Wuhan Flu: California Is Surging -- June 1, 2020

Link here.

On raw numbers alone, which, of course, mean nothing, Wuhan flu in California is now surging. This suggests that for California, the worst is yet to come.

On the other hand, raw numbers alone suggest New York state is now past the worst.

We will check back on this in one month to see if the trends hold.

For now, state rankings, number of total cases, total number of deaths, and same numbers per capita:

May 31, 2020	Total Cases	Rank	Total Deaths	Rank	Cases/1 million	Rank	Deaths/1 million	Rank	Tests/1 million	Rank	% pos tests
New York	379,902	1	29,918	1	19,529	1	1,538	1	106,090	2	18%
California	112,584	4	4,240	7	2,849	32	107	29	49,221	27	6%
Texas	64,899	7	1,686	15	2,238	39	58	41	37,022	44	6%
North Dakota	2,577	44	61	46	3,382	25	80	37	94,533	4	4%

Note: the percent positive cases is the number of total cases divided by the number of tests performed. To allow the table to fit, the column for number of tests performed is hidden, but can be seen at the link.
