Updated data from Thursday shows that large parts of the South and Southwest are showing an 'epidemic trend' or 'spreading trend' for new coronavirus infections. Nearly 670 counties are currently seeing a controlled trend in new coronavirus cases. A color-coded data map, compiled by spatial analytics company Esri, shows that 23 percent of counties across the US are now seeing an uncontrollable growth in new COVID-19 infections. Currently, the US has recorded more than 2.3 million coronavirus cases and more than 121,000 Americans have died from the virus. Data shows that the current levels in those cities is similar to where parts of Arizona, Texas and Florida were just a few weeks ago.
