re: Daily COVID Updated as of 11/2/20 8:00 PM

I've been playing around with the new case growth data trying to see if there was some way to correlate the rise in cases after 1) The rioting following GF's death and 2) States moving into Phase 2.

To accomplish this, I have been looking at the growth of the 7 Day average for new cases for a given day vs, the 7 day average from 14 days prior.

For example: For Florida, the 7 Day average for new cases yesterday was 6,990. 14 days ago, the 7 Day average for new cases was 2,016. The growth from 14 days ago until now is 4,975 cases per day which is equal to 246% growth

I calculated that for every day for every state and then heatmap'd the 20 states with the highest 14-day growth in the average number of cases. It looks like the heatmap below.



The 1st date is 5/25 (The date of GF's Death). The black boxes represent the date the state went into Phase 2. The Red Border cells are the date the numbers began to climb. The numbers across the top represent the number of days after George Floyd's death.

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue this analysis, I thought I would share it and see if anyone was interested or had thoughts.
