Ferry, Stevens, and Spokane counties are standouts in terms of % of tests returning (+)
Of the three, Spokane stands out because 1 in 10 tests are (+) and there are 400 cases/100K persons

Daily #COVID19 Data Discovery — Colorado (1/x)
Pretty obvious that folks in Colorado gathered during Christmas —
there’s a full reversal in the case curve on Dec 30th.
those gatherings introduced a 3.5 week delay in recovery…maybe longer

State-level mobility shows that folks went to malls and grocery stores leading up to Christmas, but (mostly) stayed home for NYE— that *may* translate into 1 post-holiday surge (instead of 2), but it’s too early to tell.

Daily #COVID19 Data Discovery — Texas TSA E (1/x)
Note how the available beds (light green bars) shrink over time as more COVID-19 patients are admitted

Play this clip a few times and note how:
# of hospitalized patients w/ COVID keeps going up
% of beds w/ COVID-19 patients goes up then falls as beds are added, which drives the % down —> this happens multiple times
