The new coronavirus map shows that more than half of all states have a “poor trend” or “uncontrolled spread”
A new map highlighting the spread of the coronavirus shows that more than half of all states “have a poor trend” or face “uncontrolled spread” as COVID-19 continues to resurface in the United States.
Created by covidexitstrategy.org, the map tracks each state’s coronavirus response based on a set of criteria provided by the White House that specifies what each state and region must meet before moving forward with plans to reopen their economies. The map measures and scores each state based on the number of positive cases over a 14-day period using a 7-day moving average, bed capacity in hospitals and intensive care units, and positivity rates.
According to the figure, New York, once the epicenter of the virus, tends to improve, while almost all southern and midwestern states are suffering much worse. California is listed with an “uncontrolled extension” with 219 cases per million people.
Texas, Florida, and Georgia are also seeing huge increases in COVID-19 cases. Click here for more information on our main story.

Trump is a big factor in Tuesday’s primaries as ex-AG Sessions fights for political life in Alabama
While the influence of political backing is always debatable, there is little argument that President Trump’s backing in a Republican primary can make a big difference.
While his record is not perfect (three Trump-backed House candidates have lost the primaries in recent weeks), the President’s support is extremely influential, especially in potential low-turnout contests, such as the Senate second round Tuesday in Alabama and two second round of the House district in Texas.
In Alabama, former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions is fighting for his political life while fighting the president’s anger. Sessions, who served a dozen years as an Alabama senator before becoming Trump’s first attorney general in 2017, angered the president by recusing himself that year from Russia’s investigation into the 2016 election. His rival, a first-time politician. and former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville enjoys the backing of the President. Click here for more.
