Coronavirus Infection Rates: 10 US States Higher Than Any Country in the World

The New York Times has created a surprising interactive analysis of the number of coronavirus cases (per million residents) in different countries:With its cases surging since mid-June, the United States is squarely in the top 10. Leading the outbreak now are countries in the Persian Gulf, where the virus has spread rapidly among foreign laborers. [Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait.] Rounding out the top 10 are South Africa, Israel and several countries in Latin America. [Panama, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia] The current U.S. outbreak is especially stark when compared to other large, high-income countries. All have few cases today compared to the United States... Italy and Spain saw some of the worst early outbreaks, before strict control measures brought cases down. Now, some schools are open, adults are back at work and tourists are on vacation. Even Sweden, where cases surged after the government chose to forgo the strict lockdowns of its neighbors, has seen cases drop. The surge in the United States is so extreme that, once adjusted for population, these 10 states are recording more new cases than any country in the world. [Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Arizona, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas, Idaho, and Tennessee].
