That’s exactly what I thought. The whole of the country looks like an unmitigated virus failure. Some states are worse off, but only a fraction look positive.

Not sure why Axios feels the need to try and pin the whole thing on the Midwest.

That just means whoever wants to prove natural herd immunity theory right has to act now, before it's mooted. /s > If we had delayed the second (third?) wave a couple more months or flattened its peak a little bit the vaccine would have saved us. But that kind of success would have proven so many people wrong, people who really want to be right.

It looks like the big coastal states are about 1.5 to 2x better in terms of cases per capita than the interior states. That's a Big majority of the US population. I would imagine it's also more impactful due to sparser ICU capacity.
