About this data

State of the virus

Update for Dec. 9

  • More than 120,000 coronavirus cases are emerging each day as conditions continue to worsen, especially in the Great Lakes region and in the Northeast.
  • Cases, deaths and hospitalizations are rising nationally, but remain below the levels seen during the summer and during last winter’s peak.
  • New Hampshire leads the country in recent cases per capita. More coronavirus patients are hospitalized in that state than at any other point in the pandemic.
  • Michigan has the country’s highest hospitalization rate. Federal medical teams have been sent there to help handle the surge in patients.
  • The Southwest has also struggled in recent weeks. Arizona and New Mexico have hospitalization rates that are among the worst in the country.
  • The country is reporting more than 1,200 deaths a day, on average, and is on pace to surpass 800,000 total deaths in the coming days.
  • The current uptick is being driven by the Delta variant. It is not yet known how the Omicron variant, which continues to emerge in more states, might affect those trends in the coming weeks and months.
  • About 60 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated. Around 1.9 million doses are being administered each day, a figure that includes booster doses for vaccinated people.

Rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that people who are unvaccinated are at a much greater risk than those who are fully vaccinated to test positive or die from Covid-19. These charts compare age-adjusted average daily case and death rates for vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the 22 states and two cities that provide this data.

About the data

The Times has identified reporting anomalies or methodology changes in the data.

More about reporting anomalies or changes

Confirmed cases and deaths, which are widely considered to be an undercount of the true toll, are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a molecular laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who meet criteria for other types of testing, symptoms and exposure, as developed by national and local governments.

Governments often revise data or report a single-day large increase in cases or deaths from unspecified days without historical revisions, which can cause an irregular pattern in the daily reported figures. The Times is excluding these anomalies from seven-day averages when possible. For agencies that do not report data every day, variation in the schedule on which cases or deaths are reported, such as around holidays, can also cause an irregular pattern in averages. The Times uses an adjustment method to vary the number of days included in an average to remove these irregularities.
