In red zone, out of 25 states
18 have rising cases over past 2 weeks
15 have rising test positivity
13 have test + > 10%
20 have increasing hospitalizations
So in red zone, states have lots of cases and are getting worse
Not good. Need action to stem tide

Situation in yellow zone. Of 25 states + DC
17 have rising cases
15 have rising test pos
only 1 state test + >10%
These states are starting with low baseline, but generally rising
Action now would be less painful
And in green states?
No green states

So here's the bottom line
Most states with rising case counts
Majority of states with rising test + meaning missing more cases over time
Oh, and hospitalizations are up in 38 states
We as a nation need to return to basics
And control the virus before the winter arrives
