🇺🇸USA: "Map Shows ‘Rapid Spread’ of COVID Cases as School Classes Canceled" "As of August 19, COVID infections are currently growing or likely growing in 47 states, while no states are estimated to be experiencing a decrease in cases." Archive link: https://archive.md/PI7z2

A map titled "COVID-19 Case Growth By State, August 2026." Text below states that the CDC reports COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in all estimated states. A legend details four categories: Growing (red), Likely Growing (orange), Not Changing (green), and Not Estimated (grey). The United States map is almost entirely shaded in solid red, indicating widespread case growth across nearly all states, including Alaska and Hawaii. The few exceptions are: • Likely Growing (orange): South Dakota and South Carolina. • Not Changing (green): Wisconsin. • Not Estimated (grey): Iowa, Georgia, and Rhode Island. The footer credits Newsweek for the map, the CDC as the source, and notes it was created with Datawrapper.
