The data isn’t accurate or reliable. Many states aren’t reporting data. The CDC map is a joke.

Hospitalizations are up *450%* in some Oklahoma counties—and yet they appear yellow in the CDC map. CDC recommendation at yellow level: “If you are at high risk of getting very sick, wear a high-quality mask or respirator (e.g., N95) when indoors in public.”

Other areas of concern are:

Southeast Texas (Presidio, Brewster and Jeff Davis counties): hospitalizations up 100% in one week
Northeastern Oregon (Wallowa, Union and Baker counties)
Central Oklahoma (Seminole, Hughes, Pontotoc and Coal counties): hospitalizations jumped 450%
Hawaii County: hospitalizations up 64%
Southern Nebraska (Adams, Clay, Webster and Nuckolls counties): hospitalizations up 125%
Mohave County, Arizona: hospitalizations elevated, but dropping week over week
Colquitt County, Georgia: hospitalizations up 67% CDC map: Reported COVID-19 New Hospital Admissions Rate per 100,000 Population in the Past Week, by County – United States. Data through 7/22/2023.
