It just means you can choose to reference the chart that gets your point across
I don't know how this was calculated, but would guess an appearance on both charts means things are still bad but were much worse last week. E.g. last week the projected doubling rate was 5 days and this week it is 15. Still in the top 20 fastest growing, but at a slower rate than last week.
Good site, now working for me.
Interestingly, it has the following recommendations based on the color-coded map:
Stay at home orders necessary:
Florida
Arizona
South Carolina
Stay at home orders and/or rigorous test and trace programs
Louisiana
Nevada
Mississippi
Texas
Georgia
Alabama
Arkansas
Utah
Tennessee
California
North Carolina
Idaho
Iowa
Is there a single of the above states that are doing what this group of scientists recommend? And that's at the state level. There are far more counties in other states that say stay-at-home orders necessary.

Not really. Durham has had a mask rule all along, Raleigh just started and is not enforcing. Durham closed down earlier and started re-opening later. Raleigh's nightlife lately has been like nothing is wrong, and the mayor has been a total wuss regarding enforcement.
Plus, a lot of Durham's cases have been in nursing homes and the prison. Not as much community spread. I hope it stays that way.
I love our country, but history will record that our collective response to this crisis has been abysmal, arrogant, stupid, and irresponsible. There's just no other way to look at it. From our leaders to our citizens, it is almost like we have actively sought out the worst possible response. And as a result, we are here...

Time for a stiff gin and tonic!
Texas gov just mandated masks "in public places" for about 67% of the state...
It was speculated by others in this thread but we now have a study showing the mutated European strain is 10 times more infectious. That partly explains the rapid spread in the West. It’s not more deadly thankfully. It seems this is the dominant strain now so the Asian countries have yet to deal with this variant. They where able to control the original strain. It’s inevitable that this strain will find it’s way to China, Japan and South Korea. This isn’t over for anybody.

I posted a link earlier this week to a Washington Post article on this. There is some debate as to whether the new variant is actually more infectious. https://www.washingtonpost.com/scien...e/?arc404=true

I suspect the first represents those with the quickest doubling rates right now, while the second shows those with the largest improvement in doubling rate in the past week. So, the AZ cities have very high rates but nowhere near as bad as they were last week.
Yeah, I know you went to school at Duke, but as a Durham native, I can tell you that Durham and Raleigh share absolutely nothing except an airport. I hardly ever even went to Raleigh growing up. don't know my way around the city, wouldn't recognize it from pictures, not my town, at all. My high school didn't even play against any Raleigh schools in sports.
