Memorial Day Madness – the point of US divergence

I think it can all be traced back to Memorial Day. Prior to that time – the US was enjoying a declining trend in cases and fatalities.

Starting with an assumption that all cases in the last 2 weeks are contagious – we get these startling stats on which states have the most contagious populations. We hope this population (after all they have been tested postive), are self isolating – but there is also an unknown population of untested, asymptomatic people.
