States are shown below in descending order of new cases per 100K population for the week of May 2nd. (The number after the state name is its population in millions.) How to read: Washington DC had the highest number of new cases per 100K population last week, with consistent increases over the previous two weeks. Policy question: Does it make sense to start to reopen Rhode Island, which found 172 new cases per 100K population last week (albeit down from the period 14 days earlier), but not Oregon, which found only 12 new cases per 100K population (albeit up slightly from the period 14 days earlier)?
