words are many times exaggerated 

how many times yesterday did announcers call out a play or a reception as "unbelievable" or "amazing" or "miraculous"

we could all very easily "believe" that the play happened

the WR was "wide open" or "covered like a blanket"

This last one is exceptionally overused, TBH

The narrative efforts to make these problems always something that could affect others and not one's self have been an interesting hallmark of this event. I suppose I shouldn't be bothered by leading without a shred of empathy, but it does always feel weird just the same.
Yeah, the whole "I probably won't die, so why should I change my behavior just to help other people?" take seems exceptionally callous.

Just looked at the trends in the US for cases... I don't know how strong of a correlation it is, but it certainly appears that Northern/cold states are seeing bigger increases right now than Southern/warm states. 

Do you all agree, or is this a figment of my imagination?

I agree if you consider Iowa a northern/cold state

Sure seems like it is increasing. What I always ask when case spikes happen is how many tests are being done.

Yes, Illinois reported its most cases in a day since May, yesterday. Of course, that's the headline. No mention of the number of tests, which is probably 5 times what it was in May.

I've long tried to focus on percentage, with half an eye toward total tests. 

Ideally the percentage should be super low, since the availability of tests is so much higher. Illinois' percentage is a bit higher than the low in July (4.4 to 2.7), though drastically down from earlier. Wisconsin though, yikes.

Yep. Left Kenosha just in time, just as we left Florida just in time back in early June.

Iowa now is reporting percentage of tests positive

around 10% lately

While the number of positive cases is of interest I think the better stat to monitor is hospitalizations and deaths

That is because the number of tests will not affect these stats

I would be curious to look at the % of increase or decrease of these two stats in states with increasing positive cases
