Mapping the Pandemic
Six Month Progression to Uncontrolled Spread
The last six months of the pandemic…mapped month-by-month!
Comparison to the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic
The worst seasonal influenza pandemic of the past quarter of a century was the global H1N1 outbreak in 2009. More people in the U.S. contracted the flu during that pandemic than during any of the past 25 years.
Comparing the 2009 H1N1 infection rate to the equivalent chance of catching Covid-19, that equivalence is 150 cases-per-day per 1M population.
The chart below shows five states at various levels of uncontrolled spread, with that 150 cases-per-day baseline at the bottom of the graph. Anything above that 150-line is a means your chance of getting catching Covid-19 is HIGHER than catching the flu during the worst flu pandemic of the past quarter of a century!
This is NOT the flu…please stay home unless you have to go out!
