Fact check: President Trump claimed the coronavirus pandemic is abating 'almost everywhere' despite data showing that the virus is on the rise in a slew of states.
Still, state data and projections offer some indication of how the U.S. is doing — and they don't back Trump up, either.an analysis of state and local data by The New York Times
. In 27 other states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., the Times analysis says, the growth of the virus might be slowing, but a lack of widespread testing suggests that infections are also being undercounted. Cases are decreasing in 14 states and Guam, the analysis says.— whose projections the White House has touted — recently raised its death toll projections because Americans are moving around more and states are easing social distancing restrictions.
More activity raises the rate of infection and deaths, researchers said, particularly as governors reopen their states to encourage economic activity. The institute's state-level projections show estimated infections on the rise in Arizona, Florida, Missouri and other states. Other states are at or near their estimated infection peaks, without proven declines. In some states, testing does not exceed or even come close to the estimated number of infections, something that suggests an undercount and makes the data more unreliable, Redlener said.
"It's not appropriate to say the U.S. is consistently on a downward trend at all," Redlener said."In some places, it might be the direct opposite of that."
