Covid-19 comparisons for the U.S.A.
Once a Week from August 18 to September 23

This table lists the Covid-19 infection rate and
deaths per 100,000 in population for all 50 states,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.  Unlike
my previous table that showed the raw data which
could give wrong impressions simply because a state
with a large population could have a large number
of cases and a state with a small population could
have a small number of cases.  This table evens the
playing field by comparing numbers for an equivalent
100,000 population.

The following table is a snapshot of 1 day per week
since August 18, 2021.  The "Cases" row is the total
number of infections per 100,000 in population.  The
"change" rows are the changes in Cases or Deaths
since the previous week.

These tables contain the computed data.  It is up to you
to interpret the data so that it is meaningful to you.  The
tables are useful in noting trends.  Pay particular attention
to the "change" rows, as comparing these will help you to
determin how quickly infections and/or deaths are increasing. 
An exceptionally large increase is displayed in red.

Covid-19 Data per 100,000 population for states in the U.S.A.

The states are ordered best (lowest Covid) to worst
(highest Covid) using the latest infection Cases number
for the last week in the table -- Sept 23, 2021. 

All of the data in the U.S. table below comes from ...
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/09/01/816707182/map-tracking-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus-in-the-u-s

The data is rounded up or down to the nearest integer value.

Red in the Cases row means more than 16,000 Cases per 100,000 population.
Red in the Cases change row means more than a 900 increase.
Red in the Deaths row means more than 300 Deaths per 100,000 population.
Red in the Deaths change row means a change of 8 or more.
A red number in bold means this is the maximum found in that category.
*NOTE: I cannot explain the weird numbers for New York.

Summary

There was a sudden increase in both Cases and Deaths
around September 1.  The increase started in some states
a week or 2 earlier, while in other states it came a week
or 2 later.  A few states were spared this increase.  For
many states, the surge is continuing to increase, while
it is starting to increase more slowly for a few states. 

I found these numbers per 100,000 population to be
surprising.  States that I originally thought had low
Covid-19 infections and deaths, were actually worse
than some states that I originally thought had high Covid-19 infections and and deaths.
