COVID-19 in the United States





The blue (orange) dots are the cumulative number of *reported* cases/deaths in the United States (Florida).

The solid cyan (yellow) line is a best-fit function (exponential or linear) over a specified time period; the dashed cyan (yellow) line extrapolates that trend.

The simple functions do not consider population, actual infection rates, or anything biological.
