User:Love of Corey/sandbox/COVID-19 pandemic in the United States by state

In January 2020, the United States experienced the beginning of a pandemic of a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The first two cases were reported in Washington and Illinois in late January, both of them U.S. citizens who returned to the country after visiting Wuhan, China, the strain's location of origin. The first reported case of local transmission in the U.S. occurred days after the second case, involving the patient's husband.

Seven known COVID-19 cases were reported at the start of February, but that number increased to over a thousand by mid-March. As the pandemic worsened across the rest of the world, the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. exceeded a million by the end of April. By early August, that number surpassed five million; and by early November, it surpassed ten million. The earliest confirmed death from COVID-19 in the U.S. occurred on February 6 in California, but the death had not been confirmed until months later. By mid-April, the death toll from the pandemic in the U.S. exceeded 20,000, the highest in the world. By the end of May, the death toll exceeded 100,000; by late September, it exceeded 200,000; and by mid-December, it exceeded 300,000.
