All but three states are now in the red zone for new coronavirus cases, according to new White House coronavirus task force reports.

“There is now aggressive, unrelenting, expanding broad community spread across the country, reaching most counties, without evidence of improvement but rather, further deterioration,” the task force told governors in its Nov. 15 reports. “Current mitigation efforts are inadequate and must be increased to flatten the curve to sustain the health system for both COVID and non-COVID emergencies.” Hawaii, Maine and Vermont are the only states not in the red zone for cases, meaning they had fewer than 101 new cases last week per 100,000 residents. More than half of states are also now in the White House’s red zones for test positivity and deaths.

Edit: Ah, I see the problem. One is a daily rate and one is a weekly rate.
