| Kenya Evelyn has been in Washington for us reporting on the multiple factors that are putting Black and Latino Americans disproportionately at risk of contracting and dying of Covid-19. | |

| One of the things about the spread of the coronavirus is that it has not been even across the country. Some states have been badly affected and are approaching their full ICU capacity - others seem relatively unscathed. The Washington Post has been tracking which states currently have the highest new daily incidences of Covid-19 cases per capita. | |
| Florida – 52 new daily cases per 100,000 residents | |
| Arizona – 48 | |
| Louisiana – 42 | |
| South Carolina – 34 | |
| Texas – 33 | |
| Georgia – 32 | |
| Alabama – 30 | |
| Idaho – 28 | |
| Tennessee – 28 | |
| Nevada – 27 | |
| Mississippi – 26 | |
| Arkansas – 23 | |
| Utah – 21 | |
| California – 21 | |
| The states least affected at the moment, with six or fewer new daily cases are Rhode Island, Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wyoming, Hawaii, New Hampshire and Maine. | |
| Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are also experiencing very low new daily case figures at the moment - three or fewer - though these states are coming down from very high peaks earlier in the year. | |
| Bear in mind though that for once the Donald Trump argument about the more you test, the more you detect, is in play here. If there are two states with the same baseline incidence of Covid-19, the state with the more efficient testing regime will discover more of the cases. The numbers are still a useful guide though for the comparative impact on each state. | |
