As you can see from the map, the U.S. no longer has any green states (On Track for Containing the Virus), whereas less than 2 weeks ago, we still did. 32 states are now in the Red (>25 new daily infections per 100,000 residents) or Orange zones (10-24 new daily infections per 100,000 residents), or 64% of the country, and should implement Stay-at-Home orders, according to Harvard's Path to Zero website. This is a 10% increase over 4 days ago, and a 52% increase in the past week!
California now has 16 counties in the critical red zone (a 33% increase over 4 days ago), and 20 countries in the dangerous orange zone, for a total of 36 counties (61% of the state) requiring immediate mandatory lock downs in order to bring the infection rate back to a manageable rate. Additionally, while the state had 6 counties in the green zone (less than 1 new daily infection per 100,000 residents, and on track for containment) just 4 days ago, it now has only 3, indicating that even its most remote and sparsely populated regions are getting slammed and that the state is moving further away from containment.
