The U.S. is moving toward Christmas in dramatically different shape than it was before Thanksgiving. A month ago, case counts had been rising, to about 90,000 per day on average. For much of December cases appeared to hover around 120,000 but have recently leaped above 130,000 per day, Johns Hopkins data shows.

Overall, the CDC says about three-quarters of counties have high levels of transmission. But where you live is important. The pace of cases is up 393% in Hawaii, more than tripled in Connecticut and New Jersey, and more than doubled in Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island. But cases appear to have fallen in at least a third of the states – down 72% in Montana, 61% in Wyoming, 58% in Alaska, 46% in Colorado.
