We've been watching our cases rise and rise since mid-September, but nothing except more easings. Meanwhile, the 7 day moving average of daily new cases surpassed its previous all time peak on September 21 at 856 cases. As of November 8, the 7dma of new cases is 4,313 cases, a 5-fold increase.

In just the last 14 days, our new cases have gone up 2.75-fold.

We're now #7 at your link ( https://covidactnow.org/?s=1304314 ) in daily new cases per capita, and have a high 14.9% test positivity rate.

Yes of course it hasn't helped that 3 of our 4 U.S. neighbors (NoDak, SoDak, Wisconsin) have been in the top 3 or 4 spots most of the time for weeks in terms of new cases per capita. (The 4th U.S. neighbor, Iowa, has ranked between #5 and #8 for weeks until recently. Its now at #4).
