Return to the Covid Index page.
The following charts show time-series analyses of deaths per capita due to COVID-19. The per capita rate shown is deaths per 1M population. Most states have shown a sharp decline since late winter and since more Americans have received vaccinations.
Michigan had a well-documented rise in cases in mid-spring 2021. That rise in cases shows a comparable rise in death rates during this same period. But, this rise in death rates appears to be abating as well.

Note:
Short spikes in data of 1-2 days generally reflect corrections made to state totals by state agencies. Plotting smoothed data is designed to minimize this effect, but some corrections are large enough to create spikes.
