Here’s the COVID-19 case, death, and vaccination data on states hardest hit by Delta

There have been 4.6 million new COVID-19 cases since June 20, when the number of cases hit the lowest level since March 2020. Every state has had a spike in cases, though Southeastern states have been harder hit than others. These states have similar though not identical trends in other COVID-19 metrics, including deaths and vaccinations.
