This paper examines the connection between regional COVID-19 case growth and outcomes in the United States during the spring and summer of 2020 In the Northeast, rapid growth in COVID-19 cases during March and April led to rapid growth in hospitalizations and deaths In the South, case growth in June and July was similar to case growth in the Northeast during March and April, but hospitalizations peaked at less than half the level and deaths peaked at a quarter of the level of those in the Northeast Trends in the West and Midwest were relatively flat by comparison, with slower case growth and lower levels of hospitalizations and deaths than in the South
