Introduction
The US has become the country with the most confirmed cases of covid-19 with 86 762 diagnoses on the morning of 27 March—more than China or Italy—and 1306 deaths. The rise in cases is steeper in the US than in any other large country. Almost half of US cases are in the state of New York while neighbouring New Jersey has the second-most cases. Texas and some other states now require people coming from New York to self-quarantine. But there are multiple cases in every US state and every sizeable city, with prominent clusters in New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and the Denver region.
