Maine’s website does an excellent job of showing this. For unknown reasons, this is largely ignored in the media. Yet anyone with a minimal understanding of statistics should accept that this is a far better measurement than total illnesses. But large numbers are fodder for the media, so they put out this stuff that is largely meaningless to understanding what’s really happening. Show the trend of active cases: total infections less recoveries and deaths.
