(I noticed a discrepancy and investigated the difference because I track some Texas COVID #'s since that's where I live. COVID-positive hospitalizations in Texas are at this time lower than the same date last year by ~2/3. That would be very tough to reconcile with Region 5 CLI #'s. Makes a lot of sense, though, after realizing that Texas is actually the biggest state in HHS Region 6.)
Do you think adverse effects from the vaccine will get designated as "CLI"?
Most region trends are much better than last year and not tracking last year. Positive sign for winter.
Why would every region see a dip in Sept '20, but a steep rise in Sept '21? Otherwise the y-y trends seem to be consistent.
So I’m not American… do we have an idea why regions 4,6, and 10 have that much bigger peak around September?
The initial map is off. It's labeled as federal court districts, and the HHS districts are occasionally the same/similar but also often different - https://www.hhs.gov/about/agencies/iea/regional-offices/index.html

Justin, this is missing Region 11!
Are these the right charts? "with Diagnosed COVID-19" - does not seem like the right title for a CLI chart.
