Several cities soon may experience COVID-19 surges on par with New York City if current growth trajectories continue, according to a new analysis from The New York Times.
The publication created a set of interactive charts assessing COVID-19's growth in metro areas with at least 200 cases or 100 deaths. The charts are based on county-level data obtained by the Times and will be updated daily.
