Cases and deaths of COVID-19 in the United States: Taylor's law in a plague year

Joel E. E. Cohen, Rockefeller University and Columbia University

We discover, describe, and analyze large-scale, persistent patterns in the variation over space and time of the cumulative numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths in U.S. states and counties from April 2020 to June 2021. Taylor's law of fluctuation scaling describes these patterns.

Keywords: COVID-19, Spatial statistics, Health and morbidity, Mortality
