Coronavirus Contextualized, 7th edition: Exploring, through data, COVID-19 in Nevada and beyond

SHARE

Welcome to the seventh installment of "Coronavirus Contextualized," a recurring feature in which we explore some of the numbers swirling around in the time of coronavirus.

Through these stories, we hope to parse some of those numbers, including confirmed cases of COVID-19, people tested, number of hospitalizations and deaths, and provide some context to them. Some parts of the story will look familiar and will simply include updated data points from prior editions. (You can view the first one, from April 1, here, the second one, from April 8, here, the third one, from April 15, here, the fourth one, from April 22, here, the fifth one, from April 29, here, and the sixth one, from May 6, here.) Other parts may be new, graphs and charts we've thought of as we attempt to help you understand what's going on. Not every feature will be included every week, so check back to prior editions for other data and charts.

We're also taking suggestions for what kind of data or graphs you would like to see appear in future versions of this story. You can reach out to [email protected] with any feedback. (You can also reach out — kindly! — with any errors you spy. We're a small team, and we're doing our very best to bring you all the information we can.)

Below, we take a look at what we do and don't know about coronavirus in Nevada, how Nevada stacks up against other states and projections for the future.

We’re looking out for Nevada — and for you

At The Nevada Independent, we spend our days monitoring government meetings so the public knows what’s happening behind the scenes, holding powerful institutions accountable, and helping you understand the issues that affect you.

In this critical election year, that mission is especially important.

In 2026, we’re closely watching state races, policy changes, and public accountability — so our community has accurate, trusted information when it matters most.

We’ve set a goal to raise $48,000 by April 24. Every gift moves us closer.

Will you step up and help us serve our community?
