Each bar shows weekly case growth since March. Moving from left to right, you can see the steady increase.

You'll notice, since October weekly growth has really ramped up.

The case counts after holidays are marked with different colors. This week, the week after Halloween, the number of Hoosiers infected significantly jumped.

The growth this week is the highest we've seen so far.

Case counts have also been growing week to week for more than a month. 

And with Thanksgiving just weeks away, we're keeping a close eye on these trends.
