Fig. 6From: Social mobilization and polarization can create volatility in COVID-19 pandemic controlThe coupling of mobilizability and growth of COVID-19. The rank correlation between the mobilizability and the growth rate of infection in states between March and April (left), and between June and July (right) for a Republican-oriented campaign (a) and Democratic-oriented campaign (b). We measure the mobilizability of each state in the simulation on the 7th day from the beginning. The mobilization size is estimated from the median time series of 100 simulations as in Fig. 3. The growth rate compares the average daily new confirmed cases between two consecutive months. A few states with a small number of confirmed cases less than 1000 on June 1st (i.e., Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Vermont and Wyoming) are excluded in the correlationBack to article page
