You ABSOLUTELY CAN trust COVID data coming out of your state tho, generally speaking. The feds punted responsibility in managing this crisis to the states early on, so most states managed to develop individual, fairly sophisticated reporting systems for tests, infections, and hospital data. Some are an absolute mess, but generally, states have the reliable info. The ones you should be wary of are the ones you always should've been wary of - Texas, Florida, spots where the governors are Trump lackeys, and even they haven't been able to hide from the reality that they're getting it bad right now.

Always use the Johns Hopkins University dashboard for nationwide (and worldwide; WHO's reporting lags sometimes) information, as they've been tracking COVID data reported by individual counties for months.
