This paper examines the progress of the COVID-19 virus through the Southwestern United States and the factors that raised or lowered the infection rates with a particular focus on the response of state and county governments. In it, this project shows that preventative measures being implemented only partially changed the rate of infection in the study area and that seasonal trends impacted the spread of the disease as well. This paper will also show that there were two major seasonal spikes in COVID-19, a summer spike and a winter spike, and prove that the temperature fluctuations associated with the changing seasons triggered surges in COVID-19 infections.Type
