Figure 1. Waves of COVID-19. County/municipality new daily deaths were averaged over a 7-day period, scaled to per 100,000 people, and plotted over time from March 2020 to December 2021.

Figure 2. Mapping COVID-19 SMR in the U.S. and Mexico. A) SMR from COVID-19 was used to create a choropleth map highlighting greater SMR along the border. B) A zoomed in map of border states.

Figure 3. Mapping COVID-19 SMR in the U.S. and Mexico Throughout the Pandemic. SMR from COVID-19 was used to create 6 choropleth maps to highlight how mortality evolved over the course of the pandemic.
