This is a market on whether the United States of America or the European Union will report a higher 7-day COVID-19 case average per capita on February 8 2022.

This market will resolve on data aggregated by Our World in Data, specifically, the 7-day rolling average of COVID-19 cases for the USA and the EU with Metric "Confirmed Cases", Interval "7-day rolling average", and the Relative to Population checkbox checked, which is available at https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer.

This market will resolve to one of the aforementioned which, by the resolution source, has reported the highest 7-day case average per capita for February 8.

The resolution source will be reviewed on February 10 2022 at 8 PM ET and - if the data for February 8 is not be available then - will be checked every 24 hours for a week. If the data is not available by then, the most recent available data will be used.
