This is a market on whether the United States will report a 7-day average of COVID-19 cases for the date of November 17th that is higher than the 7-day average of COVID-19 cases reported for the date of November 10th. This market will resolve on data from the CDC's Data Tracker, specifically, the 7-day moving average of COVID-19 cases for the United States, which is available at https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrendscases (navigate to "Select a state or territory" and select “United States”, and then scroll to "Data Table for Daily Case Trends" and view the data in the "7-Day Moving Avg" column, which is able to be sorted in descending order). 

The resolution source will be reviewed at 8 PM ET on November 24th to check the 7-day average for both the dates of November 17th and November 10th.  If the 7-day average for November 17th exceeds that of November 10th at this check, "Yes" will win.  Otherwise, "No" will win.  If the resolution source is unavailable at that time, the resolution source will be checked again at 8pm the following and each subsequent day until it is available. If the resolution source is unavailable by December 1, 2021, 8 PM ET, another credible source will be checked instead.

Will the 7-day COVID-19 case average on November 17th be higher than it was a week earlier?
