COVID in Marin ... ugh

Marin HHS reports 119 new cases from 10th July to 13th, on 1818 tested. No net increases in hospitalizations, but 5 deaths are recorded on the website!!

That means that COVID has taken 10 lives in the past two weeks in Marin County (this seems to exclude San Quentin inmates). Insofar as this is true - and MarinHHS has not updated its website properly for some days - Marin has about average ( = quite bad) cases / 100k residents, but only Imperial County is worse on fatalities.

The scatter plot here covers cases and fatalities from COVID over the past 14 days. All data from LATimes' COVID website except that I've had to manually intervene on the Marin data to exclude SQ and to insert the fatalities just recorded. The data depicted only cover the 20 or so counties with the highest case rates over the past two weeks.)

That means that COVID has taken 10 lives in the past two weeks in Marin County (this seems to exclude San Quentin inmates). Insofar as this is true - and MarinHHS has not updated its website properly for some days - the past 14 or so days have seen Marin County go from 1091 confirmed cases to 1808, a change of 717. This, on a population of 251k is 285 / 100k residents. And the 10 deaths take Marin to an effective 4 fatalities / 100k.
