COVID how're we doing

Monday data is always the catch up for Marin HHS. Cumulative total as of last night is 2288, up 200 from Friday night. 10 newly hospitalized. 1 new death. 124 of the new cases were in San Rafael; two each in Belvedere and Tiburon; none in Sausalito, Marin City or Mill Valley.

So, how is Marin County doing, compared to the rest of the Bay Area? Let's look at the average number of cases over the past week. And then make that new cases per million people: Marin has just 258k people: only Napa (135k) among the Bay Area counties has fewer. Santa Clara has 1.8 million.

The graph: Marin doing quite a bit worse than other counties. Checking these: Marin has about 68 new cases / day, and a population of 251k, so it rates about 250 cases / day / million. San Francisco has about 126 cases per day. But SF has a population of 871k, so it has an effective rate of 155 cases / day per million.
