COVID of the day

Marin update: just 18 positive test outcomes (on 615 test results). No new hospitalizations, no deaths.

SQ continues to report declining numbers as, I assume, it transfers sick / confirmed positive inmates elsewhere. The total had reached 2,108 (not sure how large the inmate population is, but not more than 3,500?).

Masks - the county now allows ANY county government employee to issue citations for not wearing masks. In theory. We'll see.

A little heat map attached just for Marin, mapping positive cases as % of population for the county. (Converting Marin HHS data, which is by named town, into a map organized by zip code, is more work and less precise than I'd anticipated. Yellow = few people / no data or areas where the count doesn't pass the threshold at which Marin HHS issues data - and so I used 0.1% to just make the areas show up; white = no zip code.)

COVID case density - % of population known infected, by zip code. Accurate as of 22nd July 2020
