COVID

Four people newly dead from COVID per the Friday Marin HHS report (this does not include San Quentin inmates).

66 new confirmed cases; no newly hospitalized. Total cumulative tested positive as of Friday was 2,482 - a whisker under 1% of the county. The HHS numbers don't quite add up on geographic distribution, but you'll see that over 2% of San Rafael has tested positive (it's 2.7% in 94901). Spread in southern Marin remains at a lower pace. The number of tests (or tested people?) in Marin is equivalent to nearly 19% of the county's population.

(Tomorrow, I hope to describe the estimates of how many people have been infected and not counted via tests.)

San Quentin counts 864 inmates as currently infected; the county, using a different approach, lists 2,071 - out of an inmate population of 3,771 - as having been infected: 55%!

(All today’s data from Marin HHS, current as of Friday 24th July)
