Cases per 1000
Covid County Map Dated: 04/22/20
A few people asked for the map presented this way.
The data for this map was pulled from:
https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/tree/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_daily_reports
I am validating data by comparing it with other sources:
https://covidtracking.com/data/
https://infection2020.com/
https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en
as well as various state .gov websites
No claims of the use or accuracy of these maps is implied.

Seems to me all those green areas should be able to exit hibernation almost immediately.
Yep, and the bears are getting real hungry.
yes — but they need to put restrictions on entry of people from the red places
Seems to me the folks who live in those places will be paying attention to what is going on and unless I miss my guess they probably won’t be their “usual friendly selves” to people coming in suddenly from outside. I suspect it will run a little deeper than no “Welcome Wagon” of hot muffins and local honey.
I expect people are straining at the leash.
People are talking about “it’s like this over there” or “like that yonder” but they don’t really know what it’s actually like. My son lives in Florida. He’s been playing golf once a week the whole time. Hasn’t missed a day of work. In reality I suspect much of the country has actually been this way the entire time.
That's the way it's been around me. Just about everyone I know is working. The only difference in life I see is going to the store, and not being able to sit down in a restaurant. We have a high case count, but that's only because it's out of control in two nursing homes. One traveling healthcare worker who was positive went into both homes and infected the hell out of them.
...and I do believe that is exactly what Fauci and Birx have been saying, these spurious cases can be tracked and their contacts quarantined. For most of the country there is just no further justification for mitigation. In those places where the epidemic is still active, well, sucks to be you but there it is.
The two hotspots in Ohio are prisons which were recently tested. One had about a 70% infection rate.
Has Oregon even been looking???
What’s going on north of Amarillo?
Alaska and Hawaii aren’t shown. I guess it really doesn’t matter. The map looks like a green apple that is starting to rot.
what’s going on in the south? Many rural counties in Georgia, Mississippi and north Louisiana seem high compared to rural counties nationwide.
If this is by county, why are some counties only partially colored?
I believe this map is random bs.
Lifestyle? A lot of people in the South are big on going to visit the “mo maw an dem”.
I suppose that when you are looking at "cases per 1000" it can seem much more prevalent in sparsely populated areas. I too was curious that Georgia seemed to have it's hot spot near Columbus with a population of ~198,000. I searched for GA stats and found two links to raw numbers.
and from GA Dept of Public health
This gives a different look to the data and makes Atlanta seem to be the center, as I would have thought.
The colored areas are negatively superimposed with the high population density areas within that county. Coloring the whole county with one color would be non-nonsensical since the majority of people live in the cities.
If you look at the map from GA Dept of Public health titled “COVID-19 Confirmed Case Rate per 100,000 persons by County”, it resembles the “Cases per 1000” map, just with a different scaling factor.
I believe that a chicken plant in that area has had a number of cases and I believe the low population density makes it look hotter. I wasn’t questioning your effort, which does provide good information in my opinion.
I was tagging you in response to ChronicMA. FReegards.
