[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that counties have different conditions.

Yesterday I looked up the new cases for each county. It was just one day not a 7 day average (I wish we had these kinds of statistics available as well as positivity rate but right now no one is posting new cases per million per day by county.

Anyhow, it was suprising how high the new cases per million per day were for some counties!

(For comparison purposes, Italy is at THREE new cases per million per day and FLorida is at 552 new cases per million per day)

Worcester:  17/52,000= 326 new cases per million per day

Baltimore City 143/620,000 = 230 new cases per million per day

Howard County   57 / 325,000   = 175 new cases per million per day.

Baltimore County 141/827,000 = 170 new cases per million per day

AA County = 89/580,000= 153 new cases per million per day

Frederick County 40/260,000.  153 new cases per million per day.

PG County 123/909,000 = 135 new cases per million per day

Harford County  29 / 255,000    = 113 new cases per million per day

Garrett County  3/30,000 = 100 new cases per million per day

St Mary's County 11 / 113,000 =  98 new cases per million per day.

MoCo = 89 new cases per million per day

New cases per million per day is a very misleading metric. The result depends on how many tests are administered. [b]If Italy does not have comparable tests administered, then we'd be comparing apples to oranges[/b]. That's why positivity rate is more meaningful to me.[/quote]

Here's Italy's testing rate and positivity info:

Looks like about 500 tests for 100,000 people:

And their test positivity rate is very low too:

How does that compare with Maryland's testing rate and positivity?

I'm bad at math but I see that yesterday Maryland conducted about 29,000 tests   We have a population of about 6 million.   so 29000/6000000x100000=

483 tests per 100,000.  So Italy is doing a little bit more than Maryland.

Italy is doing so well now because they had the highest death rate per capita in the world from covid.  Not sure why you would be pointing to them as an exemplar unless you want us to unleash the virus on all the nursing homes or something similar.[/quote]
