Many of the maps and charts on the web show the Covid-19 crisis through static numbers. Though this situation has improved, there are still a lot of bad charts that can be misleading. We hope with this chart and others to try to show the trajectory, and most importantly, how that looks locally. This compares localities to the counties larger state, and the country as a whole.

Local numbers are what should matter to you the most.
