latest infection rate 5.5% of those tested. Cummulative number 7%. The daily rate will continue dropping unless there is an explosive outbreak. That is just basic math. Test and contact trace is a joke-- too many folks to test and too many to quickly contact trace. Testing 60,000 daily is stupid. Determining the weekly infection rate in each of 10-15 metro areas by testing 3-4000 randomly will clearly inform where containment effort needs to be focused and where it is a waste of resources. They have plunty of resources but lack the brains to utilize them.

Our county (eastern KS, most populous in the state) has positive testing percentage at under 2% now, 32 cases in the hospital, typically zero, one or two cases entering he hospital per day for weeks, out of 600K people.
We need to get back to normal.

And most states are exactly like this info - huge swaths of the state with zero or one case per county. I think it is 70% of KS counties. I looked a few weeks ago, and lots of northern CA counties had no cases, too.
The counties with no cases need to be unlocked, totally.

And the sad thing is people will believe this and argue with you about how bad the virus has been here. My guess public school educations.

Los Angeles County is geographically huge and much of it is very sparsely populated. I'd like to see some kind of color coded map that shows the areas in which the infections are taking place within the county.

Mendocino County (pop 90,000) has 7 cases. We started April with four "home-grown"; all recovering without hospitalization. We passed three weeks with no new cases until one of Governor Gruesome's penitentiary pals paid a visit to friends in a remote, mountainous community. Our three active cases are in quarantine, in a village that is an hour-plus drive to the next town of 5,000 souls. Like rural New York, we are being held captive and subject to the maximum restrictions just like L.A. and S.F. I wish our county supervisors would buck the state like the northern counties to the east, but we're 70-30 (at best) dominated by aging hippies and their offspring. They've got most of the people scared.
TK let me go to town yesterday to get the truck serviced. (But he can't go to the dentist.) Afterwards I stopped at the post office and the hippie market for dog chews. They carry the best in town and its the only item I buy there. Usually they're all laid back and very friendly. I felt oppression there and couldn't wait to get out. I didn't bother with a mask at the post office because I was going to my box, but several mask wearers gave me the stink eye. I don't like what is happening in town. It was creepy.

I'm wondering if there's any distinguishing feature about these 5 southern, California counties? By the way, what's going on with Covid in Mexico?

What percentage of California's population resides in those 5 counties? CV severity seems to go along with population density.

My small county in the Sierras (norcal) is virtually untouched. You can have no trouble telling the locals from those that come up from the cities. They don masks with wide eyed fear and proceed to buy up most everything in the market, which still includes toilet paper. Lemmings.

Have to unblock ads to read. No.
That said, we are in the San Gabriel Valley part of LA County. A world away from congested downtown and environs. Many Chinese here; not many cases. No excitement. DH and I saw our excellent opthalmologist for semi-annual checkup yesterday. DH had virtual visit with his internist last week. I’ll see my ortho surgeon Monday. Masks required. No big deal. GNC even had masks for sale.

All the counties with big cities in them. City living is taking your chances for premature death. Yet the glorious UN wants the whole country living in cities? I don't think so. But that's the goal of Agenda 21.
