Since i've often complained about the data presentation throughout this (e.g. - "total cases" as the end all be all), I finally decided to look through the actual source data that the county posts... the link (6.16) is below along with some observations I picked out.
I'm not trying to prove any particular point here, but some interesting things imo.....If anyone sees any errors or thinks i unfairly failed to mention something, lets hear it.
