> Now if only we could get the media to report on useful statistics The website for my state [1] has a map with infection counts by county. The irritating thing about this map is it's total numbers since February. That tells me nothing useful in terms of how places are currently doing. You can click on individual counties and it'll give you the 14 day rolling total, which is pretty useful for seeing upticks and improvements. But for whatever reason, we've decided that "number of people who ever got sick" is the benchmark we need to focus on. It seems completely unhelpful.
