I don't know about SF specifically, but according to [1], California is doing about average for the US and is at the world's top 30 (higher is worse) for deaths per million, so I'd guess it's more #2 than #1.
Is SF doing significantly better than the rest of California, in general? Hopefully now enough people are vaccinated that the rates have dropped.
- jmcgough 5y agoThe cases per capita in SF were about 1/10 those in LA at its peak, so the pandemic in california was really focused in socal.
- StavrosK 5y agoOh aha, thanks for that stat, I didn't know.
- khawkins 5y agoI had the same suspicion and did the math based on the numbers below. 40,273 cases/1M pop (better than 49 states) 597 deaths/1M pop (better than 48 states) https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/COVID-19-Cases-and-Deaths/dak2-gvuj/ https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/COVID-19-Cases-and-Deaths/d... https://www.usapopulation.org/san-francisco-population/ https://www.usapopulation.org/san-francisco-population/
