Dane County Covid-19 UPDATE: Daily average of new cases increases 62% during last 2 week of March

 

It might have something to do with testing.  Dane County has less than 10% of the state's population but comprises nearly 20% of its average daily number of tests.  (Trump offered a solution when he tried to wish away the virus in 2020.)

Data from Wisconsin Department of Health Services

Buffalo County has the highest percentage increase among the top 10 counties.

Dane County ranks 2nd on the New York Times Wisconsin Covid hit parade.

Nonetheless, Dane County's daily average of new cases is as low as it's been since early November 2021 and down 97.5% since its January 22 peak.
