Cases per Week
August 10, 2020 > 91-DIVOC-02: "COVID-19 Data for Locations of People You Love"
In the original release of 91-DIVOC #02: “COVID-19 Data for Locations of People You Love”, the number of new cases were represented by a percentage increase over the past week. As COVID-19 has continued, this one-week metric is less and less relevant and has been replaced with population-normalized statistics to allow a better perspective on COVID-19 in various locations:
- Added a new line showing the number of cases /100k people in each location. For example:
- Champaign, Illinois has “+59.61 new cases /100,000 people in the past week (+125)”
- New York City that has “+25.3 new cases /100,000 people in the past week (+2109)”
