That really only works if we are testing the entire population, or even the same percentage of folks across the state. In Sumter county they have tested a significantly higher percentage of the people than they have in either Broward or Miami Dade. On a per capita basis we have tested 3 times the number they have tested in Orange County. The more tests, the more cases.
