Nope, because Covid is spread by people, the proper metric is density. Too bad we do not have stats by density of population. Look at New York, if you want to look at a smaller geographic area, for example.
I understand it is hard to accept that this beautiful country is suffering to this extent, and I have every hope that the vaccine will help. It depends on many people’s attitude to what extent and how soon we will recover.
