It cannot be based on the highest number. That would always entitle the largest population centers to get a priority.
That larger population will also have more people that do not mask or social distance. Whereas many other locations that adhere to the guidelines resulting in lower cases are not treated fairly.

The best result will be scientifically based on statistical results.

Setting aside the political and special interest group arm waving will allow the process to be more efficient.
