Total Suspected Reported Statewide: 512

60/100 counties
up from 52/100

This is a change of 92 additional cases from the last update, of cases statewide. That number was 420.

Case number discrepancies are starting to emerge as some of those suspected positive, but proven otherwise, are dropped from the count. I am using the higher numbers until the counts are otherwise adjusted.

Reported range today is from 398 to 512 cases.

Your state should lock it down immediately. The whole country, really.

Good luck to you. Stay safe.
