Glad to see daily reporting resumed.
But the following would be more helpful:
1. New Talbot cases by day (+ or – from prior day)
2. Talbot hospitalizations by day (+ or – from prior day)

Thanks so much for providing this information. It seems like now is as an important time as ever to share this news. Please forgive my ignorance, but when perusing your top graph, under the heading of total cases, what does that mean? Is that a total number since the Covid outbreak started two years ago? Or is it for this recent uptick? The same with deaths – is that the grand total or does it get broken down further?
I’m sure each county would like you to break it down but it would be very helpful to know the number of cases changed on a daily basis in Talbot County (=Talbot Spy) as well as the number of hospitalizations in Easton. Thank you in advance for entertaining my suggestions.

Would you please add Wicomico County to your list. Would appreciate it.
