Glenn baker says
Death per 100000 by extrapolation is not an honest number for our much smaller counties. But it make for a more exciting presentation.
Facts serve the public better.
You can do this.
John Griep says
Deaths per 100,000 population was chosen because it is a fairly standard method for calculating death rates. And using 100,000 for the rate is no less factual than using 10,000 or 1,000; it just moves the decimal point.
