I wish I understood the working of the greater minds at the CDC. According to the release, Curacao has recorded 130 new cases of Covid-19 in the last 30 days. That is 4.3 new cases/day.
Some simple back of the envelope math: approx. population of Curacao 164,000
4.3/164,000 = 0.0026%
Applying this to my home state of Oregon, approx population = 4,218,000
0.0026% * 4,218,000 = 108 cases/day. The current rate is a little more than twice that
If our state's daily infection rate ever hit that number, they would be doing handsprings. So what am I missing?
