NEWS on COVID-19 in Kansas: https://www.kansas.com/news/coronavirus/article248022110.html
Kansas had the worst county in the United States for COVID-19 deaths per capita last week.
It also had the second-worst. And the fourth-worst. And the fifth-worst.
And seven of the top 10 deadliest counties compared to population.
The rankings are from coronavirus pandemic data released Sunday by the White House COVID-19 Task Force. Its death data was for the period of Dec. 13-19.
Edwards County, which topped the list, had eight deaths over the previous seven days, equated to 285.9 deaths per 100,000 people. Sheridan County was second, with seven deaths equating to 277.7 per 100,000.
Calculating rates per 100,000 people is common in public health as it helps compare the level of spread among communities of different sizes.
Logan and Rush counties were also in the top five, while Stanton, Wichita and Ottawa counties made the top 10.
Kansas, which has 105 counties, placed 27 counties in the top 100 deadliest counties in the United States. The database contains 3,220 counties and county-equivalents, including U.S. territories. Approximately two-third of counties in the country reported at least one death in the last week.
The additional Kansas counties in the top 100 were Comanche, Trego, Morris, Ford, Nemaha, Greeley, Cowley, Morton, Wabaunsee, Wallace, Woodson, Pawnee, Allen, Brown, Gray, Stafford, Montgomery, Marshall, Kiowa and Graham.
Sedgwick County ranked No. 1,209. Its 37 deaths equated to 7.2 per 100,000. The number may be under-counted as the database used Sedgwick County Health Department figures, which are substantially lower than what the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reports for Sedgwick County.
