You do you.
But I’m curious why you would choose state-level statistics versus county level. And why absolute numbers versus rates per populace. Or are they not available where you are?
In my state the statewide case rate number is 34 active cases per 100K population. But the county rates vary between 10 and 50 cases per 100K depending on which county.
If I was concerned about catching it, I’d be a lot more worried if I lived in a 50/100K county than in a 10/100K county.
