COPD Asthma COVID-19

COVID-19 cases per 100k all-time are shown for majority desert counties. We computed COVID-19 cases per 100k all-time by averaging 7-day trailing averages for each county over the entire course of the pandemic based on data published by The New York Times. Exactly four desert counties are not depicted in this chart due to missing data: Chugach Census Area, AK (FIPS 02063), Yakutat, AK (FIPS 02282), Prowers, CO (FIPS 08099), and Wallace, KS (FIPS 20199). A majority desert county is a county with over 50% of its population living at least 1-hour driving distance away from the nearest pulmonologist. Legend scale is based on quartile ranges for national prevalences.
