    On June 9th Gossips reported that Columbia County's "37th resident that has passed away from COVID-19."

    Zero deaths in two months is newsworthy.

    I can't claim to follow this closely, but it seems the key metric here--vis a vis openings and re=openings--is infection rate per 100,000. (see Arrive https://nyti.ms/2C93aPd ) Does anyone know the Columbia County or Hudson rate?
