San Francisco has so far had by far the best Covid health outcomes of any major US city. If the US on the whole were doing as well as SF, there would be at least 200,000 fewer deaths than there have been.

I really hope SF can keep it that way. The recent trend is pretty scary, but if we all hunker down for the next month or two, we can still turn it around.

SF has had 30% of the deaths per 100K as the US average? That is shockingly good and worthy of deeper study if true.

Less than that. SF has had about 20.5 confirmed Covid deaths / 100k so far.

The USA overall has had about 86 confirmed Covid deaths / 100k.

And the USA total is likely a more significant underestimate than the SF total, as there are many places where there has been an abnormal spike of “pneumonia”, “stroke”, etc. deaths never attributed to Covid.

Does SF has similar age demographics to the rest of the US?
