@Zaimee Is your state mostly rural?

[happycat]

I wish they'd do that in mine.

Our county health director is concerned that this will give people a false sense of security in those ZIP Codes that have lower numbers. In our county, testing has been so limited that the numbers are virtually meaningless, not to mention that they represent days old data. He said the one positive thing this might do is to show people how widespread the virus is.

Florida

My state. did not close beaches for Springbreak.

I live in  Broward County

Fort Lauderdale is in Broward County.

I drove to Miami, 35 miles each way, to teach for many years.

Definetly, not rural.

@Zaimee  Where did all those spring breakers go when spring break was over? I hope they stayed in Fla.

I saw  where they used cell phones pings and tracked those beachers.

The map showed where they went. All over. Many back to NY and NJ .

of course, many from here in Sunny Florida.

Yes, I see we can do this in some states. We could look up this info in my state by county or by major cities.  I don't see how searching by zip code gives us more relevant info?

It does because many counties and cities are large and spread out, so it might be useful to know if there are concentrations within certain specific areas of the counties and cities. One might safely assume there will be some states that resist providing this level of information, but so long as they don't compromise anyone's privacy, they should provide it. While there are some ways in which this 'state by state' management of this problem makes sense, there should be some guidelines all states, and those residing in those states, have to abide by.
