Covid and Bon Air: It really appears to be here.




 

I ran into this graph at https://covid-19-in-jefferson-county-ky-lojic.hub.arcgis.com/   

I was wondering about what the Bon Air angle was  in terms of the incidence rates of the Coronavirus around us.  The most I could narrow it down to was zip code. on this map. Bon Air is split between 40218 and 40220.  

It is interesting that out of the population of 31, 658 in the 40218 zip code there have been 1386  cases and that out of the population of 33109 in the 40220 zip code there have been 1128  cases..  In simple math 4.37 percent of the 40218 zip code residents have tested positive and .3.4 percent of the residents in the 40220.  Now, in epidemiological reporting style the site reports it in terms of cases per 100,000 which makes the nine-tenths of a person (3406.9) a little obtuse. 

 Out of the bigger picture in Jefferson County on this particular web-page, there have been 33,989 cases. as of the latest information on this website and that means 7.3965 per cent of the cases in Jefferson County have come from 40218 and 40220. As you can perhaps tell from the map, Covid is not evenly spread throughout the metro. The Bon Air area is not in the highest area, but it is not in the lowest either.  

Covid is very real in the Bon Air Neighborhood.
