Making sense of Belknap County
In Belknap county the known total number of confirmed cases is 18. The towns of Barnstead, Center Harbor and Sanbornton have no confirmed cases. No town in the county has more than four confirmed cases. Given:
1. There are 18 confirmed cases in the Belknap County.
2. Three towns have no cases.
3. No town has more than 4 cases.
If one assumes Laconia which has about 25% of the population has four cases (an assumption without basis) And…
If the remaining cases are spread among the other seven towns based on population…
Then it is possible to construct a chart to show what coronavirus distribution might look like in Belknap County.
This would match the most current NHDHHS coronavirus map.
