The articles posted here regularly with data about Covid in the county provide very little useful information. This story, for example, has
"As of Wednesday, Santa Clara County's seven-day rolling average was 3,699 infections,
down from previous weeks. To date, 1,976 people have died from COVID-19 in the county."
So "down from previous weeks" -- how much down? - 1%? 10%? 80%?
And, "1,976 have died" -- what's the current death rate and how has that recently changed?
