I have noticed on the infection2020.com web site that Mahoning county Ohio [View all]

with a population of 229,642 has 375 cases of COVID-19 and 31 deaths. Mahoning county has more COVID-19 cases and deaths
per capata than any county in Ohio. They have more than the more urban counties like Cuyahoga (Cleveland), Franklin (Columbus)
or Hamilton (Cincinnati). Has there been any explanation why there is so many cases in that area? That is almost an 8.3% casualty rate.
