In addition to the nation-wide fever numbers, Kinsa tracks numbers by state and county.
Take for example, Forsyth County, GA, due north of Atlanta. The Heat Map shows Forsyth has as many current Atypical Fevers (per capita) as every other county adjacent to Atlanta.
Georgia is not a state in lockdown, and is below normal in testing. Individual counties in GA are in lockdown. This includes South Fulton county which includes Atlanta. It does NOT include the cities of Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Milton which comprise North Fulton county, and Forsyth county north of them.
The Fever Heatmap shows the folly of this situation. Politicians are driving thru the rear-view mirror. Atlanta has the most cases Now. But the heatmap suggests all those location mentioned above have as many people (per capita) actively spreading the disease.
The case could be made that lower population density reduces the need for lockdown. But such an argument needs to be made and supported, not assumed. Currently it is not even addressed.
