Showing coronavirus cases only by county is useless.
Coconino county contains more than 18,000 square miles. You think it's useful to tell me there are cases out there ... somewhere?
Obviously it is not useful at all. Other states show cases by city. Why not Arizona?

I agree. I've posted similar comment re Cochise County. If, for example, positive cases are in the town/city where a person lives and shops rather than 2-3 hours or more away, a person might decide to go into town for groceries once every 2 weeks instead of a couple times a week. We all need to be careful not to spread or contract the virus, but the purpose of data should be to encourage and enable people to make better decisions. Knowing more precisely where positive cases are will help in that respect, but with such vast distances between population centers, disclosing positive cases by county is much less informative than giving case numbers by city/town/general proximity.
