Overall, Michigan is third in the nation in terms of total deaths behind New York and New Jersey. That’s well ahead of states with higher populations, including California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and Ohio.

Only five states in the country have more deaths than Wayne County’s 760, which includes 395 in Detroit.

Metro Detroit’s Oakland County (347) has more deaths than all but 13 states and Macomb County (240) more than all but 17 states.

One of the reasons Michigan’s 6 percent is high is likely tied to its relative lack of testing.

As of Sunday, the state had completed nearly 800 tests for every 100,000 people, a total of 79,437.

Of the 10 states with high rates of infection and deaths, only California (just under 500 tests per 100,000) had fewer tests than Michigan.

New York had conducted over 460,000 tests as of Sunday, about 2,400 tests per 100,000 people, or nearly triple Michigan’s rate.
