**At the suggestion of a reader of these posts, I will also be combining Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County totals being that is the bulk of Metro Detroit.**
*Combined tri-county area (including Detroit) number of cases confirmed 63,917 which accounts for 51.2% of the cases in the state.
*Combined tri-county area (including Detroit) number of deaths confirmed 4,947 which accounts for 74.1% of the deaths in the state.
*Detroit and Wayne County lead the state with 32,950 cases or 26.4% of the total in the state.
*Detroit and Wayne County account for 2,817 of the deaths in the state which are 42.2% of the current total in the state.
The city of Detroit is in the County of Wayne, so that is why they are combined here.
