We fit the model to cumulative COVID-19 test and case count data through August 16, 2020 in the US state of Indiana, broken down by race and county (further data details in Appendix A). (2018) proposes a version of the threshold test which incorporates population information, but makes use of only the proportion rather than the absolute population of each race group in each location: eg, the population information provided to their model is that "in County X, 40% of people are Hispanic, 20% are white, and 40% are Black". 3 We infer county-specific COVID-19 testing thresholds for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic populations. ./cache/cord-155530-fz9l7rc7.txt ./txt/cord-155530-fz9l7rc7.txt
