**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 deaths confirmed 4,505 which accounts for 76.1% of the deaths in the state.

*Detroit and Wayne County account for 2,592 of the deaths in the state which are 43.8% 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.
