At least I think it is.

Montgomery county has something like 45 times the number of people in the university and one third the number of cases.

Maybe students are being much lax in social separation or not interacting much with others in the county.

But ~200/12000 is a lot bigger than ~70/500000

Agree that the 70 may not include the 200 because of the home address issue.
