What does the double asterix after Douglas County's 14 indicate?

Yes, I am a Jayhawk.

If readers are not familiar with the great state of Kansas, Johnson County is essentially a part of Kansas City & has a high population density.

Ad Astra per Aspera!

Does Kansas not alphabetize its counties? A bit hard to follow, with 105 of them.

No idea why they don't alphabetize, definitely confusing though because I was looking for my county (Pottawatomie) down near the bottom but then realized it's actually toward the top

They're not even geographically contingent; I fail to see why they would do this. Did we outlaw the alphabet?

Comments:
** Some counties will report cases that are presumptive positive at a reference lab, but were not confirmed through the KDHE lab. These numbers are included in the county numbers, but not in the overall state total or demographics at this time.

^ Out-of-State Residence: A resident from out-of-state was confirmed positive by KDHE Lab while in a Kansas County. These positive cases are NOT included in the total Kansas numbers and will be counted in the permanent residencies’ state.

Much better, thanks! 39 out of 105, if I'm counting right. And none in the home county, so far.

This fellow was referred to in the piece above. ('Some local officials in other parts of Kansas have not helped either. Rick Whitson, emergency management director and fire chief of a county to the east of Wellington, drew scorn for a Facebook post denouncing what he called “panicked hysteria” around coronavirus which he said has “been around since the 60s”.')

Last week, Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Rick Whitson warned of “a far more nefarious and evil epidemic out there and it’s called fear and panic!”

“I am not supposed to say this but I must, unless there is a dramatic shift for the worst, (and I doubt it) when this is past we will reflect on it and shake our heads, realizing that it was a ridiculously disproportionate overall response to the threat,” Whitson said in a March 12 post on his public Facebook page that was shared more than 900 times.

His comments drew plenty of praise, but also some sharp criticism.

“As a medical professional it’s appalling to see your posts and how you appear to think you know more than the CDC,” one woman wrote. “I’ll be praying for the citizens of Montgomery County.” (https://www.kansascity.com/news/coronavirus/article241376141.html)​

Boston Corbett that level of ignorance is scary! He should lose his job over that! Definitely not who needs to be in charge or emergency management.

I see that county has four cases, at last count. And also lost one of its two hospitals a few years ago, a real shock for SEK but becoming par for the course in rural KS these days.
