Wisconsin COVID-19 statistics question [View all]

My County (Lincoln) is one of a handful that does not have an ICU bed. So far, we haven't had any positive testings either.

If someone tests positive and (God forbid) needs critical care, they'll probably be moved to a hospital in a better equipped County.

Suppose (another God forbid here) they die there.

In which County would they be listed as a fatality - their home County, or the one in which they died?

Logic demands they'd be listed as a fatality of their home County, but I'm not sure if logic is what's used to figure the statistics.
