    Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

I believe very strongly in this.  I see 30–40 patients a day over 3-4 facilities/hospitals a day for direct care.  I likely had this midFeb before precautions were wide spread.  It would have been spreading all over like I initially mentioned. Repeating with this article.  I know, ‘South China Morning Post‘?  Sorry.  

I’m sitting here right now watching a webinar on the tax implications of the CARES Act for CPE credit. I’m amazed that this country can’t produce enough masks to protect first line responders, but can produce, publicize, and distribute this In three days.

The Empire State Building is actually in Manhattan, and if I'm not mistaken, I seem to remember that we have a Surly poster who lives in Manhattan.

Yeah, but did she say which part of the island?  She could be from Marble Hill for all you know

It does not, I'm fairly certain.  And agree with you that it sucks. 

That's kinda fucked up. As antibody testing expands, we will uncover more and more people who were exposed but never tested positive in the active phase. As that percentage grows, that could be a significant portion of the population that A) recovered and should be counted as such and B) no longer at risk and should be factored into the models being used. To ignore this data is absurd.

I'm hoping labs will be able to report this data at some point...because individual labs have it now - they just don't have somewhere to report it to. 

Have Andrew Cuomo's nipple bars been discussed? I feel like they should be discussed.

Its amazing that NY/NJ is such an outlier hotzone for both cases and deaths.  the confirmed case/death rates are higher elsewhere but NY/NJ is crazy as an overall total.  You would think you would see something similar in Illinois/Chicago by now.

I wonder if Michigan's blow up would be traceable after this is over.

Haven't they been testing larger numbers for longer?   Death Rates may look higher in some other places because only the sickest people were (are) getting tested.   The confirmed case count is really just starting to jump in a lot of places as testing criteria is expanded.   I think it's more likely that NY/NJ did see a more rapid spread (hence higher deaths) but also have been testing more and are catching more mild cases than other locations.

They are testing more, and that partially explains the comparatively large number of cases.  But those two states account for more than half the deaths in the country.  CA has 184.  NY/NJ has 2300.

Its just a lot worse there than anywhere else and not because they are testing more.

March summary of Covid-19:

World

3/1/2020

Confirmed cases - 88,585

Deaths - 3,050 

CFR - 3.4%

3/31/2020

Confirmed cases - 858,355

Deaths - 42,309

CFR - 4.9%

 

United States

3/1/2020

Confirmed cases - 75

Deaths - 1

CFR - 1.3%

3/31/2020

Confirmed cases - 188,530

Deaths - 4,053

CFR - 2.1%

 

So if China’s true numbers were in these world totals they would be probably double?

Seems like the climate argument is not that valid. This is the equator so never gets cold. Never.... Reuter reporting. 

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador/QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuadorean authorities said on Monday they would improve the collection of corpses, as delays related to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus has left families keeping their loved ones’ bodies in their homes for days in some cases.

Residents of Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, have complained they have no way to dispose of relatives’ remains due to strict quarantine and curfew measures designed to prevent spread of the disease. Last week, authorities said they had removed 100 corpses from homes in Guayaquil.

You could try here: https://covidtracking.com/data

It is a multi-partner approach that has as much info as they can gather. They don't have info from some states.

 

interesting and thanks.  so approx 18% positive rate from test and about 14% of those hospitalize.  fatality is about 14% of hospitalizations.

I know the testing criteria means its not a random sample and the positive rate would be lower for a random sample but for talking purposes

test 100M(random sample/worst case), 18M positive, 2.5M hospitalize  = 350K fatalities

Back to your reading comprehension.

You and Greenspoint are pretty much the only ones giving oxygen to his always contrarian flame. He doesn't care about the argument he only cares about rustling jimmies(no pun intended). Put him on ignore and move on with life.

this is why I think the number that will eventually have had this is going to be close to 100M

At the this point I don't really trust anyone's case totals or deaths.

Everyone already knew China and Iran were lying, but after hearing Italy is not including nursing home deaths in their death totals I've lost faith we're getting accurate information from anywhere.

There's no telling how many deaths around the globe have occurred due to Covid-19 that aren't included in any of the data.

And of course the number of infected absolutely dwarfs the number of confirmed cases.

And before anyone says that's great because that means the CFR is actually sooper dooper low, remember the magic of exponential growth.  The vast majority of infected have only recently become so.

Hopefully the curve has been flattened, though.  Unfortunately, I still think April's data is going to make March look tame in comparison.
