re: 11 day difference between Italy and the US

Our ICU has been constantly filled for months, while holding multiple patients in ER waiting for an ICU opening. The story is the same at the area hospitals we talk to...

This is the real issue in my mind.
Lots of ICU beds are great, but stacking patients has limits.

Would be great if we could update this daily.

We have what 300 million more people as well, those numbers are a positive

Update today (Saturday 3-14): United States is over 2600 patients. Kinda crazy how close it tracks to Italy so far.

We have 260 million more people than Italy. Seems we are running lower.

We also have a larger spread, has to come into it.

Yeah both of you are correct. We have a larger population so our percentages of Covid per capita so to speak are not as bad. But we also are more spread out over a landmass. Im just saying that it seems kinda crazy how closely the overall numbers track. What it means overall, who can say yet.

Yeah, our per capita rate is about 1/5th Italy's.
And now that testing is really ramping up, our symptomatic testing results are coming back 98, 99 percent negative, so we will much more likely have a more S. Korean outcome than Italy.
Still early to spike the football, but so far, so good. If deaths spike and stay high in 3 to 5 days, we would have trouble.
More likely we will get mini spikes and valleys and a low, level steady state through the end of the month. And then the "faux flu" should be realized.

Watch the hotspots concetrated in cities. That's where the comparison comes into play.

Why didn’t you put population percentages on that graph?
Posted on 3/14/20 at 8:29 pm to BZ504
That fact that this question keeps getting asked is alarming. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works

I think you meant to post this in the policave.

A better metric would be #of tests given vs Italy.

Nope, I meant to post it right where I posted it....
Thanks for reading tho...

Why is this expressed in absolute numbers? Useless.
Posted on 3/14/20 at 9:29 pm to Mahootney
I don’t know about the veracity of the numbers, but I do know the fatality counts are so where near aligned and for this part that’s what matters
