Mississippi to be next


Doubt it. They've been pretty solid. Not high, not low.
I'd guess Oregon and Washington. They've been pretty unscathed.

Oregon and Washington were the first states hit. It makes me wonder if it was spreading there rapidly long before mass testing and they have some level of immunity there.

So roughly 23,500 negative tests were backlogged from months ago....


fightin tigers, you see how that’s bullshite? They can be using “percent positive” daily numbers to keep us locked up, but those numbers are based on thousands of negatives being missing

Are we assuming every negative is a different person? Just like we are supposed to assume every positive is a different person?

I applaud you for the work you've put in to create and maintain the spreadsheet you update everyday. Thanks a bunch!

I just wish there was an additional column in the "Cases" box that says "Backlog" which would allow you to input the amount of backlogged new cases and keep a separate column for the actual new cases for that day.

So, for today for example, you would have 1,741 in the backlog column for 8/4 and 1,874 for new cases today.

Thanks again for your work.

This really is a valid data question.

Duplicate negatives should be excluded if duplicate positives are.


But...that may get messy. Someone testing negative in April, then testing positive in June should both be counted, no? Does the duplicate issue only come into play with successive testing when trying to "clear" a case?

It suggests T Cell immunity which would be awesome. Basically meaning that some people have a built in version of immunity simly by having suffered from colds (coronavirus) in the past. The body is able to recognize covid 19 as being a part of the coronavirus family and although not exactly the same the body is effective against fighting it off without infection

This means that the infection rate for herd immunity would be significantly lower something like 20%-30% as opposed to 50% or 60% or 70%

There is a possiblity that NY reached herd immunity with an infection rate as low as 20% because of T cell immunity

Lafayette parish with 21,000 tests reported today - there’s where your backlog was.


Actually, looks heavily concentrated in Region 4 - Every Parish in Region 4 (Acadiana) showing an unusual number of tests today.

The rest (that I've checked) haven't shown anything out of the ordinary.

I want to know where do you find the 23,500 number so I know how to sparse out this backlog shite in the future?

I like how they put the "mask mandate" line on all the graphs.

"Look...proof it worked! Cases peaked the EXACT DAY we put the mandate in effect."

"Yeah, but what about the time lag between exposure to infection to testing? Which would mean the people testing positive on and around the peak were exposed a week or so before the mask mandate went into effect which would not have had any bearing on the peak..."

"Nonsense! MASKS!!!!"

Oregon only at 78 deaths/million.
Washington at 211/million.

I realize pretty healthy states. But, California is at 241/million and still not cleared their peak.

The whole West Coast went hardcore lockdown. It wouldn't surprise me if they're next.
Especially Oregon. 78/million is too good to be true for a state with some largish population centers.
