Today was our worst day so far in total cases and deaths

To be expected.....

as testing massively expands next week, cases will surge bigly.

Do we by chance know if all deaths had comorbities with it?

So, in one week the mortality rate drops 1/2 and the serious case % to 1/3. Beginning to look like the mortality rate will probably end up a lot less than 1%. Liberals love creating panic/doom and gloom. Couldn’t get it with climate change.

It was also Friday the 13th. Typical medical facility uptick day when they come around.

The big thing that I think will happen as tests are more readily and widely administered is that we will see there are a ton more cases, but the “serious cases” and “death” stats will plummet in relation, likely staying that low.

And to me the most interesting figure:

Total Cases per 1 M Population: 36th (2% vs Italy; 12.2% vs China at 13th place).

My math may be fricked up and statistically misleading, what have you, but it does seem to provide perspective.

You’re spot on. I was hoping they had a per capita column, but the cases per million is good enough for now. Provides perspective on infection rates.

Italy is getting hit hard.

Vatican City 1 case. Can't ever say walls don't work

DJ, Sorry no. I don't have access to that data. I agree it would be VERY helpful.

A couple of important points.

Serious cases / active cases percentage.

Deaths are closed cases.

What constitutes a serious case? As near as I can tell, these are the parameters:

Revised case report form for Confirmed Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 (report to WHO within 48 hours of case identification)



Health Status at time of reporting: Admission to hospital: ? No ? Yes ? Unknown
First date of admission to hospital: [_D_][_D_]/[_M_][_M_]/[_Y_][_Y_][_Y_][_Y_]
If yes Did the case receive care in an intensive care unit (ICU)? ? No ? Yes ? Unknown
Did the case receive ventilation? ? No ? Yes ? Unknown
Did the case receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation? ? No ? Yes ? Unknown
Is case in isolation with Infection Control Practice in place ? No ? Yes ? Unknown
Date of isolation: [_D_][_D_]/[_M_][_M_]/[_Y_][_Y_][_Y_][_Y_]

I’m not sure how they’re tallying new cases. Is that a rolling 24 hours?

As of 11 last night, it was 2466.

I’d guess false initial positives are probably playing havoc with the minutiae of the data as well.

As someone young but with a compromised immune system, I’m eager to know the age of the serious cases
