The more testing the better
Yes. But it is driving home how fast it’s spreading. These are symptomatic cases where the tests are coming back. So there’s a lag time there. Someone I know got tested on Saturday and they’re expecting a positive for the virus back per the doc. But they were waiting on the results as of yesterday.

Spain and Italy are getting crushed... our infection rate vs 1 million is impressively low

We will be catching up. The number to watch now is deaths. When we get a couple weeks out, we’ll see how mitigation has gone a little more clearly.

We just got our infrastructure for mass testing up and running. This will change drastically in the next couple of days unfortunately. If you read you local state health department updates you will see each state as several hundred testing kits “pending.” I like that our “positive” rates are slowing down. That’s a percentage and not a total. It’s an optimist sign we our slowing this thing.

We’re insulated by population density, early travel bans, and having above average cultural health standards. Also, we have the best medical care in the world, so the death rate will naturally be lower as well.
Still, it’s good that the virus doesn’t have an H1N1 mortality rate, or we’d have Katrina things happening all over the country.

What happened to the %growth per day chart?

The US also has FIVE times the population of Italy. So while the raw number of cases look the same, the proportional number of cases in the US is unbelievably small
We are fortunate in the US that we were able to identify the people who "imported" the virus while Italy had trouble tracking them down before community spread went wild.

Updated again, added a couple of new graphs
These are not final numbers for today.

The Growth Rate Charts really aren't accurate until the end of the day when the final numbers for the day are in.

How much of the continuing uptick in numbers of cases can be attributed to more testing, versus actual increases in the disease spread? Not a gotcha question. Really wondering out loud.
Posted on 3/17/20 at 1:09 pm to Chromdome35
Can you add the cases/MM pop rate?
Posted on 3/17/20 at 1:18 pm to JawjaTigah
I’d guess symptoms + some social history (travel or contact) is driving the testing still. So it’s probably a good portion the spread of the disease.
But with the greater spread, it’s probably easier to qualify for testing because there’s a greater likelihood that you’re exposed.

our institution is basically all clinical criteria now, a complete 180 from just a week ago.
symptoms -> social history -> test
or
symptoms -> flu rule out -> physicals signs (imaging) -> test

Good.

we're about to have to write a policy on what to do with people who saw these patients first
right now, ID wants the ER doc/nurse who initially saw the patient to sit home for 14 days
thats about to be operationally impossible

We were toying with something like that. But it’s over with about the fifth patient. And what happens while waiting for testing turnaround?
My daughter is working in the clinic at med school and her classmates were freaking out about potentially seeing positive patients. I told her to tell them to all drop out of med school. She didn’t, sadly.

I keep telling some of my coworkers we signed on for this, we accept the risk. its part of healthcare and our duty
I take my temp before I go to work and when I get home every day

Curious, is that person symptomatic and what is their severity?

Since I know there are many in the field who post in these threads and with whom I have had friendly arguments with at times, so I just want to say:
You guys and gals are beasts. Legendary health care providers that are the envy of the planet.
