How come Louisiana doesn’t report recoveries? How many other states do not?
It seems like this may be skewing the active case count.

I assume he wasn’t smart enough to know why it was so high initially then went down

Another overall positive day. Daily new cases and fatalities both dropped vs yesterday and continue to indicate flattening.
As far as number of tests administered is concerned, I’m seeing daily ranges between 229,287-122,601 this week. Variances day to day seem to range 15-25% up or down. I’m not sure I’d consider this to be flat.

The mistake you are making is expecting an even number of people going to the doctor for an illness daily. It doesn't work that way. Many cities have literally closed their testing centers since people never showed up nor needed it.
The testing centers that are active are pretty rare around the country.
People freaked out and this was a complete overblown power grab that is destorying poor families.

Sorry, my point wasn’t clear. I’m saying that the daily tests administered number is jumping up and down every day (which is to be expected for something like this). Meaning it doesn’t seem to be creating an artificial ceiling for new cases.
Since only symptomatic people get tested, the number of tests administered should not be seen as keeping the daily new case count down. People who don’t show symptoms aren’t getting tested, as there is no need.

Correct. There is no ceiling by the testing being done.
In another month we will have a lot of testing ability out there that it just starts to flood the market and testing starts to become a preventive measure than a confirmation. Meaning, testing athletes every day (along with body temp checks) to catch any changes before a break out happens.

They don't track it. A while ago, the "state doctor" was with the parish president in Lafayette. He said in a presser that they consider a recovery when you've gone 72 hours without meds or symptoms. But that they can't track those at home in quarantine who tested positive.
Um, I would think that they could "try"?? But he said no. I'm guessing they track the hospital discharges but don't know that for fact.

Tracking recoveries is a waste of time and resources, and it saves no one. Those resources are better spent tracking new cases.

From the worldometer site:
Total cases: 533,115
Recoveries: 30,502
Deaths: 20,580
Serious/critical cases: 11,471
Mild cases: 470,562
Considering we have tested over a million people in the last week and there are only 11k serious/critical cases things are looking great.
If we could just convince the sheep that 1k-2k deaths/day of old, fat diabetics is no big deal. For perspective, 1500+ die each day from cancer and 1500+ die each day from heart attacks.

For today I am crossing the fingers that we hit just below 30k confirmed cases. If we do hit 30k, I am hoping it doesn't surpass 32k.
If we hit below 30k today it starts the gradual decline in new confirmed cases, but that is going to eb and flow with some high days and some lower days.

That US military number is interesting. You have to think testing availability is far higher among that population, itself a cross-section of Americans. It being so close to the mortality rate found in the German study (0.37%) makes me wonder if the military mortality rate could be a useful proxy for the US until other studies are complete.

Fair point, but I’d also imagine the military demographic is far healthier than the general population so that could explain the lower death rate too.

Unfortunately we've already seen that weekend numbers are spotty at best and seem to come back around Tuesday or Wednesday. Also, it's Easter Sunday...do you think that will affect testing reports?

Younger and not so many fatties like general population.

It undoubtedly will. Somewhat counterintuitively, however, that may make Thursday and Friday slightly larger than normal. Because we’re dealing with throughput in testing somewhat more than actual tests, we may see a lower average across Thursday to Tuesday with Thursday and Friday being the high(er) points.
I would guess there was a push to get as much testing out the door on those days in anticipation of some people not working the weekend.
And, that could all be wrong and we’ll see just wild fluctuations like we see every weekend.

My state has a total of 263 tests that need to be processed as of this morning. This shite is almost over in my state.
Posted on 4/12/20 at 10:02 am to uppermidwestbama
There are 179 in the ICU across the entire state that have COVID19 so the eventual death of those will lead to the freaks freaking out and acting like the end of the world is here.

You could see as high as 50% of those recover.
One of the Kansas City hospitals is playing the theme to Rocky whenever a recovered Covid patient discharges.

California hasn't updated anything in their public database since Friday around lunch. So who knows how many tests they have pending this morning.
