Hmm. Are you talking about the last chart in the post 8 above yours? The CFR chart? I didn't see where anyone put a label on it, but in stocks you might call it a teacup pattern, and in engineering you might call it a bathtub.

But I don't think you can draw any conclusions based on the shape of that plot because it is a function of two variables over time. Both variables can only ever increase, but one drags the plot up and the other drags the plot down. The shape mainly depends on how aggressive we are at counting each of the variables.


Edit: Thinking about it more, since CFR is really a measure of outcomes, the data should really be plotted only after the case has an outcome. In other words, instead of plotting deaths / cases, it might be more meaningful to plot deaths / (deaths + recoveries). And "recoveries" should include asymptomatic cases, assuming it's even possible to get a reliable number for those.

Yes that one — it sort of does look like a teacup.

because of the deaths being added to the 14th and 15th
Weren't they all added to the 14th, and on the 15th they just began adding the probables to their regular daily totals?

you may want to get a moving median or a trimmed average (e.g., exclude highest and lowest days, then average of 5 remaining days) until (if) those deaths are properly distributed to their correct days.

Or maybe we can add an adjustments column to the spreadsheet to estimate the distribution?

Put a negative adjustment of 3,778 on April 14th, then put a positive adjustment of 3,778 * ( day_x_deaths / mar_11-apr_14_total_deaths) on each day from March 11 through April 14. Just dividing up those extra deaths proportionally according to each day's death total.

We've reached the 1/1000% of the population dead piont.

Must be why the piles of dead bodies on my street have gotten so high...

The "US Mortality Rate" chart should be titled "US Mortality Rate of Reported Cases".

Too many people are jumping to the conclusion that this is the mortality rate of the entire US population that is infected with COVID. We don't know that number. However we can logically imply that the number is pretty big, i.e., making the denominator much bigger based on an R0 value for COVID of 5.7. That's almost 4 times more infectious than influenza. I don't believe it is too much of a logical stretch to imply that a more infectious virus with a higher R0 number has infected more people than a virus with a lesser R0 number.

I totally agree that the observed mortality rate is grossly inflated. I did a simple reverse calculation to determine mortality based on the % of tests that are coming back positive. I ran it including and excluding NY data.

Small sample yes but here’s some encouraging numbers from Metro Nashville.

Wednesday’s numbers in Nashville.

Total cases: 1,492
Recovered: 324
Deaths: 17
Total active cases: 1,151

Thursday’s numbers:

Total cases: 1,560
RECOVERED: 677 (up 353 from Wednesday)
Deaths: 18
Total active cases: 865 (down 286 from Thursday)

Today’s numbers:

Total cases: 1,597 (up 37)
Recovered: 825 (up 148)
Deaths: 20 (up 2)
Active cases: 752 (down 113)

Recovered cases now represent more than half of the total cases in Nashville. Recoveries outpaced new cases by a 4-1 clip.

Probably stayed on this thread before, but I think recoveries are being far understated nationwide.

The nursing home where I do contract work -- I checked the iso unit this via EMR and we now have 12 positive cases. 12 of 79 residens. Last night I posted that it was 9 - evidently some results were returned/called in during the night shift.

Two are now in the hospital -- one just refuses to keep his oxygen on and as he was a full code, our staff felt better with him being in the hospital. The other was in the hospital (not sure what his circumstances were) after his test but before his results came back.

15% of our residents are positive. A couple I'm thinking from what I can read about their condition won't make it.

It’s probably going to get worse. You’re at the point that you’re likely going to hit a 50% infection rate based on other homes I’ve seen.

bass it looks like they're testing left and right. One temp above their normal range and you're getting swabbed. Which I'm fine with.

No one other than employees, xray tech, lab person has been allowed in since March 11. Not sure how deliveries are handled -- I just know they received 4 pallets on Wednesday of supplies. And I'm assuming that the vending machine people aren't coming to refill those.

I was able to find thermometers that they needed and got those to them -- just wish I could do more.

You’re not an anomaly, unfortunately.

I was listening to a presentation from a local county executive in Missouri. They had 90-some cases and he indicated that over half of them were “confined.” That’s pretty much SNFs and prisons. And I’m guessing mostly SNF.

We’ll probably see that over 15% of infections were tied to senior living.

This is the link to the US state level tracker that I have shared via Google Drive. Chromdome's State Level COVID-19 Daily Tracker
This is the link to the COVID-19 Country tracker that I have shared on Google Drive. Chromdome's COVID-19 Daily Tracker

The source for the data is https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
The source for the testing data is from https://covidtracking.com/data/

NOTE: The daily growth rate data will not be accurate until the end of the day's postings. It will change throughout the day.
NOTE: I am not a mathematician, statistics guru, scientist, sharpest tack in the box, I'm just a guy who likes to understand for myself what is happening and to share it with others. This thread was not created to debate if you should or shouldn't take this seriously, it is simply to present the numbers and foster conversation.

I have adjusted the 7 day rolling average formula to omit the cases & death values from the 14th and 15th.

The rolling averages will continue to omit these values until we're 7 days past them in the models.

For the 14th: Based on previous 6 days (8th - 13th)
For the 15th: Based on the previous 5 days before the 14th (9th - 13th)
For the 16th: Based on the average of the 16th, 13th, 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th and 8th.
For the 17th: Based on the average of the 17th, 16th, 13th, 12th, 11th, 10th, and 9th.
