A recent study revealed 45% of all US coronavirus deaths occurred in nursing homes. That comes out to over 75,000 Deaths in US Nursing Homes!
What happens to the morality curve when cases and deaths in nursing homes is pulled out of the equation?

It becomes 1.66% if you remove 75K cases from death count.

How the numbers looking for today?
Posted on 8/26/20 at 7:47 pm to TigerMan327
COVID Tracking webpage is jacked, but they did put out the graphs for today on Twatter.
674,792 tests
43,130 cases
38,411 current hospitalizations
1,249 deaths
6.4% positivity
Last week, we were at
689,776 tests
44,953 cases
43,330 current hospitalizations
1,420 deaths
6.5% positivity
So down a few percent on cases, almost 5k hospitalizations, and almost 200 deaths.

Sorry for the late update, Covid Tracking was having some issues tonight.

Appreciate the work.
Also, America should get an award for testing 75 million fricking people. Like ain't nobody else on the planet even touching those numbers.
I think this is the REAL reason we look bad - we're actually testing 20% of the entire population.

of the top like 90 countries in population (I think its the 10 million people or more cut off) the USA is 2nd in per capita testing (barely) only to Russia and will pass them soon for first.

Anyone know the total tests done daily worldwide?
After Mike Pence's speech last night citing 800k tests a day, Jake Tapper commented that "experts" say we need to be doing 5 million tests a day.
It made me wonder, if that's even possible considering the supply chain to make tests and how many 5 million tests would be of the worldwide total.
I'm curious to know if that comment is basically asking the impossible and yet blaming people for not doing something that can't be done.

That number was 500k three months ago. When it was apparent we would hit that it went to 1M. When our testing ramped up, they moved it to 5M.
It’s stupid and there’s no rational support for a 5M figure.
ETA: “experts” means one expert. I am not aware of a consensus on 5M tests needed daily.

Ya, I know it is goal shifting, but it is always good to get the full perspective on a comment like that to provide rebuttals.

The only way I know to figure this number out would be to use World O Meters data and track the total test number movement over a period of days. You could then use the difference between days to calculate a given day's testing volume for every country.
UPDATE: So I did this for Today vs Yesterday using the WOM data. (Today's numbers aren't final so this is not fully correct)
To date, there have been 428M tests performed worldwide. Of those 428M the US has done 78.6M which equates to 18.6% of all testing.
Yesterday's WorldWide total test number was 423,905,668 vs Today's 428,082,991 which means worldwide there were 4,177,323 administered in one day. The 7 day rolling average for tests in the US is 683,579. That means the US is doing 16.36% of the worldwide testing daily.
Keep in mind that the US is 4.5% of the world's population.

Our World in Data has a Daily COVID-19 spreadsheet that is not updated as quickly as WOM.
For example, only 6 countries have data for yesterday. For Aug. 25, OWiD has 1,586,448 tests. The US is roughly half of that figure. For their data from Aug. 21 to Aug. 25 such as it is, the US accounts for 30-50% of total daily tests. Just choosing an earlier date at random, the US had 24% of the daily tests on Aug. 16.

Chrome, do you know if WOM is reporting tests administered or tests reported? It would have to be reported, right?

Also, OWiD has only 294 million total tests administered. Wonder why the discrepancy.

Sorry, I don't know. I can't find anything discussing it on their website either.
I can't imagine it's not tests reported, but I can't confirm that.

I got my number by copying and pasting the WOM data table into excel and totaling up the Total Tests Column.
The accuracy of this method is questionable.

Sounds like as I intuitively suspected, the number Tapper threw out is greater than the average the whole world is doing a day. 
Posted on 8/27/20 at 6:28 pm to Teddy Ruxpin
Cases slightly up WoW, deaths roughly flat because of big numbers from Cali and TX.
