This is the link to the COVID-19 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/

On the tracker sheet you will see tabs for the following data:
1) US Summary
2) Country Comparables: This shows you how the US stacks up vs. select other countries dealing with COVID-19
3) Italy Summary
4) UK Summary
5) France Summary
6) Germany Summary
7) US Weighted Averages - Explores 7 day vs 3 day weight average trends
8) Predictive Model - A simple predictive model that shows where the numbers will be in the future if growth rates don't change
9) Logarithmic Comparisons - Shows the US vs the other countries on the tracker.
10) Sweden Summary

If you would like a graph created that I don't have, just ask and if it's possible I will create it for you.

Due to space constraints on the PT board, I'm only posting a few graphs in the thread, if a consensus emerges of what graphs the PT wants to see in thread without having to go to the tracker, I will gladly change them up.

I am working to create a sheet that compares the US metrics to the other countries metrics. I'll let you all know when that's done and available.

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 tracking individual states, I don't have a reliable consistent source for that data.
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.

For your example, isn’t it usual wt (250) - actual wt (270) / usual wt to determine %change??


well, it's a 20lbs weight gain in 1 day, no matter how you write it. The question is: What % of yesterday's weight, did you gain?

That's what I'm trying to keep up with, the percentage of change each day, from the previous day, so I can maybe see a trend.

On the twentieth, we had about the same number of total cases as we had new cases yesterday.

Augie, In my linked sheet, there is a tab called weighted averages. On there I show a 3 and 7 day weighted average of the growth rate in cases and deaths. The graphs show the declines you are talking about.

Cases


Deaths

1 week ago might as well be a year ago for this thing.

Especially as we've had Americans spreading this locally, probably since Christmas or shortly afterwards, flaring out significantly in February.

Can someone please explain how a person can possibly gain 20 lbs in a single day?

Thank you.

Check this out, It was linked on Drudge.

This shows the movement of the cell phones from the spring breakers on one beach in Ft. Lauderdale after they left.

Very interesting

Augie, also check out the predictive model tab. It's a simple model, but it's doing fairly good at predicting the # of cases.

Yesterday it was 99.4% accurate on # cases and 94.6% accurate on deaths.

It says that at the end of today we should have 107K cases and 1,539 Deaths.

They are predicting only 244 deaths for today. That will be a serious drop from the 3 day average. That's great.

Yea...you are right. Like I said this model is simple. I have to adjust it every few days for the growth and mortality rates.

The Predicted deaths for the day are calculated by taking the predicted cases for the day (107K) and applying the Mortality rate of (1.43%) in the model, it's pretty basic.

The daily death rate is way more unpredictable than the spread rate correct?

The death rate is based on the number of deaths / number of cases to date.

So far that works out to 1.48% to date. So if we have 100K deaths we should have 1,480 deaths, pretty simple math.

Now we know the number of cases is WAY undercounted at the moment, so the actual mortality rate is lower than the 1.48%, but until this is over and they have time to breakdown all the data (some of which they don't even have yet) we won't really know what the true mortality rate of COVID-19 is. So until that time we just have the current mortality rate to go off of.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a chance we have already bent the curve? The difference between total cases reported and total active cases is only 4,000. I assume shortly we will begin to see a large number of the currently active cases begin to rapidly drop as the discharge rate increases due to simple letting the virus run its course.

In other words, if we continue at a 20,000/30,000 per day in new cases, but start to experience a 5,000/10,000 per day drop in active cases as people are discharged, won't the curve begin to bend? In other words, the curve cant bend until the incubation period runs its course on the first round of those diagnosed.

Looks like the curve is starting to bend.

I thought the mortality rate would be below 1 by the middle of this last week. :-(
