More likely the result of cover-yer-butt lawyering.
Flu: Cases up again in Ohio and Kentucky, with more tough weeks to come
I am in Vietnam. A nation with SOLID support of public education.
Vietnam, has had its entire public education system shut down, for this entire situation.
Just saying.
COVID-19 Update As of 03/09/2020 23:53 PST
These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally
This format allows you to see trends. I'll continue to use it.

03/09 114,452 4,026 64,169 68,195 46,257
It's not that easy to spot the changes in daily growth.03/03: 2,223 03/04: 2,265 03/05: 2,962 03/06: 3,801 03/07: 3,977 03/08: 3,876 03/09: 4,411That's a rather pronounced growth rate. These are just the declared cases
The last column there shows the numbers of active cases. You will note how
they were dropping, then started increasing again. Here are the last five days
drop & then growth numbers.
03/03: -494 03/04: -532 03/05: 823 03/06: 1,745 03/07: 1,298 03/08: 1,610 03/09: 2,041Resolved cases are still helping to soften the massive numbers of new cases
We have hot spots around the world, and instead of one or two of them, we now
have upwards of seven far above, or moving above the 1,000 case level in the
next day or two.
It has been my take that once you go above a few hundred you were close to out
of control. Some nations seem to have found a way to stop the growth, but you
have to wonder if they actually did, or are holding back on reporting.
I will touch on break out nations again lower in this report.
As predicted, the mortality rate that went as low as 5.65% on the 27th, has now
begun to climb again. As of 03/09 it is running at 5.90%. It grew 0.09% on
the 9th, and 0.16% on the day before that.
We are still running a very large report of new cases per day. So far new cases
present new deaths, and a track toward recovery for most folks. Unfortunately
when it comes to the mortality rate, the deaths are report first, by weeks.
COVID-19 cases outside China now make up 61.72% of global active cases.
That means there are still 38.28% of active cases in Mainland China. Of
course we don't know how truthful that is, because we have never been
convinced that China has been reporting out valid numbers. As stats come
in from case results outside China it will become more clear how accurate
China's reporting has been.
Some folks ask why I bother to report out Mainland China numbers. I do so
because it's all we have. We all know the reporting issues. I put this out
there and I think others can determine for themselves how much credence to
to attribute to them.
The numbers and percentages of resolved cases has continued to hold up pretty
well. On 03/07 at 18:03 PST the percentage peaked at 59.918% of all documented
cases having been resolved. As of the EOD 03/09, that percentage remained at
59.584%. That's actually pretty good considering the volume of new cases that
are now being reported.
These numbers address the cases outside of Mainland China.
I will provide the same format for the numbers outside Mainland China.

Lets talk about the United States again. I addressed the issue of the In the United States we now stand at 754 cases. Another day above 33.00%, and
we'll be at 1,000 cases and growing. Of course the U.S. is one of the larger
nations. We have a potential for big numbers compared to nations with less
populace, so the media can play on that.
Right now we are ranked 7th outside China. I expect to see us crawl up that
ranking list. The other nation's numbers are also growing, so we'll see.
The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered remains too high to
take much meaning from. I've seen 14-18% figures, but those are not even in
the same ball park as what the final rate will be.
You can still review them if you access my database.
There are now 115 nations declaring cases within their borders. 1+
Tonigh we'll take a look at seven nations outside China. These seven account
for over 84% of the global numbers outside China. Here they are.
9,172 27.22% Italy
7,513 22.30% South Korea
7,161 21.25% Iran
1,412 04.19% Franc
1,231 03.65% Spain
1,224 03.63% Germany
0,754 02.24% the USA
84.48% of all cases outside of China...
These are clearly seven nations worthy of watching.
I have a new section that addresses only the cases in the United States.
I have a new metric that explains how many people there are to one case in
each of these entities: Globally, Mainland China, Outside China, and inside
the United States. There is one person in every so many people in each of
these entities.
Globally : 167,975 Mainland China: 78,265 Outside China : 272,173 The U. S. A. : 459,527One thing that bothers me about the reporting by Johns Hopkins University
We had those large losses from that one nursing home, and that has skewed
the mortality rate to something in the range of 70%. Over the long hawl that
isn't going to hold up, so it's nothing more than a curiosity at the moment.
No nation is seeing anything like that.
It's just unfortunate how that turned out there for the inhabitants.
Even the Diamond Princess, the cruise ship where everyone was figured to be
next to death, out of 696 cases, so far only 6 have died. That and other
numbers out there outside of China, make it clear this is not a mass killer.
People will die like they do whenever the flu comes along. Sad but true.
All data below sourced from Johns Hopkins University: LINK
I have been downloading three to five reports per day since 01/27. I have then
worked up numbers that should give a very good representation of numbers that
have been provided to the public via that site.
In my spreadsheet linked below, you'll find global numbers including China. You
will find a separate section addressing just the Outside China figures. Then
there is now also a section with just the United States stats in there. There
are also a lot of special stats broken out for you to browse. The history of
115 nations and their numbers from day one of their reporting.
You're welcome to it.
COVID-19 Spreadsheet using JHU data
I now have an XLS file again, but it is for viewing only. I had to do a wrap-
around to get it to fit in the XLS file format. On the top right you will see
nations 1-70 listed. I cut and pasted nations 71-115 under them. You'll
see what I mean.
Hysterical Republican Governor Mike DeWine replaced hysterical Republican Governor John Kasich. Nothing changes. Grandstanding showboats.
40,000 coeds suddenly freed from the obligation of in person class attendance at the same time as airfare and cruise rates are at rock bottom prices? What could go wrong?
The news follows the first cases of the coronavirus in the state of Ohio, where three people tested positive for the virus in Cuyahoga County.
“While there are no campus-associated cases of COVID-19, we know that there are at least three confirmed cases in the state of Ohio

Marxist institutions will do their part to incite panic and flip the election.
Why not shut down the dorms? Because they would have to give the students a refund on room and board. So keep ‘em open, comrades.
We are setting up to work from home. No words on classes here but there is only one case in Virginia....where my daughter lives
Many years ago, I took a doctoral-level research methods in education class at OSU, hoping to get into their program. I was the youngest in the class by about ten years. Most of the other students complained about how hard the statistics part of the course was. I got through it fine with my two semesters of community college stats courses that I took as a freshman.
I got an A. The university lost my application to the program. They found it a year later and offered me a spot in the program without an assistantship. I said no, having just finished a year at another program at another university, completely paid for by an assistantship.
There were A LOT of Chinese students walking around the campus at OSU back then. I’m sure the number has quadrupled since.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
OHIO STATE SUSPENDS IN-PERSON CLASSES THROUGH AT LEAST MARCH 30 DUE TO CORONAVIRUS

The irony is that students will probably learn as much, or more, by studying than by going to a bricks and mortar classroom.
Why?
Because we've had zero deaths in this country of people who are less than 70 years-old from COVID-19.
traveling across America in search of the Wuhan Virus
Crazy. Cuyuhoga county is 2 hours away from Columbus, and because 3 people tested positive up there, they are canceling classes here, classes that aren’t even in session because they’re on spring break.
If our school district closed because of 3 flu positives 2 hours away, they’d fire the superintendent.
