COVID-19 Update

As of 04/04/2020 23:44 PDST (taken at 23:59)


Good morning everyone.

Thank you for dropping in to check out this Update.

Commentary3: Interesting Tid-bits (hopefully)

Our National COVID-19 Dynamics, Will Mimic Global Ones

When COVID-19 first entered our thoughts, it was isolated in China. For
weeks that's where it lived and thrived. As the numbers in China slowed,
they wound down pretty good. Then came the nations outside China.

Just when it seemed like there was hope on the horizon, the cases outside
China blew up. Trends heading in good directions were quickly turned around.
At one point 59.918% of global cases had been resolved. That figure resides
today at 25.921%, and has resided between 25.534% and 26.332% the last seven
days now. That's 26 reports. Each day it struggles, and struggles to break
out upward. This will be repeated with numbers down below.

During the press conference earlier today with President Trump and his
Team, the issue of certain areas quietening down, while others break out
was addressed. As hot spots in the United States wind down, it's likely
others spots will heat up, somewhat like Outside China took over from
China's numbers. One day it will look like we have a pretty good handle
on things, and then we may go sideways for a while.

This isn't a big deal. Just be aware of it. Don't be surprised when it
happens. We really don't know how severe it will be. It may not amount
to much, and won't likley be any worse than our peak in the nation
elsewhere, but then we can't say for sure.

Number of Nations With Higher Numbers than China's, Grows

Some folks are going to be inclined to go postal when I address numbers
with the name China in the descriptors. Folks, we all know the value or
lack thereof, of China's numbers. Please spares us another lecture.
The numbers are a reference point. None of us thinks they represent
anything close to China's actual cases. Thanks. Moving on...

China is no longer the nation with the most declared cases, and hasn't
been since March 26th, around 14:40 PDST, when the USA's numbers
expanded beyond their declared ones. Since that time four other
nations have joined us to eclipse China's declared numbers. They are
Spain, Italy, Germany, and France. [ Listed in thier current order
of cases, and yes Spain has come from behind to overtake Italy ]

There is a case progression chart for these nations below. It covers
their growth in five day increments from 02/20 through 04/04. They
will be addressed there alphabetically.

Daily Global Declared Cases, Now Eclipses China's Declared Cases

Over time China declared 82,574 cases to date. Starting the day before
yesterday on 04/03, the daily global growth in declared cases, has been
larger than that figure for two days.

Again, the China numbers are only a reference point. We know they are
not a factual statement of China's overall Case load.

Despite that reality, I found these points interesting, and thought some
of you might also.

Yesterday was our largest single increase yet, and we grew at a rate of
899 cases more than the growth the day before. At least that's better
than the 4,061 increase in growth the day before that.

Currently we have 312,237 active cases in the United States.

Our Slice of the COVID-19 Pie Continues to Grow

Once again, lets take a moment to address the U. S. portion of the
global declared cases.

The U. S. has roughly 4.252% of the global populace. There are two
figures I'm tracking with regard to this, the Declared Cases and the
Active Cases.

Here is what the movement for those two categories looks like.

       DECLARED     DAY'S     ACTIVE     DAY'S

04/04   25.935%    1.049%    32.400%    1.343%
Yesterday I was happy to see what looked like a dip in growth, but
today it's back. Still, if you look two days back, the numbers do
continue on a snail's pace toward less growth each day.

but the numbers I recorded are what they are. Today we're up over
them again, so there's not much to say except, "Ouch!" Those numbers...

I started the review on 02/20, because some of these nations had
been at that same level for a few days. Then the next day things took
off.

Take note of Spain's meteoric rise to catch up and pass Italy there.

Sometime prior to noon PDST yesteray, the number of Resolved Cases

went over the 300,000 mark. There were 26,362 cases resolved
yesterday. That's 3,018 higher than the previous high reached two
days prior. This number will now grow larger each day, with a
few exceptions here and there. We are reaching two weeks after
the relatively large numbers of declared cases started coming in.

Congratulations to the surviving veterans of this fight, and our
condolences to those lost in the battle, and their families.

After a valient effort, that Percent of Declared Cases that have been
resolved, continues to be unable to break out upward. It peaked
at 59.918% on March 7th, 29 days ago. Again, it has been hanging around
stalled in the top half of the 25.534% to 26.332%^ bracket for seven
days, or 26 reports now. You can see how rapidly it dropped there
and then stalled in this range.

Seems there could be a couple of ways to look at it. If the virus was a herd there looks to be a lot of green pasture left. Globally. The reason IMHO we are “worst hit” is statistical. Most countries can’t do near the testing we do.

I agree with your green pasture comment. The interesting
thing is though, these things don’t seem to continue
grazing even though there is pasture left.

We just don’t see anything approaching 50-100%, when viruses
like this come knocking at our nation’s door, break in, and
have their way.

As for testing, we are showing some very large numbers to be
sure, but my take on it is that per capita, we have not done
nearly the testing other nations have.

I welcome anyone who has another view on that.

I don’t mind being corrected.

It stands to reason that like all epidemics it will top out when between 40 and 60% of the population will encounter the virus.

Informative 10 minute video from a Dr. on the front lines in NYC. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face, and social distance.

I just don’t think it is possible even with our tech and logistics to do testing and “catch up” to the virus in real time. So we really will never know what # of new cases today is. It just can’t be done.

Thanks. I wasn’t aware of that figure.

Do you know what the H1N1 infection rate was?

From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there
were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304
hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths
(range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the
(H1N1)pdm09 virus.

Not offhand. Offhand I don’t know a “figure” for any epidemic. For me #s are just a way to describe behavior. You may know how many bones are in a giraffe’s neck, I don’t. I know they are tall.

The CDC’s early screw ups really put us behind the curve on testing. Hopefully that is about to be remedied in a big way and we can catch up.

Good article on this from the MIT Technology Review.

Why the CDC botched its coronavirus testing
The first testing kits from the Centers for Disease Control had a simple fault, and red tape prevented other labs from creating their own.

I keep reading “The CDC screwed up on testing”? What does that mean? They were supposed to detect an epidemic in some new hi tech way that is better than the “old fashioned way?” When people start dropping dead?

You mean per capita testing we have not done as much. In sheer #s we have smoked the world and I don’t think we have nearly “caught up” to what’s out there.

I realize that.

What we have is a reference point that isn’t iron clad.

We can’t change that. This is all we have.

I do think our government and health care institutions are
trying to keep tabs on what is going on.

In China by contrast, I think they scooped people up and
got rid of them without documentation.

I don’t think that sort of thing will happen here.

As you mention, it’s just impossible to capture all the
data.

What you touch on is what prompted me not to be quite as
critical of China as some others were.

Yes, China hid things and I’m pretty sure they did some
stuff civilized nation’s don’t do. None the less, we know
you can’t capture all the data.

We can’t do it either.

I’ve been trying to tell people that for days now. The “new testing” the CDC is doing isn’t so much to “see where the virus is” but more to “see where resources are needed”. At first glance those may seem to be the same thing but they really aren’t. If all you want to know is where resources are needed you only need a fraction of the testing. IMHO.

I think the CDC is kind of using the old, “But the other parents let their kids...”, type of excuses here.

Center for Disease Control

It’s their job one. FAIL!
