Here in Washington state we have tested more than 10,000 people. 764 are positive and 9451 are negative.

The University of Washington is the biggest test facility. They have drive-through testing for all staff, students and patients of UW Medical.

We had six deaths Friday, three deaths Saturday, two deaths today, Sunday.

As I’m sure everyone is aware, we had our first confirmed case in the nation on January 20. So far 42 Washington folks have died.

The positive goes up about 100 per day with each 1,000 tested

Thanks for the additional information!

My last post was in error. We actually tested 2400 more and only had 100 more positive. We were getting 100 per thousand but it is dropping.

Thanks for posting this. So I will show my arithmetic for the pearl clutchers:

764 (+) / 10,000 tests = 7.6% incidence
42 deaths / 764 (+) = 5.51% rate (probably spuriously high as sample is still somewhat small. BUT....

5.5% of 7.6% = 0.3% population death rate (Deaths/total tests)

Even if the (+) rate is 10% transmission, that makes the true death rate 0.5%, tracking I nine with South Korea.
