Places with highest daily reported cases per capita
Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents
Crock o Crap
Can we get a Fraudci-o-meter as in how many deaths caused by Fraudci and his ilk?
Didn’t Dr. Fraudci try to get everyone to wear face shielding? I wonder how long will it be before the Japanese study is retracted and a new study comes out to say face shielding works. The Japanese stude said face shielding is completely useless as did the early facemasks. Whatever happened to only the N95 masks working and all others were useless? So how many did Dr. Fraudci infect and cause to die by his incompetence?
How many people died of heart attacks and cancer during the same period? People die, that is a fact. Dying with the virus isn’t the same as dying from the virus.
The US govt last week updated the survival rates (i.e., IF infected) for Covid19:
0-19 99.997%
20-49 99.98%
50-69 99.5%
70+ 94.6%
CDC reports that 94% of COVID Deaths had underlying medical conditions.That mean that actual deaths caused by COVID is 12,000!

IT’S A SCAM: After 48,299 COVID-19 Cases at 37 US Universities – Only 2 Hospitalizations and ZERO Deaths — More Likely to Be Killed By a Dog
There have now been 48,299 coronavirus cases reported at 37 universities in the United States.
Of those cases there have been ONLY 2 hospitalizations.
And there have been ZERO DEATHS!
I can’t believe people fell for this . The news media are the enemy of the American people .All this corona-covid cold or whatever is just a political coup by democrats. And that’s all it ever was.
Let us understand
Covid Deaths = MSM whatever # they want to make up
Died with Covid = Tested positive post breathing
Died of Covid = Some F’n New Yorker POS attacked Old Folks with a virus
Yeah, deaths per day, not cases, is the figure to look at. It’s probably the least untrustworthy.
Deaths per day has been falling like a rock here in AL. There was a disconcerting rebound that prompted a mask mandate but we seem to be well on the other side of that now. Our numbers are down around where they were in early April and falling. The question is whether the mask mandate is allowed to expire at the end of the month or is renewed for a second time. Unfortunately the timing of the reversal of the rebound reinforced the perception that the masks worked. I’m guessing it gets renewed again—it’s the less risky decision politically.
It's difficult to tell if the curve that looked like a second wave in the US was just the bunch of states that hadn't been hit yet or if the increase in testing led to a much bigger basket of people who happened to die and happened to have been tested positive in the past x days.
If Sweden tells the tale then we should be through this before long and those who said 'Sweden is just eating their green beans first!' will have been proven to be right, which I suspect they are.
If we can get Trump back in and another SCOTUS conservative ... well that buys the country maybe an extra 25 year respite from turning into a socialist hell pit so at least 2020 will include some good stuff :-)
Those #’s may look good, but they represent an 8x worse survival rate for COVID-19 as compared to the worst “regular flu” season in the last 10 years.
So what? The numbers are good. You have a very rare chance of dying from the virus. So what is your point except to cower before a virus that is only deadly to a particular group of people!
Not cowering...just pointing out the relative seriousness compared to influenza. I am in the “particular group” tho...so am taking a few more precautions compared to regular flu.
The reason new cases have gone up in August and September is that school has opened. Many colleges and other schools have required testing. So we have a huge amount of tests. And many of those tests are finding cases from people who had no idea they were sick. Remember it was colleges and ports that spread this disease in America in the first place back in January. Last year foreign students, many from China, came to colleges in the US in January. The students mixed for two months. Then the colleges sent them all home in March. It was that more than anything else that spread the virus so effectively throughout the US. Shipping from China did a good job of sending the virus to the most remote places in the world. But often these cases stayed in port towns. New Orleans, Faroe Islands, Tasmania, Maldives all got outbreaks early on because of their ports.
By the way. If very small states report a spike in cases. Its not because they have a spike in cases. Its because they are small states. The reality is that a group of small states will always have some member of the group showing a percentage spike. It has to do with small numbers. A few cases can show a high percentage spike. And at any given time a group of lets say 12 small states will have 2 or 3 which show a high percentage spike. The next week, it will be 2 other states, while the first group will likely go back to normal.
"The estimates for persons ≥70 years old presented here do not include persons ≥80 years old". So people over 80 are not included there. Their survival rate is somewhere around 82% last I looked.
The notes on the graphs in the first post state that they’re cases per capita, so the size of the state is irrelevant for those.
Number of cases is not fully predictive of bad results coming, but it’s worth watching for a change in the hospitalizations rate and death rate as it’ll always be a leading indicator.
Perhaps if the colleges had not sent all their students home last spring, they would have stayed on campus, testing positive but hardly any of them even getting hospitalized. We might have stopped spreading the coronavirus so fast and so widely. It’s something that I had not thought of before reading your post.
The spread of COVID-19 was inevitable so it didn’t matter what we did in March/April.
A new case just means you test positive for the virus. It does not mean you are sick or even exhibit symptoms. It is a number the wannabe tyrants like democRATic governors use to put fear into their populations and make it sound like the pandemic is getting worse, not better.
This inert corona virus is NOT going away. It is in our environment and will always be here. This deranged thought that we need to eliminate it before all of these onerous, draconian preventative measures can stop is ludicrous and inaccurate.
I'm from Arizona originally and I remember being told I had tested positive for Valley Fever on one visit to the doctor. When I asked what that meant, he just said no biggie. A lot of people test positive for Valley Fever (1 in 3) but most people don't exhibit any overt symptoms.
We are being conditioned to be scared of this virus when the chances of dying from it are less than 1 or 2% of total cases. Here in Florida, over 85% of the Covid-19 deaths are people over 65 and they had other conditions that contributed to their deaths.
Manipulating the numbers has been common with this virus to make to look and sound worse than it actually is.
Dying from the virus is a completely different statistic than dying with the virus but yet they are lumped together to make it look worse than it is.
