Daily New U.S. Coronavirus Cases Fall For The First Time In 7 Days
Trending Politics (and Worldometer) ^ | 30 March 2020 | Clayton Keirns

New daily Coronavirus cases in the United States fell for the first time in over a week, according to the latest numbers from Worldometers.

On Sunday March 29th, the US registered 18,469 new daily Coronavirus cases, which was down from 19,452 on Saturday. This could very well mark the beginning of a "peak" in new Coronavirus cases in the United States.

While the "total" case number is still seeing steady growth, this drop in "daily new" cases could mean that the exponential spread of the virus has come to a grinding halt.

Since we are increasing the numbers of tests performed (I think), this is good news. Means they’re finding fewer cases out of more samples.


expect New York state

the percentage of positive cases found each day keeps going up

it was over 40% yesterday

At best we are in lockdown for the entire month of April, but I think it’s going until June.

However, even more complicated than going on to lockdown is how to come off of lockdown.

How do you take the whole country off of lockdown?

It can’t be done in a day.

So it really looks like the drop in new cases was due to a decrease in testing on Sunday.

Yes, getting into today's numbers, it looks like an increase to around 21,000 new cases. Almost always Monday shows a good sized jump over Sunday. The death rate is increasing, now it's 1.84% percent of identified cases.

Not as bad as the worst possible cases, but still not good.

It’s hard to determine if new cases is due to spread or increased testing or a combination of both. New deaths seems more final.

Up over 20k today

The number of new daily cases over the last five days is getting smaller.

March 29 numbers were updated this morning. It was not a drop but was a drop in the rate of increase.

It looks similar tonight for the 30th with decreased rate of increase. Will wait for morning to see his final number.

What this bar chart shows is the rate of increase decreasing, that is, to peak fairly soon. If the trend holds.

On the Hopkins site, the numbers have been bouncing up and down, but still trending up... Basically, at the same rate, except for a one-time big jump when testing expanded.

there is a lag in deaths

average death from start of symptoms is like 18 days or something

March 30 numbers are 20K, however, this does show with some degree of certainty that overall we have turned to a linear rather than exponential case increase. Caveat, however, this could just be for a few areas like NY and rapid growth in other hot-spots could put us back on an exponential increase again in a few days.

This is why this has to go on through April - to get it to roll over, get a large reduction in number of active cases so that remaining spread can be contained and managed.

We better keep shut down until Nov 4. The deep State wants to keep us safe.

I don’t buy it. They aren’t “testing more” - they simply do not have the # of tests for all people.

How many people are out there with symptoms that haven’t been tested? No kits, no tests.

Sorry, this is hogwash.

As soon as an antibody test is available, I’ll be one of the first in line to take it.

One day, I dunno. I mean it’s better than going up but still it’s just one day. My friend works IT at a hospital and told me just this evening their intake numbers fly all over the map. Reporting is really inconsistent.

I think you’re right. The number dipped on Sunday the 22nd as well, then went back up the next day.

How do you take the whole country off of lockdown?

It will be done in phases, if only for psychological reasons. But we locked down fairly quickly, we can open up fairly quickly.
