This could be a reporting anomaly due to some weekend effect, or it might be a real turning point.

The article goes on to say: "As you can see from the chart above, new daily cases were growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis until Sunday,

From March 21 to March 22 alone, our new daily cases skyrocketed from 4,825 to 9,400. From March 25 to March 26, the daily cases grew from 13,355 to 17,224.

This pattern continued for several days until the final number was tallied on Sunday, registering at "only" 18,469, down over 1,000 new cases from Saturday.

Yes, our "total" case count is still growing by what could be considered an alarming rate, but we need to look deeper into the numbers.

The fact that the daily "new" cases appear to be slowing down means that the virus is not spreading at the frightening rate it had been.

Take note, the cases that are showing up now are cases that likely originated 5-7 days ago. That means our nationwide efforts to enforce "social distancing" are working just like Trump said they would. (KEEP IT UP!)

Another reason these numbers are incredibly encouraging is because we're TESTING more people than ever before. On Sunday, our country conducted 95,000 tests alone, yet we still registered over 1,000 less cases than the previous day.

We're not saying the pain is over yet, but this drop in new cases is the first glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel for our country.

Cases may very well jump back above 20k on Monday, but as long as we have stopped the exponential growth of new cases per day, we are well on our way to defeating this invisible enemy once and for all."

Wow!

One day is not a pattern.

Worldometers corrected Sunday’s totals to 19913, blaming it on late reporting from NY. Still, the rate of growth has declined in NY and it’s not accelerating appreciably over the last several days.

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.

I want to see a ton of new cases and antibody tests on anyone who thought they could have had it. “More tests” does not equate to “more deaths!”

That death rate will be tiny compared with what everyone fears.

The worldwide new cases also dropped from Sunday to Monday. It is too early to tell if this represents a turning point or just a decreased test load on Sunday.

I try to record the case data every day around the same time.

From 9 am Mar 29 to 7 am Mar 30, there were 52,176 new cases.

From 7 am Mar 30 to 9:41 pm Mar 30, there were 52,563 new cases.

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

By tomorrow morning when I normally check the numbers, worldwide cases will be over 800,000.

Rush Andrew Cuomo all the countries remaining ventilation equipment that he didn’t buy instead of helping illegal aliens. Everyone else in the country be damned. Nuke NY, blame chin and North Korea, then vaporize the guilty. Might have to send one to Martha vineyard Obama’s house. 10KT should do for the fag and the mouch.

Covid-19 is caused by a SARS virus. In fact the virus itself is called SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic’s name is Covid-19.

The original SARS erupted in November 2002. Peaked around May. Was gone by July 2003. Maybe if we get very lucky this one will have a shorter lifespan.

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.

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.

[SomeCallMeTim]

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.

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

[ZephyrTX]

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.

[Nifty]

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.

[GulfMan]

They went right back up there today

[umgud]

I’m anxious as to the next several days.

Great website for statistics. Thank you for the article which contains the link to the Worldometers website. Please note that Worldometers had to revise up the numbers from yesterday due to reporting from NY state. The whole premise of the article was that the total number of new cases went down yesterday, but in fact the number was revised up, so the number of cases actually went up from Saturday. Today’s new cases rose again with 20,353 new cases in the USA. Sadly, the number of deaths was also rose, with 573 reported deaths.
