Commentary, Special Reports, and COVID-19 Update Information¹
Interesting Tid-bits (hopefully)

Higher Fatalities Observed Again Yesterday

The trend in higher Fatalities continued yesterday. The count was 237.33% higher
than the same day last week. While that sounds bad enough, this means that if
last week was 100%, yesterday was 337.33%. 237.33% was just the increase.

If we don't see a severe dip in Fatalities today, we will see our Fatalities rise
above 1,000 this coming week for the first time in over a month. 1,250 to 1,350
would be my prediction if there is no relief today.

Remember, Sunday is the lowest day of the week. If we're doing 800 on a Sunday,
road work ahead, it's going to get bumpy.

Section: 02

The Following Addresses the Numbers Here in
the United Staetes of America

Here we go...

New Cases came in lower yesterday. That's pretty good considering we tested over
760,000 people. And that was a resting period. We did over 849,000 the day
before.

Here are more of our numbers...

Active cases continue to climb.

Our Slice of the COVID-19 Pie

The growth of our slice of the pie has been dropping recently.

Here are the numbers I've been tracking, Globally Declared and Active Cases.

You can see how these percentages dipped and then started to grow again. The
crucial aspect of this is the testing. Is it on the up and up? Are we being
gamed on the issue?

Active Cases in the United States / Chart

Unlike some of the other charts here, we should see a good rise and
fall at some point withone.

Note that this presents the one day and then 7 and 14 day averaging versions.

Remember, these are not new Declared Cases. These are remaing Active Cases.

Clearly the single, seven, and fourteen day lines are moving way up.

Testing and New Case Figures
Requested by stocksthatgoup

Some folks have shown an interest in seeing the COVID-19 Test figures compared
to the New Cases being declared. The following Data addresses that.

The postive percentage of testing fell off a bit again yesterday. We are
running very high levels of testing. Take a moment to check out the numbers
for the last two days. Pretty amazing actually...

It looks like there may be relief in the percentage of tests that come out
positive. We'll keep an eye on this.

The U. S. Stats / w 10 Day Averaging / Fr: 03/17
Requested by: Texas Eagle

This data and chart presents things in a little different way. In the
chart it is easy to see the relationship of these numbers.

The Chart will use the data all the way back to 03/17, but the data displayed
here will only go back one month.

Here is the chart to match.

The Active Cases and Resolved Cases look to be closing.

The Following Addresses the Global Numbers
without Mainland China

Here is the first set of Data for the Global Outside China
Territories

Yesterday was another very high day globally.

Here we go...

For your review...

How is the Global Community Outside China Doing,
Without U. S. numbers?

Let's see...

This metric looked a bit better yesterday, but let's review why. This tracks the
global cases outside China and outside the U. S. The U. S. had 10,000 higher cases
for the day, but then that isn't tracked here. That center number does not include
our cases. That's why even though there was a 10,000 case increase globally
the center number could still drop a bit. It's the whole reason why I developed
this metric for review.

Yesterday was a massive New Case day. We impacted that significantly.

These charts are now not only seeing growth internationally, but domestically
as well.

The Active Cases outside China Globally / Chart

As in the U. S. version of this, we should see a good rise and fall at
some point these two.

Note that these present the one day and then 7 and 14 day averaging versions.

Remember, these are not new declared Cases. These are remaing active cases.

Special Section on France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the U. K.
Case growth.

Jim Noble mentioned he'd like to see the US numbers added here. I added them
in on 06/21/2020. I did not add them to the chart because it would have
dwarfed the European nations chart lines. (they would have been reduced to
about 15% of their normal size)

Let's Look at Some Numbers in Five Day Increments:

Hard to miss the correction in the direction of the U. K. there. I double checked
the data, and the correction has been sustained for the last day and a half.
It is accurate. Unless a correction occurs, the U. K. just changed
direction.

The U. K. line there is quite similar to France's line over a month ago.

Sweden and It's Neighbors, Who Has the Best Tactic Against COVID-19?

Sweden is doing its own thing with regard to isolating. I think most people
are aware of it by now.

Here are some numbers to help us look at this issue.

Sweden still remains a hot topic, and it's tragectory IS NOT looking good
on that Chart. In it's own group, it's not good at all. If you compare it
to some European Nations, it looks no worse.

Movers and Shakers...

I will present the top fifty nations with the most New Cases and New
Fatilities.

Here we go...

As the number of daily Fatalities grow, the dismissing of those high levels of
New Cases loses favor. I wouldn't mind 100k New Cases per day, if the Fatality
rate was low. If the fatalities move back up into the thousands per day level
it's going to be a problem.

I like being able to follow the movement of these stats visually.

The Following Addresses the Global Numbers
including Mainland China*

Mainland China's numbers are 0.007% of today's total global numbers.

A Look at Declared, Resolved, and Active Cases, Includes M/L China

End of day figures follow:

I was surprsed to see the upward movement robust enough to carry us over the
62.00% level of Resolved Cases globally. That's where we want to be, growing
higher each day. Now it looks as though there's enough strength here, that we
may be topping 63% Resolved Cases shortly. Nice!

Section: 05

the Mortality Report

Here is the data for four entities...

Here are the figures for the growing case totals for four entities.

We hear all sorts of stories about how these figures are wildly off. The CDC
has studied them and seems to think they may actually be on the low side of
things. I am providing the CDC Provential Numbers down below. Not sure if
anyone has a rock solid number. I doubt it is possible. This is what is
reported out by WoM and JHU. Check out the CDC numbers too.

Charts like this one only show growth. That's why I recently took the advice
of a FReeper and added in a new chart for the U. S. and Global outside China
regions.

Here are figures revealing the daily growth for those four entities.

U. S. Fatalities continue to remain in sub-1,000 territory, but the last four days
have seen higher Fatalities than we have seen in two weeks. Still hoping for the
best as we go forward in the short term. It's my take, we're headed back above

Since the beginning of COVID-19's activity in the U. S., higher New Cases were
soon followed by elevated Fatalities. If we have gone to school on the data
of this disease, we know who should avoid exposure the most. So if the
demographic that has little to fear from the disease is out there getting
infected, it may not be a bad thing at all. If the Fatalities remain low,
vastly higher cases may simply increase the rapidity of the saturation of the
people in public who have already fought it off. And that may facilitate the
end of the disease. I'm sure others know this, but I did want to explain why
my thinking has fluctuated over time regarding these dynamics.

Here, let's look at data for the U. S. broken out by itself.

In the lasts 36 days, we have looked very good in this area. I'm not sure we've
had even one clean count day over 1,000 out of those 36 days.

Sadly, we're seeing growth here. It looks as if the Fatalities are about to
start tracking noticably higher along with the New Case declarations.

New York, New Jersey, I'm sure you'll have a very hard time figuring out where
they botched things... /s We had a little mini-event just after New Jersey also.

Section: 06

Population Saturation

Here are figures revealing how many people in each population base represent one
case. I'm also showing what percent of each population base is infected at this
time.

If you'll note, we just passed the half a percentage point of our populace's
infection rate.

Nations With Lots of Cases

At the end of the day yesterday, there were:

It's hard to belive there are that many nations with massive numbers. JOH and WoM
are tracking 215 nations (or entities). This means that 64.19% of these entities
being tracked have declared over 1,000 cases. I'm sure they have far fewer Active
Cases than they have declared though. Keep that in mind...

Daily Case Report Evaluation

I'll be keeping tabs on the daily tallies for days of the week for a while. Folks have
noticed some patterns of larger and smaller data entry on certain days, and on Fridays
sometimes the numbers get noticeably larger because of it.

And we now know Thursdays have potential to break out also. Yikes!

IMO Let's check out the numbers and a chart.

Look at that massive margine of increased New Cases over the same day in prior
weeks. Not good...

We happen to be the primary reason for that too. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Section: 07

The Top 200 Counties in the U. S., by Number of Cases

This little report lists 200 Counties in the United States in declining Case numbers.
There is also a listing that is alphabetical. This report list only the entities
and the number of Cases in the two different sorts.

It will also be available as a downloadable Excel file in Section 12.

There are two reports. The presentation above comes from the second one,

These can now also be found under the states on the Alphabetical list. The
states and these entity's numbers should be combined to match that of the

The United States, Where it Ranks With Other Nations?

Each of these pages is sorted differently. Look at the red header above
the columns to see which column was used for the sort on any given page.

The U. S. will be highlighted red here so we can find it easily in the list.
There was 215 nations on this list last night now. I didn't want to post
seven lists with 215 nations on it, so I picked the top 50. Coincidentally,
one report category had the U. S. at 41st, so it wasn't showing up on the
list with the 31 top nations on it. That wasn't the reason why I extended the
list length, but it did work out well.

I work on the nations right next to the states on my spreadsheet. The
states with the District of Columbia come in at a total of 51 lines.
I decided to keep the international reports near that length, and 50
was good enough.

Here we go... for your review.

Around 06/23, China started putting out it's testing numbers. I thought
they were suspect. The number they put out was 90,410,000. Ours and most
everyone else's numbers are specific. For instance on 06/28, our number of
of tests at the ned of the day was 32,592,368. That specificity separates it
from the number China put out. It was rounded to the 10 thousandth place. In
addition, China has not updated that number once. So I do not inlude China in
the Nation's Comparison Sort regarding Testing, and any place that reports out
global testing numbers for a top level comparison.

We came in at 23rd again on the Testing per million scale yesterday. Running over
760 thousand tests didn't hurt this metric any.

Progress...

Top movers and shakers.....China not even on the list?

[Erik Latranyi]

The FACT is that while the number of positive tests is rising in the US, the number of fatalities is not.

In the last month, the total number of fatalities rose 18-19% while the number of positives rose 54-55%

No spike in deaths

ABSOLUTE **FACTS** ON COVID19

I think you missed this part from the original post:

"Higher Fatalities Observed Again Yesterday

The trend in higher Fatalities continued yesterday. The count was 237.33% higher than the same day last week. While that sounds bad enough, this means that if last week was 100%, yesterday was 337.33%. 237.33% was just the increase.

If we don't see a severe dip in Fatalities today, we will see our Fatalities rise above 1,000 this coming week for the first time in over a month. 1,250 to 1,350 would be my prediction if there is no relief today.

Remember, Sunday is the lowest day of the week. If we're doing 800 on a Sunday, road work ahead, it's going to get bumpy."

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Thanks for the info! Lot of work!

Noting: New York & New Jersey stick out like a sore thumb.

[teeman8r]

Break down of number of deaths in age group would be nice and perhaps the number of deaths due to natural causes in that group.

If death rates are lower in other things, perhaps there is a silver lining that covid stops people from dying of other things... or are they counted twice?

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

I am not sure that "fatalities" is the best indicator, since a person who was testing positive and died does not prove that covid-19 was the cause. What does "active cases" mean, other than test results? If a person had one positive test and then did not get tested again, does that count as an "active case?"

One thing missing here is number of hospitalizations for covid-19.

Obviously a lot of work there which is appreciated.

Interesting read, including the comments. Thanks for posting.

The author does seem to have a fixation on bowel movements, though!

[Wonder Warthog]

"No spike in deaths"

Give it time. Of note is that the inflection point for all the USA trend graphs from stable or decreasing to increasing coincides almost precisely with the "Floyd riots", plus an incubation period (Floyd was buried on 9 June). This has (accurately) been dubbed the "FLOYD-19" COVID spike.

[Wonder Warthog]

You mean “absolute bullshit”. Compared to its Nordic neighbors, Sweden has done a crappy job).

[MulberryDraw]

Thanks for that link! Another fact that may not be there. 3/4 of us are deficient in vitamin D, a vitamin necessary for a healthy immune system. That number is considering the bare minimum amount of D in our blood. My doctor recommends a number 67% higher.

I started tracking the number of new hospitalizations of COVID patients in Florida.

Jul 2 = 341
Jul 3 = 244
Jul 4 = 160
Jul 5 = 150
Jul 6 = 380
Jul 7 = 333
Jul 8 = 409
Jul 9 = 435
Jul 10 = 421
Jul 11 = 248

We have had record numbers of new COVID cases in Florida for over two weeks.

We are seeing an increase in new hospitalizations for COVID infected patients. Not good.

I will continue tracking the COVID hospitalization numbers as it changes.

If other states are reporting covid hospitalizations, it would be good to post the data from those states.

Here is the link to the source document:

http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/state_reports_latest.pdf

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Florid set a new record yesterday with 142,981 tests received by FL DOH.

http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/state_reports_latest.pdf

These counts include the number of people for whom the department received PCR or antigen laboratory results by day
