Interesting Tid-bits (hopefully)
Fatalities and New Cases in the United States
Fatalities rose by 93 cases from the previous day, to come in at 958
yesterday. That was a 12.11% decrease from the same day the week before.
New Cases increased by 5,050 from the day before, to come in at 51,345
yesterday. That was a 6.78% increase from the same day the week before.
Fatalaties and New Cases on the Global Scene
Fatalities rose by 396 cases from the previous day, to come in at 5,865
yesterday. That was a 0.03% decrease from the same day last week.
New Cases rose by 28,036 from the day before, to come in at 343,876 yesterday.
This was a new all time Record, and a 2.71% increase from the same day
the week before.
Section: 02
The Following Addresses the Numbers Here in
the United States of America
Here we go...
New Case Declarations picked up again yesterday.
Please take note of the Resolved Percentage level on the right.
It's also informitive to look up the data columns to see how the
situation has changed recently.
Concept of adding in Active Cases and Serious Critical here, courtesy of amorphous
Here are more of our numbers...
Active Cases are tracked in that next to the last column on the right.
They went up yesterday. About 50% of the time, they go down these days.
Take note of the Serious/Critical situation on the right there.
Our Slice of the COVID-19 Pie
The growth of our slice of the pie has been increasing recently.
Here are the numbers I've been tracking, Globally Declared and Active Cases.
Our slices became smaller again yesterday. Liking this...
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 single, seven, and fourteen day averaging versions.
Remember, these are not new Declared Cases. These are remaing Active Cases.
Active Cases rose yesterday. We are still lower than we have been since 08/26.
That's why the chart shows Active cases going down.
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 size
of it just doesn't seem reasoned to me.
Why/how could the posive portion of the popoulace vary ass much as 2.0% from day
to day? I could a lot easier see a 2.0% trend over three or four days. One day?
Nah.
Go ahead and study the percentages on the right there. That low number of
testing still seems to be making waves even three days later.
I believe the three day will look better soon, and the 14 day will look
better in about 10 days. That 9.988% figure will remain in the fourteen day
chart for another 10 days or so, so it won't help much in the short term.
There is the total disruption lower testing three cays ago caused.
Things didn't get worse, it's just that the report of tests done, skewed
the percentagees considerably for averaged presentations.
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. I may be wrong
not to do so, but I don't plan to put much weight in those figures for a
few days until they normalize.
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.
I like the New Case Declarations line right now. They are ever so slightly
moving in the direction of flattening.
The active case line is going down. We have gone over the top and are on
the back side of the curve, however that can change.
I have been saying I wasn't too happy with the Recoveries and Resolved Cases
lines there. At the present time they don't seem moving toward flattening any
longer. They may show some strengthling almost imperceptibly.
Compare to the rise of Recovered and Resolved cases on the Global Scene to see
a different more healthy trajectory. These look lethargic by comparison, but a
a little less so.
You can right click view to see the Global Chart enlarged.
United States Movers and Shakers...
I will present the U S States with the most New Cases and New
Fatilities rankings.
Here we go...
California and Florida led the pack yesterday.
Section: 03
The Following Addresses the Global Numbers
without Mainland thereChina
Here is the first set of Data for the Global Outside China
Territories
New Case Declartations were the highest yet for any day so far, and it was the
nineth day in a row where the New Cases were a record for the day..
The Resolved Percent on the right is still showing strength to grow.
Fatalities, Recoveries, Resolved, Active Cases, and
Serious/Critical Cases - Globally, Excluding M/L China
Concept of adding in Active Cases and
Serious/Critical here, courtesy of amorphous
Here we go...
Active Cases rose here, and the numbers are growing by larger amounts.
The Serious/Critical cases rose up a little.
How is the Global Community Outside China Doing,
Without U. S. numbers?
Let's see...
This metric set a new high record, eclipsing the number on 09/11.
The last columns on the right document the blow-out yesterday turned out to be.
It was the highest New Case declaration day since COVID-19 became a thing.
Well, the blue line hs been climbing for a few days now. Sorry to see that.
The next couple of days may bring some relief. This is a 7-day averaging chart
so that isn't a given.
The Active Cases outside China Globally / Chart
As in the United States' 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.
The two charts above had looked like they were revealing flattening, but as
the days went by, they began moving upward again.
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:
Spain - OUCH! (Will you look at Spain! Wow!)
France - Ooo
To be honest, it looks like all these nations are showing an inclination to
move up.
I checked the parameters for Spain, and they were correct. That growth is
amazing.
Frace is suffering the same fate.
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 has flattened out a bit after that correction a while back.
The Nethherlands is just going balistic. It isn't as bad as the Netherlands,
but it is pretty bad.
We do need to keep it in perspective though. While the raw numbers do show
the Netherlands to be going orbital, the per million figures are still a lot
less than Sweden's.
Global Movers and Shakers...
I will present the top fifty nations with the most New Cases and New
Fatilities.
Here we go...
India is back to leading out on both metrics here.
If things don't change with regard to India's case momentum, it will replacebr> the United States as the nation with the most Declared Cases roughly six
weeks out.
Global osChina Stats / w 10 Day Agveraging / Fr: 03/05
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 03/05, but the data
displayed here will only go back one month.
Here is the chart to match.
This chart reveals a flattening of Active Case growth. There have been some
drops in the numbers of Active Cases, and then the size of their increased
numbers as they grow recently. Both are good signs of a more healthy situation.
In the the United States chart like this one, the Recoveries, and Resolved
Case lines have not shown near the strength as is revealed here with these
upward bound lines.
That chart is provided here, in a small version, but you can see it full size
if you right click view.
Section: 04
The Following Addresses the Global Numbers
including Mainland China*
Mainland China's numbers are 0.002% of today's total global numbers.
A Look at Declared, Resolved, and Active Cases, Includes M/L China
End of day figures follow:
We rose to 75.770% Resolved Cases yesterday Globally. The rise in this
column has been very reliable over recent days, weeks, and months.
Fatalities, Recoveries, Resolved, Active, and Serious/Critical
Cases Globally, Including M/L China
Concept of adding in Active Cases and
Serious/Critical here, courtesy of amorphous
Active Cases rose by a moderate amount, and Serious/Critical cases rose by
just over 250 cases.
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.
Each specific region rose up moderately yesterday.
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 United States broken out by itself.
Fatalities rose up yesterday.
What I see is a week where we rose up and fell off after two days. Last week
we rose up and remained high longer.
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.
This area didn't look very good yesterday.
and Nations With Lots of Cases
At the end of the day yesterday, there were:
I expanded the levels here yesterday. We had nations who were seeing serious
growth, and their levels weren't showing up very well at the top.
Over 50% of the 215 nations we're tracking now, have declared over 5,000 cases,
but they have far lees of them still Active. Over 25% of the nations we're
tracking have delared over 50,000 cases along the way. None of them have
anything near their declared amount remaining active. 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.
Yesterday was the 9th day in a row, where the New Cases was a record for the
day. Yesterday was also the largest single day of declared New Cases on record.
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.
For months Puerto Rico was showing up with the Counties. That stopped in early July
if memory serves me well.

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.

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 remained at 19th place here yesterday.
Over the last month we've been in this rut from 19th to 16th place..

Pennsylvania Nursing Home (LTC) death stats for September 19.
Based on figures received by the PA Department of Health as of midnight September 18/19.
LTC deaths = 5354 (up by 11)
Total deaths = 7956 (up by 22)
LTC deaths as percentage of total = 67.3 50% of newly reported.
Still the highest percentage in the NE US.
% of newly reported deaths is much better than yesterday’s which was 76%.
But none of this justifies the draconian restrictions still smothering the Commonwealth!
BTW, I live in Spain, as in Spain - OUCH! (Will you look at Spain! Wow!) in a resort town with 27,000+ full time residents that can easily double during peak summer season but at this time of year only on weekends. Our bars and restaurants are open and we go out regularly for Tapas and drinks. Ours is mainly a town that gets its tourists from inside of Spain rather than relying on people who fly in from other countries so we've been fortunate to have good crowds. The beaches are very busy and folks had a nice summer. During tourist season we had more people drown than die from Wuhan Flu. Wow!
LOL!
Just like Pennsylvania...11 non-nursing home COVID deaths yesterday.
More killed on the highways and by gunshots.
Ditch your diapers and draw a deep breath!
this is truly insane. how to stop it? to even find the bits worth reading, you have to wade thru the usual DM rubbish. however, pics do show Brits out enjoying themselves:
20 Sept: Daily Mail: Boris Johnson unveils £10,000 fines for those breaking self-isolation rules in strict new restrictions as coronavirus infections soar and battle rages among Ministers over a second lockdown
•The news comes as the number of daily cases reached 4,422, the highest level since early May
•But large crowds were still seen around markets and bars on Saturday, signalling little care for the rules
by Glen Owen
But fines for those breaching the rules, which come into effect a week tomorrow, will start at £1,000 – rising to £10,000 for repeat offenders and ‘the most egregious breaches’, which would include business owners who threaten self-isolating staff with redundancy if they do not come to work...
•A third of the people recorded to have died from Covid in July and August may actually have passed away due to other causes, researchers at Oxford University suggested...
Today the Government’s original lockdown architect, Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, recommended ‘rolling back’ freedoms ‘sooner rather than later’ by ‘reducing contact rates between people’.
The epidemiologist, who was sacked from SAGE for flouting his own lockdown rules, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘Right now we’re at about the levels of infections that we were seeing in late February, if we leave it at another two to four weeks we will be back at levels we were seeing more like mid-March’.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8751339/Boris-Johnson-unveils-huge-penalty-breaking-self-isolation-rules.html
note DM doesn’t mention the scandal of Ferguson’s fake modelling, which allegedly prompted the initial lockdown.
as for BBC, they would be happy to see the economies of all Western nations collapse...because of “climate change” and all that.
also, didn’t see deaths mentioned in the DM article, and rarely hear deaths mentioned by any FakeNewsMSM in months:
20 Sept: Daily Mail: Second wave of Covid cases in Europe is not causing deaths to spike compared with the peak in spring
•Difference may be explained by countries’ increased testing in recent months
•But it could also be a sign the virus is mainly infecting younger, healthier people
•Lockdown-free Sweden still has significantly lower rates than rest of Europe
By Michael Powell
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8751369/Second-wave-Covid-cases-Europe-not-causing-deaths-spike.html
check any chart for UK covid deaths. they aren’t having any worth mentioning, but it’s not easy just finding the best chart to show this.

there is tons of stuff on this Twitter feed. everyone needs to study the evidence:

COVID lockdowns are not science, they’re CCP propaganda. See my pinned article for key details
Attorney, author of China’s Global Lockdown Propaganda Campaign
17 Sept: By promoting fraudulent data, aggressively deploying disinformation, and flexing its institutional clout, Beijing transformed the snake oil of lockdowns into “science,” crippling rival economies, expanding its influence, and sowing authoritarian values.

Sept 19 re-tweets Caylan Ford
The Chinese Communist Party launched a massive propaganda blitz to promote draconian lockdowns, and then pivoted to promoting BLM protests and fanning racial resentment. Almost like they want to incapacitate and destabilize Western democracies. Hmmm.
https://twitter.com/MichaelPSenger
Spain and the Netherlands are going ballistic right now.
As for the numbers, you come here and learn all about them,
but seem to think no one else does. Why is that?
You guys read all sorts of articles from the same media
sources that lie to you day in and day out, but when it comes
to COVID-19, you just know they have to be telling the truth.
Why is that?
I don’t look at these numbers and think they are dead on
target. I don’t think anyone else does either. At
least here we can discuss them, look at other reports
and come to our own conclusions.
If I don’t post them here, do you think folks will never
see them? People go Johns Hopkins and World-o-Meters all
the time. What’s the point of acting like they don’t
exist?
Every epidemic has numbers issues similar to the ones we’re
seeing right now with COVID-19, but when referencing past
epidemics, those numbers are seen as pure as the driven
snow. Why is that?
Do you think our hospitals didn’t get extra payouts for
the serious epidemics of the past?
One day it’s reported that Florida test centers are only
reporting out the positives. I check out the percentage
of overall positive test results, and find that Florida
was not out of line with the other states. If they had only
reported out positives, they would have been showing very
high positive percentage numbers. They weren’t.
New York state was reported to be double counting cases.
I looked at their case numbers compared to the top state.
It’s very doubtful they are double counting cases en mass.
It’s just another sensational headline with new cases.
They were somewhere in the 21-22% range compared to that
top state.
The media is contributing too the total chaos in the
public domain today. They want people unsettled. It helps
make them vulnerable to complaints against Trump, that
when Obama was president, everything was peachy, but
now under Trump they aren’t.
It is what it is.
Thanks for all your hard work.
By the way I normally ignore your crap posts but 2 panic posts just happened to be at the top of the list when I popped in and I looked to see if you had anything about Nashville, which you don't. I'll go back to ignoring your crap posts after this.
While I'm here, 1 person drowned in my town this summer. Given my earlier post can you figure out how many died from the Wuhan Flu, or do you need to consult a table first?
Gosh, how will I ever go on after that withering bunch of
nothing...
You'll go on because you enjoy scaring people. Pretty sad. And by the way, another numbers vs real life reality check for you:
Spain and the Netherlands are going ballistic right now.
I've lived here for the entire pandemic and I've seen Spain go ballistic. Ballistic is total lockdowns, roadblocks set up to make sure people from the cities aren't trying to sneak away to their vacation homes, police waiting at the checkout lines of Supermarkets checking IDs to see if you have come from another town, etc. Spain isn't ballistic. They aren't even a little ballistic and if they do try to go ballistic again odds are it will be targeted, not countrywide like the last time. I just got back from a Sunday flea market in a town in another province, something that would have been unthinkable when Spain was going ballistic. So keep crunching your numbers and making stuff up. I have a life to live.
Yes, i enjoy scaring people so much that I post COVID-19
numbers on the forum that reveal it is much less of a threat
than the seasonal flu.
You really are quite the strategic thinker.
In your extensive grasp of this disease, that didn’t dawn
on you?
As for where you live, what’s going on there, perhaps that
would have been interesting if it touched on the topic
we’re discussing. Remember, you were attacking me for
posting the information I do, daily.
If you enter the thread with your head extracted, you
might want to break the ice with your personal home
nation observations. In the middle of our exchange it
really isn’t germane.
Please provide one example of me making stuff up to
enhance the dire threat this disease represents.
When we go by milestones with a new level of numbers,
I nearly always provide the remaining Active Case
numbers to offset the impact.
Yeah, you’ve got a life to live. LOL Too bad that
didn’t dawn on you before you started spouting off
about things you couldn’t grasp.
Thank goodness we have smart people like you to keep us nervous and agitated while you ignore the information that might make them sleep easier at night. Excuse me now, I have to go deal with the Spanish people going ballistic while you go on pretending you matter.
Oh man, I’ve taken you away from your life again.
And now you have confessed you are nervous and agitated.
You should probably avoid this thread.
First of all, your comprehension skills aren’t exactly
stellar. I explain to you what is going on here, and
you pop back up to reveal you couldn’t grasp any of it.
No sparky, the information I provide lets folks know that
there is less to fear from this disease than there is from
the seasonal flu, which hardly anyone fears.
That is good news. It should help folks sleep better
at night. Again, something else that sailed right over
your head.
Here’s yet another point where you simply don’t grasp
reality. I never made a comment related to the Spanish
people going ballistic. I made a point about the number
of cases in Spain going up at an accelerated rate.
As for me pretending I matter, I never made that claim
either. I merely addressed my goals, which have nothing
at all to do with me claiming I was important or that
I attained the goals
You are unhappy primarily due to wildly false assumptions,
and a refusal to address reality when it is presented to
you.
You assumed I posted this information to cause fear. I
explained that my attempt was to help reduce fear. Instead
of you accepting that and moving on, you continue to
spout your mistaken assumption, rather than reality.
You can act as stupid as you like. I can’t stop you.
The information posted in these threads is useful, helpful, accurate (as much as it can be, considering it’s all preliminary), and has plenty of value. If some people can’t look at simple raw data without descending into panic, then those people should choose not to look at the data.
The only way to help people make informed decisions is to help ensure they remain informed. The answer is never less information; it’s always more. These threads provide useful information. If people can’t put that information into context, that’s their problem.
If you enjoy it, more power to you. I just wandered in by accident looking to see if he had posted anything about how the mayor of Nashville hid data and used the lack of information to raise taxes. I then noticed a comment about Spain that was so far removed from reality as to be laughable, which is what happens when all you do is look at numbers. On a normal day I would have looked at the title and moved on without bothering to open it. Now that’s what I intend to do in the future.
