Official Coronavirus Thread - Up to the minute Coronavirus map and count.

CDC chart on their website suddenly is showing 37k deaths.

Lie. There is nothing "sudden" about it. And a literally spoonfed you the explanation for the disparity between those two numbers. Do i need to do it again?

I keep reading posters here yacking about population density when explaining New York.

But New York isn't even on the top 10.

Those top 10 cities don'tseem to be having any issues.

Here are the states listed in order of population density.

1. New Jersey (2nd highest infection rate)
2. Rhode Island (4th highest infection rate)
3. Massachusetts (3rd highest infection rate)
4. Connecticut (5th highest infection rate)
5. Maryland (10th highest infection rate)
6. Delaware (6th highest infection rate)
7. New York (highest infection rate)

The North East is highly dense and it's also highly infected. I don't think it's unreasonable to see that those two factors can be closely connected once the virus starts spreading.

I decided to look further into this with all the states. I took each state's population density (population per square mile) compared to their infection rate (cases per 1 million people). The Pearson's correlation coefficient between those two factors is 0.77. This indicates at least a moderate to strong positive correlation between population density and infection rate among states. I haven't looked into this among cities yet.

Aren't these all Democrat run and liberal states?

ETA: In even Democrat run California, the plan is in place to open businesses and restaurants. I saw a few local shops open for business, but not restaurants.

The states with the highest population density are blue states.

That goes for cities as well. Blue areas are often highly densely populated areas while rural areas are almost always red.

A virus spreads faster in a highly densely populated area. A virus doesn't care about political leanings.

Looks like for first time serious/critical decreased from Friday to Saturday by 7. That could be the beginning of huge improvements. Deaths do take people off the list but that has been the case all along and the numbers never decreased.

The 10 most densely populated cities are hardly being scratched.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Well well....

Looks like a good day for the U.S.A. and in general.

Is New York finally wearing masks ?

 

[Sun Devil 92]

What about those revised CDC death tolls.

Wow.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

SD throws another no hitter.

According to the CDC (if I read it right), they have had no deaths attributable to COVID-19.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Sweden shows 10 deaths.

This is consistent with their weekend underreporting.

The Wuhan kills the old aged but mostly spares everyone else. It also drives Democrat governors to fascism. Mighty strange.

I think it's the mutation that started in Europe from Wuhan killed more. We on the West coast got the Wuhan and it hasn't been that bad. We may get out of lockdown this week.

May 3, 2020: lowest daily rate of increase in infections and deaths in the United States so far. Hopefully this turns into a trend rather than being a one day event.

The Wuhan kills the old aged but mostly spares everyone else. It also drives Democrat governors to fascism. Mighty strange.

Doing what is necessary to win a war against a dangerous pathogen is not fascism. The United States defeated fascism in World War II by drafting 1/3 of the labor force out of their jobs in the civilian world and sending them over seas to fight in combat. This is a different type of war where we need much of the labor force to stay home in order to kill the pathogen. Being aged 60 or over does not mean you are less valuable to society or that its "ok if you die from covid-19". Every life is sacred regardless of age. Its also important to note that there are people who are over 100 that have survived covid-19, while there are people in their 20s that have died from it.

 

[U2Edge]

The United States now has more infections per capita than Italy. The United States has the 10th highest infection rate, from covid-19, in the world on a per capita basis. The United States has the 11th highest number of deaths per capita, from covid-19, in the world.

According to this article, the CDC and FEMA have new models that project that by June 1, 2020, there will be 200,000 confirmed cases EACH DAY and 3,000 deaths, EACH DAY. Here I was hoping we would be under a 1,000 deaths a day and 10,000 infections each day by then. We'll know the truth in 4 weeks. This makes it sound like June will be the worst month yet and what will July be like? When is the peak? The flattening of the curve? How about going down the other side of the peak and leveling off to only a few cases and deaths per day?

Here is the link: Coronavirus Live Updates: Trump Administration Models Predict Near Doubling of Daily Death Toll by June

This makes it seem like the first wave will be much longer than was originally believed. It makes opening up now which some states are doing even more crazy. Do we wanna see 6,000 deaths a day by July?

By June TAIWAN will possibly be enjoying an environment with ZERO active cases and only 6 deaths from this pandemic. The United States will be on its way to being the #1 nation in per capita deaths and per capita infections on the planet from Covid-19, with no end in sight. That is, if this model from the CDC is correct.

The 10 most densely populated cities are hardly being scratched.

You mean in the world? The virus hasn't spread much to certain parts of the world. At least not yet. That's kind of an important factor, don't you think?

Maybe, just maybe, it would be useful to take an apples-to-apples approach to see how population density affects the spread within a country that's already highly infected.
