Sweden was at about 50 deaths yesterday.

They reported 147 deaths today.

I just have to wonder if their reporting is for a day or just what they have in hand (several days).

147 is not good.

It depends on the country and to some extent the state. The only safe way to determine new cases or deaths is subtract totals over a period of time. Also all reporting is not online so reporting forms coming from hospitals and clinics may be several days behind and also may include multiple days. Subtracting the total cases or deaths weakly would provide a more accurate picture than trying to work with daily reports. We need to keep in mind that the primary mission of medical facilities is treating patients and saving lives which takes precedence over filling paperwork.

I agree.

I've thought about doing a seven day running average.

The First Case of COVID-19 in the US Treated with Remdesivir Was in late January – Two Weeks Later China Was Mass Producing the Drug – The Firm Gilead Sciences and Dr. Fauci Are In the Middle​

The first known case of COVID-19 showed up in the US in Washington state on January 19, 2020. The individual had traveled to visit family in Wuhan, China, and had returned on the 15th. The patient was immediately placed under surveillance and after declining health, he was finally given a drug being developed, remdesiver.

On Feb. 12, 2020 – that is correct, Feb. 12 – 10 days after Trump initiated the China travel ban, Bloomberg reported:
“A Chinese drugmaker said it has started mass-producing an experimental drug from Gilead Sciences that has the potential to fight the novel coronavirus, as China accelerates its effort to find a treatment for the widening outbreak.

Then in late February, a study began in Nebraska, to evaluate remdesivir (which all sounds a$$ backwards):

A randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational antiviral remdesivir in hospitalized adults diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has begun at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha. The trial regulatory sponsor is the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. This is the first clinical trial in the United States to evaluate an experimental treatment for COVID-19, the respiratory disease first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Looking back, it’s curious how the doctors in Washington state became aware of the use of remdesivir for COVID-19. What information did they receive that would lead them to try this relatively unknown drug? Then how could the drug begin being mass-produced in China before trials even occurred in the US?

Perhaps the answer is related to the firm that produces remdesivir – Gilead Sciences. It’s mission is – “To advance therapeutics against life-threatening diseases worldwide”. Gilead is a also a large company that spends millions in its lobbying efforts annually:
The one person behind the promotion of Gilead’s remdesivir is the doctor who has worked with Gilead for a long time, Dr. Fauci. He also has downplayed and criticized the use of the much cheaper drug hydroxychloroquine:

Can there be any uncertainty as to why Dr. Fauci, who worked closely with Gilead, is strongly promoting its more expensive and less effective medication, which has already failed against Ebola, over a readily available, markedly affordable medication with a 91% success rate?

How long has the production of remdesivir been in the planning? Why is this drug so highly touted by Dr. Fauci? The answer appears to be related to Gilead Sciences.


Comment:
You have to wonder why no drug trials were used to begin with. Did Gilead and Fauci violate FDA regulations? What are the connections between China, Gilead and Dr. Fauci and the Covid-19 virus outbreak?
When do multiple coincidences become a plan and conspiracy? Just follow the money.
More people have been treated with the HCQ cocktail and have successfully survived the virus than Remdesivir in the U.S.... It's efficacy in treating the virus has been proven.
Now I'm not discounting the use of Remdesivir because it failed in the treatment of Hepatitis-C and Ebola, it's just funny how it fit in nicely to fight Covid-19.
Things that make you sigh and say Hmm? A lot of money was invested in this drug that failed to do what it was intended to do, but suddenly it has found it's niche in treatment of Wuhan Covid-19.
Another coincidence was the meeting of the World Economic Forum that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY..
What significance does all this have with the spread of the virus accidentally or purposely released in China? Was this all happenstance?

Of the 1,772 people who died from coronavirus yesterday, May 13, 2020, only 6% of them, 115, happened in New York State.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Well...

Kind of good news, sort of. It appeared that we finally found the top of the active cases curve. But with over 21,000 new cases today, that's probably going to change after today.

Yup, it was just a small decline. Back up we go unfortunately.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Russia and Brazil are getting bad. Increasing very quickly.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

1,750 deaths.

750 from the usual brood.

MI & Ill add 200.

Sucks.

New York doing better.

New Jersey is still struggling.

12 states still under 100.

Top four states for deaths per unit of population are in the N.E. I.O.W. they've lost a lot of people up there.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Sweden checks in with 69.

A bad day for infections and deaths in the United States. The United States should be under 20,000 new infections per day and under a 1,000 deaths per day as well. Why anyone would be opening up states when this is not the case is crazy.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Money shot off twitter

PA has had less than 4,000 COVID deaths. 70 percent have been in nursing homes after the governor ordered them to take COVID patients. That leaves about a 1,000 non-nursing home deaths, or .008 percent of the population. PA just extended the lockdown into June. Insanity.

More money shots
Good stuff

I agree.

I've thought about doing a seven day running average.

That's a good idea because we are really interested in the trend, not the day to day stuff. As we try to relate any changes in covid 19 statistics, to changes in the restrictions, we have to keep in mind that the public can be very fickle. Some people are anxious to thumb their nose at the healthcare restrictions and do their thing while other are very cautious. We are dealing with both a medical epidemic as well as an epidemic of fear. Just because a neighborhood establishment opens following all the guidelines, doesn't mean customers are going storm the door. Polls show the public is afraid we are moving too fast opening the country, even it president isn't. I believe customers are going to be coming back very slowly except for what they consider essential, which might not agree with what the goverment considers essential. If new cases and deaths start rising rapidly they will be very slow to come back, if at all.

Brazil is getting bad. They added over 15,000 new cases today. That's a 7% increase just today. They're #6 on the list of total cases and they're about to fly past Italy.

Keep in mind it's late fall in Brazil, the time when respiratory virus spread rapidly. In the US that will be happening next Novermber.

NE not as much a factor.

Overall a better day for the U.S.
