    That said, dr birx today talked about how either the numbers are way off or there are a ton of folks that have it that are asymptomatic.
    This is the % of positives for all the tests performed thru that date:
    March 4th: .136 positive
    Match 8th: .152 positive
    March 12th: .141 positive
    Match 16th: .100 positive
    Match 20th: .126 positive
    March 23rd: .151 positive
    March 24th: .151 positive
    Match 25th: .152 positive
    March 26th: .155 positive

    So, my point was that the # of positives is indicative of the spread. It's not 100% indicative, but it's about the best we've got right now.

    Today, we did around 100,000 tests. If we did 100,000 tests a few weeks ago, we wouldn't have found ~15k cases. If there were just as many cases already in the population back then, our hospitals would've also been full back then. But they weren't, we were barely hearing anything on that front.

    So I don't think it's fair to just ignore the new case numbers and say "oh we're testing more people, of course we're gonna find more cases, it doesn't mean it's spreading"

    I agree that it's not 100% accurate, but you can get a fairly clear picture from it IMO

    I agree, as I was one of the ones they would not test even though I exhibited most of the symptoms except for a fever over 101.5.

    I was told by my doctor to assume I had the virus and take appropriate precautions and self quarantine.

    Here's some charts I made attempting to compare # of cases relative to population using 8 days worth of the Worldometers data. Feel free to rip them apart. They obviously don't account for "how far along" in the disease process each country is.

    First one is just trending the Total Cases/1m Pop
    COVID_Total Cases_Pop.jpg

    This one I just subtracted the previous day's Total Cases/1m Pop from the current day's number to try to chart the rates of rise
    COVID_Change in Cases_Pop.jpg


    I made it because I keep seeing this chart to show how our trajectory is so much worse than everyone else's (this one was posted on SPS yesterday)

    My question is, isn't it obvious that our trajectory is going to be much steeper than all the other countries on the list when the chart is just reporting total # of cases? The population closest to ours that is reliable (China is questionable, India is a joke) is Japan, who is 3x smaller than us. All the European countries we are being compared to are more like 4-6x smaller than we are.

    Good work. You'd also have to account for us out-testing everyone right now... more tests = more cases.

    That's now a mortality rate of 1.6% in MS which is slowly creeping up. Maybe not statistically significantly creeping up, but creeping up.

    94 new cases out of 3139 tests?

    1.6 is not the mortality rate. It is the rate of deaths among positive tests.

    I think that is the total number of tests to date, not tests for yesterday

    Bummer. I was excited we had ramped up testing and low rate

    This is what happened with my wife and she is a nurse. She isolated and is fine now. No testing. We also think my 26 year old daughter had it. She exhibited all the signs and was very sick for a couple weeks. She even had the real red eyes that many patients are exhibiting. Neither were ever tested.

    Something else to consider is that people are staying on ventilators for 2 and 3 weeks. So we won't have a good grasp on the mortality for awhile. I've seen that anywhere from 30-80% of people die after they are intubated, which is scary.

    From MSDH website:
    "About our case counts: We currently update our map and statistics each morning with test results from the previous day. Outside laboratories also report positive test results to us, which are included our totals."

    So the reported total number of tests for the state are only the MSDH tests + positive tests from outside commercial labs.

    US deaths per million: 4
    Miss deaths per million: 2.3

    We're still below national mark right now

    Yes, If you can't afford your own health insurance and expect others to cover it. I think that is the least someone could do if they aren't paying in on health insurance and I am not sure why that would be wrong? Now if you're paying your taxes due then I have no problems with you eating whatever you want and exercising however you see fit as you're paying your part of the bill.

    The thought that someone should be able to stay as unhealthy as possible while getting free healthcare paid for by others isn't right. They should at the very least attempt to avoid things that would put them at a higher risk of ending up in the hospital or at a doctors office.
