USA! USA! USA! Winning the coronavirus race

I've been tracking the number of new cases that are reported every day in the U.S. This metric will likely provide the first indications that the curve has peaked. The growth rate has seemed to slow over the past few days, but it's still increasing.

Mar. 16th - 983
Mar. 17th - 1,748
Mar. 18th - 2,848
Mar. 19th - 4,530
Mar. 20th - 5,594
Mar. 21st - 4,824
Mar. 22nd - 9,339
Mar. 23rd - 10,168
Mar. 24th - 11,075
Mar. 25th - 10,796 (Current count as of 6 pm)

The curve will not peak until the testing has peaked. If you test all 360 million people RIGHT NOW, that will be the peak of the virus. Case closed.

Our early testing was insufficient, but one of the doctors said yesterday that we've tested more people in the last 8 days than South Korea has tested in the past 8 weeks. So hopefully we're finally starting to get some decent testing data to work with.

has the plots. I reckon the weather may be putting a dent in things. Apparently CDC is refusing testing to anyone who's not showing some gravity so that's one way the feds could be spiking the true numbers, or they're short on tests.

Yeah, that was Dr. Brix who said that during the Fox town hall yesterday. Dunno' which ass she pulled that number out of.
 
China population: 1.4B
USA population: 0.33B

China cases: 75k (0.005%) @ 32 days
USA cases: 50k (0.015%) @ 20 days

Your point?
Seriously?
You don’t actually believe the China numbers. They are multiples of what they admit and that’s on top of killing anyone who disobeyed their total lockdown.
 
South Korea has tested far more people for the coronavirus than any other country, enabling it to isolate and treat many people soon after they are infected.

The country has conducted over 300,000 tests, for a per-capita rate more than 40 times that of the United States.

While you are being ummm serious care to share numbers how many China has killed for disobeying lockdown?

All fine by Easter. Beautiful!

The only problem with that graph is how it insidiously fails to plot the US trajectory forward to the rest of the world.

Secondly, you do realize the US is on top of that chart, not as a good thing, but as a bad thing. All other countries there seem to have flattened their curve while the slope of the US curve is shows no sign of flattening.

Happy trading mr. umpteenth Russian troll bot.

There's virtually no evidence that warm weather kills the virus.

It is not yet known whether weather and temperature impact the spread of COVID-19. Some other viruses, like the common cold and flu, spread more during cold weather months but that does not mean it is impossible to become sick with these viruses during other months. At this time, it is not known whether the spread of COVID-19 will decrease when weather becomes warmer. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features associated with COVID-19 and investigations are ongoing.

The likely reason this happens is because there's better air flow (HVAC) and people spread out more due to the heat. The heat itself doesn't kill them. The "heat kills corona" meme was started by yet another one of Trumps addlepated displays of mindless self promotion he calls press meetings.

These numbers show no brakes on this train. 23% increase in positive cases and ~30% increase in deaths just today. Im not sure where all these propagandists are getting the "peak has been found" shit from. The pain has just started. The effects of self isolation won't even be seen on the graph until late April. Or never if Trump decides to sacrifice 1MM Americans for the stock market.

I never said warm weather kills the virus, being that virus aren't alive and all, in any case, if you don't think there's evidence weather "puts a dent in things":
