It appears to be a combo of 2nd wave and expanded 1st wave. I have been tracking the US total excluding NY, NJ, Penn, Mich, Mass and Illinois the sites of the first assault from EU.
The total cases for May (7 Day) was in the mid 14k until the last 3 days when it peaked at 15,659 May 31st. Since that time every day except 6/7 has set a new record with the 6/17 average being 20,693 (a 32% increase). While today's total is incomplete due to awaiting some reports it is already higher than yesterday.
First wave never ended
Odd - when I select the hospitalization icon on the home page, I get this graph/view?
I suggest that it is likely akin to Florida Deaths by date. They seem to enter data by individual and run way behind so it always appears that deaths are declining. For instance the deaths reported by date on June 9th shows 1 death on the 9th. On the 10th it shows 5 for the 9th. 11th it shows 11 for the 9th, 12th it shows 14, 13th 19, and so on until today it shows 24. It appears data entry delays makes the graphs look good when the data doesn't!
Another 2 deaths added to the June 9th total - now 26!
Another tough day case wise in SC. Passed the 1000 case rate for the first time ever. 660 hospitalizations announced, a big increase as well.
Highest positive test count since May 1. 32K. We ain’t out of the woods yet, but I think some people are blocking out the rhetoric.
will be interesting to see if these hospitals start getting taxed again
Purely speculation, but I would suspect that the summer would be a better time for people to get Covid19 because it seems like a higher percentage are assymptomatic or have mild symptoms.
In the winter, if we are still dealing with Covid19, it could be bad, especially if it has mutated to be more lethal or infectious.
Interesting working hypothesis developing where recent increases in tests and positive cases correlate with more people getting tested before returning to workplace (or campuses)...with a corresponding (but not yet confirmed as causal) drop in median age of positive test results in Florida. Pretty striking visual - particularly for a disease that’s so dangerous for the elderly population.
Stay safe
I have a couple of questions/comments on the graph.
I have just started tracking cases by age group and so is only of limited value at this point but Today's reported numbers show that the cases relating to 55+ has fallen from a cumulative of 35% to 20%. However, while this sounds promising, it should be noted that the total of 55+ today at 787 far exceeds 35% of the May cases (average 725) which would suggest that roughly 250 per day were testing positive.
Over 4,000 just reported in Florida highest mark yet again this week . Also just read that a 17 year old passed away from covid in Pasco county Florida.
If true, with no contributing factors, that would be a game changer. If true.
Seems true but no details available
