Assume you mean huge number of people testing negative.

Also - did you get any response from any reporters?
Thanks. I fixed the wording. Also, I have received no response from the reporters contacted. I have also posted these graphs and some of my analysis on my Facebook page.

Spain lowest deaths in over two weeks. Italy back under 600 today.

NY and NJ very similar to yesterday's deaths (NY a little down, NJ a little up). U.S totals will likely come in similar to the last few days (nearing 2000) barring any unforeseen spikes or backlog clearing.

Good news for NY and NJ, the rate of change for New Cases per Day from day to day is effectively flat. In other words, the number of new cases from day-to-day is basically the same.

I personally would opt into a contact tracing system, such as the one mentioned in this Tweet. It is one of our best hopes in getting back to normal. Also, please note this would be voluntary.

Looks like IHME is incorporating new data. NC is down to 416 deaths estimated.

IHME increased the total deaths by about 500, dropped the amount of beds and vents down and now say today will be the peak day for deaths. Not sure what their rational is for increasing death total by a few hundred when the numbers have come in under their estimates on a consistent basis. I figure it will totally change by Monday.

Wayland - Thanks for the heads up. I will pull the latest updates into my spreadsheet. They must have updated just a short time ago. I checked mid-morning and the forecasts had not changed. The latest total for deaths are coming closer to what I would estimate based on the latest trends. Before these numbers were posted, I was thinking total deaths would be below 450.

I feel like their overall graph has a much longer tail.

I'm guessing that's because they're modeling this assuming social distancing through the month of May, so most of the tails go through at least beginning of June.

You are probably right. Looking at the graph, it's hard to believe they could have gone up on total deaths with every day coming in under what they had projected. It is nice to see them say today should be the peak of deaths as well as their shortage numbers decreasing. Although IMO, I believe they are way over estimating what is needed and shortage numbers

In looking at total deaths, the 4/7 model hits the maximum number (522.052 deaths) on 5/19. For the 4/9 model, it hits the maximum number of deaths (415.609 deaths) on 5/15. I get frustrated when the news media keeps saying deaths through August 1. After these dates, the models are not projecting any further increases, so they are being misleading with this statement. Total deaths from this outbreak should hit a max in mid-May.

The state of NC has four weeks to get their Test-and-Target planning complete and ready to go.

Here is why media members get so disrespected. From Brett Jensen today. No context, no follow ups to justify how this compares to the projections, etc. He should have labeled it "Breaking News" in all red cap font

Over the last 4 days, NC's deaths have gone up 124% from 33 to 74 and those currently hospitalized have gone up 57% from 270 to 423. @wbtradio #StayConnected

That is just a statement to get eyeballs and generate hysteria. Quite frankly, it is sloppy journalism. I just responded to his Tweet with the following:

While every death is tragic, I would point out that total deaths are well below what the IHME model projected for this same date. While the number of those hospitalized is up, the rate of increase in hospitalization is basically flat (look at the logarithmic plots of data).

I'd also like further demographic breakdown on NC cases. How many came from congregate facilities? What is the true median age?

Every press conference is about sound bites (both from media and government) instead of actually getting a real dialog.

Somehow people have gotten it in their head that no one is going to die, sadly it isn't realistic with a largely asymptomatic virus that is widespread. Covid-19 deaths will never be non-zero, ever. The goal should always have been mitigation, not overtaxing healthcare, and testing/identfying outbreaks to keep down fatalities.

As a whole NC has fared really well to this point and that should be celebrated.

I 100% agree.

In a few weeks, we are going to begin reopening the economy. After this starts, people will continue to get the virus, just like people get other illnesses. People will be hospitalized, just like they are with other viruses. People will unfortunately die, just like they do with other viruses. What we will depend on is having a surveillance system in place that allows for rapid testing of suspected cases and doing contact tracing to identify who else to test and quarantine. We will have to move at that point from assuming everyone is sick and needs to quarantine (what we are doing with the lock-down) to a practice of testing those who deal with the most at-risk of our population and those who have symptoms.

I just saw a reporter for NBC ask President Trump about opening up the economy without testing and citing some study that said people will die when the economy is open - implying how dare you open the economy with the chance people will die. Here's the facts. We will open the economy and people will die from the virus. This is tragic, but at some point you have to accept this will happen. When you open, you must be able to protect the healthcare system to keep it from being maxed out, but the economy has to reopen.

"The Moore County Health Department has determined that further testing in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in the county isn't necessary, as the coronavirus is likely present in all such facilities."

If we are throwing in the towel on nursing homes, let's just get back to opening it all up.

I haven't read the book in 30 years but Apple/google's test and trace sounds like the Scarlet Letter. I'm certainly not signing up for any government tracking until we know more about the virus. The whole time we have been led astray with doomsday forecasts, losing civil liberties (out of caution and argumentally the correct decision), and giving the government a lot more say in my daily life than I am comfortable giving them. I am not voluntarily giving this type of tracking information until we know more about this virus, and how proper the virus reaction was.

At the end of the day, I think the American people did a much better job than expected to distance and that is what really made the biggest difference. Any model has assumptions and the american public has not done this recently. We have all paid a big penalty but are not out of the woods yet.

Interesting seeing a full profile of ages and conditions like Mass provides.

https://www.mass.gov/doc/covid-19-cases-in-massachusetts-as-of-april-10-2020/download

1 out of 96 deaths in their 40s
1 out of 96 deaths in their 50s
7 out of 96 in their 60s
58 out of 96 in their 70s/80s (didn't count it out).
25 out of 96 in their 90s
4 out of 96 in their 100s

Twice as many died over 100 than under 60.

I would like to see a profile like this for NC.

Am I wrong to think that by the time we see the statistical decline of cases and deaths, we'll actually be further along due to the delay in reporting both? Positive results and deaths reported out are somewhere between 1-7 days old, correct?

Definite delay on positive tests, don't know how much death lag NC has. Usually does lag on weekends.

On a side note, Texas is releasing some kind of open back up plan on Monday.

The death lag seems to be at least one day, but I think there are a few deaths taking two days to report. I still think we are 5 to 6 days from peak on cases and 10 to 12 days on deaths. We are about a week behind NYC with regards to peaks. By this time next week (4/17), I believe NC will have 215 deaths. The latest model says next Friday is peak for deaths in NC, but I think it will be end of next weekend, given current trajectories.

Deaths, I feel we are at the mercy of the nursing homes. If it is really as bad as some officials say, it is a roll if the dice with how bad that gets. If that is under control, I don't see much of a spike coming at all. But one or two facilities blow up and that is shot.

Doing a dive into NYC stats. Only 5% of cases are under 45 (and virtually all with underlying conditions). And less than 2% of all cases have no underlying conditions.

So the Moore County health department is washing it's hands of testing people that may not be infected because they believe it is likely that the virus is present in all facilities? This sure seems like a poor (and extremely callous) decision to me. Glad I don't have a relative in a Moore County nursing home.

Exactly my thoughts. I responded to him similarly --- using his own tweet from just a few days ago that sounded "end of world'ish".

You are stunningly naive if you think this isn't already happening. The only thing you're opting into is being given the data that is already being tracked. The mic on your phone is constantly on to give you targeted ads on google and facebook. You don't think they also track where you've been too? Get real.

European countries with similar corona profiles to NC (population, death toll, etc) are starting to loosen restrictions next week even as NC government looks to keep shutting things down.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/11/health/european-countries-reopening-coronavirus-intl/index.html

Czech Republic is one of those countries that I have been following since they were so celebrated for their early restrictions. And here they are looking to ease thing up next week.

I am well aware of a phone's tracking ability. I am also aware of the phone listening to what I'm talking about and ads representing that on my phone. I am also aware that we don't know how proper our response has been to this. If you're comfortable giving the government the authority to say you need to quarantine for 2 weeks because you shopped in the same Home Depot as someone that tested positive, go right ahead. Nobody is stopping you. It's voluntary. I am not. The essential stores are nothing but Petrie dishes now. Everyone would be required to self quarantine.

A 2.5% positive test rate is insanely low.

23 Nursing Homes, 6 Residential Care Facilities, 5 Correctional Facilities, and 1 Other with outbreaks.

7 Additional nursing home since YESTERDAY (and 2 additional residential care). Just goes to show you how ineffective this has all been when we aren't actually protecting the most vulnerable. Time for a shift in strategy.

Hospitalizations down.

Media reporting 84 deaths (so still a gap in reporting there)

2 more Nursing Homes 1 more Residential to add to outbreaks.


Thanks for posting the updates Wayland.

I believe the media are still counting the deaths for 2 people who were citizens from outside NC, but they died while passing through NC. Since these deaths are likely being included by other states, NC is not including them. Here are the good news statistics:

Hospitalizations:
-61 people

Deaths:
6 people <== Down from 9 the previous day and 12 two days before

Daily New Cases:
404 new cases <-- Up from 257 New Daily Cases reported the previous day

I suspect the increase in New Daily Cases is directly linked to the nursing home increases and not the general population seeing increases. I have included three graphs. One shows Total Deaths to the four IHME Model updates, one showing the logarithmic plot of hospitalizations, and one showing a logarithmic plot of New Daily Cases. I do expect case rates to begin leveling back off over the next few days.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Maybe this has already been discussed, and apologies if so, but as I was sitting in the car at the grocery store looking through some of the information I saw that a "outbreak" at congregated living spaces is when there are two or more laboratory confirmed cases. Two cases. Such hyperbolic language for such a low threshold.
