    Look at the site. It also shows how many tests are being done. There are areas where the testing is increasing and the new cases are decreasing (CT) and there are place where the new cases are increasing far more than the testing (AL). The site also shows things like hospital capacity and utilization and such so it’s a good reference for multiple ways of looking at data.

    pickled egg There is no “try”

    And without a consist dataset, you cannot make accurate conclusions.

    But you keep on believing what you want to believe.

    Right, that's my point. There's millions of people walking around right now who are (or were) positive and have no idea (like my cousin who apparently infected his dad and he had no clue as he was entirely asymptomatic). Especially now that places have been re-opening again. The concern should be what percentage of cases are severe/critical ones. Yes, you're always going to get a small percentage that have a severe reaction to it, but those are the folks you keep safe and isolated, i.e. the way quarantining has always worked.....not locking up the healthy and fit.

    Yes because increased testing has no effect towards an increase in confirming existing cases.

    Be interesting to see the states going for it vs the ones that are being more conservative

    Colors are a bit weak. Could have provided information in a better format. I give them a C-.

    Still a useless number as long as testing isn't more widespread.

    FWIW in GA - finally got their shit together for testing. Total cases and new cases per day is still going up as a result. However deaths are going down at an even steeper slope. Can't find anything about current numbers of hospitalized just the total. Guessing the health department is still afraid of showing too much real data and losing their power.

    Which pretty much confirms that, until you know the rate of infection in the population, the hospitalization and fatality models are pure speculation.

    Yepper. They do have a nifty graphics lade pdf they do daily that has the total hospitalizations/er bads taken/icu beds taken and number of available vents in the state listed on it - but it is also suspiciously absent any mention of people in the hospital getting treatment due to this virus. Our total number of free beds and icu beds have gone down since opening up things more - but that is a direct result of opening things up more and allowing people to get procedures done they had been delaying.
