Bud:
It was already given a official name, nobody is going to rename it, so what is the point.

Attached chart of deaths to date and new deaths for the US shows deaths to date (884) in yellow, and new deaths each day in dark blue.

- US remains #3 in total confirmed cases to date.

- US remains #6 in total confirmed cases as a % of population.

- US moved up one spot in number of total deaths to date as a % of population (from #8 to #7)

- For the last 4 days US has had a flat rate of approx. 200 new deaths total per day, except for the 24th when it had only 69 (about the same as the 19th thru the 22nd when it was flat with around 40-50 each day).

The conspicuous absence of Germany on that list seemed odd since I knw it had more cases than Iran, France, The Netherlands or the UK, so I took a closer look at the WHO report for that date: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200326-sitrep-66-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=81b94e61_2
The numbers match for the countries listed, but it's now obvious to me that you misinterpreted what the 2nd chart is. And fooled yourself into drawing the wrong conclusions.
The chart is actually the 8 countries with the most confirmed deaths, which is a different subset of countries than confirmed cases.

With either subset of countries, it's misleading to state deaths by % of population at all, unless that's also the criteria selecting the subset of countries you're looking at. For instance, if you look at the entire list, while the US is obviously on the rise, there are quite a few countries ahead of it when sorted by % deaths/population.

of precaution tested for COVID,  found positive, dies afer an hour and is now counted as COVID victim. I mean, really  :palm: ? How many similar cases
are out there?

OTOH in the NL doctors say that some deceased Covid-19 victims aren't counted because they wheren't tested for Corona but had several symptoms pointing towards being infected.


--- Quote from: Sredni on March 26, 2020, 10:12:21 pm ---Meanwhile, the US is now number one in number of infected - "America first!" remember?
And thanks to governors such as that of Mississippi is trying to do its best to ramp up in the number of deaths, as well:

I'm getting the feeling the US is not going to try really hard to contain the Covid-19 virus from spreading in order to minimise the hit on the economy. Or put differently: it seems there just isn't enough money around to serve as a life boat for the economy.

It seems clear we won't know the real extent, we'll have the data we have and if there are errors due to reporting done differently then there may not be much to do about it since the bodies probably won't be dug back up, especially considering the sheer numbers.

As for the US it really depends. Each state is handling it the way they think is best. It's unlikely the federal government will be able to enforce anything since we don't have the manpower to do so. Each state is relying on the others to do the right thing. Sort of like the EU, each member is doing what they think is right.

Yes, I missed Germany. Thanks. So I provide a bunch of data, and you are all free to add any missing data.

As far as "misinterpreting" and "fooling myself" and all the other wonderful stuff you said, let me suggest you tap the brakes a bit. I, unlike most others here, am trying to provide actual data, rather than drone on and on with irrelevant handwaving and ridiculous and irrelevant pseudo-facts solely to make themselves sound smart.

If you don't like the format or the conclusions, then I'm sure you are intelligent enough to draw your own conclusions. I don't owe you anything.

And perhaps even a mumbled "thanks for the info" might be more appropriate don't you think?

Yes, it is. Let us sincerely hope that the people playing with it are a step or two beyond relying on the Arduino's own software ecosystem.
