Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)

With 40k deaths as of 4/19, the US is on pace to crush the IHME projection of 60k deaths by 8/1.  We have been at about 2k deaths/day for 2 weeks.  That should be dropping soon since it seems that the number of cases has decreased slightly over the last 2 weeks.  But the 60k mark should be hit by the end of the first week of May.

I bet we hit 60,000 before May 1st.  If we average 1,500 per day, that puts us right at that date.  NYC might be slowing down, but other parts of the country are picking up.

This seems like big news:

Sorry to interrupt your flow here, Mav. But this is pretty funny.

Unfortunately deaths per day is going up with 2583 so far today. Pennsylvannia and Michigan each over 200 (I think first time those states over 200). New York is steady or slightly declining at 750+, and I'm not sure if New Jersey at 375+ is increasing or decreasing.

I strongly suggest everyone participate in this.

It's simple. It's easy.  It's confidential.

I decided to go ahead and do this.  Took three minutes.

I did a little research on the company collecting this data. It seems OK. Standard privacy policy, standard disclaimer that my information could be bought/sold as part of a company acquisition. Boilerplate stuff.

 

After doing that, I registered. It's pretty quick.

@Mavric and @BigRedBuster I just did as well.
