8% for the US today which was the lowest since Feb. 29. Doubling rate went from 5.96 to 8.87 days which was a step change improvement and broke out of a second order fit that had been pretty resilient for over two weeks. Still, it could be a statistical fluctuation. The death rate was also notably down but it should significantly lag the cases.Most states were under the 10% threshold in new cases today. If that holds tomorrow, things could be starting to turn.
If you've been following this, do you have any insight on Sunday reporting possibly not being as accurate?8% for the US yesterday which was the lowest since Feb. 29.

I’m worried it’s a weekend thing. Something lagging.8% for the US today which was the lowest since Feb. 29.

Also, is anyone tracking new tests? I the number of tests back fell off then that would explain the drop.8% for the US yesterday which was the lowest since Feb. 29.

It could be real but my concern is that the death rate also mimicked the new case behavior in its outlier-ness. They shouldn’t be well correlated on the same day.If you've been following this, do you have any insight on Sunday reporting possibly not being as accurate?
Worldwide, last Sunday total cases around the world were the lowest they had been in four days. Deaths were also down. Both went back up the next day.If you've been following this, do you have any insight on Sunday reporting possibly not being as accurate?
Because they aren't a meaningless stat? If you followed the drop in cases in Italy, you wouldn't have been surprised 1-2 weeks later when ICU cases and deaths started dropping.Cases are a meaningless stat...not sure why the media and others continue to pay attention to that statistic.

It's an extremely relevant stat and it gives the earliest indications that things in a country are improving or devolving.
Decide for yourself.Why is it meaningless ?
Because they are only testing a subset of the population who have access to testing.Why is it meaningless ?
This makes me think something is going on with Sunday reporting. Cases and deaths shouldn’t be moving in concert and there should be smoothness in the trends, especially now that the numbers are relatively large.Worldwide, last Sunday total cases around the world were the lowest they had been in four days. Deaths were also down. Both went back up the next day.
The USA only reported like 273 deaths last Sunday. Not sure why. Then the next day almost 700 were reported.
Feel free to look at the google link provided above and draw your own conclusions on the data.
Thanks for doing this. Any chance you can add daily number of tests? That might help weed out bad data points.Worldwide, last Sunday total cases around the world were the lowest they had been in four days. Deaths were also down. Both went back up the next day.

Iirc, same happened last week. And the week before. I don't have the daya in front of me but if it wasn't a drop, it was a number significantly below what i had expected.It could be real but my concern is that the death rate also mimicked the new case behavior in its outlier-ness. They shouldn’t be well correlated on the same day.
I'm not reading an article that says that case counts are meaningless, when I know they aren't.Decide for yourself.
With varying degrees of lag in different places it might be hard to draw conclusions.Thanks for doing this. Any chance you can add daily number of tests? That might help weed out bad data points.
Definitely the exponential trend has been stopped. That's clear in the data. Once you see new cases start slowing down, ICU visits and deaths will soon follow. That's great news for medical professionals as they hopefully see the light at the end of the tunnel.That said, things are improving albeit slowly.
The numbers we are hearing out of the third world countries are simply not even close to accurate. This thing is spreading like wildfire. And I don't trust anything the communist nations and Russia have to say. Outside of nations like Germany, France, UK and Canada, I don't buy their reported stats.The last two days, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the city services have picked up over 500 bodies. This does not include the hundreds that are stacked at the hospitals.
A family in the area of our church plant, after waiting for 4 days for the body to be picked up, on the fifth day had no other choice but to bury their dead in a nearby field.
It looks like the curve is still rising.
It’s heartbreaking.
Last week, we handed out 250 grocery packs in Monte Sinai. We are planning to hand out at least 100 packs a week, as provisions come in.
Thanks for your prayers during this trying time.
Maybe religious hospitals don't report on Sunday.This makes me think something is going on with Sunday reporting. Cases and deaths shouldn’t be moving in concert and there should be smoothness in the trends, especially now that the numbers are relatively large.
Cases are directly related to the number of tests administered. We aren't testing a significant portion of the population. The actual number of cases is significantly greater than what is reported.Why is it meaningless ?
Correct, there are many countries where the info could be extremely inaccurate. I don't know if I think there is a "motive to under-report" cases though.As an example of how inaccurate our worldwide numbers are from other countries:
Ecuador on Worldometers.info - 3,646 cases - 180 dead
Then I read this post on Facebook from a missionary friend who lives and works in Ecuador (has for most of his life).

Everyone has a motive to under-report and the US has done the same thing at times. The goal is to limit fear and panic and keep the population acting as if everything is normal. That or they simply don't have the means to test and instill stay at home orders so they are left to the mercy of our natural means of fighting off the virus as a species.
Almost all of Africa is being hit and is likely in the same boat as countries like Ecuador. Our number of reported cases in the US is likely much too low, but that pales in comparison to the massively underrepresented numbers worldwide.
We've tested 1.7 million. The most in the world.Because we aren't testing a significant portion of the population.
Testing is sporadic at best in the United States.
irrelevant statWe've tested 1.7 million. The most in the world.
Thanks for posting this.Into the red zone is on msnbc now. Goes inside Italy.
The USA stunk at testing 3 weeks ago. But testing has ramped up significantly and kudos should be given to somebody for this.Because we aren't testing a significant portion of the population.

See the links posted above.The USA stunk at testing 3 weeks ago. But testing has ramped up significantly and kudos should be given to somebody for this.
The USA has performed twice as many tests as any other country. 1.7 million tests have been done.
I don't think "sporadic at best" is an accurate description of what's happening anymore.
We have tested 0.5%, Korea which had a 3-4 week head start has tested 0.9%. I suspected we'll lead the world in testing.irrelevant stat
What percentage of our population have we tested...now compare that to South Korea.
