Since we are increasing the numbers of tests performed (I think), this is good news. Means they’re finding fewer cases out of more samples.
the percentage of positive cases found each day keeps going up
it was over 40% yesterday
At best we are in lockdown for the entire month of April, but I think it’s going until June.
However, even more complicated than going on to lockdown is how to come off of lockdown.
How do you take the whole country off of lockdown?
It can’t be done in a day.
Yes, getting into today's numbers, it looks like an increase to around 21,000 new cases. Almost always Monday shows a good sized jump over Sunday. The death rate is increasing, now it's 1.84% percent of identified cases.
Not as bad as the worst possible cases, but still not good.

Over the past 24 hours, the U.S. reported 23,415 new cases of coronavirus and 593 new deaths, raising the total to 163,932 cases and 3,138 dead
It’s hard to determine if new cases is due to spread or increased testing or a combination of both. New deaths seems more final.
Counting raindrops.
The number of new daily cases over the last five days is getting smaller.
March 29 numbers were updated this morning. It was not a drop but was a drop in the rate of increase.
It looks similar tonight for the 30th with decreased rate of increase. Will wait for morning to see his final number.
What this bar chart shows is the rate of increase decreasing, that is, to peak fairly soon. If the trend holds.
On the Hopkins site, the numbers have been bouncing up and down, but still trending up... Basically, at the same rate, except for a one-time big jump when testing expanded.
New deaths seems more final.
there is a lag in deaths
average death from start of symptoms is like 18 days or something
This is why this has to go on through April - to get it to roll over, get a large reduction in number of active cases so that remaining spread can be contained and managed.
We better keep shut down until Nov 4. The deep State wants to keep us safe.
I don’t buy it. They aren’t “testing more” - they simply do not have the # of tests for all people.
How many people are out there with symptoms that haven’t been tested? No kits, no tests.
Sorry, this is hogwash.
As soon as an antibody test is available, I’ll be one of the first in line to take it.
One day, I dunno. I mean it’s better than going up but still it’s just one day. My friend works IT at a hospital and told me just this evening their intake numbers fly all over the map. Reporting is really inconsistent.
I think you’re right. The number dipped on Sunday the 22nd as well, then went back up the next day.
It will be done in phases, if only for psychological reasons. But we locked down fairly quickly, we can open up fairly quickly.
Saturday was well over 700.
They went right back up there today
NY state numbers
Mar 30 14,108 tested 6984 new cases
Mar 29 16,426 tested 7195 new cases
