The COVID Tracking Project obtains, organizes, and publishes high-quality data required to understand and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. We will do this work until official national sources take over and publish comprehensive testing and outcomes data.
In early March, two journalists at The Atlantic, Robinson Meyer and Alexis Madrigal, built a tracker for their COVID-19 testing investigation. Separately, Jeff Hammerbacher, Founder and General Partner at Related Sciences, built a tracking spreadsheet. The two efforts came together March 7, and made a call for volunteers, and the COVID Tracking Project was born.
Alexis Madrigal now leads the project. Jeff Hammerbacher has mostly returned to his work and we send eternal gratitude his way. Erin Kissane is our managing editor. Our team now includes more than 100 volunteer data-grabbers, journalists, scientists, visualization specialists, designers, project managers, and many other great people. We can't list them all for privacy reasons, but here are some of our stalwart contributors:

Great chart.
An absolute number version would be great too.
Super low death rate. That doesn’t fit the narrative. You’re going to get in trouble.
Here ya go!
Thanks.
Looks like the death rate of tested people is about 1.5%. The best data of all is that the positive tested numbers are flattening.
We’re turning the corner.
This is for the worst-hit state in the Union.

That is kind of ironic.
Data show that the peak has been reached a few days ago. New cases is the best metric.
If there are only about 17,000 currently hospitalized, why is the Comfort being asked to accept virus patients. NYC has not only the hospitals, but also the Javits Center and the Central Park field hospital. Seems as though there are more than enough beds at this time without infecting the Comfort.
We may be turning the corner in NY. Expect spikes elsewhere. Don’t be gamed by the players.
Great job!
This connects to the same data and more like 0 patients on ventilators (what the hell!)!

Very simple explanation. They reduced the number of incoming patients by opting to not treat “elective” surgeries. That’s how we got capacity, which is now excess capacity to need. Also please note how NYC closed many hospitals in the last 10-15 years.
Ventilators are problematic. Peeps with Wuhan need O2, and not so much pressure.
May I suggest that is because the death among those with negative test is vanishingly small?
Dividing deaths (5489) by those who tested positive (138,863) shows 4.0 percent. That assumes all the dead were tested, which is not likely the case.
That is still optimistic because among those tested positive in the last week or so, some are yet to die. Divide the total deaths on 4/7 by those tested positive on 3/1. Now it's 7.2 percent. The real number is is somewhere in between.
You are probably correct. The patients need 02 not to be ventilated.
My point is how those in charge of NYC and NYState
have bitched and moaned for about 2 months about not enough ventilators.
No history of patients on these charts of patients being ventilated.
Thanks for your comments!
Totally disagree … dang near impossible to read anything reasonable from, and I read (and make) charts for a living. You have items being double (and triple, even quadruple) counted. I know the poster did not make the chart, but to me this is just more of the babble of the press. Show us data while showing us nothing.
What do you think would be a good chart?
How many of the 200K negatives ended up in the hospital and died... only to be chalked up as a casualty of Covid 19?
