Maps, science, data & statistics tracking of COVID-19

[Regeneration]

All countries are going to look more like Italy and Spain than China because of access (or lack thereof) to N-95 masks.

And people who can't stay home. Like me at the moment, craving for some cereal.

The local grocery store sells N95 masks (for a rip off price).

Street is still full of people… moms with little kids.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:

- 6408 confirmed infected
- 140 fatalities
- 43 recovered - no change, since 4 days ago ???
- dunno number of those waiting for test results

- 3 cases detected in our jails
- Our government will perform over 10K tests to ascertain the number of infected in all retirement homes in a few select regions, with the intention to extend it to the whole country: the objective is to test both residents and workers in these residences since there are several of these homes already with cases.

The number of new cases increased much less VS yesterday but the unknown number of those waiting for tests results worries me.

Thanks the Fox article was amusing but the comments were gravy

If you click on the US in the left it shows on the right the total deaths.

More confirmed cases in Alaska on top of yesterdays it looks like. Three Alaskans have died.

Third Alaskan with COVID-19 dies, statewide case total rises to at least 114

A third Alaskan who previously tested positive for COVID-19 has died, and the total case count for the state has grown to at least 114.

Has there been any talk about this?

Governments worldwide are employing several strategies to track the spread of Covid-19, and the US too has started using anonymized location data from mobile ads to get a clear picture of the pandemic's evolution. The pretext of using surveillance to plan an appropriate response to the virus has also raised some questions about the persistence of these measures once the situation is under control.

US officials are using location data from mobile ads to map the spread of Covid-19

Earlier this month, there were reports that talked about the US government's intention to work with tech firms on tracking the coronavirus pandemic. This meant that authorities...

That is sooooooooooooooo awesome and sooooooooooo disconcerting at the same time, lol.

25% hospitalization.. that feels like a lot compared to the average??

Idk. I hadnt had an opportunity to check against other locations. However, if it is high, Louisiana has a disproportionate number of people with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancers. Many of the cancer clusters come from along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, due to a plethora of oil refineries and chemical manufacturing plants.

I’m sure these unhealthy numbers would explain the need for that high hospitalization?

I have read about it. This surveillance tech has been in place for quite some time so I would surmise it is already being used for intelligence based ops but likely just starting to be used to outbreak tracking.

That's not bad. Interesting take on things. Not as detailed as the Johns Hopkins Map though..

More and more morgue refrigerator trucks showing up in more hospitals. From Chicago to NY

one NY hospital has 5 parked outside

Spoiler: May not be appropriate for children

Update:
NY Bellevue Hospital Center has 8
NYU Langone Hospital has 12

It also depends which people are being tested. If only elderly or those with possible severe cases you get a high percentage of hospitalization/death rate. If you test everyone who sneezes, the percent would be much lower.

April first we shut down for 2 weeks. All non essential business to close, including the machine shop I work at. Booooo.

Plot twist, apparently we are an essential service, we aren’t closing..

All countries are going to look more like Italy and Spain than China because of access (or lack thereof) to N-95 masks.

Hospitals across the country were reporting thefts of N-95 earlier in the year. Even the NY Gov. commented during one of his press briefings at the beginning of the month.

"Not just people taking a couple or three, I mean just actual thefts of those products," Cuomo said.

Regarding the use of masks...

this was conducted 5 years ago, but I wouldn't expect the efficacy of cloth to have changed much in the last 5 years...

Interesting read and great timing. My wife and I were just debating this.

Bloody coronavirus the numbers just keep raising and this is the worst time for this.

Spring is when my allergies start to act up. And with the ADHD, I'm climbing the walls.
