maybe but the graph is total cases.
DAY 12 was a large increase in daily cases from days before on that graph.

The rate of the increase in daily new cases in the US is decreasing

How much longer will the economy be shut down?

Almost all cases they are seeing now have had symptoms

Epidemic growth is measured by exponential growth. That's a function of the rate of growth
Indy Coug

Exactly and the time it takes to get to zero growth matters
TomPetty

Right but everyone has been talking about flattening the curve, that's the most

I'm not smart with this stuff. So are you saying this is a positive sign graph

A 40% daily growth rate would basically make the number of cases double in two days
Indy Coug

The question is the timing of the limiting rate of growth.
TomPetty
4/2/20 11:14am
Right, and I think the chart shows there is showing a fairly rapid drop in that rate right now
Indy Coug
4/2/20 11:16am
Fair enough and certainly good news

What is the rate of doubling of deaths?

Misleading to show % growth in TOTAL cases. Law of large numbers.
beantownblue

The law of large numbers would apply to something like the mortality rate
Indy Coug
4/2/20 11:00am
which uses total cases as its denomenator, does it not? But in any event, the rate of change is useful info
Bob Vance

how does that compare to the number of new tests?

You should use a three day rolling average, call it Social Defensive Efficiency

That'll smooth it but it really doesn't alter the slope very much
