This is great stuff. Thanks. What are the dates that correspond to Week 1, Week 2, etc in the x axis?

Not sure. Too lazy to find out. Likely the first full week of the year or Jan 5

Nice job. I am looking forward to serology results.

Can you give context on the absolute numbers

The US +25 population is roughly at 222.1M, the 0.4% delta means 888,392 cases

This makes sense to me. I just can't imagine that 8,000 people coming into LAX

Yep. I've been wondering about Las Vegas. We have huge numbers of Chinese...

But why did we have so many negative tests of symptomatic people in Feb when we started testing?

chago04

4/10/20 12:57pm

How accurate were those tests at that time?

webster242

4/10/20 12:59pm

Did we have mass testing in CA in Feb? (honest question, I don't know).

BYUCougarsFan

4/10/20 1:00pm

Not really but then wouldn't there be more positive tests coming back now?

chago04

4/10/20 1:01pm

I don't think so. If they already hit the peak, then several are immune. It

That antibody test will be a gamechanger. We will learn a lot when that test goes widespread.

chago04

4/10/20 1:04pm

Agreed.

BYUCougarsFan

Because any tests in February were given to us by China and the WHO and they

I can buy that but I do have a question...

These numbers are nationwide

I've had the same question throughout this process. It would seem that we

Zinger

The percentage positive is way high in hot spots 30-40%

bythenumbers

4/10/20 1:06pm

Is that positive tests, or people diagnosed with COVID-19?

bluecheese

4/10/20 1:19pm

Positive tests as I understand it

bythenumbers

4/10/20 1:29pm

Testing criteria isn't the same in those hot spots, usually tests are for people about to be hospitalized there.

chago04

4/10/20 1:20pm

This is a great read that kind of goes along with what you are saying

therockbenz

Very interesting. Thx

Bad interpretation, and incomplete data

Sumguy

The arrival happened on two fronts from two different places.

Troy McClure

An article about it (there are tons out there).

Troy McClure

4/10/20 1:12pm

Yeah, I linked to that one in the post

bythenumbers

4/10/20 1:17pm

So underreported Covid deaths being attributed to "flu" perhaps before

Yes, it impacts deaths as well

This is consonant with what I want to be true

sorry, this post was meant for the OP

This doesn't tell as much about absolute numbers

Not really. I think the genetic analysis I've seen is saying the same thing

Possible supporting data

Really interesting data. I downloaded it and looked at the state level data.

Coach's Dad

Yeah I think the economist looked at that

Can you explain the source of the data a little more?
