also, so far for the 15 days in june the positive % is 4.5%, still not good enough for you, after all, its more than 1 day.
This has nothing to do with whether it's 'good enough' for me. I'm just trying to point out the accurate numbers. But since you seem to want to put it in those terms, is 8.3% for Florida today good enough for you?
covid 19 tracking project. like i said in a earlier post, they are behind on total numbers, but still can use the day to day ones.
no, 8.3% is not good enough, lets see what happens over the next few days, does it rise, remain, or drop.
i use worldometer for day to day, but they only give todays and yesterdays numbers, so to figure out total tests i need covid testing project.
Like I said, calculating a positive rate for a single day is probably not the way to go. Calculate it for a week at a time. If this week's positive rate in Florida is higher than last week's, then we're going the wrong direction.
Don't know why we didn't think of this cure earlier: Trump on coronavirus: 'If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any'
Updated stats from world o meter as of 8 am EDT. There were 13 states with a decrease in the number of active cases. There were 9 states with just 1-2 deaths and 13 states with 0 deaths.
I really think I had a number wrong yesterday and the 5.56 was really lower. Hard to see that big a drop in one day, but I will leave it where it is.
Saw this this morning. I know people say that our goal was flattening the curve and once we did that it was mission accomplished. Looking at these charts, flattening the curve should have been the bare minimum, not the goal. I think it also is relative to where the curve stopped. Had we stopped the curve sooner, then maybe that could have been a reasonable goal, but given where we peaked, not good enough IMO.
So if we close our eyes, cover our ears, and scream, we won't hear or see any bad news, and it will all magically disappear. Just how stupid and gullible does the President think we are? If we stopped testing, the cases wouldn't magically disappear. They'd still be there, only we'd have less to no knowledge about where the sick are located. And when you purposely have less knowledge about a subject, that's called wilful ignorance. I guess for the President, ignorance is bliss? It also goes to show just how much Trump cares about the American people, which is zero, as all Trump cares about is Trump. If Coronavirus numbers are up, and economic numbers go down as a result, it reflects poorly on Trump. So just ignore the Coronavirus numbers, the economy will rebound, and Trump will be happy. Who cares if this results in another hundred thousand or more American citizen deaths, right?
He might be on to something here. To cure disease, all medical tests must be stopped! No test = no disease. Brilliant. This may be part of his grand plan to find a cure for cancer.

Wow, great chart. There's two ways to look at this. On the surface, I'm shocked that we're not able to drive it down to a small tail l like these other countries. But at the same time, I think our geography works against us - the US is huge compared to European countries. You almost have to think of them like states. Hotspots are very regional here, but in a geographically small country, the impact is felt by every at once, so behaviors change in unison. So these Italy, Germany, and Spain go down, but if, for example, the UK and Poland are blowing up on a different timetable, a composite European chart would tend to prop up the curve. I expect a NY chart in isolation would look more like France or Spain. And blowups in different regions of the country (TX, AZ, FL) are propping up our curve.
I'm sure there are slight differences, but those nuances are more likely to affect amplitude rather than the shape of the curve.
