FWIW... here is great website tracking all virus cases/data worldwide

From Johns Hopkins.

The sad thing is there is a category listed with the country data called "Cruise Ships"

The first 44 cases in America were because of that cruise ship.

Thanks for posting.

Been on that daily since January 30. Fascinating resource

it loads much slower now (if it fully loads at all)

Wish it would fully load because I can’t see the recovery rate chart anymore.

I had the same problem on my phone. I switched to my desktop / laptop and it works fine (loads fully).

Yeah - happened on my laptop.

Here’s another site. Lots of info, just not as cool looking

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/

 

[ericstratton-rushchairman]

Yes... the laptop version is fully functional on my end as well

 

[GreggK]

I have following this since January as well. It is a great source and updated daily.

My wife and I were booked on a cruise out of Port Canaveral that would have left last Saturday. We spent Thursday night in St. Augustine and planned to drive to Cocoa Beach the next day. Carnival sent us an e-mail offering $200 in on-board credit for staying on the ship. That sent off a warning and we decided to cancel ( and get all our money back as cash or credit for a future cruise) People are placed in unfamiliar decision making positions nowadays..

Some ArcGIS online mapping platforms, like this one, won't work on phones and tablets. Also, for this site to have value, you have to have confidence in the underlying data. Without accurate data, it's nothing more than a cool online mapping site.

Also this is from Johns Hopkins, which is legit and updated many times a day

This feels kind of like some cheesy Mark Wahlberg movie where I should be loading my family up in the car and driving as far away as possible. Nunavut is looking kind of good right now.

Me too. It’s been popping up all over the country. Lady from Ohio told me there’s 24 suspected cases in Columbus.

Is there a similar data chart for the flu? I constantly fluctuate between thinking this is completely overblown, or there must be some insanely devastating data that is not being shared. A visual comparison of facts would help.

I have to believe there have been historical cruises where someone had the flu and within weeks dozens of people were sick. Yet the world didn’t go into quarantine. Why is this really being treated so differently? Is it transmitted at a far greater rate than experts are disclosing, or is it extreme overreaction?

 

[KnightSlayer]

So far we've done fewer than 10000 test. South Korea is averaging 12,000 test per day. Why aren't we doing better?

Studies have shown this is 10x more powerful then the average flu..

Flu data is more estimated

Is the panic overblown? I don't know. Consider 61 million infected and over 12,000 dead in the US alone. Do you remember the panic? The schools shutting down? The sports leagues shutting down? Neither do I. That was H1N1 in 2009-10. I'd love somebody to explain why we have media driven panic now but not then. Overblown? You decide. I have.

If you're sick stay home. If you don't feel well stay home. If you are in an at risk group or even if you aren't be responsible. Wash your hands thoroughly. If you are actually scared, stay home. Otherwise live your life.

Last count 31 people have died in the US. Yes it will go higher but right now odds are over 14 times higher you die from a lightning strike. I don't stand under a tree during a lightning storm. I think my odds are pretty good with Covid-19.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Can you imagine what will happen when this baby hits Africa? Oh man!

Heat and humidity are not good places for this, so that’s really helpful. The droplets can’t travel as far in heavier air and the heat degradates the virus even further.

That’s fortunate as Chinese companies work all over the 3rd world now hoping to gain influence through infrastructure building and other activities.

Hell, I’m hoping for early hot weather in Texas to blunt this thing

Yeah, because a virus with a .02% death rate is exactly the same as a virus with a 2% death rate. If 61,000,000 Americans get this virus, 610,000 to 1,220,000 people could die.

 

[ForesterGump]

I'm trying to wrap my head around where people are coming up with these wild speculations of massive infections. Looking at the data, the highest infection rate for the population is Italy. They're at 206.1 cases per million people. If we come to that point, the infection rate would be 72,000 cases. Granted, that would be taxing on the medical infrastructure. But, its a far cry from being 61 million cases.

Also, if you look at S Korea where testing is really high, they have an infection rate of 153.5 cases per million population. That would come in about 54,000 cases and would include a lot of mild cases.

That's not to say that there aren't hot spots in areas of a country. The US hot spots are Washington and NY. Washington is at a 61.2 infection rate (probably higher with more testing), and NY is at 11.27.

Where's my logic wrong?

 

[WPTLION]

Your logic isn't wrong. I'm sure we are probably at least double of people infected. I saw somewhere yesterday where there is a number for people they think might be but aren't in the total yet because the test isn't confirmed yet. Obviously if you include them the mortality rate plummets.

 

[crazytoadie]

Looks like coronavirus registered in Italy around February 21 and peaked on March 9. So, 17 days before the number of new cases started to decline.

They say the US is 10 days behind Italy.

Italy actually reported 2,313 cases on March 11 so still peaking there.

 

[ericstratton-rushchairman]

Boston May be the next Italy.,.

Nothing personal - but your "analysis" that "CoronaVirus peaked in Italy on March 9th" would get an F in any statistics class.

You can't make conclusions based off of ONE data point!!!!!!!

As some else said, Italy had a very large number (2300+) on March 11th.

The SARS death rate was 9.63%. The MERS death rate was 34.45%. Both WAY more than the speculated rate for covid-19. Do you remember the panic? Neither do I. If you are that worried, stay home.

Ironically, that’s why people weren’t as worried. SARS and MERS manifested itself and killed much quicker than COVID19. It killed its host too quickly to allow for mass infection. Ebola is similar.

 

[scooter10]

I’ve noticed this a few days ago and that map confirms it. How come there are relatively few cases in Russia?? That seems very odd to me. Any explanations out there??
