With the holidays, all the yahoos throwing maskless parties, and the slow rollout of the vaccine, we're gonna hit 4000 deaths/day in a few weeks.

8. USA [687] +17 -2nd wave coming now with 30% increase in daily infections over the last 2 weeks. Death rate is beginning to accelerate.
9. Mexico [676] +20
10. UK [652]  +15 -2nd wave
11. Italy [612] +10 -2nd wave
12. Argentina [607] +57 -is this real? or is this continued data corrections week to week? Anyone know the details from Argentina?
13. Panama [599] +18
14. Sweden [586] +2   ***I would note that Sweden is having a second wave in infections just like the rest of Europe, but they are NOT YET having a second wave in deaths due to Covid. If Herd Immunity was the original goal, the numbers clearly show that this has not been achieved for Sweden.
Per my nonofficial read of the data, they are about 2 weeks behind France and 3-4 weeks behind Spain for the death count to start rising.

4. Brazil [757] +13
5. Chile [751] +19
6. Bolivia [747] +5
7. USA [725] +21 death rate accelerating. Each death/million translates to about 300 USA deaths in the previous week.
8. Mexico [720] +22
9. Argentina [717] +54 -still rising rapidly. Technically first wave in Argentina, I think
10. Ecuador [716] +5

16. Sweden [593] +7 -second wave has begun in Sweden as well as predicted above (If this follows the rest of Europe, it will lead to 12 and then 25, and then 50 in the next 4-5 weeks)
 
***Biggest movers last week were Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and France. Italy and UK close behind. Meanwhile I'm all but certain that on average at least 1000 US citizens will be dying daily for at least the next 6 weeks.

16. Sweden [604] +11 -second wave accelerating in Sweden continues. I predicted 12 (we got 11 deaths/million this week, if trend continues will be 23-25 or so next week, and then approx 45-50 in the 2 weeks after).

*Note that I'm not including smallish countries less than 4 Million or so. This is fairly arbitrary on my part. The next up and coming country is Czechia with >10 million people and a death rate of >550/million.

7. Brazil [786] +17
8. Chile [780] +13
9. USA [774] +28 with concerning acceleration (+>40 next week?). I feel that half the country is trying to mitigate things, so that leads to a lower acceleration rate than the 2nd wave in Europe.

16. Panama [717] +26

***Czech Republic's rise is alarming, but this is not an isolated issue. ALL of eastern Europe is getting crushed right now. North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Armenia would all make the list above if not for my arbitrary 4 million people population cutoff. Why are these trends never covered in our national news?

*****Russia update. Those liars. Russia documents about the same number of Covid cases as France (2.3 million), but has a death rate that is 3x lower/million. If you buy that, I have an oceanfront property to sell you in Utah.

6/11/20 -113038 [5353]
6/18/20 -117783 [4745] -continues to improve
6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.

10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.

It's quite jarring, going from the 'Race from $2M to $4M ... And Beyond' thread to this one! 

e.g. the latest from the Race thread -
I've already gained more this week, perhaps this morning, than we'll spend this year.  Trying to wrap my head around the numbers is numbing. 

I think I'll take the dog for a walk to clear my mind.

Wow.  The one that blows me away is the realization I'm up almost 10 years of spending since the March low.  A freakin decade of expenses for the entire family. And of course that was after an initial, almost immediate, drop of 6 years worth before that bounce back.  I had already reduced risk last year as I was hitting FI, but its still quite a bit of whiplash...

What a crazy time to be alive!

6. USA [1015] +65 -2nd wave hitting a plateau? Lets home the vaccines start decreasing the death rate in about 2-3 weeks as the most at risk folks get the vaccine 1st.

Only AFTER hitting a new high with a surge on top of a surge.  We expect to see a post Christmas surge, with so many people ignoring the warnings and traveling.  Hospitalizations and deaths lag infections.  The vaccine takes weeks between two doses and additional time for the immune system to build 95% immunity, and the roll out is going slower than planned, so as the experts are saying, it's not going to save us from this surge.


Told you so.

Why exclude Slovenia (1,417 deaths per mill), Bosnia & Herzegovina (1,310), North Mecedonia (1,244)?

These countries all have more than 1 million population, which appears to be the cut-off you've specified?

Although he has specified the cutoff at 1 million each week, it should read as 4 million

Yes. Typo. I meant 4 million. Sorry, no copywriters over here to correct these.

4/30/20 -61547 deaths of 230615 deaths worldwide = 26.69%  ---> Why isn't this going down yet? Because we are STILL SURGING as a country despite measures to open up the economy right now.

Per my nonofficial read of the data, they are about 2 weeks behind France and 3-4 weeks behind Spain for the death count to start rising.

Top 16 (only including countries >1 million people) with [deaths/million] as of 11/5/20

1. Belgium [1062] +100 -2nd wave another HUGE bump for Belgium
2. Peru [1047] +11
3. Spain [823] +65 -2nd wave HUGE acceleration as well
4. Brazil [757] +13
5. Chile [751] +19
6. Bolivia [747] +5
7. USA [725] +21 death rate accelerating. Each death/million translates to about 300 USA deaths in the previous week.
8. Mexico [720] +22
9. Argentina [717] +54 -still rising rapidly. Technically first wave in Argentina, I think
10. Ecuador [716] +5
11. UK [702]  +20 -2nd wave still accelerating
12. Italy [665] +38 -2nd wave
13. Panama [633] +19
14. Colombia [627] +25
15. France [598] +50 -2nd wave HUGE acceleration
16. Sweden [593] +7 -second wave has begun in Sweden as well as predicted above (If this follows the rest of Europe, it will lead to 12 and then 25, and then 50 in the next 4-5 weeks)
 
***Biggest movers last week were Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and France. Italy and UK close behind. Meanwhile I'm all but certain that on average at least 1000 US citizens will be dying daily for at least the next 6 weeks.

Top 16 (only including countries >1 million people) with [deaths/million] as of 11/12/20

1. Belgium [1158] +96
2. Peru [1056] +9
3. Spain [858] +35 -rapid deceleration in pain is encouraging
4. Brazil [769] +12
5. Chile [767]+3
6. Argentina [757] +40 -still rising rapidly.
7. USA [746] +21 again
8. UK [739] +37 -2nd wave still accelerating in the UK
9. Bolivia [751] +4
10. Mexico [741] +21
11. Ecuador [727] +11
12. Italy [711] +46 -2nd wave still accelerating in Italy
13. France [651] +53 -2nd wave
14. Colombia [650] +23 -decelerating in Columbia
15. Panama [633] +18
16. Sweden [604] +11 -second wave accelerating in Sweden continues. I predicted 12 (we got 11 deaths/million this week, if trend continues will be 23-25 or so next week, and then approx 45-50 in the 2 weeks after).

*Note that I'm not including smallish countries less than 4 Million or so. This is fairly arbitrary on my part. The next up and coming country is Czechia with >10 million people and a death rate of >550/million.

5. Italy [792] +81 -2nd wave with scary acceleration (Italy all the way up to #5 from #12 in just 1 week!)
6. UK [791] +52 -2nd wave
7. Brazil [786] +17
8. Chile [780] +13
9. USA [774] +28 with concerning acceleration (+>40 next week?). I feel that half the country is trying to mitigate things, so that leads to a lower acceleration rate than the 2nd wave in Europe.
10. Mexico [769] +28
11. Bolivia [756] +5
12. Ecuador [736] +9
13. France [715] +64 -2nd wave with continued acceleration

15. Colombia [726] +21
16. Panama [717] +26
17. Sweden [692] +38 -still accelerating in Sweden.

***Czech Republic's rise is alarming, but this is not an isolated issue. ALL of eastern Europe is getting crushed right now. North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Armenia would all make the list above if not for my arbitrary 4 million people population cutoff. Why are these trends never covered in our national news?

*****Russia update. Those liars. Russia documents about the same number of Covid cases as France (2.3 million), but has a death rate that is 3x lower/million. If you buy that, I have an oceanfront property to sell you in Utah.

6/11/20 -113038 [5353]
6/18/20 -117783 [4745] -continues to improve
6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.
9/17/20 -196,912 [5744] -last 3 weeks have been fairly steady
9/24/20 -202170 [5258]

10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.
1/14/2021 -385503 [23603] -huge bump in the last week!!! Way worse than NYC in the Spring of 2020. Avg 3300+ deaths per day.

Looking at the numbers locally (in my county and the one where my parents live, 15 miles away) there is a big bump in positive test results starting five days after Christmas. It's fairly obvious why the numbers are surging again. :-(

*Data Dumps in Bolivia and Ecuador puts them both in the Top 10 all of a sudden. Maybe they compile data on a quarterly basis or monthly basis? Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador have all now hopped over the USA.

13. Panama [599] +18
14. Sweden [586] +2   ***I would note that Sweden is having a second wave in infections just like the rest of Europe, but they are NOT YET having a second wave in deaths due to Covid. If Herd Immunity was the original goal, the numbers clearly show that this has not been achieved for Sweden.
Per my nonofficial read of the data, they are about 2 weeks behind France and 3-4 weeks behind Spain for the death count to start rising.

4. Brazil [757] +13
5. Chile [751] +19
6. Bolivia [747] +5
7. USA [725] +21 death rate accelerating. Each death/million translates to about 300 USA deaths in the previous week.
8. Mexico [720] +22
9. Argentina [717] +54 -still rising rapidly. Technically first wave in Argentina, I think
10. Ecuador [716] +5

16. Sweden [593] +7 -second wave has begun in Sweden as well as predicted above (If this follows the rest of Europe, it will lead to 12 and then 25, and then 50 in the next 4-5 weeks)
 
***Biggest movers last week were Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and France. Italy and UK close behind. Meanwhile I'm all but certain that on average at least 1000 US citizens will be dying daily for at least the next 6 weeks.

1. Belgium [1158] +96

14. Colombia [650] +23 -decelerating in Columbia
15. Panama [633] +18
16. Sweden [604] +11 -second wave accelerating in Sweden continues. I predicted 12 (we got 11 deaths/million this week, if trend continues will be 23-25 or so next week, and then approx 45-50 in the 2 weeks after).

*Note that I'm not including smallish countries less than 4 Million or so. This is fairly arbitrary on my part. The next up and coming country is Czechia with >10 million people and a death rate of >550/million.

6. UK [791] +52 -2nd wave
7. Brazil [786] +17
8. Chile [780] +13
9. USA [774] +28 with concerning acceleration (+>40 next week?). I feel that half the country is trying to mitigate things, so that leads to a lower acceleration rate than the 2nd wave in Europe.
10. Mexico [769] +28
11. Bolivia [756] +5
12. Ecuador [736] +9
13. France [715] +64 -2nd wave with continued acceleration

Top 15 (only including countries >1 million people) with [deaths/million] as of 12/3/20

1. Belgium [1456] +71 -2nd wave decelerating
2. Peru [1088] +9
3. Spain [979] +30 -2nd wave decelerating
4. Italy [961] +86 -2nd wave still peaking
5. UK [884] +46 -2nd wave still peaking
6. Argentina [863] +27 decelerating
7. USA [844] +32 -still high, relative deceleration may be Thanksgiving artifact, we shall see.
8. Mexico [831] +31 -still rising rapidly, but may have reached peak
9. France [824] +44 -2nd wave decelerating
10. Brazil [819] +14

12. Czechia [795] +72 ***Czech Republic acceleration over the last few weeks is very alarming.

14. Bolivia [764] +4
15. Colombia [726] +21
16. Panama [717] +26
17. Sweden [692] +38 -still accelerating in Sweden.

***Czech Republic's rise is alarming, but this is not an isolated issue. ALL of eastern Europe is getting crushed right now. North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Armenia would all make the list above if not for my arbitrary 4 million people population cutoff. Why are these trends never covered in our national news?

*****Russia update. Those liars. Russia documents about the same number of Covid cases as France (2.3 million), but has a death rate that is 3x lower/million. If you buy that, I have an oceanfront property to sell you in Utah.

6/11/20 -113038 [5353]
6/18/20 -117783 [4745] -continues to improve
6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.
9/17/20 -196,912 [5744] -last 3 weeks have been fairly steady
9/24/20 -202170 [5258]

10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.
1/14/2021 -385503 [23603] -huge bump in the last week!!! Way worse than NYC in the Spring of 2020. Avg 3300+ deaths per day.
1/21/2021 -406536 [21033] -still ridiculously high. Should come down with national infection trends and vaccine rollouts. Welcome to President Biden today. Apparently Mr. Trump did not actually have a vaccine roll out plan. How else to do you get 300 million people vaccinated? https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/21/politics/biden-covid-vaccination-trump/index.html

Not according to Fauci.

Author of that CNN article:


I'm not sure how you get to averaging 900,000+ vaccinations a day without a plan.
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/

Also, Biden's push for 100 million vaccinations in 100 days is already the rate we're approaching. He should be more ambitious.

Very interesting analysis discussing undercounting of excess deaths (comparing Urban to Mixed to Rural areas).

Their conclusion? If you don't look for Covid deaths, you won't find any!

9. USA [590] +16

14. France [472] +2
15. Colombia [433] +34

*Data Dumps in Bolivia and Ecuador puts them both in the Top 10 all of a sudden. Maybe they compile data on a quarterly basis or monthly basis? Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador have all now hopped over the USA.

13. Panama [599] +18
14. Sweden [586] +2   ***I would note that Sweden is having a second wave in infections just like the rest of Europe, but they are NOT YET having a second wave in deaths due to Covid. If Herd Immunity was the original goal, the numbers clearly show that this has not been achieved for Sweden.
Per my nonofficial read of the data, they are about 2 weeks behind France and 3-4 weeks behind Spain for the death count to start rising.

4. Brazil [757] +13
5. Chile [751] +19
6. Bolivia [747] +5
7. USA [725] +21 death rate accelerating. Each death/million translates to about 300 USA deaths in the previous week.
8. Mexico [720] +22

10. Ecuador [716] +5

***Biggest movers last week were Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and France. Italy and UK close behind. Meanwhile I'm all but certain that on average at least 1000 US citizens will be dying daily for at least the next 6 weeks.

14. Colombia [650] +23 -decelerating in Columbia
15. Panama [633] +18
16. Sweden [604] +11 -second wave accelerating in Sweden continues. I predicted 12 (we got 11 deaths/million this week, if trend continues will be 23-25 or so next week, and then approx 45-50 in the 2 weeks after).

*Note that I'm not including smallish countries less than 4 Million or so. This is fairly arbitrary on my part. The next up and coming country is Czechia with >10 million people and a death rate of >550/million.

6. UK [791] +52 -2nd wave
7. Brazil [786] +17
8. Chile [780] +13
9. USA [774] +28 with concerning acceleration (+>40 next week?). I feel that half the country is trying to mitigate things, so that leads to a lower acceleration rate than the 2nd wave in Europe.
10. Mexico [769] +28

***Czech Republic's rise is alarming, but this is not an isolated issue. ALL of eastern Europe is getting crushed right now. North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Armenia would all make the list above if not for my arbitrary 4 million people population cutoff. Why are these trends never covered in our national news?

*****Russia update. Those liars. Russia documents about the same number of Covid cases as France (2.3 million), but has a death rate that is 3x lower/million. If you buy that, I have an oceanfront property to sell you in Utah.

5/28/20 -100442 [6836 new deaths]
6/4/20 -107685 [7243 new deaths] -are we beginning to have a second wave?
6/11/20 -113038 [5353]
6/18/20 -117783 [4745] -continues to improve
6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.
9/17/20 -196,912 [5744] -last 3 weeks have been fairly steady
9/24/20 -202170 [5258]
10/1/20 -207331 [5161]
10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.
1/14/2021 -385503 [23603] -huge bump in the last week!!! Way worse than NYC in the Spring of 2020. Avg 3300+ deaths per day.
1/21/2021 -406536 [21033] -still ridiculously high. Should eventually come down with national infection trends and vaccine rollouts.
1/28/2021 -429870 [23334] -yup, still high. Since infections till death takes about 2-6 weeks, and infections appear to be coming down nationwide now (with hot pockets, of course). I suspect deaths should begin to come down in the next 2-6 weeks. Hopefully 2 weeks.

13. Panama [599] +18
14. Sweden [586] +2   ***I would note that Sweden is having a second wave in infections just like the rest of Europe, but they are NOT YET having a second wave in deaths due to Covid. If Herd Immunity was the original goal, the numbers clearly show that this has not been achieved for Sweden.
Per my nonofficial read of the data, they are about 2 weeks behind France and 3-4 weeks behind Spain for the death count to start rising.

4. Brazil [757] +13
5. Chile [751] +19
6. Bolivia [747] +5
7. USA [725] +21 death rate accelerating. Each death/million translates to about 300 USA deaths in the previous week.

***Biggest movers last week were Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and France. Italy and UK close behind. Meanwhile I'm all but certain that on average at least 1000 US citizens will be dying daily for at least the next 6 weeks.

16. Sweden [604] +11 -second wave accelerating in Sweden continues. I predicted 12 (we got 11 deaths/million this week, if trend continues will be 23-25 or so next week, and then approx 45-50 in the 2 weeks after).

*Note that I'm not including smallish countries less than 4 Million or so. This is fairly arbitrary on my part. The next up and coming country is Czechia with >10 million people and a death rate of >550/million.

7. Brazil [786] +17
8. Chile [780] +13
9. USA [774] +28 with concerning acceleration (+>40 next week?). I feel that half the country is trying to mitigate things, so that leads to a lower acceleration rate than the 2nd wave in Europe.

***Czech Republic's rise is alarming, but this is not an isolated issue. ALL of eastern Europe is getting crushed right now. North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Armenia would all make the list above if not for my arbitrary 4 million people population cutoff. Why are these trends never covered in our national news?

*****Russia update. Those liars. Russia documents about the same number of Covid cases as France (2.3 million), but has a death rate that is 3x lower/million. If you buy that, I have an oceanfront property to sell you in Utah.

Country to country data is taken from Worldometer Coronavirus Tracking site. I do not include countries with less than 4 million people. This is arbitrary on my part, but initially was a way of avoiding confounding trends just because, say, San Marino or Gibraltar didn't skew the results. Because of this cutoff, neither Solvenia, Bosnia, North Macedonia, or Montenegro (all in the Balkans) have made the top 15 list although they would qualify otherwise.

6/4/20 -107685 [7243 new deaths] -are we beginning to have a second wave?
6/11/20 -113038 [5353]
6/18/20 -117783 [4745] -continues to improve
6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.

10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.
1/14/2021 -385503 [23603] -huge bump in the last week!!! Way worse than NYC in the Spring of 2020. Avg 3300+ deaths per day.
1/21/2021 -406536 [21033] -still ridiculously high. Should eventually come down with national infection trends and vaccine rollouts.
1/28/2021 -429870 [23334] -yup, still high. Since infections till death takes about 2-6 weeks, and infections appear to be coming down nationwide now (with hot pockets, of course). I suspect deaths should begin to come down in the next 2-6 weeks. Hopefully 2 weeks.
2/4/2021 -451454 [21584] -continues to average >20K deaths per week in the USA. Hopefully begins to truly trend down this upcoming week, following the case data.

Hopefully. There’s still the problem of the new variants. They’re very tricky customers that keep on escaping quarantine in multiple countries.

I've seen some memes and people have told me that US deaths in 2020 were on par with 2019.  This is not true at all.  Here are total US deaths for the last few years.  As of today:

           All cause deaths
2017    2,813,503
2018    2,839,205
2019    2,854,838
2020*  3,331,682  (Covid official count 371,909)

* 2020 death count will grow... there is a lag in reporting death certificates to official count, so it usually takes a few months before the 2020 count is considered official.

Using 2019 as a baseline, excess deaths in 2020 are 476,844, or 16.7% higher than 2019.  So... deaths are up by more than just COVID!

I've also heard statements and seen memes "why aren't there any flu deaths in 2020?"

First, lets looks at recent years.  The CDC reports on Flu PLUS Pneumonia in one category, not just flu

            Flu + Pneumonia
2017    55,672
2018    59,120
2019    49,783

The source link below is showing the following stat as of today:
"Deaths involving Pneumonia, Influenza, or COVID-19": 548,845
"All Deaths involving COVID-19": 371,909
So doing the math, that would indicate the non-COVID Flu + Pneumonia is running at least 176,936, or over 3x the number from recent years!   That indicates either undercount of COVID or there is some super strain of Pneumonia going on last year.

Source for 2020:  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm   select "yearly" stats.  They seem to be updating this daily.

Yes JoJo, the 2020 final total CDC death count will pick up ALL the excess deaths that occurred via Covid (but not officially counted) or indirectly occurred due to the Covid crisis (someone had a heart attack but was too afraid to go to the ER, or someone died because the ICU was full of Covid patients and no more spots were available for critical care. 500,000 extra deaths DESPITE all mitigation efforts is a disaster of epic proportions.

Is there a source for deaths that might be indirectly related?  ie suicide, opioids/drugs.

For Australia our Bureau of Statistics has interim figures. Our death rate has decreased in 2020. However, diabetes, dementia and cancer went up...
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-16/deaths-from-respiratory-illnesses-lower-than-usual-amid-covid-19/13041324

They don't include suicide, but a study of one of our states, Queensland, showed that they were also tracking to be within the normal range...

Thanks @deborah !   I wonder about the mental health impact quite a bit...  This has been hard on most people, I think.  I cannot imagine how much harder it would be for someone with a history of mental health, anxiety issues, etc.

Meanwhile in Putin's Russia:

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-vaccine-updates-02-09-21/h_a9ad1544b917c6c0db84b2e6d60b4b64

"The figures also show a year-on-year surge in the country's overall mortality rate that suggests the numbers may have been majorly understated.
According to those new figures, a total of 2,124,479 people died in Russia in 2020, an increase of 323,802 over the previous year, or around an 18% year-on-year rise. That overall number -- the highest annual mortality figure recorded in Russia in over a decade -- reflects official reluctance to fully acknowledge the death toll. "

It's been known for some time that Russia's numbers were much higher than their official tally right? They said so themselves back in December:

Mexico's in a similar situation and also top 5 in total deaths now:

I posted this in the other thread, but thought some of you might take a look here as well:

--------------------------------------------

Let's do the math:

-330 million Americans
-74 million are children 0-18 yo (and at very low risk)
-That leaves 256 million of which are adults
-27 million confirmed Covid19 cases, I'll arbitrarily double that for unconfirmed cases, so 54 million have already had Covi19
-At current rate of 100K daily infections, perhaps another 6 million will be infected in the next 4 months or so (50 K x 120 days).
-46 million have already been vaccinated (at least once)
-We are vaccinating folks at about 1.5 million per day.

So.... 256-54-6-48 = 148 Million need vaccinations / 1.5 Million vaccinations per day = 98.7 days.

In 100 days, most everyone who wants a vaccination will be vaccinated at least once. Add 20 days and you'll have FULL vaccination of those folks. 120 days from now is ---> June 10th 2021

***If we are optimistic, we can consider that we will get better at vaccinating folks AND more vaccinations will become available. If this occurs, we may beat that projection by a month or so (148/2 million/day + 20 days = 94 days). If 80% of adults get vaccinated (or become infected), we will have 62% of the US population protected from Covid19. I believe 60-70% is the low end cut off for herd immunity.

****Once the studies are done showing it is safe and effective, the kids will get vaccinated in the fall. Hopefully before school starts in August. Boosters for all adults will likely be needed around that time as well.

*All data from NYTIMES, Wash Post, CDC websites.

This was fun, now pick it apart folks!

USA % of the worldwide population.  331 Million of 7.8 Billion =  4.24%

3/26/20 -1070 deaths of 22993 deaths worldwide = 4.65%
4/2/20   -5148 US deaths of 49236 deaths worldwide = 10.46%
4/9/20   -16129 US deaths of 94807 deaths worldwide = 17.01%
4/16/20 -32826 deaths of 143725 deaths worldwide = 22.84%
4/23/20 -46851 deaths of 185434 deaths worldwide = 25.27%
4/30/20 -61547 deaths of 230615 deaths worldwide = 26.69%  ---> Why isn't this going down yet? Because we are STILL SURGING as a country despite measures to open up the economy right now.

Per my nonofficial read of the data, they are about 2 weeks behind France and 3-4 weeks behind Spain for the death count to start rising.

9. Mexico [698] +22
10. UK [672]  +20 -2nd wave accelerating
11. Argentina [663] +56 -still rising rapidly
12. Italy [627] +17 -2nd wave accelerating
13. Panama [614] +15
14. Colombia [602] +25
15. Sweden [586] +0 -is second wave of deaths coming in the next 1-3 weeks for Sweden? We will see.
16. France [548] +27 -2nd wave accelerating

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Top 16 (only including countries >4 million people) with [deaths/million] as of 11/5/20

1. Belgium [1062] +100 -2nd wave another HUGE bump for Belgium
2. Peru [1047] +11
3. Spain [823] +65 -2nd wave HUGE acceleration as well
4. Brazil [757] +13
5. Chile [751] +19
6. Bolivia [747] +5
7. USA [725] +21 death rate accelerating. Each death/million translates to about 300 USA deaths in the previous week.
8. Mexico [720] +22
9. Argentina [717] +54 -still rising rapidly. Technically first wave in Argentina, I think
10. Ecuador [716] +5
11. UK [702]  +20 -2nd wave still accelerating
12. Italy [665] +38 -2nd wave
13. Panama [633] +19
14. Colombia [627] +25
15. France [598] +50 -2nd wave HUGE acceleration
16. Sweden [593] +7 -second wave has begun in Sweden as well as predicted above (If this follows the rest of Europe, it will lead to 12 and then 25, and then 50 in the next 4-5 weeks)
 
***Biggest movers last week were Belgium, Spain, Argentina, and France. Italy and UK close behind. Meanwhile I'm all but certain that on average at least 1000 US citizens will be dying daily for at least the next 6 weeks.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Top 16 (only including countries >4 million people) with [deaths/million] as of 11/12/20

1. Belgium [1158] +96
2. Peru [1056] +9
3. Spain [858] +35 -rapid deceleration in pain is encouraging
4. Brazil [769] +12
5. Chile [767]+3
6. Argentina [757] +40 -still rising rapidly.
7. USA [746] +21 again
8. UK [739] +37 -2nd wave still accelerating in the UK
9. Bolivia [751] +4
10. Mexico [741] +21
11. Ecuador [727] +11
12. Italy [711] +46 -2nd wave still accelerating in Italy
13. France [651] +53 -2nd wave
14. Colombia [650] +23 -decelerating in Columbia
15. Panama [633] +18
16. Sweden [604] +11 -second wave accelerating in Sweden continues. I predicted 12 (we got 11 deaths/million this week, if trend continues will be 23-25 or so next week, and then approx 45-50 in the 2 weeks after).

*Note that I'm not including smallish countries less than 4 Million or so. This is fairly arbitrary on my part. The next up and coming country is Czechia with >10 million people and a death rate of >550/million.

5. Italy [792] +81 -2nd wave with scary acceleration (Italy all the way up to #5 from #12 in just 1 week!)
6. UK [791] +52 -2nd wave
7. Brazil [786] +17
8. Chile [780] +13
9. USA [774] +28 with concerning acceleration (+>40 next week?). I feel that half the country is trying to mitigate things, so that leads to a lower acceleration rate than the 2nd wave in Europe.
10. Mexico [769] +28
11. Bolivia [756] +5
12. Ecuador [736] +9
13. France [715] +64 -2nd wave with continued acceleration

15. Colombia [726] +21
16. Panama [717] +26
17. Sweden [692] +38 -still accelerating in Sweden.

***Czech Republic's rise is alarming, but this is not an isolated issue. ALL of eastern Europe is getting crushed right now. North Macedonia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Armenia would all make the list above if not for my arbitrary 4 million people population cutoff. Why are these trends never covered in our national news?

*****Russia update. Those liars. Russia documents about the same number of Covid cases as France (2.3 million), but has a death rate that is 3x lower/million. If you buy that, I have an oceanfront property to sell you in Utah.

Country to country data is taken from Worldometer Coronavirus Tracking site. I do not include countries with less than 4 million people. This is arbitrary on my part, but initially was a way of avoiding confounding trends just because, say, San Marino or Gibraltar didn't skew the results. Because of this cutoff, neither Solvenia, Bosnia, North Macedonia, or Montenegro (all in the Balkans) have made the top 15 list although they would qualify otherwise.

6/11/20 -113038 [5353]
6/18/20 -117783 [4745] -continues to improve
6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.
9/17/20 -196,912 [5744] -last 3 weeks have been fairly steady
9/24/20 -202170 [5258]
10/1/20 -207331 [5161]
10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.
1/14/2021 -385503 [23603] -huge bump in the last week!!! Way worse than NYC in the Spring of 2020. Avg 3300+ deaths per day.
1/21/2021 -406536 [21033] -still ridiculously high. Should eventually come down with national infection trends and vaccine rollouts.
1/28/2021 -429870 [23334] -yup, still high. Since infections till death takes about 2-6 weeks, and infections appear to be coming down nationwide now (with hot pockets, of course). I suspect deaths should begin to come down in the next 2-6 weeks. Hopefully 2 weeks.
2/4/2021 -451454 [21584] -continues to average >20K deaths per week in the USA. Hopefully begins to truly trend down this upcoming week, following the case data.
2/11/21 -472450 [20996] -no trending down as of yet. I'm beginning to get worried that people are just testing a lot less, thus case counts are going down but deaths are not. Are we taking our feet off the gas?

If you look at graphs, the peaks in the deaths are trailing the cases by about 4 weeks.  So since the high in cases was January 12, I'm not surprised we are seeing reductions in deaths yet, but maybe next week.  Same commentary on the vaccinations - it takes both to be fully effective, so waiting for the lag to see impact given they've been given for only about 2 months and still a relatively small % of the population has been able to get the jab.

I posted this in the other thread, but thought some of you might take a look here as well:

--------------------------------------------

Let's do the math:

-330 million Americans
-74 million are children 0-18 yo (and at very low risk)
-That leaves 256 million of which are adults
-27 million confirmed Covid19 cases, I'll arbitrarily double that for unconfirmed cases, so 54 million have already had Covi19
-At current rate of 100K daily infections, perhaps another 6 million will be infected in the next 4 months or so (50 K x 120 days).
-46 million have already been vaccinated (at least once)
-We are vaccinating folks at about 1.5 million per day.

So.... 256-54-6-48 = 148 Million need vaccinations / 1.5 Million vaccinations per day = 98.7 days.

In 100 days, most everyone who wants a vaccination will be vaccinated at least once. Add 20 days and you'll have FULL vaccination of those folks. 120 days from now is ---> June 10th 2021

***If we are optimistic, we can consider that we will get better at vaccinating folks AND more vaccinations will become available. If this occurs, we may beat that projection by a month or so (148/2 million/day + 20 days = 94 days). If 80% of adults get vaccinated (or become infected), we will have 62% of the US population protected from Covid19. I believe 60-70% is the low end cut off for herd immunity.

****Once the studies are done showing it is safe and effective, the kids will get vaccinated in the fall. Hopefully before school starts in August. Boosters for all adults will likely be needed around that time as well.

*All data from NYTIMES, Wash Post, CDC websites.

This was fun, now pick it apart folks!

Very interesting!  Thanks.

Any prediction on WHEN the vaccination process will open beyond health workers, older Americans, etc?

54 million Americans >65 in the US.

Best guess is most of them will be fully vaccinated in about 6-8 weeks. So Gen Pop can get their vaccines in Mid April?

2/11/21 -472450 [20996] -no trending down as of yet. I'm beginning to get worried that people are just testing a lot less, thus case counts are going down but deaths are not. Are we taking our feet off the gas?

Nationwide positivity is down to 8.1%.  It was 10+% many days at the peak.

Thanks.  Hope you're right. 

Your prediction is right around my birthday.  That would be a wonderful bday present!  :)

Sharing some interesting info about the 3 waves/peaks in the USA...  (sorry, can't figure  out how to format my copy and paste info).  We know the number of cases was way understated in wave #1.  Comparing wave 2 to 3 says either the mortality rate is coming down or we are actually identifying more of the positive cases.   Note, these mortality rates are WAY overstated... multiple parties are saying the true # of cases is at least 3-4x the amount officially recorded, so the mortality rate needs to be divided by 3-4. 

   7 day averages…               
   Cases Peak      Deaths Peak         
   Date   Cases   Date   Deaths   # days    Mortality Rate
Wave #1   4/10/2020    33,106    4/21/2020    2,262    11   6.83%
Wave #2   7/25/2020    70,616    8/4/2020    1,183    10   1.68%
Wave #3   1/11/2021    255,260    1/26/2021    3,449    15   1.35%

Wave #3   1/11/2021    255,260    1/26/2021    3,449    15   1.35%

Really hard to do this math as we were test-constrained early on.  E.g. we were running at ~20% positivity nationally in parts of March and April.  This also suggest we were test-constrained for much of December & January as we were back at 10+% positivity levels.

I don't think we had much of a "wave #2" so much as the testing caught up to the demand.

Additionally, there are countless deaths that were never solved, especially in the first half of 2020.  A lot of vague "pneumonia-like" illnesses that were never diagnosed.  So the true death count won't be known for awhile as they sort through "excess deaths" and essentially they'll have to estimate a bunch of deaths that were never officially diagnosed as covid.  All that to say, I don't think "divide by 3-4" will get you the answer you're seeking.

I can see how you'd think there weren't two separate peaks if you only look at cases, but as you note cases reported depend on tests performed so it's not the best way to gauge the nature of this pandemic. It doesn't matter what the testing numbers are, dangerously sick people are still going to seek help at the hospital. Therefore, I think hospitalizations are far better than "cases", and those show an obvious double hump in spring, then summer, followed by a massive spike in Nov/Dec. If the spread of the virus had been mostly the same in 2020 and it only appeared to wane due to a lack of testing, then hospitalizations wouldn't have declined twice.

This shows the curves of the most common metrics from the start of the pandemic:


By summer 2020, there is a fair amount of similarity between the curves for "cases",  "hospitalizations" and "deaths" while testing was fairly constant or increasing so the data can't be too far off for any of the metrics at that point.

I'm still waiting for the spike from the Super Bowl and parties.  As of yesterday, numbers continue to drop off quickly, including in Florida.  We should know by the end of the week if there's a SB bump.

Taking a break from the wall of text, look above if you want the week to week country comparison details

Top 15 (only including countries >4 million people) with [deaths/million] as of 2/11/2021

1. Belgium [1851] +25
2. UK [1686] +67
3. Czechia [1658] +89
4. Italy [1535] +41
5. Portugal [1462] +138 *WHOA Highest riser of the week
6. USA [1455] +63 -still damn high consideration our vaccination progress. +1 point = 330 more US deaths/wk
7. Hungary [1394] +64
8. Bulgaria [1378] +45
9. Spain [1362] +71
10. Mexico [1308] +65
11. Peru [1289] +39
12. Croatia [1287] +39
13. Panama [1274] +42
14. France [1231] +44
15. Sweden [1220] +33

Country to country data is taken from Worldometer Coronavirus Tracking site. I do not include countries with less than 4 million people. This is arbitrary on my part, but initially was a way of avoiding confounding trends just because, say, San Marino or Gibraltar didn't skew the results. Because of this cutoff, neither Slovenia, Bosnia, North Macedonia, or Montenegro (all in the Balkans) have made the top 15 list although they would qualify otherwise.

6/25/20 -120,800 [3017] -*** corrected using Johns Hopkins data
7/2/20  -128,184 [7384] -
7/9/20 -132,498 [4314] -hospitals and ICU units hitting capacity in Florida, Texas, Arizona is not reassuring. I suspect deaths to pick up now. How high? Who knows?
7/16/20 -137,420 [4922] -trend is not encouraging at all. Here comes the slowly rising wave...
7/23/20 -143,224 [5804] -yup, getting into the 1K deaths per week territory again
7/30/20 -151,077 [7853] -pretty big bump. No sign of this slowing down as Texas and Florida just beat their previous deaths per day records.
8/6/20 -160,111 [9034]
8/13/20 -166,361 [6250]
8/20/20 -173,241 [6880]-about 1K per day on average over the last 4 weeks noted. At this rate we will have 250K deaths by election day on Nov 3rd.
8/27/20 -179,977 [6736] -remains about 1 K per day. No real change of late, unfortunately. Oh, and school has restarted in most areas of the USA.
9/3/20 -186,018  [6041] -trend *may be decreasing. We will see how things go.
9/10/20 -191,168 [5150] -trend is encouraging compared to South America. I would have taken this 2 weeks ago knowing school was about to start. Take the win.
9/17/20 -196,912 [5744] -last 3 weeks have been fairly steady
9/24/20 -202170 [5258]

10/8/20 -212420 [5089] -US is nothing if not consistent
10/15/20 -217155 [4735] -BUT, infection rates are rising again throughout the country. Get ready for the second wave.
10/22/20 -222234 [5079]
10/29/20 -227897 [5663] ->11% rise in US deaths in the last 7 days. I don't think this is artifact, I think things are accelerating.  We are averaging 75K new infections per day over the last week.  On a more positive note, case fatalities per infection appear to be coming down in the US.
11/5/20 -234225 [6328] -number of deaths continue to rise as expected. God help us if local health systems get overwhelmed again like in NYC, New Orleans, Detroit early in the Pandemic.
11/12/20 -241495 [7270] -back to 1K per day deaths and rising. 75K new infections per day now seems quaint. We have averaged over 130K in the last 7 days.
11/19/20 -250898 [9403] -10 K per week is next milestone. 6 weeks till New Years, will we hit 300K? Seems likely at this point.
11/26/20 -263218 [12320] -WHOA. Avg >170K cases per week. And it seems like no one except my family are following Thanksgiving distancing recommendations by the CDC. Keep your elders safe everyone!
12/3/20 -273746 [10528] -suspect reporting lag due to the holidays. If I'm right, then this will bump up a bit in the following week, and then come down, and then steadily rise for a while thereafter. We reached 100 K current Covid admissions nationwide with no sign of this slowing down. The previous peak was 60 K.
12/10/20 -289970 [16224] -!!!
12/17/20 -308098 [18128] -!!!!! That's the all-time peak, folks. Hospitalizations due to Covid continue to peak as well at 113 K.
12/24/20 -326271 [18173] -Well, at least it's not accelerating.
12/31/20 -343233 [16962]
1/07/2021 -361900 [18667] -New Peak again. Sadly these are just abstract numbers in my head right now. Not sinking in that 4K Americans died just yesterday.
1/14/2021 -385503 [23603] -huge bump in the last week!!! Way worse than NYC in the Spring of 2020. Avg 3300+ deaths per day.
1/21/2021 -406536 [21033] -still ridiculously high. Should eventually come down with national infection trends and vaccine rollouts.
1/28/2021 -429870 [23334] -yup, still high. Since infections till death takes about 2-6 weeks, and infections appear to be coming down nationwide now (with hot pockets, of course). I suspect deaths should begin to come down in the next 2-6 weeks. Hopefully 2 weeks.
2/4/2021 -451454 [21584] -continues to average >20K deaths per week in the USA. Hopefully begins to truly trend down this upcoming week, following the case data.
2/11/21 -472450 [20996] -no trending down as of yet. I'm beginning to get worried that people are just testing a lot less, thus case counts are going down but deaths are not. Are we taking our feet off the gas?
12/18/21 -490875 [18425] -okay, seeing some movement here in the right direction. Hospitalizations are down to 63K from 134K just 30 days ago.

Looks like the final US death toll might be around 550k. I remember placing a bet with a Mustachian a year ago and he said the death toll would be 1m and I said it would be under. Fortunately I was right.

final? covid will be around into 2022, I'll say over 600k... in reality it was likely over 500k weeks ago.

The sudden collapse in cases starting in early January (mostly) globally is bizarre enough for me to think that almost everything about the case pattern has been seasonally forced. Policies (lockdowns, masks) don't matter and (so far) vaccinations haven't mattered. To my knowledge, the seasonal component to influenza viruses and coronaviruses, is not well understood but has to do with amount of time spent indoors, temperature, vitamin D levels, humidity, etc. It's surprising to think we don't have a good working epidemiological model that takes these factors into account to make valid predictions... Maybe I'm wrong: who predicted what we've seen? I've been out of the loop for a while.
