It doesn't shock you guys that in spite of all of those restrictions, bans and suspensions that there are still ~1,600 people dying a day? (With places like China misrepresenting their numbers to boot.)

People literally can't leave their homes in some Asian countries.

Like I said: You guys are the flat-Earth society for pathogens.

This whole rant after posting numbers without comment.

Yes 112 was for the day. Which is now 117

419 deaths total in the US

1st was a response to you for attacking me seemingly out of no where. I don’t even know what you thought I was trying to say by saying 112 deaths today. That’s a significant rise from yesterday so don’t know why I’d post that to downplay the virus.

2nd was the exact same post i did yesterday with updated numbers since OP didn’t do his daily update. Plus I’d like to be able to go back and look more than one day back.

3rd was clarifying my post that was misunderstood.

That "total deaths" curve looks a little too exponential... That's scary.

Yeah, the days above 1 under “more death statistics” is the scariest to me

Like we can believe China...

I do a monthly ad for a chain of furniture stores down there and I'm wondering if businesses are still open in Mississippi.

Is it Garret Furniture? My Uncle is one of the people running that. He's still going into work even though he had major heart surgery a few months ago.

Things in the US are not looking good, however the real epicenter now is Western Europe. For whatever reason, the fatality rate in Western Europe continues to climb despite more testing and more reported cases. This is a troubling sign.

Current fatality rate by region:

5.56%- Western Europe
1.50%- Northern Asia (excluding China)
1.19%- USA & Canada
0.82%- Scandinavia

I separated Scandinavia from the rest of Western Europe because so far the fatality rates there are vastly difference.

Region-by-Region look:


US & Canada

The fatality rates in the United States and Canada are almost identical. The US currently has a fatality rate of 1.19% compared to Canada's which is 1.36%.

It appears the NYC area is going to be the hardest hit area in the country. So far, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut account for over 59% of all cases in the US. So far, the fatality rate in these three states is running better than the rest of the country at 0.80% compared to 1.74% in the rest of the United States. Let's hope that low fatality rate holds, however as hospitals become overcrowded it may be difficult to keep that number below 1%.

Northern Asia- S. Korea, Japan, and Taiwan

I exclude China because their numbers are bogus. Currently this region had a 1.51% fatality rate, however that's mostly due to Japan. These countries have done a very good job keeping the total number of cases down. They are ahead of the rest of the world by about 2 weeks.

Scandinavia

Currently, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland have combined for a fairly low fatality rate.... however, there is a bit of variance. Finland is the lowest at just 0.14%. Denmark is the highest at 1.66%.

Western Europe

Western Europe is where things are by far the bleakest. Italy's fatality rate is currently 9.26% and it is rising most every day. Reportedly, in the hardest hit areas of Northern Italy, hospitals are turning away anyone over the age of 60 and sending them home. Spain is not far behind. Total deaths have risen over 2,200 and the fatality rate is 6.67%.

France (4.21%), the UK (4.94%), and the Netherlands (4.49%) are all tracking very similar to Italy, only they are further behind by a a couple of weeks. Belgium (2.35%) is starting to increase at a fairly rapid pace as well.

So far, Germany has the lowest fatality rate of every country in the world with at least 2,000 cases. Right now they have only 115 fatalities despite 27,289 cases (0.42%).

Here are some more interesting statistics for all countries (other than China) reporting at least 3,000 cases:

Countries Ranked by Fatality Rate (best to worst):

1. Norway- 0.39%
2. Germany- 0.42%
3. Austria- 0.52%
4. Portugal- 1.12%
5. USA- 1.19%
6. Sweden- 1.22%
7. S. Korea- 1.24%
8. Switzerland- 1.38%
9. Belgium- 2.35%
10. France- 4.04%
11. Netherlands- 4.49%
12. United Kingdom- 4.95%
13. Spain- 6.67%
14. Italy- 9.26%

Countries Ranked by Fatalities per Million Citizens (best to worst):

1. Germany- 1.37
2. USA- 1.41
3. Norway- 1.84
4. South Korea- 2.17
5. Portugal- 2.26
6. Austria- 2.33
7. Sweden- 2.33
8. United Kingdom- 4.26
9. Belgium- 7.59
10. France- 10.33
11. Switzerland- 13.63
12. Iran- 21.57
13. Spain- 47.18
14. Italy- 90.57

All-in-all, the US is in a much better spot than a lot of other countries. However, fatalities and number of cases are rising exponentially fast here in the USA so it will be interesting to see how this looks one or two weeks from now.
