We just passed up Michigan, and poised to pass up California, for #5 in cases among the states. - Nagidam - Tuesday, Apr 21, 20 @ 3:21 pm: Increased cases are bad but I think the governor is correct to focus on Hospitalizations, ICU patients, and Vent patients. All increased. 88 of 119 deaths are from Cook County which is just tragic. - Homeschool Prom King - Tuesday, Apr 21, 20 @ 3:48 pm: We’re at least making progress on the growth rate in new cases. It’s been slowing down considerably - the average case growth rate for the past 7 days has been about 5%, compared to 8% the week before and 12% the week before that. But we can’t celebrate that too much while testing is still so limited. And decelerating growth is still growth. - Captain Who - Tuesday, Apr 21, 20 @ 4:31 pm: Would it be possible to include a line for an average in new cases of as part of the graph? That would show a tens line. - Captain Who - Tuesday, Apr 21, 20 @ 4:31 pm: Sorry. A trend line - Captain Obvious - Tuesday, Apr 21, 20 @ 5:42 pm: Are all the deaths associated with a positive test for covid or like New York, are a significant number of them “assumed” to be covid deaths in the absence of a test result? Tried the google to discern this but no luck. - Pelonski - Wednesday, Apr 22, 20 @ 4:47 pm: Here is a chart of the newly reported cases for each day since March 17th along with a 14 day moving average. https://imgur.com/4YkOk2K Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
