May 15th US Covid Data

The seven-day moving average continues its downward trend. A reminder, again, that outside of a few major metropolitan centers, which are showing large declines, Covid is growing and, as restrictions are eased, it is likely that a second wave will occur.

Note that the raw data and the three-day moving average has a heart-beat pattern. Different days of the week have higher and lower numbers predictably, this is mostly an artifact of testing and reporting.

It’s too early to tell if long-term averages for the nation are starting to go up again, but trends will be clearer after a week. The NY Times is showing trends significantly rising in the US, if you pull out NYC, New Orleans, and Detroit data.

May 13th US Covid Data

Our benefactor notes that while the federal government and some states are pushing to reopen, most counties and municipalities are not, and are trying to do the right thing. If there is a second wave, they expect it will be in large part because ordinary workers are starving, can’t pay rent, and have to go back to work.

Today’s numbers are slightly higher than Tuesday’s but Tuesday is usually the lowest day in a week.

May 12th Covid Numbers

Our benefactor writes:

We have crossed 80,000 deaths. Tuesdays are always the lowest numbers, but these are showing a significant decline, very much driven by NY, the numbers for which are way down.
