@Smokin Joe and that's just new York. I wonder how many other cities and states are doing the same thing?
Who knows? That's just it. If the 'standard reporting criteria' are logically flawed, the conclusions drawn from the data will be flawed, too.
We have had 159 positive tests out of 4980 tested here, 28 hospitalized, 43 recovered, 3 deceased. The infection to detection cycle appears to be six days, with two peaks in new cases a day apart, then another set six days later. Successive sets appear to be roughly double the previous one, but not all the data is in on the third one.
graph hereAll three who died had underlying medical conditions.
The most infected group is 30-39 years old, with those in their 20s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, roughly even tapering off younger and older.
Distribution of infections: hit counties with three major towns first. appeared to spread along interstate 94, US Hwy 2 (east/west corridors) and along US Hwys 85 and 83 (major N/S corridors) first, then gradually hitting other counties (23 of 53 countis have at least one positive).
