Last week I was perusing the Indie thread and must have skipped through over 100 tunes but for some reason, one has got stuck and whenever there is a pause in whatever I am doing, it pops back in there. Get out of my head!
Some people have commented that they find this info useful and some would prefer it didn't clog up the main Corona thread. For those reasons I've decided to do a seperate thread which can happily be ignored by the main Corona thread contributers and read only by the stat nerds.
Can I ask that the general discussion about C-19 be kept in the Corona thread and leave this one just for updates and stats. Cheers.
Todays update
On the 16th April The USA or in particular New York decided to include non hospital deaths in their totals. They included an additional 3,778 deaths that went back to 11 March and added them to the April 14ths total so they went a little under the radar. New York has now made it mandatory to wear face masks so it will be interesting to see how their case and deaths numbers change in the coming weeks compared to other US states who don't follow the same guidelines.
France continues to do things slightly differently as they reported 17,164 new cases yesterday compared to 4,560 the day before. It's not the first time they have reported a large number of new cases, on the 3rd April they reported 23,060 compared to 2,116 the previous day and 7,788 the following day.
It's widely accepted now that Cases are an almost worthless stat as it depends on how many tests a country does. Deaths are also becoming unreliable as some countries include non hospital deaths and others don't. This article says that some of the unreported care home deaths are outnumbering the reported ones. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/13/half-of-coronavirus-deaths-happen-
Based on the total reported deaths for the last 7 days, the UK is continuing to look like the sick man of Europe.
USA - 17905 (inc 3778 deaths in New York care homes) UK - 5751 France - 5710 (inc care home deaths) Italy - 3891 Spain - 3868 Belgium - 2334 Germany - 1445
Looking back at the timelines, the UK was 16 days behind Italy on 28th March, was 15 days behind on the 2nd April and was 14 days behind on the 12th April where it remains today. The UK was 9 days behind Spain on 30th March, it increased to nearly 10 days but is now close to 9 days again.
