It looks like this model is following the Weibull distribution.HotardAg07 said:

Amen. And what is weird is the posters here have created the exact same climate they say they claim to hate on Forum 16.Old Buffalo said:

Question - at what point does comparing the new daily numbers to the 3/26 projection line become a less valid comparison? No pandemic ever follows that sustained growth for too long, they will always bend, regardless of interventions. When do you plan to update that projection line to a more recent or upcoming date?Philip J Fry said:
No, I see the value in it. I was just curious as to how often you plan to update that projection line.Philip J Fry said:
I aleady have a new trendline for both.
But if you don't see the value in seeing we would have hit 90K dead yesterday if it weren't for the lockdown, I'm not sure what to say.
I would hope the case is you can't post a statement that is just an opinion, with no facts to back it up, without getting questioned on here. I haven't seen any posts where someone posted a fact, supported by data, and got attacked. The data may be questioned.dermdoc said:Amen.

You should add Belgium to that. It's getting pretty bad there.PJYoung said:

I get that, but what accounts for higher fatality rate? Is it being exposed for longer periods of time?PJYoung said:Texaggie7nine said:You should add Belgium to that. It's getting pretty bad there.PJYoung said:
The point of comparing Sweden to those other countries is that Denmark, Finland and Norway are their neighbors. Sweden hasn't gone to a hard lock down and the other countries have.
None of these short-term charts are meaningful. When Sweden has herd immunity and the others don't they should start to level out - the only main difference being Sweden didn't savagely wreck their economy along the way.PJYoung said:Texaggie7nine said:You should add Belgium to that.

Plenty of things produce different fatality rates, including the number of tests that were done. If Sweden isn't testing as much they could easily have many more people with Corona making that chart meaningless.Texaggie7nine said:I get that, but what accounts for higher fatality rate?

I would think if it was the case that Sweden had way more infected then, since the percentage of people who need hospitalization, is pretty similar, there would be way more people in hospitals and in ICUs in sweden than the other countries. Is there data out there to see if that is the case?Premium said:Plenty of things produce different fatality rates, including the number of tests that were done.

The main argument for one country having a higher fatality rate than another could only be made if their hospital systems are being overwhelmed. I haven't heard that is the case for Sweden?

good chart.
Do you have one like that for deaths by covid per 1 million people?
Quote:
Belgium has so far reported 33,573 confirmed cases including 4,440 deaths.
Of these total fatalities, 46 per cent were in nursing homes, the latest data showed.
It comes as the the country's stay-at-home order was extended until at least May 3.
Belgium is one of few countries in Europe that includes in its daily tally of coronavirus-related deaths all non-hospitalised people who displayed symptoms of the disease even if they had not been confirmed as having had it.
That may help to explain why Belgium, a small country of about 11.5 million people, now has the fifth highest coronavirus death toll in Europe, ahead of more populous nations like Germany and the Netherlands.
Highlighting fears that many other nations may be under-reporting deaths, Britain released data on Tuesday suggesting its true death toll is probably much higher than government figures, which only record hospital fatalities.
With an overall mortality rate of around 12 per cent, Belgium would be the hardest-hit small country in Europe, according to data.
A veteran Belgian politician, Didier Reynders, described the number of nursing home deaths as worrying.
Other countries may well be in a similar situation but it is simply not reflected in their statistics.
In the Netherlands, for example, a large number of coronavirus deaths might not have been reported as such because of under-testing in nursing homes.
Italy, with the second highest death toll in the world after the United States, only started testing in nursing homes last week.
France includes nursing home deaths in its official tally of fatalities but they need first to have been tested and confirmed as having had COVID-19, the disease caused by coronavirus.
The same is true of Spain, meaning that those dying at home or in nursing homes with related symptoms - but untested - are not included in official figures.
My wife's grandfather (Class of 33) was in assisted living for about 3 years. Just remembering back, residents do move around a good amount, staff rotates a lot, comingled dining halls. Lots of pathways and imagine telling the mobile ones "you have to stay in your room". Hell, Grandfather needed his driver's license taken away from him because he was becoming a danger and he was pissed about that for months and months.Texaggie7nine said:
Wonder how it passes around nursing homes so fast. Is it from the workers that pass it on? Or is it just going through the air from resident to resident.
