That tells you that screening procedures and test availability are not even close to uniform across regions and time periods, and comparisons of "case counts" across regions and time periods are rubbish.

I see A LOT of opinions about how much of the US population has had Covid.
Has anyone seen could random pop studies on what the actual % is?
I don't even think we know if Antibody testing is a good way of measuring this. It seems at least some number of people who tested PCR positive, and thus had COVID, test negative for antibodies a month later.goodAg80 said:

I'll agree with you that raw case counts aren't the best metric, but the focus here is on trend.Keegan99 said:

HUGE difference in deaths. Very good information.

Interesting that, in Italy, Daily New Cases peak and Daily Deaths Peak occurred approximately 5-7 days apart, not with a "lag" of two weeks as would be expected. Maybe early on, patients died more quickly in Italy because no one knew how to treat it?

CDC officials estimated up to 23-24 million last night. From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-cases/coronavirus-may-have-infected-10-times-more-americans-than-reported-cdc-says-idUSKBN23W2PU
Ok. Here's your list:Aggie95 said:
so that would imply a 0.3% fatality rate?
maybe we should make a list of causes of death that exceed 1.2 Million per year and see what kind of precautions are taken.

The bars are the number of tests run, line is hit rate.
