I worry when you're late: Are you OK?? And so I'm both glad to see this in my inbox this morning and sorry that it is such a stressful process for you--and for all of us. Thank you again for the work that you do.
Hey, Dr. Schmidtke! Thank you for these updates, they have been very helpful, reliable, and transparent. The work, time, and effort you put into this is very appreciated and well laid out.
In my own observation of the data is that the average delay between cases spiking and reported death numbers spiking is 2-3 weeks. If this spike started around 16-17Jun, we're into week four of said spike and deaths have not responded in proportional measure. Is that more due to hospital availability, the severity of cases, or who is getting sick?
Granted, I'm not a degreed scientist, the only claim I have there is as amateur meteorology nerd - though the parallels between the two fields of study are astounding at times.
I'm interested in your thoughts, thanks so much! - Josh
Dr. Schmidtke, thank you very much for doing this work for us.
Can you please confirm something for me? The "hospitalizations" number in your graph and from the GEMA daily reports (I assume these are the same data): are they hospitalizations specifically for the treatment of COVID-19, or (as an acquaintance suggested) are they all COVID-19-positive hospitalizations. That is, if I am admitted to the hospital for an elective procedure and, while there, have a positive test for the viral infection, am I included in that number even though I might not need acute treatment for the infection itself?
Would you mind making all graphs show from March 1? It’s hard to tell when some of them start in the middle of May and can be a little misleading. Thanks.
On the State graphic which shows % case increase, the legend doesn’t match all of the colors on the map - I find myself having to go back and forth to figure out where a given county falls. Is it possible to update the legend to include all colors on the graph?
