Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Here's data by zip codes (note: they don't report if less than 9 cases). These, like the last are in order from worst to best. Zip codes where they haven't reported cases are excluded:
The columns are Cases/million zip population #cases 27261 20783 45559 1242 * 24402 21649 2131 52 21205 20737 21787 462 * 20093 20722 6022 121 19050 20784 30184 575 * 18622 20903 26206 488 16496 20782

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
I hope that I haven't overwhelmed you with this information. It's just that nobody reports it, just number of cases and no context in terms of population size.
Several other notes from my analyses of the situation. Latinos are carrying this infection in Maryland. Their increase in total cases (by percent) is about double that for whites and blacks (which is usually very close to identical.) Unfortunately, I can verify that this makes sense because we live in a heavily latino area (the terrible zip codes are, I believe, latino majority) and we see/hear them with their parties, walking in groups of multiple families together, and hear them racing in the streets. My wife (who is from Mexico) feels embarrassed by their behavior. Today the number of cases for latinos passed the number of cases for whites in the state for the first time, in spite of the fact that their population is only about one fifth of that of the whites. Second, it appears that the states in our "corridor" (all the top states with only one interloper, i.e., Mass., Conn., Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and D.C.) along with quite a number of other states, are almost not reporting the recovereds. A very rough calculation extrapolating from infections and recoveries in Germany (which hasn't had much reinfection) seems to imply that the actual number of "active cases" should be at most half the total number of cases. This is based on case numbers by date both for Germany and for the states in question. I hope to run a better regression analysis in the next few days. Note: I ranked the states by reported active cases over population, a stat that I haven't seen anybody give. I am trying to answer the question, if I see someone in the street, what is the chance that they are currently infected? |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
These are NOT available on the state website or the Coronavirus stats page from Worldometer.
In particular, the zip code information for the state site report the number of cases, not the proportion of the population that is infected (i.e. cases per million). For example, there may be two zip codes that have 100 cases. The state site reports that. But one zip may have 1,000 people in it and the other 40,000. In the first, 10% of the people have it, but in the second only 0.25% have it. This is NOT reported on the state site, and I feel it is a much more important stat than what they give. The same holds for the county information. For the zip codes, for example, the population sizes in Maryland vary from 10 to 70,174. Needless to say, I don't expect that the zip code with 10 people will have 9 cases any time soon. (They also don't report nursing home cases by zip, and I don't feel like having to sort it all out. There was an outlying zip code (high infection rate and not in P.G.) and I investigated. It turned out that 70% of their cases at that time were due to an infected nursing home in the zip code.) About 1/4 of all cases in Maryland are due to infections of residents or staff of elder care facilities. (Most of these are of the residents.) I have not adjusted for these in ranking counties as I don't have time. (I have no need to go into nursing homes right now, so infections in the residents shouldn't impact my chance of getting the virus if I go to that area and avoid the nursing homes.) Second: Worldometer has no reporting of active cases per million, only total cases per million. Your chance of getting infected in a given place have to do with ACTIVE cases per million, not TOTAL cases per million. If they're dead or recovered they won't infect you (unless it's a place like Mexico which declares them cured after about 4 days.) So I did these stats because they are NOT available from the Maryland website. I also have not reported on the stats I have from the Worldometer site, which, once again, fails to report active cases per (million) population, only TOTAL cases per (million) population. I work from the data provided by these 2 sites and some population information I got from other places (or backed into for the Worldometer site, using their info on total cases and total cases per million) and update (for my family) daily, trying to figure out the safest places to shop for food and deposit checks to the bank. As far as fixing the format, I've already got my hands full trying to teach my 6 kids who are at home all day, as well as trying to get back in shape (lose 30 lbs.) and figuring out how to get errands done living in the middle of a disaster zone, with 6 of the worst 12 zip codes in Maryland as our neighbors. (I'm 63 and a half and so have to be very careful.) As far as formatting, while I have a doctorate in Computer Science and have won an international math competition, I am very much on the theoretical side of things and don't know how to make things look pretty quickly. (My 18-year-old could, as he is very good at javascript, but I can never seem to get him to do what I ask. Go figure!) Anyway, I put this info up so people could make informed decisions on where to avoid right now, and because this info is not readily available. (I have better things to do than copy what others have done.) Finally, I found that while the Worldometer site reports what the states say are the active cases, a lot of the "active" cases should now be recovered. So I reported my estimate about the number of active cases, based on Germany's example, since Germany seems to both (1) declare people recovered, and (2) not have had a recurrence due to people being declared recovered too quickly. The very quick back-of-the-envelope estimate is that the number of active cases should be about half the number of total cases for all the states from Massachusetts down to D.C. (Mass, RI, Conn, NY, NJ, Pa, Del, Md, DC) based on the historical progression of the number of cases. Currently, Maryland is reporting 88% of their total cases as being "active" cases. This is a sham. (Since none of the definitions of "active" case are consistent with the reported numbers, I should probably report this number as "probable active cases", whereas the state's numbers may be appropriately dubbed, "number of people who have been infected who have a non-zero (albeit small) chance of being infectious".) Interestingly, in terms of "active cases per population", we get a different list of worst states than "total cases per population". On the left is the (beginning of the) order for Worldometer by total cases/million and on the right is active cases/million (statistic not offered on Worldometer) (1) New York ; (1)New Jersey ! (2) New Jersey ; (2) New York (3) Massachusetts ; (3) Rhode Island (4) Rhode Island ; (4) Connecticut (5) Connecticut ; (5) DC (6) DC ; (6) Massachusetts (7) Delaware ; (7) Illinois (8) Louisiana (26th on other side) ; (8) Maryland (9) Illinois ; (9) Nebraska (13 on other side) (10) Maryland ; (10) Pennsylvania (11) Pennsylvania ; (11) Delaware Note that Louisiana goes from the Worldometer total cases per million (population) of 6,782 to (Worldometer unavailable) active cases per million of 1,521. Many countries also move dramatically once we categorize by active cases/million as opposed to total cases/million. The US is 5th in active cases per million (behind San Marino, Vatican, Qatar, and Singapore) and the is the 3rd worst with population over a million. Here are a few countries with reported total cases per million and active cases per million (not reported) US: 4,255 vs. 3,107 Belgium: 4,640 vs. 2,699 Andorra: 9,810 vs. 1,838 France: 2,730 vs. 1,431 Italy: 3,659 vs. 1,344 Spain: 5,764 vs. 1,329 Ireland: 4,707 vs. 940 Luxembourg: 6,221 vs. 291 Germany: 2,067 vs. 218 Austria: 1,772 vs. 132 Iceland: 5,278 vs. 44 Note that 6 of these are worse than the US in total cases per population, but none is worse in active cases per population. Anyway, if this isn't helping anybody I don't need to put it up. But if you want some stats I may be able to get them. I'll at least try to get a better estimate of the actual "infective" cases for Maryland if I have time. |
Re: Coronavirus (non political)
again, your brick wall of text makes takeaways from it fairly useless. I am not even sure what you are trying to say. Two questions, hopefully without blocks of texts in your answers:[List][*]Is your point that the situation is more dire, or less dire than the generally presented numbers indicate. [*]What are you presenting as the cause for the difference in the numbers[/List]Here is the link for Md's dashboard, with a lot of useful numbers:
[url]https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/[/url] I know the point you are trying to get across must be important to you, and I am just trying to understand what it is. |
Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Reduced as briefly as possible (sort of;-) (I have a hard time keeping the scientist in me under control.)
(1) Avoid PG in general if possible. Our infection rates have been astronomical. I give info by zip so if you need to go somewhere you know where it is particularly bad. For example, near the University of Maryland (where I live) we live in a small bubble (one zip code) of "reasonableness" (5 per thousand) in the middle of almost all the worst areas of the state (up to 28 per thousand, worse than any state or country in the world.) So the voluminous zip code info is to help people understand in more detail where to avoid. Both county and zip info are reported in cases per million, the same as Worldometer. So PG has passed 11 cases per thousand. (For cases per thousand, take the first column and divide by 1,000). (2) Not stated above. For the moment, especially avoid latinos that you don't know. They are one of the main reasons that the state's infection rate has not stabilized. While the numbers from yesterday were outliers (2 new white cases, 30 black, 209 latino), today's increase fits with the usual: 1.6+/-0.1% new cases for whites/blacks (i.e. lockstep) and 5.1% latino (i.e. 2 to 3 times the white/black rate). We live in a heavily latino area and we see groups of them frequently ignoring all the advice and walking in large groups and having parties (and forget the masks). (Mostly young*) latinos now constitute more cases than whites even though their population in the state is 1/5th of the white population. From the conversations that my (Mexican) wife has with her sister in Mexico, the Mexican people (there) are much more responsible (in spite of their president) than the latinos here. (He's telling them "just live your daily lives; the epidemic will just take care of itself"; in response, the individual neighborhoods and states are taking action. But he's cooking the books on the epidemic anyways.**) (3) The state, along with a lot of others, pretty much never reports recoveries. Supposedly about 88% of the people who have ever gotten the virus here are still considered "active cases". You can never have the curve go down if nobody is ever declared "recovered" unless you start murdering the people who have it. So, judging from what I saw from Germany's stats, I tried to do a "most conservative" case of what our stats would be if we followed their general trend line. (I chose them since they do report recoveries and their criterion is good since "recovereds" don't seem to generate much further infection.) So my back of the envelope calculation is as follows: Active cases = total cases today - 0.8 * total cases 14 days ago. This makes the assumption that (1) All cases in the last 2 weeks are active, and (2) 20% of the cases at least 14 days ago are still lingering. These assumptions are quite conservative but generate active case counts that are about half of what the state is reporting. (For point (2) above the active case counts would be black: 5,071 cases; white: 3,531; latino: 4,943) Hopefully this isn't too long a read. I'm (overly) comfortable with numbers, and don't know when to stop sometimes. *"Mostly young" is derived from the fact that the death rate for latinos is much lower than for other groups. **Look at the Worldometer report. For Mexico, the number of "active cases" has stayed around 8,000 for a while, but they're getting about 2,000 new cases per day, so supposedly everybody "recovers" (or dies) in 4 days, and those few "active cases" are generating new cases at a rate of 25% per day! |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Mike, I guess as you are a scientist, I am asking what hypothesis you are stating. If I read it right then these would be how I would state your hypotheses:
#1 PG County has the largest section of the outbreak, and should be avoided. #2 Latinos in Md have been less willing to follow the stay at home order as it is meant to be followed, and therefore non-Latinos should avoid contact with Latinos to reduce the chance of community spread from that specific group. #3 The Actual Recovered numbers are significantly higher than the reported based on the number of new cases and assuming a 14 to 21 day infection time. If those are your hypotheses, I generally agree with 1 and 3. Although I think #1 is skewed by the major outbreaks in nursing homes in PG and Riderwood in Montgomery which is actually right on the border of PG if you could somehow pull out those flash points that happened early on, you might see a different statistical variance. But I don't really think that is possible. I think you are reading the data from number 2 backwards though. I do believe it is significant that the Latino population is less likely to abide by the stay at home order (I admit this is from my walks in the park and the numbers of groups that I see that would be considered larger that 10 or not practicing social distancing so it is not a scientific number). But if we accept the untested assumption that Latinos are less likely to abide by the order, the expected numbers would be an expected higher infection and mortality rate. We see just the opposite in Md. Using your numbers (black: 5,071 cases; white: 3,531; latino: 4,943) Latino and Black active cases are basically equivalent and given the ethnic makeup of PG county, that is not completely shocking. In fact the low number of deaths in the Latino group (black:708; white: 731; latino: 137) should actually have us looking at what factors they have incorporated communally that may have a better effectiveness then stay at home orders alone. |

Both of us are homebodies, and the only place we both went to other than work, was the grocery store, or Lowes / walmart, etc... Even before the pandemic happened, we rarely went out to eat, and we didn't even go to the movies except a few times a year. Through this whole thing, we have both been still going to work every day. Truth be told we only encountered a horrible line once at Walmart in Stephens City very early on, it might have been around the 3rd week of March. Since then the Martins and that Walmart that we shop at has always had what we needed. I was lucky and had a decent supply of TP when this started, and for the last two weekends i have seen it on the shelves again in plentiful supply. Same with the canned foods, meat, etc. I understand that some cities are having intermittent meat shortages, but not here so far (knock on wood). I am like you, i am very used to how we are living / have been living and i probably won't rush to go back out right away, i will let it die down over the next few weeks, with VA expected to go into "Phase 2", in the beginning of June. I think by then, things will look a lot more "normal". |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
The results I give are extremely conservative (i.e., probably overstate the number of cases continuing past 14 days.) The numbers for total cases were
April 30th: black: 7,821, white: 4,935, and latino: 3,651. May 14th: black: 11,328, white: 7,479, and latino: 7,864. The chance that an unrecovered"old case" is out on the street is small (either dead or sick enough so they're not going anywhere.) This is as opposed to new "unrecovered" cases, where the symptoms may not be incapacitating. Consider the new cases (as of May 14th vs. April 30th): black: 3,507, and less than half (44.8%) of the cases that existed on April 30th white: 2,544, and about half (51.6%) of the cases that existed before April 30th latino: 4,213, which is about 1.15 times (i.e. 115.4%) of the number of cases before April 30th. Now consider that the proportion of the state population of each group is black: ~30% white: ~50% latino: ~10%. So the latino numbers for new cases per population* is 8 times what it is for whites and about 3.5 times what it is for blacks. This (along with what I see in the street and my neighbors) leaves me with the general sense they are not getting the message and don't care if they infect somebody. (We worry about some of our latino friends who, for example, have diabetes; I just try to let them know the numbers and find out if we can help them.) I should also note that the latino rate of increase is about double that of the white and black on EACH DAY, so it's not a statistical anomaly. *New cases divided by the population pct.

This effect is for different socio-economic reasons, but clearly isn't accounted for in simply parsing the numbers like you did. [*]You don't account for clusters near possible outbreaks that may be unrelated to race ie nursing center that become a major factor[*]You don't take into account what actions in the black or white community may have lead to a specific drop outside of community spread. [/LIST]for me the bottom line is you are taking a personal observation - latinos seem less concerned about social spread (which I agree based on personal observation) and then using statistics in a way that includes many confirmation biases without any use of "clean" statistical data (anonymized and representative) that could confirm or deny your point. |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
I had to go to the hated Walmart yesterday. My small town pharmacy closed down end of last year and CVS prices are 3x Walmart's or more for meds. The extra 50 mile round trip to Walmart and my hatred of the place is easily over come by saving $200+ a month. Any way they had one way aisles and only one entrance to the store open, which happened to be the one furthest from the pharmacy. Just going to the pharmacy I ended up walking 4x as much as I normally do. I wonder what genius dreamed that up? The pharmacy patrons are mostly elderly and some don't look to be in too good of health. If they were going to have one entrance open it should have been the one right next to the pharmacy. The people working the pharmacy complained to management about the set-up and it fell on deaf ears.

I believe initially if a person tested positive for it, but then died for whatever other reason - heart attack, stroke, etc., then COVID-19 was listed as the cause of death. That was going on in NY initially. But i believe the governor discovered that, and some of the deaths were later redacted. |

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Covid numbers are like holding water in your hand.
Florida averages 1,210 pneumonia deaths for the months January to march, 2013 to 2018. This year for January to march? 5,185 classified as pneumonia deaths. Florida was averting about 75 "unknown" deaths per day on January 5, 2020. By mid april, 2020? Averaging about 225 "unknown cause of death" cases a day now. Read similar things about kentucky. *** I did not go to the cdc website to confirm these numbers so I'm not saying they are 100% accurate ------------------- A neighbor across the street was found passed out in his bathroom, ambulance came but did not take him to the hospital. He tested positive for covid 19. Hope he's doing okay. ---------- Maryland testing is now opening up. You don't need symptoms to get tested, just the stones to get a long q tip jammed into your brain. |
Re: Coronavirus (non political)
Pneumonia kills about 50,000 people each year in the U.S., according to the CDC.
This year, at least 89,555 deaths have been attributed nationwide to pneumonia between February and mid-May. It tends to follow a typical flu season, coming on in December and peaking in January and February before declining in March to April. But preliminary CDC data from this year show pneumonia deaths steadily climbed in March to peak in April, mirroring the trend line for deaths linked to the coronavirus outbreak. Surrounding states are also seeing death counts several times greater than normal: Indiana: 1,832 COVID-19 deaths; 2,149 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 384) Illinois: 4,856 COVID-19 deaths; 3,986 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 782) Tennessee: 336 COVID-19 deaths; 1,704 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 611) Ohio: 1,969 COVID-19 deaths; 2,327 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 820) Virginia: 1,208 COVID-19 deaths; 1,394 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 451) West Virginia: 72 COVID-19 deaths; 438 pneumonia deaths (five-year average: 117)” |
Re: Coronavirus (non political)
According to The Washington Post, which has been tracking data, 14 states and Puerto Rico have “recorded their highest-ever seven day average of new coronavirus cases since the pandemic began.” Since the beginning of June, this increase in cases has impacted the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. Worst of all, The Post reports that “the highest percentage of new cases are coming from places with much smaller populations,” which puts a massive strain on their medical infrastructures. Small towns like the mentioned Lincoln County, Oregon, have fewer hospitals and resources and may not be well-equipped to deal with a sudden surge in COVID-19 cases.
The number of states affected by an increase in cases might even be higher than 14. CNN reports that 22 states have seen an upward trending in virus cases. Florida has reportedly faced the most drastic spike in cases lately. CNN reports that “the number of new cases reported each day has increased an average of roughly 46 percent over the past week, just as most of the state entered a second phase of reopening.” Another issue that The Post poses is that some states (such as Mississippi, Florida, and South Carolina), have loosened “minor-to moderate” safety restrictions and protocols over the last few weeks, even though “average daily infection rate is rising.” Most states in general have been opening up and allowing many businesses to operate with health rules in place — but experts have maintained their concern that it’s far too early to be reopening the country. Although many health officials have warned of a second wave, the frightening thing is that this isn’t even the second wave yet — it’s still seemingly the first. According to NPR back in March, rural spots that didn’t see the virus wreak havoc on their towns at first would eventually be affected by the pandemic. “I think it’s just a matter of time,” Andy Pekosz, a professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health stated — back in March. It looks like we’re currently seeing that prediction unfold. ----------------------------------------------- Thank goodness Covid isnt deadlier bc that asshole can certainly spread itself around pretty effectively If schools dont open back up in September ... I might go crazy, the whole country might go crazy. |
