#COVID19 Data: Nightly update of the sick and the dead.

Since tracking and analyzing data is what I'm best known for...and since I'm mostly stuck sitting in front of the computer all day whether I like it or not these days anyway...I've started my own daily COVID-19 spreadsheet.

Again, I'm not the one who compiled the data itself--many other teams with far better resources than I have are doing that--but I'm pulling their work together and adding some additional context, such as per capita info by state/territory.

Nationally:

• 4.16 million tests have been completed in the U.S.
• 27,000 more Americans tested positive today. 820,000 have tested positive to date (2.5 per thousand)

• Another 2,800 Americans died today. Over 45,300 have died to date (1.4 per thousand).
• The U.S. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) now stands at 5.5%.

• The U.S. case count has increased 33% over the past week, and the total U.S. death toll has increased by 52%.

New York:

• 649,000 tests have been completed on New Yorkers to date (3.3% of the population)
• 4,500 more New Yorkers tested positive today. Over 256,000 have tested positive to date (1.3% of the population).

• 764 more New Yorkers died today. 19,700 have died so far. That's more than 1 out of every 1,000 New Yorkers.

• New York's CFR is 7.7%, second only to the Northern Mariana Islands and Michigan.
• New York's cases have increased 24% over the past week. The death toll has risen 35%.

Michigan (my home state):

• 117,000 tests have been completed on Michiganders to date (1.2% of the population)
• 967 more Michiganders tested positive today. 33,000 have tested positive to date (3.3 per thousand).

• 232 more Michiganders died today, including 95 prior deaths which were recategorized as being COVID-19.
• 2,700 Michiganders have died of COVID-19 to date.

• Michigan continues to have the highest CFR of any state at 8.2%.
• Michigan's cases have increased 22% in the past week. Our death toll has increased 53%.

Other States/Territories:

• Rhode Island continues to have tested the highest percentage of their population (3.7%).

• No states actually doubled their case count over the past week, but five states came close: Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and Ohio's all increased by 85% or more.

• The following states have seen their death tolls double or more in the past week, along with the U.S. Virgin Islands:
  • Wyoming (they actually increased 500%...from one death to five)
  • West Virginia
  • Pennsylvania
  • Maryland
  • Rhode Island
  • North Carolina
  • Connecticut
  • Virginia
  • Massachusetts
  • Minnesota
