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

Sat, 04/25/2020 - 11:44pm

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:

5.18 million tests have been completed in the U.S. (1.6% of the population)
35,400 more Americans tested positive today. 960,000 have tested positive to date (2.9 per thousand)

The U.S. is going to break 1 million positive cases sometime Monday.

Another 2,000 Americans died today. Over 54,200 have died to date.
The U.S. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) now stands at 5.7%.

The U.S. case count has increased 30% over the past week, and the total U.S. death toll has increased by 39%.

New York:

778,000 tests have been completed on New Yorkers to date (4.0% of the population)
Nearly 11,000 more New Yorkers tested positive today. Over 288,000 have tested positive to date (1.5% of the population).

617 more New Yorkers died today. 21,900 have died so far. That's 1.1 out of every 1,000 New Yorkers.

New York's CFR is 7.6%, second only to the Northern Mariana Islands and Michigan.
New York's cases have increased 20% over the past week. The death toll has risen 24%.

Michigan (my home state):

144,000 tests have been completed on Michiganders to date (1.4% of the population)
562 more Michiganders tested positive today. 37,200 have tested positive to date (3.7 per thousand).

189 more Michiganders died today. 3,300 Michiganders have died of COVID-19 to date.

Michigan continues to have the highest CFR of any state at 8.8%.
Michigan's cases have increased 21% in the past week. Our death toll has increased 42%.

Other States/Territories:
