Worldometer watchers no doubt have noticed the after-effect of Mardi Gras by now.

(17,498 posts)earlier. The current uptick is the result of something else. A doctor I heard stated obesity is a risk factor and LA has a huge problem with that. Maybe they are getting sicker and being identified because of that.

(52,147 posts)but Nice, France didn't, neither did Brazil or the US. Something told me this was going to happen. Glad St. Patrick's Day was canceled. I guess there won't be an Easter Egg Roll at the White House or anywhere this year.
I wonder if churches will cancel services. Praying won't help you fight off germs that were shed by the guy on the pew next to you.

(10,421 posts)The last two days, passed Italy, adding 7,000+ cases per day (Italy is 6,000/day). Continued behavior by Trump and the GOP could get to 30,000 per day in the not too distant future. With Italy's 10% death rate (in part due to overload) that would be like a 9/11 every day.
Trump: 'Were going to win so much, youre going to be so sick and tired of winning'

(62,444 posts)Is the Worldometers site.
Through the magic of the Google machine - which I highly recommend instead of following links to sites posted by people you don't know - punching in "worldometers" brings you to a site full of interesting statistics.
As a future recommendation, I would suggest that when you see people providing links to places you've never heard of, that you use Google that way instead of following links that are not known to you. It will save you grief some day.
World stats:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
US stats:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
If you have a tech/math background, you will appreciate the ease with which you can switch to log plots, instead of linear plots, for keeping an eye on what is an exponential phenomenon.
I hope you find that useful.

(4,678 posts)we're actually doing.
It's 10% in the rest of the world. So the actual number of cases in the US is probably at least 7 times what is being reported.

(62,444 posts)Fatal cases resolve faster than cases which linger for two weeks or more.
Thats simply a misreading of the data.

(26,355 posts)The real death rate is probably somewhere around 1% if that.
