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

Mon, 04/27/2020 - 8:56pm

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:

5.59 million tests have been completed in the U.S. (1.7% of the population)
23,000 more Americans tested positive today. 1.01 million have tested positive to date.

Yes, that's right: Today the United States of America broke 1 million cases of COVID-19. Hooray for us. Yay team.

Another 1,400 Americans died today. Over 56,800 have died to date.
The U.S. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) now stands at 5.6%.

The U.S. case count has increased 27% over the past week, and the total U.S. death toll has increased by 34%.

New York:

826,000 tests have been completed on New Yorkers to date (4.2% of the population)
4,000 more New Yorkers tested positive today. Over 298,000 have tested positive to date (1.5% of the population).

348 more New Yorkers died today. 22,600 have died so far. That's 1.2 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 27% over the past week. The death toll has risen 34%.

Michigan (my home state):

158,000 tests have been completed on Michiganders to date (1.6% of the population)
432 more Michiganders tested positive today. 38,200 have tested positive to date (3.8 per thousand).

92 more Michiganders died today. 3,400 Michiganders have died of COVID-19 to date.

Michigan continues to have the highest CFR of any state at 8.9%.
Michigan's cases have increased 19% in the past week. Our death toll has increased 38%.

Other States/Territories:
