1/ It's time to look at week 16 (April 12-April 18) #COVIDView

Are things getting better or worse overall in the US?
Are there pockets of concern or good news?
What new data have we gotten in the past week?

How would an epidemiologist look at the data?

2/ Let's run through the big 5:

A) Case growth
B) Hospitalizations/Deaths among Cases
C) Test positivity
D) Non-specific Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) trends- Ambulatory/ ED visits
E) Non-specific Pneumonia/Influenza trends- deaths

& new data:
F) Serosurveys
G) Symptoms surveys
3/ CASE GROWTH

Case growth is pretty flat- ~30k new cases a day

But that's no cause for complacency

30k diagnosed cases now is probably >300k infections a day!

+ some heavy hitters (NY, MI) are down, so that means that a lot of other places are flat (MA, NJ worrisome) or up
