US Update: 9/25/20
Graph 1: Daily Deaths + Current Hospitalizations
*Multi-Day Update
- Hospitalizations have the first Week-over-Week (Wow) rise since late July
- Reported Deaths DOWN 162 WoW. Still a LOT of legacy death laundering (very old deaths counted as new)
/1
Graph 2: COVID ICU Census vs. Deaths (7DayAvg) vs. Daily Detected Cases
***Still seeing large backlog dumps of old deaths
- 7-Day-Avg Reported Deaths down 75 WoW
- ICUs keep dropping
- "Cases" from mass/forced college testing + case definition changes = artificial increase
/2
Graph 3: Daily Tests + Detected Cases + Case Positivity
***Still don't see how so many tests are being done daily. Who are the people getting tested and why?
- Test Positivity down 0.5%
- Tests up 110k WoW
- Detected Cases up 214 WoW (0.2% Positivity)

Graph 4: Coronavirus - Census for Hospitalizations vs. ICUs vs. Ventilators
- Hosps up 143 W-o-W
- ICUs DOWN 119 W-o-W
- Vents Down 119 W-o-W
*Vents far lower than prior low point

Graphs 5: Daily Estimated Cases vs. Deaths
Tests shot up to almost 1.1M, so I changed the threshold to 1.2M for daily tests in the formula.
Somehow we're testing more people despite less COVID-Like Illness (CLI).
If we were testing 500k, we'd feasibly see ~24k "cases."
