⚠️It's Monday. Numbers of tests and their positive rates are key metrics. ⬇️ 1/6
DAILY CASES REPORTED (pink bars) and their 7-DAY AVERAGE (pink line), where each day is the mean of itself and the previous six. DEATHS (crimson red bars) at the bottom. THRILLED to have room for the chart legend specifically in the top right quadrant! 2/6
AGE DISTRIBUTION OF CASES. Local cases from May 1-June 20 (age data for cases lag by a day), including those with missing locations. Only a single category is provided for ages >70, which constitute 14% of all cases. DATA ➡️ data.cdc.gov.tw/en/dataset/ags… 3/6
Our local case fatality rate for May 1-June 20 is 4.2%—sadly another new record for us, and higher than the world average of 1-3%. This is largely due to a disproportionate number of older cases, but undetected cases could contribute too. 4/6
CASES & DEATHS and their 7-DAY AVERAGE BY AGE for May 1-June 20. Keeping eyes peeled for 1) new clusters 1-2 weeks after Dragon Boat, when some traveled of necessity and 2) a- or pre-symptomatically founded clusters in places like workplaces or nursing homes. 5/6
WORKPLACE MOBILITY remains higher in Taiwan than other outbreak-halting countries. Our continued #COVID19 success arguably depends on updated guidelines, more #WorkFromHome, and #testing. Check out this 中文 piece w/ @cptwei in today's #天下 @CWM_en ⬇️ 6/6
