Observations with Minnesota's #coronavirus data. We still thankfully only have one death. However cases continue 2 grow & are tracking similar 2 other locations where cases roughly double every 3 days. Testing is decreasing 2 only the really sick #covid19 #mngov #StayHomeMN

Percentages listed don't mean much and aren't really comparable to each other because the testing criteria is clearly changing and becoming more narrow. Also we haven't been able to find good data for the daily hospitalizations ... so not clear what condition these "+"s are in.

Others have mentioned that Gov of Minnesota alluded 2 data (presumably mobility of residents via cell phone data) that Minnesota residents are taking this seriously. And our movement is lower than most other states & comparable to "shelter in place" states. Anecdotally I concur.

Minnesota Public Health Depart is now providing an impressive amount of data on the #coronavirus pandemic in MN. Now includes hospitalization data as of 2day. Still only one death & a lower level of hospitalizations than elsewhere #covid19 #StayHomeMN health.state.mn.us/diseases/coron…

Unfortunately everything we see now is the result of what happened ~ 5-14 days prior. We are soon going 2 find out what happens from all the returning spring breakers some of whom are & will likely remain asymptomatic but may be spreading the disease now. #covid19 #coronavirus

Minnesota data appears 2b slowing in doubling of new positive cases. Hard 2 say given testing has also ramped up. The CFR still roughly 1% & hospitalization rate remains relatively constant at 12-13%
Doubling (03-20-20 - 03-23-20) - 3 days
Doubling (03-23-20 - 03-28-20) - 5 days

Excellent video that everyone in their family should watch.
