In NYC, 'stark contrast' in COVID-19 infection rates based on education and race - ABC News

Why being poorer, BAME and without a college degree is associate with high levels of infection and poor outcomes in New York.

Social factors also could apply here abcnews.go.com/Health/nyc-sta…
CV. highest concentration in black and Hispanic residents.

1 in 5 black and 1 in 6 Hispanic resident could work from home.
Death rates too are disproportionately weighted towards the black and Hispanic population unlike both White and Asian population.

18k tests (352,974 total) 12776 people (282,374 total)

5288 +ve (84,279 total) 3.4 tests to get a positive. Indicative of broader testing/ more recoveries.

737 died IN HOSPITAL (10,612 total). 12.59% Easter Sunday. There are delays over w/e let alone bank holiday w/es.
Expect a “catch up” increase during next week.

STILL NO LINE FOR COMMUNITY DEATHS. Not good enough.
I attach @Egbert_PengWu cumulative charts.

Coronavirus statistics: what can we trust and what should we ignore?

“On 27 March the Gov announced that 926 Covid-19 deaths had so far taken place in English hospitals, NHS England now reports that the true figure was 1,649”

That is 723 deaths out. 78% theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…
There is a time lag between a death and its report. Sometimes a time lag of weeks. It’d be helpful if we could understand the full extent of the delays and the reasons.

But knowing the number of deaths that occurred each day shows the true scale of the disease and the curve
Different types of predictive modelling.

Important to have accurate and up to date data for effective predictions. That means large scale testing, accurate data in deaths, including deaths in the community, hospital and ICU admissions.

Not only has the US crossed the 20k barrier, apparently omitting many community deaths, it looks to me as if Italy will today or tomorrow too. I don’t know if they are yet including community deaths.

Belgium has been hit v hard-254 deaths in 1 day. 3.6k total (pop 11.35 mill)
Scale that up to U.K. pop and that is the equivalent of c 1400 deaths in a day and 20,880 deaths in total.

Poor Belgium. 💔

Is Belgium counting community deaths do you know @GuitarMoog ?
I believe Belgium had riots in the street yesterday after the police arrested someone (I think for being our in the street without a good excuse). Videos of lots of young men attacking a police vehicle, smashing out windows.

Very shaking,
