We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

However, if you add a ton of cases then New York could be more equal to other places on the death rate, which would then support the idea put forth about many more infected.

This is why the numbers from the antibody study in Santa Clara don't match up. Boston, we'll see, but it's highly, highly unlikely.

Regardless of what you initially believed about the models, we are getting enough data in from New York and the infectiousness of the virus to make some baseline assumptions about the death toll that are fairly well grounded.

What we know:
*New York State has a population of 20,000,000
*New York has a death toll of 17,671 at this point
*Tests of suspected COVID patients in New York were 38% as of April 1
*Deaths usually lag about two weeks behind infections

What we are assuming based upon some clinical research:

The low end of the R0 is 2.2, the high end is over 8. One study put the R0 at 5.7

We can plug and chug to help us understand fatality rates, but this is still back of the napkin stuff:

Given that 38% of suspected COVID patients were positive in April (and those are the ones most likely to test positive) and the test has a false negative rate of 30%, at most 47% of people in New York (and I'm counting the entire state, which will greatly elevate the potential number of infected) would have been infected at that time.

That gives us a pool of 9.4 million infections in New York. Although this is highly, highly unlikely, it would give us a lower bound of a fatality rate. As of now it would be 0.19.

I’m curious to see how many tests that is from this yesterday

See how Sunday and Mondays are consistently lower than any days around them???
Go back into March. And I understand what you are saying but the argument is anecdotal as far as I know save 4/5 which they said were errors in reporting.

Plus the argument was Sundays were lower. Today you introduced Mondays to that argument.

Again, anecdotal unless there is some specific reason you can point to.

Based on what we've been averaging lately, I'd say somewhere between 1000-1500. I'll update it as soon as they do.

Oddly enough Worldometers matches the number of cases with a difference in new cases and still shows 198 total deaths with 0 new deaths today so far.

Weird shit in Mo

Uhhhh no. I Said Sunday’s and Monday’s before today.


And it’s because they are a day behind ( which I’m pretty sure you’ve agreed with) and obviously everywhere isn’t reporting on the weekends correctly. That’s why it catches up on Tuesdays.

It's not weird. Something happened with the reporting. Duh.

Here is the author of the link with concerns on the study after the appendix came out...

Also, they don’t quite weight by sex x ethnicity x zip; they actually weight by the two-way margins, sex x zip and ethnicity x zip. Again, not the world’s biggest deal. They should’ve adjusted for age, too, though, as that’s a freebie.

– They have a formula to account for uncertainty in the estimated specificity. But something seems to have gone wrong, as discussed in the above post. It’s hard to know exactly what went wrong since we don’t have the data and code. For example, I don’t know what they are using for var(q).


Here is the appendix:

I've said this a few times but the Missouri DHSS has say always lagged behind other sites in the numbers of deaths. You'd think they'd be the ones with the most up to date info, but :-)

They seem to be petty good about the number of positive cases and tests run though.

Also using March doesn’t get you much. There weren’t hardly any deaths per day most of the month but the last week is the exact same. Lower on Sunday and Monday than tues...
