Is the increase in coronavirus cases driven off the accessibility of testing? What if you got tested positive as you were at the tailwind of your sickness? How is the recovered number calculated?

It’s a hot mess from a data perspective, fer sher. Deaths are close to real time (roughly same day), but will undercount some because they’re no testing everyone in the country who dies. For the most part they’re only testing people who meet a very high likelihood of testing positive, but the results are 7-10 days old. Cases are doubling every two days or so. Humans don’t process doubling very well. 5000 cases in Florida so far. That means 10k by Tuesday. 20k by Thursday...

And to combine those things. If the numbers say 20k in Thursday, those numbers are a week old. So meanwhile, the actual numbers have doubled every other day - 40k to 80k to 160k in a week

Just really curious how all these metrics are calculated

I think partly it is because of that. Recovered = tested positive for covid and didn’t die.

Following, am wondering the same
