We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Italy started the lockdowns and restrictions relatively early compared to most other countries, and these are their numbers with 60 million people in the country. I fear that countries that aren't being as proactive could be hit even worse.
Higher than that unfortunately...as someone pointed out, you should only divide the deaths by the closed cases, not total cases :/
States where it is legal have the same lines. I was at a liquor store yesterday and it was easy to spot the alcoholics. Carts full of booze and beer.
Slovenia update:
219 confirmed cases, 3 critical, 1 fatality. Over 6500 tests made.
All public transport, bars, restaurants and stores are shutting down. Only pharmacies, supermarkets, banks, post office and gas stations will be open.
Lidl already changed opening hours, now it is from 8:30 till 18:00. Looks like curfew is the next step.
Factories are still operating normally, but I think that we will see closures soon (at latest when they ran out of materials)

User Banned (2 Weeks): Ignoring Staff Post and Fearmongering Over Multiple Posts; Prior Ban for the Same
South Korea's mortality rate is 8.25%
China is 4.56%
Japan is 14.29%
Italy is 43.6%
Iran is 13%
It's election day. Those fuckers didn't report. I expect the worst.
Graphs of Italy and Germany align prefectly so far.

February 27 Italy 655 cases
March 06 Germany 670 cases
8 days later:
Italy 4636 cases
Germany 4599
Today (9 days later, but still counting)
Italy 5883 cases
Germany 5795 (still growing) https://interaktiv.morgenpost.de/corona-virus-karte-infektionen-deutschland-weltweit/
Only benefit we have is that we will probably enter lockdown with lower numbers, so maybe that will halt the grow at least a bit in 1-2 weeks.

Do we have a timeline of how South Korea started to react when they noticed COVID-19 was a thing? I think it would be interesting to look back in time to see how exactly should we respond in the future. Also Singapore. Both countries have been doing an incredible job at handling their own outbreaks.
Truth is no numbers are true numbers. There are more mild cases out there that we don't know about (and may never know) and likely cases resulting in death that weren't tested.
It genuinely irks me seeing peers in my country (USA) not appropriately following strong recommendations by staying home, avoiding parties, etc. I'm in healthcare/work in a hospital.

Isn't that also wrong as you're assuming everyone who currently has it won't recover?
Recovery takes longer than dying, so these numbers also are not accurate. We probably can say more if the first batch of infected is totally recovered.
It's not surprising, just disappointing how selfish some Americans are being.
you absolutely should not be doing that it will greatly inflate the mortality rate.
if you do that you will be taking nearly 100% of the people who got sick enough to die from it because if you are that sick you will be tested but you will be ignoring nearly 100% of people who didn't show more than minor symptoms likely doubling or even more the mortality rate, getting no where near a more accurate number just a more scary number.
if we had a 100% test rate (aka everyone sick or healthy is getting tested very day) then sure that would be a valid way to do it, but we are no where near that.
Was asymptomatic transmission confirmed, or is it still "we're not sure and better safe than sorry"
Co-worker whose roommate has been sick with a fever for the last couple of days just left as they are now also feeling like shit. This is all fine...
Also I would suggest not getting excessively lost in the maths. As it stands, people in Italy are hardly getting tested without serious symptoms or without having been in prolonged close contact with a confirmed positive case. This, first of all, means that there could be tons of infected people just getting through it all without being counted in any calculation. This way of counting also ensures that a very high percentage of tests ends up being positive, as they don't just pick random sane people for checks but those who effectively have high chances of having the virus. Italy stopped counting the people without symptoms long ago (so the effective number of positives is higher, thus lower infected/death ratio). Lastly, most of the people who died had various other diseases, and many of them would have likely died not too long from here. It's a +1 in the coronavirus count but for many it's inaccurate to say that this person died because of the coronavirus per se.
The Italian numbers are horrendous and alarming, but don't start panicing over the "7% of the infected are dying!" and such calculations because they are wildly inaccurate.

Their healthcare system has been overwhelmed for a while now and the continued increase in cases is exacerbating the issue. The lockdown won't have the intended effect for at least another week or two. This is why every other country needs to lockdown now. China and Italy are both examples of just how quickly this thing becomes unmanageable if drastic measures aren't taken as soon as possible.
I'm not assuming anything. These numbers will continue to change as more and more people test positive. There is also the fact that many people are positive without having been tested, which also skew the numbers.
That's incorrect. You cannot solely use the close case to calculate it either.
If you solely use closed case, then at one point there was more people dead than recover in Wuhan. However we all know that this disease did not have a >50% rate.
It is still rather early in the pandemic, however if you use the number from China who has a good portion of recovered case, you will notice that both calculation would start of very different, but eventually they will converge to the true number.
People in Italy have been actively sending warnings on Twitter for the last 2 or 3 days now. They want other countries to prepare. We HAVE to listen to them.
That's why I usually avoid taking into account countries that have not had a lot of cases for a while. China, Iran, Japan, South Korea, are countries that have been dealing with this long enough. At worst, take China's example, which if they are "cheating their numbers" are sure being nice about it because their mortality rate is still high at over 4%, and if Japan is also "cheating", they are still above 14% anyway.
Because of this fact it seems like an unnecessary panic you be posting "mortality rates" now?
Even though Denmark is closed, people are being idiots, just like in france. Just hanging out outside

Damn, on Feb 27 Italy had only 17 deaths!!!! The velocity this thing explodes is unbelievable. Really fell bad for Italy and i hope their fatalities start slowing down after all the lockdowns.
Honest question, how useful are these charts without information on the rate of testing.
I'm terribly afraid that the US is failing much worse than the tread suggests because so many carriers are walking around undiagnosed.
Thanks for sharing! The site performance is way better than other trackers.
Oh sure I understand the numbers are in flux, guess we're never gonna know exactly how many people have it
