Covid-19 Statistics

The above is normalized chart of confirmed and deaths because of Covid-19 in the US and European Union. The media has preferred to use sensationalized total numbers. Keep in mind these CDC estimates in the US for the 2017-2018 flu season: "𝟰𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀, 𝟮𝟭 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮-𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀, 810,000 influenza related hospitalizations 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟲𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮-𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀." In 2009 the H1N1 Swine Flu epidemic occurred. After 6 months a "national emergency" was declared.  The CDC website states "During the pandemic, CDC provided estimates of the numbers of 2009 H1N1 cases, hospitalizations and deaths on seven different occasions. Final estimates were published in 2011. These final estimates were that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010 approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (8868-18,306) occurred in the United States due to pH1N1."

I began tracking the Johns Hopkins University Medical Data statistics about Covid-19 and I've posted daily and intermittent charts on social media.

In my county half of the covid-19 deaths have occurred in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.  IMHO this is a travesty and falls upon the governor and local health officials. My IL county is by no means unique. New York is the poster child for bad decisions.

Here's a chart of 10-day moving averages for change day to day in deaths in the US.  I updated this daily until May 17.  I have since updated it intermittently:

Here's a chart comparing the death rate in the US, the European Union and Sweden. I was interested in knowing the hoopla behind the noise in the media.  Sweden's approach to dealing with the Covid-19 has been controversial for some.
