Pandemic Update March 27

CV19 Pandemic Update for 2020-03-27 (Friday)’s final numbers. I waited long enough, it is almost time for another update. But, I got some sleep. That helped me feel better. Also, it’s Erica’s birthday!
 
03-27 Friday
1-Day Projection: WW 601509/27192; PRC 81903/3297; NON 519605/23895; IT 87309/8995; US 106851/1552; TX 1988/29
1-Day Distancing: WW 601509/27192; PRC 81903/3297; NON 519605/23895; IT 87309/8995; US 103554/1554; TX 1971/27
Actual Numbers: ww 593291/27198; PRC 81897/3296; NON 511394/23902; IT 86498/9134; US 101657/1581; TX 1937/26
 
1=Day US Testing: POS 89,618 NEG 486,863 PEND 66,880 HOSPITAL 13,923 DEAD 1,471
Actual Numbers: POS 99,413 NEG 527,220 PEND 60,094 HOSPITAL 13,718 DEAD 1,530
 
The numbers are really close to estimates, except Italy had a few more deaths. Almost everything else was on par or a little lower than estimated.

1-Day Projection: WW 666020/30928; PRC 82012/3301; NON 584008/27627; IT 92840/10156; US 123266/2067; TX 2400/32
1-Day Distancing: WW 666020/30928; PRC 82012/3301; NON 584008/27627; IT 92840/10156; US 123859/2000; TX 2390/33
1-Day US Testing: POS 107,568 NEG 561,770 PEND 59,784 HOSPITAL 23,397 DEAD 2,585
 
I only include the numbers for PRC because it fits my chart. I am sure thei are bogus, since their funeral omes are cremating thousands of bodies per week. Dear China, I respect honesty, not obedience. I know, I am not 10,000 years old. I know, keeping people from panicking is important.
 
 
2020-04-01 7-day Projection
7-Day Projection: WW 1169645/61852; PRC 82134/3338; NON 1087512/58514; IT 157313/19560; US 477863/6398; TX 9131/162
7-Day Distancing: WW 1169645/61852; PRC 82134/3338; NON 1087512/58514; IT 157313/19560; US 232880/4603; TX 5875/72
7-Day US Testing: Positive: 134,035 Negative: 728,160 Pending: 100,028 Hospitalized: 68,262 Dead: 4,770 Overrun: 04-06 295-335k
 
For April 1, we are trending to have more confirmed (mostly from Italy), fewer dead (more than the testing stat dead though), fewer in the hospital, and a lot more tests run. We are clearing 110k tests per day.
 
The US testing chart looks like hospital overrun may be April 6 (32% of US hospital beds).
 
Texas projections move one more day further out on every estimate.
04-07 29k TEXAS ICU OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-06 36k TEXAS VENT OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-13 146k TEXAS ICU STG3
04-14 178k TEXAS VENT STG3 & Hosp STG1
04-17 400k may be the inflection point for Texas if 14% like China, but our death rate is lower than theirs or the world.
04-18 532k TEXAS HOSP STG3
04-21 1.2m Inflection point for R0 of 2.2 is 60% with detection rate of 39.08
 
The distancing formula overrun estimates are pulled way back closer to the others, because social distancing got worse again. It is only -20% right now.
04-11 2929 TEXAS ICU OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-12 1787 TEXAS VENT OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-20 2929 TEXAS ICU OVERRUN STAGE 3
04-21 1787 TEXAS VENT OVERRUN STAGE 2
04-21 26633 TEXAS HOSPITAL OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-25 400k may be the inflection point for Texas if 14% like China, but our death rate is lower than theirs or the world.
04-27 4550 TEXAS VENT OVERRUN STAGE 3
04-28 26633 TEXAS HOSPITAL OVERRUN STAGE 2
05-01 47441 TEXAS HOSPITAL OVERRUN STAGE 3
05-02 1.2m Inflection point for R0 of 2.2 is 60% with detection rate of 39.08
 
 
Here are the milestones from 04-23 data for comparison to track our progress flattening the curve:
04-06 33k TEXAS ICU OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-07 45k TEXAS VENT OVERRUN STAGE 1
04-10 150k TEXAS VENT/ICU STG2 & Hosp STG 1
04-13 366k TEXAS VENT/ICU STG3 & Hosp STG 2
04-15 660k TEXAS Hosp STG 3
 
Milestones are based on guesstimates.
TX 28.7m pop; 2.9 beds per 1000 in TX (83230); 32% unoccupied (26633) / 11% are ICU (2929); 6.7% ventilators (1787); 10% limited function ventilation (2663) / 5-15% conf need hosp(532k-177k @ overrun); 2-10% ICU (29k-146k); 1-5% need vent (36k-178k)
 
Testing has ramped up substantially, every 2 days another 20k per day. We are at 110k per day as of 2020-03-28 16:00 EDT.
 
Our mortality rate is still about a third of the rest of the world, with TX going down, and the US going up just a little today.
 
Inflection point for outbreaks with an R0 of 2.2 is 60% of the population, not 60% of the confirmed cases. If we are catching a third of the cases, then uncontrolled, exponential climb would stop when confirmed cases were 20% of the population. If we are catching a 6th, then 10%.
 
Social distancing data lags by 3 days. Statistics lag by 1 day. Detection lags by 9-12 days. Impact delay of SD on Confirmations MAY BE 9 days, or it may be longer. The correlation is hard to suss out, but it may be that it will become more evident as we get more days of data.
