I'm sure I'll be coming back to this tweet in the weeks ahead.
On March 6 at 1 in the afternoon Colorado time there are 259 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the United States.

1 day after the administration re-iterated that the Coronavirus had been contained in the US, the case count has risen by about 60% and is now past 400
In the 3 days since the administration re-iterated that the novel coronavirus had been contained, the known infection count in the US has more than doubled and global financial markets have tanked
The President continues to insist that the response is going very well. Meanwhile, the US will cross 1,000 confirmed cases today, quadrupling the number since last Friday, when Larry Kudlow and Kellyanne Conway went to the media to declare it contained
The official US count crossed 1300 today, up 30% from yesterday. The President gave a rambling and barely coherent speech from the Oval Office in which he outlined 3 courses of action we're taking. All 3 were walked back within an hour. Markets continue to tank
Up to 1700 in the US as of today, another 30% bump from yesterday. This means we're currently doubling our case count every 3rd day.
Trump continues to fail and flail. Markets continue to plunge. All major sports leagues have canceled their schedules for at least a month

A week after declaring the virus contained the case count in the US has increased by nearly 10x, and is now past 2,000.
Today Trump gave a press conference where he made up a website being worked on by Google.
So far, fewer than 15,000 people have been tested in the US, total

We continue to double the case count every 3 days. It's important to understand that this isn't measuring the number of covid cases, it's measuring the growth in how many tests we can administer. The actual infection count is vastly higher https://twitter.com/ryanstruyk/status/1238996322666999810
We're past 3700 cases in the US tonight. Another day with a 1/3rd bump in the case count. We're still on the 3-day doubling cycle. By next weekend we'll have 15,000 confirmed cases in the US with an entire political party devoted to making it as bad as possible
We're up to 4700 confirmed cases in the US, which is a bit lower than the 33% daily increase would have indicated. Epidemiologists still believe there are tens of thousands of actual cases.
Today was the first time the President appeared to grasp the severity of the situation
Today was the first time the President appeared to grasp the severity of the situation
At his press conference today he finally advocated for meaningful social distancing and accepted that the crisis is not going to be resolved in the next few days or weeks.
Unfortunately, he then went to Twitter and immediately began ranting incoherently again

1700 new cases today, putting us back on the 33% daily increase curve. We're up to 6400 confirmed in the US. Nevada closed the casinos today, something which was unimaginable just two weeks ago
Since I started this thread, the case count has increased by more than 25x
Since I started this thread, the case count has increased by more than 25x
The administration continued to say things that were more sane today than its position in prior weeks, but the conservative movement is quite clearly not on board with this. Just read this tweet and the replies to it https://twitter.com/mitchellvii/status/1239929464697610241
We went from 6400 at this time yesterday to 9400 today. Looks like we'll probably end up bumping the count 50% today.

The stock market continues to fall. It has now wiped out all gains from the entire Trump presidency.
The President has begun a new continuous lie that he has
been leading a massive response to this since before anyone else was even taking it seriously. The members of his cult are not falling in line with the new position yet, but with him constantly reiterating it and Fox News shifting to match, they'll probably agree we've always
been at war with Eastasia within a few more days. Meanwhile, serious people are warning that things are about to get much worse as the hospitals begin to hit capacity.
Based on current trends, we'll be between 12,500 and 14,000 cases at this time tomorrow
Based on current trends, we'll be between 12,500 and 14,000 cases at this time tomorrow
US cases broke 14,000 today. At current growth trends we'll end up between 18,500 and 20,000 tomorrow.

It's starting to look like NYC may be less than a week from reaching saturation of the available ICU beds in local hospitals. Once that happens, ALL critical care cases
become likely fatalities. Heart attacks, strokes, car accidents--anything that you need ICU to survive becomes a likely death.

Multiple Republican Senators today were revealed to have engaged in stock trades following a private briefing on the virus last month, even as they
publicly continued to toe the party line that the virus threat was overstated and would pass in the very near future. Even Tucker Carlson is calling for Senator Burr to resign.

@realDonaldTrump was completely unhinged during his briefing today. He's getting steadily worse, which is what you'd expect for a seriously
mental ill narcissist who is seeing everything he imagined for his future fall apart. He no longer gets to have his rallies, the stock market numbers he was so proud of have evaporated, and the cable news he can't turn off keeps saying he's failing and flailing. He isn't going
to get better. 
NYC's hospitals seem to be close to saturation as the caseload there skyrockets. Once they hit the saturation point there are going to start to be increasing deaths from all causes due to the lack of available medical care.
In all, things are not yet improving

Just shy of 27,000 cases. The death toll is now 260, up 110 from yesterday. This is the first day I'm tracking deaths.

Trump is still an idiot. Fox News, conservative twitter, and the right wing blogs have started picking up a shockingly bad essay self-pubbed at Medium that
argues we are massively overreacting. If that makes it onto Fox's on-air coverage we can expect Trump to pick it up and believe it.
If we keep on present course the case count tomorrow should end up between 35,000 and 37,000. The death toll should be between 330 and 350
If we keep on present course the case count tomorrow should end up between 35,000 and 37,000. The death toll should be between 330 and 350
We ended today with 33,000 or so cases. While that's a lot more than yesterday, it's still slower than the growth rate we've been seeing, which is nice to have for a single day and will be very encouraging if it persists. The death toll, however, is up to 340, which is spot on
Trump gave another press conference today. Apparently he was as fucktacular as he always is, I don't know, I can't listen to him anymore. Senate Republicans want to bail out the corporations and, apparently, Trump. Democrats said no. Our leadership didn't make any progress at all
If we stay on our current trendlines, cases will close out tomorrow at around 40,000 and deaths will be between 430 and 460.
It's crazy that on the first day of this thread there were fewer cases (259) than there are dead (340) now
It's crazy that on the first day of this thread there were fewer cases (259) than there are dead (340) now
Oh, the number for today was revised upward to just over 35,000 today. That means we're still on the 1/3rd per day growth rate there, too. And tomorrow's number if we stay on the curve is 45,000-48,000
We're just past 46,000 positive cases tonight, up 11,000 from yesterday. Still on the 3-day doubling pace.
We're at 471 deaths, +131 from yesterday.
If we stay on trend, tomorrow we'll be between 60,000-63,000 cases and 620-650 deaths
We're at 471 deaths, +131 from yesterday.
If we stay on trend, tomorrow we'll be between 60,000-63,000 cases and 620-650 deaths
Trump made it clear today that he intends to start pushing for people to stop social distancing by early next week. Conservative media, conservative twitter, and the conservative blogs are all clearly on board for this. The consequences of this seem likely to be catastrophic
Infection count is up to 55,000. This is significantly lower than the 60,000 you'd have expected based on trend. That's not necessarily real, tho. More on that downthread.
Death count is up to 590, up 119 from yesterday. That is also a little better then forecast yesterday
Death count is up to 590, up 119 from yesterday. That is also a little better then forecast yesterday
When I say that the rate of growth of infections slowing down may not be real, what I mean is that we may now be limited by how many tests we can manufacture per day.
See this whole thread, but for this discussion this is the tweet that's interesting: https://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1242586914701615110

If manufacturing capacity is at 50k/day, that's gonna be a cap on how many cases we can identify. So we're back to where we were last month--we don't even have the ability to see how fast its moving. Even if manufacturing capability gets up to 100k in the next week, that's still
not even close to sufficient for what we need. It's going to be spreading faster than we can see, and the next proxy we can measure is going to be hospital utilization.

If we're at 33% per day growth, we'll be around 70,000 infections and 750-800 deaths tomorrow
We're at 69,000 known infections and 801 deaths tonight. Both of those are in line with continuing to double every 3 days.

The death count today was 211, which is just a little below the total case count on the first day I started keeping this thread. Good chance that the
daily death number passes that threshold tomorrow.
If we stay on our present course we'll be around 90,000 infections, passing China's total and becoming the most impacted nation, and 1050-1100 deaths tomorrow
If we stay on our present course we'll be around 90,000 infections, passing China's total and becoming the most impacted nation, and 1050-1100 deaths tomorrow
We passed China today for total infections. As I type this tonight the Johns Hopkins data shows 85,840 positive infections in the US. The death toll this morning was up 249 from yesterday and is now at 1,050.
The death toll is now higher than the case count was on March 10
The death toll is now higher than the case count was on March 10
There are widespread reports of hospitals hitting capacity and having to shift to hard triage for determining care. New York City and Atlanta both have hospitals at capacity and earlier tonight Andy Slavitt reported that a major midwest hospital also now can't provide ventilators
for all patients who need one.
Meanwhile our President went on Hannity tonight and said he doesn't believe that hospitals need the number of ventilators they say they need
Meanwhile our President went on Hannity tonight and said he doesn't believe that hospitals need the number of ventilators they say they need
Our numbers today are a little bit off of the double-every-3-days pace, but as I documented a few days ago, we appear to be constrained by the number of test kits that are physically available, so the case counts are systematically lowballing the reality of how many people are
carrying the virus. The death toll number is going to be the one to really keep an eye on going forward, and that metric, unfortunately, is still on the 3-day-double pace.
If we continue at the rate we have been, we'll have 100k-105k confirmed cases tomorrow and 1250-1400 dead
If we continue at the rate we have been, we'll have 100k-105k confirmed cases tomorrow and 1250-1400 dead
Tonight we're at 105k confirmed infections in the US with a cumulative death toll of 1296. The growth in cases marks a significant reduction in the percentage growth of known cases.
The death toll number is in the band for us to still be doubling that every 3rd day

Today Trump gave another petulant and petty display at the coronavirus briefing. He says the administration won't help states where the governors aren't nice enough to him, confirming an allegation from the governor of Michigan that vendors were being directed to withhold medical
supplies from Michigan. The degree of wrongness there is astounding to me.
If we continue current trends, we'll finish tomorrow at around 120k confirmed cases and with a death toll between 1650 and 1800
If we continue current trends, we'll finish tomorrow at around 120k confirmed cases and with a death toll between 1650 and 1800

Trump said he was thinking of quarantining NYC, which he doesn't have the power to do, then later the CDC issued a toothless travel advisory to not leave NYC. He keeps trying to play Big, Strong Man but he
doesn't understand what is happening, why it is happening, or what is going to happen next. He's never had to live with any challenge that wasn't self-inflicted, and he can't figure out why acting nice for a few days didn't magically fix everything
If we keep going at the present rate we're gonna finish tomorrow with 140,000-150,000 confirmed cases and 2,150-2,300 deaths. If we stay on our present trend through next Saturday, we'll have 14,000 dead, which is higher than Italy currently has, and the daily count will be 3,000
As bad as that sounds, ff we stay on our current pace, week after next gets really ugly.
("Our current pace" for deaths literally means the number of cases I reported in my tweet in this thread 16 days ago. We're 4 or 5 days into that being the case)
("Our current pace" for deaths literally means the number of cases I reported in my tweet in this thread 16 days ago. We're 4 or 5 days into that being the case)
Tonight we're at 143,000 confirmed cases in the US. That's up 18,000 from yesterday. It seems likely that this continues to be an artifact of test production capacity rather than a real reflection of infection spread.
The death toll today was 484; the cumulative toll is 2,191

The President held another absurdly off-the-rails press conference today. He attacked journalists for asking questions, claimed that he never said things that he's on video saying, and was generally detached from reality. So, a normal outing for him
On the plus side, though, he did say that the shelter in place and social distancing orders that are in place are going to remain so through April 30. That's better than the Easter bullshit he was floating earlier this week. I doubt he can stick with the new guidance, we'll see
If we keep on our current trends, we'll be between 160,000 and 170,000 confirmed cases tomorrow and the death toll will be between 2,600 and 2,800
Today we're up to 163,000 confirmed infections. The recorded death toll is 2,509, +318 from last night's number.
A note on my death toll figures, I'm getting them from the linked site. It updates in the morning, so the values I'm showing are a day back https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus#growth-country-by-country-view

Anyway, the note on where I'm sourcing the death toll numbers is because I want to be clear that the value reported tonight, 2,509, is actually a substantial improvement over projection. Unfortunately, I already know that the number tomorrow night is going to be
bad. It's past 3,000, which means we're still on the curve we've been on. The one that gets us to 14,000 dead on Saturday.
Fingers crossed that it slows down over the next 5 days. We should be seeing the results of the social distancing and the lockdowns, so there's hope still

Projected infections: 180k
Actual infections: 190k
Projected death toll: 3000

At Trump's daily emotional masturbation, errrrr, today's press briefing, he displayed an affect and a demeanor that the press are falling all over themselves to praise. It's like they haven't seen this movie before, and it's totally inexplicable to me. He'll be back to his
normal self within a few days.
Anyway, tomorrow's projection is 210,000 cases, still gated by test availability. Death toll will be around 3800 if we stay on this current course.

I'm growing concerned about what it looks like is about to happen in the rural south. Take a look at this shot from the Johns Hopkins tracking map
Republican governors all over the place continue to not really respond to the pandemic and I fear the consequences of this are about to become catastrophic. Here's a list of the governors who haven't issued stay-home orders https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/1245527995361746950
Anyway, I expect 230,000-240,000 confirmed cases and 5,000 cumulative deaths tomorrow, if we stay on our current trendlines
First day that I'm updating the death toll number in the morning.
The US death toll through last night is 5,138. This is +1,059 from the day before. Our present trendline suggests 1,500-1,800 deaths today.
1,800 would mean that more people die today of Covid than anything else

Tonight there are 245,000 positive cases in the US, up 30,000 from yesterday.
I expect 275,000-300,000 tomorrow. And it looks like Florida is probably on the brink of a catastrophe, with much of the rest of the rural South following not far behind. I really hope I'm wrong

Death toll this morning is up to 6,053, +915 yesterday. This is fewer deaths than on Wednesay, thank goodness for small blessings.
If we revert to the curve we'd been on there will be 1,500-2,000 deaths today. Hopefully we won't revert and the pace of growth is slowing
