Global confirmed cases should reach the 1.5 million mark today...
Yesterday we saw the largest daily jump in deaths with 7,380 deaths related to covid-19 , of which 820 came from French nursing homes (France is still catching up with the numbers from nursing homes so it does not necessarily mean that all these deaths happened in a single day)
As I have been explaining for few days, since April 3rd France has been adding cases and deaths that are occurring in nursing homes.
While this is the correct thing to do, the method is questionable as they are simply adding these large numbers at the moment when they are reported... this is skewing the data dramatically...
... additionally, nursing homes don’t report on weekend, so we don’t expect to see real consistency for some time...
Just to help you visualise this point, here is the curve minus the French data; a top is definitely forming...
There were 1,970 deaths in the US, by far the largest number reported in a single day by any country
Since yesterday, there have been more deaths in the US related to covid-19 than during the 2009 Swine Flu...
