Karnataka provides very detailed information on all its discharges and deaths in its daily bulletin
I scraped that data (from Jul-14 to Sep-10), and this thread contains a detailed analysis #CoronavirusInIndia

This follows the pattern of Odisha& #39;s analysis, but is more detailed
To avoid clutter, the following conventions are used

DISCHARGES:
From the Patient no.,we can calculate the date of confirmation. This allows us to estimate the interval between Confirmation-Discharge
- Distribution is bimodal (2 peaks)
- Peak at ~7 days (due to mild/asymp.)
- Peak at 14-16 days (due to severe/symp. )

BLR vs ROK:
- 2nd peak very pronounced for BLR compared to ROK
=> Proportion of severe patients is significantly higher in BLR
- 2nd peak very pronounced for BLR compared to ROK
=> Proportion of severe patients is significantly higher in BLR
How has this changed over time:
mean values:
Sep: 11.1 days
Aug: 10.8 days
- Lower interval implies (proportionately) fewer severe patients
- Early positive sign in slight down-slope of Linear fit
- Need more data from Sep to conclusively prove improvement

SUMMARY (Conclusions from the data)
Discharges:
- BLR discharge distribution(strong peak around 14-16 days) indicates BLR is mostly detecting severe/symp. cases
- ROK is detecting mostly mild/asymp. cases (single peak around 7 days)

- ROK is detecting mostly mild/asymp. cases (single peak around 7 days)
Deaths:
- Fatalities are overwhelming old and male. This hasn& #39;t changed over time
- Most fatalities have co-morbidites (similar to OD)
- Fewer fatalities in BLR have co-morbidities (vs ROK)
- Younger have *far* fewer co-morbidities

- Most fatalities have co-morbidites (similar to OD)
- Fewer fatalities in BLR have co-morbidities (vs ROK)
- Younger have *far* fewer co-morbidities
- High fraction of SARI/ILI deaths indicates community transmission is well-established since July(especially in BLR)
- In July patients(especially in BLR) died very soon after admission (~1 day). This has improved to >6 days in Sep.
- In July patients(especially in BLR) died very soon after admission (~1 day). This has improved to >6 days in Sep.
- Most patients are confirmed *after* being admitted (typically 2-3 days later)
- Deaths are typically reported(in bulletin) 2-3 days after they occur
- Deaths are typically reported(in bulletin) 2-3 days after they occur
Kudos to Karnataka for providing such detailed data in its bulletin. If other states provided even half as much information, we& #39;d know a lot more about India& #39;s epidemic @epigiri

Apologies for the (very) long thread length, but I thought it was better to analyze all of Karnataka& #39;s data in one place , in a single thread
