Maps, science, data & statistics tracking of COVID-19

Lot of people in UK have not been scheduled for their second vaccination yet, this was not their choice. My friend who lives there is 35 and only recently got her second shot, just this week I believe. It goes by age over there, and unlike USA, they still do not have surplus shots. in USA we were spoiled with so many shots, and lot of numpkins not even willing to get one jab.

Understood. She also would have not been included in those numbers unless she was a confirmed case. Then if she was a confirmed case she'd be listed under the appropriate column.

I just find it interesting the praise of the process only to disagree with it or call it selective when they release numbers. Its as if one is Cheering Policy but Frowning on Numbers & Data. Numbers will change for the better or worse as time goes on.

Here are Portugal's updated numbers this week.



The pics are, in order, last day updated numbers and every day since then until yesterday's numbers (click for full picture), and the below numbers are current totals, week totals and daily averaged this week:

- 44933 active cases --- 5121 less --- 732 less per day
- 924567 recovered --- 21053 more --- 3008 more per day
- 17467 fatalities --- 98 more --- 14 more per day
- 986967 confirmed infected --- 16030 more --- 2290 more per day

- 15715967 tests taken --- 501673 more --- 55741 more per day but was last updated August 7th and it includes antigen tests as well
- 12273911 vaccinated --- 617118 more --- last updated last yesterday but that corresponds to 6959984 1st doses + 5313927 2nd doses
- 849 hospitalized --- 74 less --- 11 less per day
- 184 in ICU --- 16 less --- 2 less per day

Week fatalities increased VS last week. The R number decreased again, with it now being 0.92 on average. Roughly 69% of Portugal's population has received the vaccine's 1st dose and roughly 52.8% are fully vaccinated.

The new daily cases dropped again, but not as significantly as last week: let's hope they continue to drop further as we edge ever closer to 1M cases. Both hospitalized and ICU numbers have dropped VS last week: this didn't happen for quite some time.

My connecting flight to England goes through Portugal, I really hope it's a nice airport and everyone wears a mask in that airport... It's really going to be my main risk factor, is waiting for the connecting flight... and waiting for the original flight. Hopefully neither of the planes are packed... hoping I can social distance sit... we'll see...

Covid is the most annoying crap in the world. Cause it's not deadly enough to really cause massive change to eradicate it overnight like the Spanish Flu was or historical pandemics, but it kills just enough to ruin everything else, and increase the continually ruining of everything, probably for the rest of our life. You can say a jab every year all you want, but just like the flu, some won't get it, and hot spots will always be a thing for rest of our lives. Like in Florida right now.

It's also geographic in the UK, some high population areas are a little behind, my youngest daughter is 29 and gets her 2nd jab tomorrow, my eldest daughter is 36 and had her 2nd jab weeks ago, pretty much 3/4 of the adult population now has had 2 jabs, hospitalisations remain at around 1/7th of what they were with similar case rates in late January (Alpha variant dominant) and fatalities are considerably lower, point to note (again) that the majority of hospitalisations and fatalities are from the no or single jab population which I have said before, there are a proportion of double jab people who have been hospitalised or have died, these fall well within efficacy estimates ..............................



I am no statistician, but if you think that most serious flu cases occur between October and March annually, this is where just England sat in 2018 with Influenza, I am guessing the ambition is to try to reduce the current threat closer to those levels to reduce social/economic impact, I by nature am sceptical but only time will tell ...................

Monday is actually a bad day to get stats. I feel like the "weekend" biases the results. I already copy/pasted the data into here today though... I'll just try to remember to grab one tomorrow.

how is it bad? only 4 deaths. seems pretty good to me. testing positive doesn't mean anything anymore. its the deaths and hospitals that matter now.

Positive tests = community spread = more hospitalizations/deaths//opportunities for virus to further evolve

not if your vaccinated. 0.001% chance of that if vaccinated, latest numbers direct from CNN yesterday. was on the front page of their site.

if you didn't get vaccinated tough luck at this point. if you immunocompromised you can still get the vaccine, and pay $10 out of pocket once a month to check on your antibody levels. if they fall to low, you can request special permission from your doctor for a booster. doctor prob won't say no in special circumstances like that.

This is what leads to mistrust

CNN says 99.999% = 0.001%

Then they say unvaccinated have 25x more of a chance

0.001 x 25 = 0.025

So UnVaccinated have a 99.975%

That doesnt get ratings so they leave that out.

Your chances of dying from cancer are 0.00001%. The differences you’re talking about are gigantic.

Mortality for Covid per 100k as of Aug 8
187.92

The overall cancer death rate (per 100,000 population) in 2014-2018 was 155.5, with a higher rate in males (185.5) than in females (133.5)

So deaths per day because of Covid at its peak in Dec 2020 is equal to a whole year of deaths from Influenza at its peak year? that is like 360x more fatality rate and there never was any lockdown because of Influenza in history.

An NFL player that tested positive for Covid a month ago, was his second time getting covid, first time was late November 2020 same as me. Good thing I got my jab in early June. The NFL player said lots of fatigue and lots of sleep, but back to normal now.

but, I mean if Delta can do even that to a world class athlete...

I think I will get my second jab soon... prob middle to late August, moving up my timeline from late September...

I thought it has been said and repeated many times - it is not just about the mortality rate. It is about reducing hospitalization and not overwhelmed the hospitals ER and ICU departments. It is about patients care and not suffering. It is about allowing other non-Covid patients to receive their care, including ER and ICU. The mortality rate of Covid is lower than the Spanish flu. The advancement in medicine has made that possible.

Many Covid patients were on ventilators and survived, but suffered long term effects known as "long Covid" - scarring of the hearts and lungs, brain fog, etc. Look them up. These long term effects will also increase future medical costs and insurance for all of us. Scientists are still studying these long term effects.

I'm not convinced my state collects statistics correctly over the weekend. Monday statistics are always slightly different from Tuesdays / Wednesdays, or really any other day of the week.

Covid related deaths in my city is reported to be around 300 per day (we have been under strict lockdowns for over a month now), but undisclosed information from 1 cremation center that they are overbooked by 16k orders . Delta variant is really wreaking havoc here as it is highly contagious even under hot climate, I guess aerosol spread faster under hot climate?
I guess only vaccination + strict social distancing can save us now.

yeah, really wish I had invested in a little camper for nature get aways in 2019. prices are too high now. seems I am not only one with that idea.

 

[dragontamer5788]

As you can see, its Tuesday, and every single number is "worse" than Monday's numbers.

As stated last time: I don't trust Monday data! I think the officials collecting go "easy" on the weekends and maybe lose a few cases or something. I dunno. But its pretty consistent. Either that, or maybe people don't like going to the hospital on a Sunday and prefer to tough it out until Monday (which won't be collected in the statistics until Tuesday at the earliest).

It happened last July/August too.

People tend to congregate at indoor locations during July/August because of the heat. In contrast, Spring / Fall are safer, because more people prefer the outdoors when the weather is fair and pleasant.

There's something going on with Portugal's vaccination numbers:

VS

This 1st pic i actually posted last week (still no numbers for this week) and the 2nd pic was taken from today's main report: notice the difference?

Last week it was all over the news that Portugal had reached 70% with 1st dose TWO DAYS ahead of schedule. Yet, according to our main report, we still haven't achieved 70% and the number posted is actually LOWER than what's posted in the vaccination dedicated page FROM LAST WEEK, so which is it ...? And i'm not even talking about 2nd doses, where the difference is way WAY higher.

Jeez. This is beginning to get shared around.

Eight ICU beds left in all of Arkansas.

Is that the same governor who admitted on TV last week he regretted saying no masks needed or something?

I 100% believe in less government for most things, but I also don't think a mask is that big of a deal.

They locked down the nursing homes in my small town again, for the first time in a long long time. Odd too, because my county is 70% vaccinated (more I think now actually, its been awhile since I checked on it). Surprised they locked down the nursing homes, all the nursing home patients have both jabs. They should simply require a CDC card showing you had both jabs before you can enter imo, besides isolating already lonely people...

Honestly, this most recent development, and it being so local. Is really confusing the crap out of me. I literally can't stand covid anymore.

So who wants to go half and half on a cabin in the woods and grow our own food and chill and read and swim in a pond?

Or buy a sailboat and go live on remote islands and eat coconuts and fish. @yotano211 LOL

LOL

I've tried that and oddly enough the Government still wants money so it's hard to live off the land without an income, if you own the land, might be different if you squat and totally go off the grid.

There's no escaping Covid. You can live in an isolated cabin but you are still going to need some food that you can't get from growing on your property or hunting so into town you go. You're going to need fuel so into town you go. You're going to need clothes and shoes so into town you go. You're going to need medical appointments and prescriptions so into town you go. You're going to need dental work so into town you go. Family members are going to pass away occasionally so you would have to go to funerals and also possibly have to fly on crowded airlines.
