I'm just roughly tracking these figures because the urls are constantly updated, and you can't to go back in time and retrieve previous numbers.

There's a lag time of about 4 weeks between infection and death.
We'll see in 4 weeks from the statewide stay at home order how this works out.

Is Los Angeles facing New York-level coronavirus disaster? Here is what we know

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-03-27/is-los-angeles-goi
ng-become-the-next-new-york-on-coronavirus-here-is-what-we-know


Is Los Angeles going to be the next New York when it comes to coronavirus?

Coronavirus cases have risen dramatically over the last week, and officials warn that things will get much worse in the next few weeks.

“A week or two from now, we will have images like we’re seeing in New York here in Los Angeles.” Mayor Eric Garcetti said Thursday

It will be bad — but how bad remains a question.

L.A. vs. New York

The mortality rate in L.A. County is about 1.8%, which is higher than the mortality rate in New York City and the United States overall, Ferrer said.

One factor in that is that Los Angeles County has tested far few people than New York, meaning it does not have as good a sense of the number of people with the virus. Almost 11,000 people had been tested in L.A. County as of Thursday, said Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

By contrast, New York City had reported 25,000 confirmed positive cases, she said.

So that rate will likely change as more people in L.A. are tested.

Los Angeles reported five more deaths Friday, bringing the county’s total to 26. The county reported an additional 257 cases Friday, bringing the total to 1,481. Of that total, 678 cases were reported over the last 48 hours.

“In less than a week ... we’ve more than tripled the number of people here in L.A. County who are positive for COVID-19,” Ferrer said.

She warned that if the county did not slow the spread of the virus, the region’s healthcare system would be overwhelmed.

Epidemiologists say they expect L.A. County’s case numbers to continue to grow, but that the social distancing recommendations may help stave off an outbreak as bad as New York’s. The measures went into effect in California early enough that they could have a significant impact, experts say.

New York City has more than 23,000 cases and more than 500 deaths.

Dr. Jacob Quinton, an internal medicine physician at UCLA, said doctors in L.A. and other cities that have not been hit yet as badly as New York are preparing for what the next weeks may hold.

“Many of us are sort of taking a deep breath before the plunge, and getting ready to meet the challenges that come,” he said. “Those that are already inundated with COVID cases are in the thick of a fight that feels very much like the defining medical challenge of our lives.”

What is the trajectory?

Ferrer said that our understanding of the outbreak and its trajectory will probably improve as testing increases and provides more data on how quickly the virus is spreading.

“The modeling is only as good as the data you have to enter into the model, and we’re really at a disadvantage here in L.A. County and the rest of California because we just haven’t done a lot of testing yet,” she said at a news conference Friday.

However, she said she thinks it is entirely possible that case numbers will continue to increase for three more weeks in L.A. County, as a recent University of Washington projection suggested. The model projected that California coronavirus cases would peak on April 25. It projects a total of 6,109 deaths through Aug. 4.

“I think those projections are probably on target given what we’re seeing,” Ferrer said of the April 25 peak date suggested by the researchers. Ferrer said she expects case numbers to continue to double every four to six days for weeks, given the rapid rise that has been seen so far in the region.

Rapid spread

She pointed to case numbers tripling over the last six days.

“Given what we know about spread from other places and given what our numbers are ... you can see that we’re likely to have a lot of people here that are going to be infected over the next three weeks. And that being said, the most important thing I think for the public on the modeling is to really understand the serio

Meanwhile...

57 million+ people are going to die in the world in 2020.

And a majority of COVID deaths are likely to be people who were going to be a part of that statistic by the end of the year because of the other illnesses they had that made them so weak to it in the first place.

We have the Amber Alert on our phones, and yesterday it blared out, repeatedly, in English and Spanish, that parks, trails, and beaches were closed. I didn'r catch whether that was a state or county order, LA CITY already has more enforced "shelter in place" orders.

I think what's really going to clobber our system is the #of homeless and illegals. I imagine COVID-19 spreading like wildfire among Skid Row and the many other homeless encampments in LA County. Hell, we've had a couple of disease scares among the homeless already. And then there are the marginally-housed illegals who live in their own set of encampments. Maybe CA will learn that you're not supposed to let people roost, like pigeons, in the untennanted parts of our economy, plucking them out ar random for odd jobs "as needed" or shuttling them thru one-night stints in the drunk tank. You either provide them full services or, if you can't provide reliable jobs and services, you kick them out. None of this halfway bullshit.

That's truth right there.

Around these parts, they will just issue you a $500 ticket if you're not complying. No joke, that's whats going to start happening in Illinois since people aren't behaving. Nothing gets the people in line like handing out ridiculous fines. Ask me about the 75 year old man I saw turned away from buying a bottle of booze because he couldn't provide an ID to a cashier that proved he was 21 back in my drinking days.

I imagine it would be pretty funny watching a cop hand out $500 tickets in an LA shanty town. Especially since cops pretty much let you do what you want to out there these days without intervening anyhow.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

So, looking at the various graphs at worldOmeter, it's obvious both China and Korea have beaten the virus back, for now.

China is relaxing restrictions, with caveats. People who don't have a green health card are still under mandatory quarantine. I don't trust their numbers, but if relaxing restrictions becomes enough of a problem, sooner or later it'll be obvious. SK is still maintaining intensive testing, social distancing, public mask-wearing, and contact tracing.

Transitioning from an epidemic response to a lower level of response might be possible, even when the causative agent is still around, and there's still no treatment or vaccine. I think if you can get the numbers low enough, long enough, you may be able to revert to contact tracing and individual quarantine. But I'd still keep mandatory mask-wearing in public, because it helps prevent people from spreading it to random strangers in crowded places.

Australia seems to be on the downward side of the curve.

Macao, Hong Kong, and Taiwan all instituted rigorous testing, contact tracing, and quarantine early, and their numbers were all consistently low, even as cases were exploding in China. But Hong Kong started relaxing restrictions (THANKS! Carrie Lam), and daily new cases went from consistently low single digits between Feb 15 - Mar 14, to spiking into double digits and what appears to be a relentless climb upwards, so that the most recent figure from yesterday was 65 new daily cases. That's still a low number, but on March 9 the US was at 163 new cases per day, and now we're at 19,000 new cases per day - so everything can change very quickly. Ah, the power of the exponential curve!

It's still too soon to tell, but after peaking at 6557 new cases per day on March 21, Italy may be plateauing. And it's even earlier to tell with Spain, but after peaking at 8271 new cases per day on March 27, it's seen a slight drop today.

Northern Europe has an up-down pattern though overall trending slowly upward.

Pretty much all other western European countries, plus the US are still on an accelerating upward path. New hotspots for the US are predicted to be "Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams told "CBS This Morning" on Friday."

We have the Amber Alert on our phones, and yesterday it blared out, repeatedly, in English and Spanish, that parks, trails, and beaches were closed. I didn't catch whether that was a state or county order, LA CITY already has more enforced "shelter in place" orders.

I think what's really going to clobber our system is the #of homeless and illegals. I imagine COVID-19 spreading like wildfire among Skid Row and the many other homeless encampments in LA County. Hell, we've had a couple of disease scares among the homeless already. And then there are the marginally-housed illegals who live in their own set of encampments. Maybe CA will learn that you're not supposed to let people roost, like pigeons, in the untenanted parts of our economy, plucking them out at random for odd jobs "as needed" or shuttling them thru one-night stints in the drunk tank. You either provide them full services or, if you can't provide reliable jobs and services, you kick them out. None of this halfway bullshit.

Well, even though the public at large pays for their presence, illegal aliens and the homeless can be so profitable for business.
