California unfortunately has a huge backlog of pending test results. The cause seems to be the private labs (Quest in particular) accepted test samples and build up a huge backlog of the earlier manually processed test samples. Other labs would push back if their queue got too long. The newer samples are run on the Roche high speed machines.
The conspicuous lack of realistic infection data from India, coupled with the extreme challenges to containment and control there (just due to the sheer crowding) is frightening, regardless of whether the poor data is intentional or just because India is hard place to coordinate.<p>That the published infection and mortality rates are so low strains credulity in the extreme, especially when much smaller-population countries at similar proximity to the equator but greater distance from China have higher case rates (i.e Brazil, Ecuador, the UAE).
I developed this for myself but data junkies trying to get a feel for what is happening with the coronavirus spread across the San Francisco Bay Area will appreciate it.<p>I am updating it regularly.
@andfrob, just saw your comment about SF Chronicle removing their timelapse view.<p>We made one here from the NYT dataset on MintData [1]:<p><a href="https://nyt-map.covid42.com/" rel="nofollow">https://nyt-map.covid42.com/</a><p>(note: I think we need to update the cumulative counter, we'll be fixing that shortly)<p>@andfrob happy to get you free/unlimited access to MintData if you're interested in making similar visualizations, please DM me if this would be helpful.<p>[1] <a href="https://mintdata.com" rel="nofollow">https://mintdata.com</a>
Is anyplace in the Bay Area sharing stats by zipcode?<p>For example, San Diego has zipcode breakdown here: <a href="https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/phs/community_epidemiology/dc/2019-nCoV/status.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/phs...</a>
Very cool. By the way did you intend for the Y-axis on the "Days since 100 cases" chart to be "Days since 100 cases"? It seems like the Y-axis is "cases" and the X-axis is "Days since 100 cases".
