Statistics and graph are updated daily so you can see when the curve begins to flatten and we can discuss what it means:

US Coronavirus Confirmed Cases and Deaths 2020-04-09.
US death rate flattens and world death rate declines slightly. But total deaths continue to rise sharply so it is no time to start relaxing mitigation. We will reach 100,000 deaths worldwide in the next few days.

I think data statistics are useful and appreciate the work you have done for all of us statistics sponges 🙂 I am a little concerned that the number of deaths may be skewed even though there is the opposite argument that they are going under reported. Sometimes it's hard to know who to believe including the CDC. I'm highly suspect of the World Health Organization but that is another story.

John, all
Statistics are just tools we use to measure things that need to be managed. One philosophy is that if you can't measure it, you can't manager it effectively. As to the accuracy of the statistics, one of my engineering economic research manager heros taught me that when modeling things any number is better than no number. Then you can refine the numbers as more information becomes available.

I agree that the statistics on coronavirus confirmed cases and deaths are not perfect. The number of deaths as a percent of confirmed cases keeps rising (now about 5% instead of original 3.4% versus predicted 1-2%). I think this is due primarily to lack of accurate testing of entire population. And as you indicate the deaths reported are not 100% accurate as they may be due to the underlying medical issues rather than coronavirus. However, I do think the statistics are well within the correct order of magnitude and paint a picture of a very serious worldwide pandemic that we all are dealing with,and racing to find safe and effective vaccines and treatments for.

US Coronavirus Confirmed Cases and Deaths 2020-04-10.
No flattening yet for US or the world. The positive flattening in New York is being overshadowed by the other growing US hot spots including Michigan, Illinois, and New Jersey.

My daughter talked to her cousin in New Zealand. They are doing a great job in containing the virus. They have about 1000 cases, all of them were from people returning from traveling to other countries. They followed self quarantine guidelines. There were no person to person contact cases. There are only 2 deaths. So far they have more people recovering than being infected. They have closed the border to foreign travelers, very strict stay at home restrictions, and everybody is expected to comply and from the statistics, they are confident that they can get over this crisis sooner than any country.
