Daily Statistic and Graph of US and Worldwide cases and deaths

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.
