Another NYPD officer died of coronavirus today, bring the total number of police officers killed by the epidemic to 29. By comparison, NYPD lost 23 officers on 9/11.

New York City police department has lost 29 members to Covid-19 [CNN]

The New York Police Department said it has lost another member to Covid-19, bringing the total number of virus-related NYPD deaths to 29...

More than 4,000 members of the NYPD have tested positive for the virus, the NYPD said in its daily report. As of Saturday, 5,324 uniformed members of the NYPD -- about 14.7% of the uniformed work force -- were out sick.

At one point, almost 20% of the force was out sick, the department said, and more than 2,000 have returned to work after recovering.

Of those out sick, about 1,855 uniformed members and 375 civilian members have been diagnosed with coronavirus.

The US hit another landmark today - 40,000 deaths. That's almost double the number of deaths in Spain and over double the number of deaths in France- two of the nations with the highest number of deaths in March.

Very, very sad. I think it will climb to 60,000. If we reopen too soon, or without proper restrictions, it will be more.

Australia did the best if they didn't let the cruise ship passengers walking around spreading
considering they already quarantined people from Wuhan in Christmas Island for 14 days before that.

^I dislike the lack of context this "landmark" provides.

The sheer number of the dead is terrible.

But I would rather have a sense of the rate of death different geographical units are enduring.

Is there a good reason why that isn't the standard?

Is there a good reason why that isn't the standard?

It is why I look at cases and deaths per million.

Belgium is currently the highest at 490 deaths per million followed by Spain at 437, Italy at 391 and France at 302 as of today. A gauge of the effectiveness of testing, tracing and treating as well as containment is to look at what is happening in neighbouring countries. For instance, Germany has only 54 deaths per million

The US rate has been increasing steadily and is currently at 121, with Canada at 40 deaths per million.

The US is currently showing 2280 cases per million while Canada has 900 cases per million. This puts the US at about the same rate as France and a little lower than Italy. Spain today has 4191 cases per million.

This requires the context of testing. The US has a testing rate of 11,492 per million versus Canada at 14,302, whereas Italy, Spain and Germany are in the 20,000 to 22,000 tests per million range. France lags at 7,103, which could mean significant under-reporting of active cases.

For even more perspective, South Korea, which reported its first active cases the same day as the US, has, as a result of swift containment and testing, kept its cases per million at 208 asof today, with a death rate of 5 per million with 10,905 tests per million.

The US rate has been increasing steadily and is currently at 121, with Canada at 40 deaths per million.

It's also a good way to measure whether infection control measures are working:

• Finland implemented very strict control measures on 16-Mar. Saturday they reported 3,681 cases (669 cases/million) and 90 deaths (16 deaths/million)
• Sweden has not put in social distancing and is only has high risk people in quarantine. Saturday, they had 14,276 cases (1,400 cases/million) and 1,541 deaths (151 deaths/million).

Sweden made a decision to try to build "herd immunity" by allowing their population to become infected. They've continued social gatherings and have left bars and restaurants open. They have paid the price with a case rate that is double Finland and a death rate that is 10 times the rate in Finland.

[belamyi]

^ Couldn't quite understand Sweden's approach, except ... Ingmar Bergman.

In terms of population density, Sweden is closer enough to places like Finland, than to any "real", heavily (USA) or densely (Singapore, UK) or both (India, China) populated countries, as well as in social dynamics (higher rate of people living alone) to dare betting on a bold approach like "herd immunity".
The scattering of the population in Greece has been said to have helped them too... at least, so far, not counting what may or may not happen with the refugee population.
As of today, with about the same population, compare the experiences of Greece, Portugal, Sweden and Belgium in this crisis.

...Sweden made a decision to try to build "herd immunity" by allowing their population to become infected...

But doesn't that work only when the other people gain immunity? Like with vaccination. Getting this infection doesn't appear to confer immunity.

 

[KaraBulut]

But doesn't that work only when the other people gain immunity? Like with vaccination. Getting this infection doesn't appear to confer immunity.

It's early but the virus is similar to SARS and there was humoral immunity conferred from post-exposure sampling of antibodies (i.e. IgG) from patients who had recovered from SARS. One study of recovered SARS patients found that the IgG levels remained fairly constant for 24 months post exposure. The high levels of IgG would mean that there was a persistence of antibodies that would likely provide resistance to reinfection.

In addition, after the SARS epidemic, there were successful trials going on for a SARS vaccine (the was abandoned when the epidemic subsided and the vaccine was deemed no longer needed).

There's also been some success with COVID-19 patients receiving convalescent plasma from recovered patients which hints that there is immune globulin in the plasma that is effective against the virus.

This gives reasons to be optimistic that COVID-19 does confer immunity to reinfection and it gives reason to be optimistic that there may be a vaccine available within a year to 18 months.

Sweden - 15,322 (up from 14,777 / 3.7%) - 1,756 deaths

The UK was, at first, trying to pursue a strategy similar to Sweden. After a few weeks of escalating cases with high mortality, the deaths of NHS workers and the near-death of the Prime Minister, the UK has switched to social distancing and their new cases have started to decline but they are now in 5th place in the number of cases and deaths worldwide.

Without seeing the video and its origins...I couldn't even begin to hazard a guess. I see no reason why bodies of people with COVID would be washing up on a beach though. Doesn't make any sense at all.

NYC Transit workers have also been hit hard by COVID-19. So far, 68 of them have died.

'I don't want this job to kill me': why have 68 New York transit workers died during the pandemic? [The Guardian]

...for the 50,000-plus people employed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), just turning up for work has become a matter of life or death.

So far about 2,400 transit workers have tested positive for the coronavirus while 4,000 are quarantined. Sixty-eight workers have died...

Some are angry that the MTA did not move more quickly to protect them. On 4 March, according to documents seen by the Guardian, a note from an MTA official to transit staff instructed them not to wear masks because “since a mask is not part of the authorized uniform and not medically recommended at this time they may not be worn by uniformed MTA employees”.

Ohio put in a stay-at-home order early- on 23-Mar - one of the earliest States with a Republican governor to put in aggressive measures.

Within two weeks of the stay-at-home order, Ohio's cases dropped from a 25% increase on 24-Mar to 4.4% on 15-Apr. Since 15-Apr, Ohio's cases have been increasing steadily back to the 12-14% range in daily increases.

This is why:

Marion prison becomes nation’s leading coronavirus hotspot as advocates demand action [Columbus Dispatch]

As coronavirus spreads rapidly through the Marion Correctional Institution, making the central Ohio prison apparently the nation’s top hot spot for COVID-19, advocates for both corrections officers and inmates say the state is not doing enough to protect either...

Through Monday, 1,950 of about 2,500 prisoners at the Marion prison have tested positive for COVID-19, along with 154 staff members, about a third of the prison’s workforce. One guard, John Dawson of Mansfield, has died, as has one inmate. Another 34 prisoners have been hospitalized.

The Marion prison is now by far the nation’s top hot spot for the coronavirus, a compilation by The New York Times shows. Because of the prison spike, Marion County’s overall infection rate of 3,172 cases per 100,000 residents also is the highest in the country.

Arkansas, which has no stay-at-home order in place, also has the same problem:

38 percent of Arkansas COVID-19 cases concentrated in state prison [The Hill]

Thirty-eight percent of Arkansas’ coronavirus cases are concentrated in a maximum-security prison, Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) said in a Tuesday briefing.

Hutchinson said that the state’s total cases stand at 2,227, which includes 850 inmates at Cummins Prison who are infected with the virus.

The state saw an increase of 304 cases between Monday and Tuesday, with 260 of the new positive tests coming from the prison....

The facility holds about 1,200 inmates, meaning the majority are now infected, along with 10 staffers. “We’re trying to curtail it, we’re trying to know exactly where we stand in that prison environment,” Hutchinson said.

Is there any credence for the article I recently read regarding an earlier wave (Late Dec - Mid Jan) that may have hit San Francisco and LA? I ask this because all of my coworkers and I got sick with a very nasty flu/cold during that time frame. For me, it lasted just over 2 weeks.

...In December and January, I also heard stories from colleagues in emergency rooms and hospital ICUs in the US that there were some respiratory viruses circulating that were making people unusually sick. Several mentioned younger people who were sick with pneumonia for weeks. While these may not have been COVID-19, it was an atypical virus since the respiratory smears that tested for influenza, SARS, MERS, RSV and other common respiratory viruses were coming back negative.

Follow-up to this discussion... reports are beginning to come out that there were cases of COVID-19 much earlier than the Washington state outbreak in March:

Two Californians died of coronavirus weeks before previously known 1st US death [CNN]

New autopsy results show coronavirus killed two Californians in early and mid-February -- up to three weeks before the previously known first US death from the virus.

These deaths now stand as the country's first two attributed to the novel coronavirus, a development that may change the understanding of how early the virus was spreading in the country, health experts told CNN Wednesday.

Two deaths in Northern California's Santa Clara County happened February 6 and February 17, the county said in a news release Tuesday...

Dr. Sara Cody, the county's chief medical officer, told The New York Times that the two had no known travel histories to China or anywhere else that would have exposed them to the virus. They are presumed to have caught the virus through community spread, she told the Times.

What does this tell us?

• In March, when the Washington outbreak occurred, there was also a cluster of 32 cases reported in Santa Clara county. This autopsy finding in February moves the timeline in Santa Clara county back into January.
• Neither of these deaths were in people who have traveled to China. This means they contracted the virus in the United States from another person.
• Based upon what we know about the 4-14 day incubation period for the virus, the 6-February death means that this person contracted the virus in late January.
• Based upon what we know about the mortality of the virus, 1 in 20-25 persons will die of the virus. These two deaths are a hint that there was a sizeable group of infected people in California in January.
