It’s not particularly useful for the question asked. Does the site explain what it calls a confirmed case? Is it using the CDC definition or is it presenting all officially reported “cases” as confirmed cases?

Can you explain what you’re driving at? Is it your contention that COVID cases are over-reported, misrepresented, something else?

I thought the Johns Hopkins site was pretty straightforward.

The CDC defines COVID cases differently from confirmed COVID cases. The site doesn’t give it’s definition. If they are considering documented cases as confirmed, that would greatly inflate the numbers from the CDC definition of confirmed cases.

The CDC considers a death certificate recording COVID as a COVID death. Doctors report being pressured to add COVID to death certificates in order to get the funding available for handling COVID patients, even when the patient was not confirmed as having COVID.

I couldn’t see that site’s definition for either confirmed case or COVID death.

How can that be? No one was there…remember?

Looks like they’re doing pretty well.

You forgot to mention the spike in California and the LA attributing it to protests and riots.

Any situation in which people are closely interacting increases the chances of person-to-person transmission, plain and simple. If people aren’t wearing masks, are indoors, and/or spending a long period of time together, the risk only increases. The recent increases could be partially due to business reopening, protests, social gatherings and the added factor of people getting quarantine fatigue - many people aren’t as careful as they should be. As of now, there is no clear data to show the protests directly causes the increase in cases but it’s possible and we may have a more clear idea soon.

So perhaps just not the riots.

Probably not. The LA mayor was pretty clear.

Probably wasn’t “just” any one thing in Texas or Florida either.
