Title: death poll 7.0 (the deaths of july)
Post by: sys on July 01, 2020, 11:43:35 AM
results determined from worldometers at midnight cst, july 31.

this one's pretty interesting again after a couple of polls that were mostly mere extrapolation.  there are genuinely conflicting data and its also long enough out that you have to guess at behavioral responses.

Went with what I think was a pretty safe guess, but not my gut.

Gut says 7 day average will continue to fall and we'll see an average daily number of <483 which we'd need to be less than 15k (we're at 547 rn).  Assumign we stay on the current trend, we'd be at 483 in the next 10 days or so.  Safe guess is we hit an average north of there accounting for BS backdating crap that messes up my data and also accounts for the possibility that the 7 day will be stagnant or slightly rise.

Yeah Cire, I don't think either of those is totally out of the ordinary.  The Miami Herald one notes a minor disparity in the death total (like ~60 I think without going back and opening it up again), and the WFTV one says that back in march, covid deaths don't match the excess deaths.  That happens quite a bit throughout the states.

What in your gut thinks the lagging indicator of deaths isn't going to rise given the rising case counts?  Age of those geting new infections?

Deaths seem to have been largely detached from case fluctuations for a while.  I know -- it doesn't make sense to me either, but the numbers are what the numbers are.

Yeah.  Tentatively optimistic about this week's numbers so far, at least relative to last week's heavy acceleration.

i'm probably betraying my agreement with michigancat by saying that i don't know if you think it is going to go well past 155 or stay well under it.

we'll hit 145 today or tomorrow, with 9-10 days to go.  we haven't been averaging 1k/day yet, but there is some evidence for acceleration in today's numbers (but one day could totally just be a one off).  so, yeah, looks to me like there are pretty good arguments for either side of 155k.

That was def his first prediction, it was stupid as hell. I do think he revised to to 40 or 50k.

I will say barring anything spectacular one way or another, I think by the end of 2020, we'll probably be pretty close to 300k (and at least past 250k), and by full calendar year (March 2021) I think we'll be probably around 400k. Now that we have entered the nearly 1000/day average pretty regularly we'll unfortunately probably hang around that value for several weeks.

Now that we have entered the nearly 1000/day average pretty regularly we'll unfortunately probably hang around that value for several weeks.
“Assuming nothing crazy happens,” I think 300k by year end would be highly unlikely.   100k more by March seems even more unlikely.

Schools? People now being cooped up inside? It seems more likely to me, and this thing has powered through summer pretty well and is still slowly building.
Yeah I want to walk that back.  When I wrote that I was miscalculating how many days were left in the year. :blindfold:

300k by year's end is certainly possible.  I'd bet against it, but i'm chronically and incorrectly optimistic about this.

What was KSU-W's prediction again? 40k? I mean his modified prediction, of course. I believe his initial prediction was around 10k.

That was def his first prediction, it was stupid as hell. I do think he revised to to 40 or 50k.

I will say barring anything spectacular one way or another, I think by the end of 2020, we'll probably be pretty close to 300k (and at least past 250k), and by full calendar year (March 2021) I think we'll be probably around 400k. Now that we have entered the nearly 1000/day average pretty regularly we'll unfortunately probably hang around that value for several weeks.

Hey, I don't want it to happen either, but yeah, I can understand that it seems damn near impossible that this year still has over 150 days/5 months to more to go. Feels like the end of the year should happen like two months from now, but it was like when we crossed the "100 days to election!" a few days ago and I'm like, "100 days? holy crap this is still forever away"

That's just where my calcs (guess) came from, I will admit I think 300k is probably on the high end, but like, not that high.

From a populous state viewpoint, who hasn't had a big spike above normal death rate? That will give some insight to what we can expect for the next few months.

Thanks, sys. I'm taking a [tragic] victory lap today.

I think Ohio? but it looks like a lot of states are slowly trending back up

i haven't thought of a question i'm excited to poll yet.  not really feeling a generic august poll, feels to me like those numbers are pretty set.

I heard on the national news today that positive cases were down this week, but that total testing was also down. I wasn't sure why that would be the case.

i think testing is down because of inclement weather in florida and texas along with reporting delays in california.

California becomes the third state to go over 10k deaths.
