Unfortunately this, just like many others, is inaccurate because it is only based on reported cases and so far America hasn't tested very many people

- sitzkrieg 7y agoits the best one can do
- phaemon 7y agoYes, they're only reporting on cases they know about. They're not reporting on cases they don't know about. Thank you Captain Obvious, once again you save the day!
- abacadaba 7y agoMaybe could make a site that tracks the Bayesian probability of infection rate? (not 100% sure if I'm using those words right)
- gboesel 7y agoIf you read the introductory information at the top of the site (pasted below), I totally agree with that the amount of testing is VERY important. It's why I show the daily testing numbers and also calculate the RATE of testing for each state, so there's at least a reference for how states are doing comparatively. ---- Why is having accurate stats on the number of tests so important? By definition, a confirmed case is one confirmed by a positive test for COVID-19. If your state isn't doing much testing, then you won't have many confirmed cases. However, there could still be a high number of people with coronavirus in your state, they just haven't been counted yet.
