Florida breaks record with more than 21,000 new COVID cases

My god! You think that someone is manually inputting the figures onto the worldometer website!

And as clearly you have no basic knowledge of maths. I will show you the baby steps to be used in calculating active cases per million and percentage of infected that have recovered using the figures from worldometer for Virginia and Ohio:

Virginia: Population = 8.535519 million, Total Active cases = 628,226, Total cases = 697939
Therefore percentage of population recovered = (697939-628226) divided by 697939 multiplied by 100 = 9.98%
Active cases per million population = 628226 divided by 8.535519 = 73,601 per million

Ohio:
Population = 11.6891 million, Total active cases = 18,108, Total cases = 1131029
Therefore percentage of population recovered = (1131029-18108 ) divided by 1131029 times 100 = 99.8%
Therefor Active cases per million = 18108 divided by 11.689100 = 1549 per million

Now since you think that the active case numbers in worldometer are accurate why don't you explain why the recovery rate is 10 times higher in Oho than in Virginia?

To make it even simpler for you to see, the second wave peak in california and Florida were in mid January. The recovery time is about three weeks so why does the graph showing active cases not drop three weeks after the peak like it does for Florida?

I realize its beyond your understanding but it is the best practical visual for your average mask promoter.
Just out of curiosity, if we had an Ebola outbreak with thousands infected like we do with Covid, would you walk among the masses in grocery stores with your ear loop mask unafraid? Because, according to you, these mask work for viral contagions so it wouldn't be a problem for you. Right?

 

Oh dear, Ebola is not spread through the air!

 

I watch it every day. And I watch the updates every day.

Which is 0.073601 = 7.3% Not 73,000 per million population

Which is why none of your numbers work with anything on the chart.

 

So?

You need to go back to school! 7.3% and 73,000 per million are the same

 

I didn't say it was. I asked you a question. Body fluid transmission includes people who cough and or sneeze. How about Tuberculosis.
Would you depend on your ear loop mask for protection?

 

Wasn't it you who said

Last I checked 7% of 628226 wasn't 73,000. But I am sure your math can prove it otherwise

 

LOL You specifically stated a mask for protection against Ebola! Can't be bothered with your whataboutisms

 

Your math is WRONG.(in the context of what was being claimed)

You should re-read the thread.

He arrived at his number by:

Dividing 628226 by 8.535519

628226 divided by 8.535519 = 73,601 per million

NOTHING to do with 7%.

Try again.

 

So you think there are 73,000 per million infected in Virginia?
Good to know

 

In other words, you wouldn't depend on your ear loop mask for Tuberculosis but you just don't want to say it.

 

The data is not added manually! Do you really think that worldometer, a private website, employs the hundreds of thousands of staff needed to manually input every figure for every county/state/district of every country in the world? Simple software automatically grabs the data off the initial sources. Many of those sources don't update their figures other than deaths and new cases

Oh dear! No one said 7% of 628226 is 73000! 7.3% of the total population is 628226. Please go and attend some evening maths classes

 

Worldometer manually analyzes, validates, and aggregates data from thousands of sources in real time and provides global COVID-19 live statistics for a wide audience of caring people around the world.

Worldometer is cited as a source in over 10,000 published books and in more than 6,000 professional journal articles and was voted as one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association (ALA), the oldest and largest library association in the world.

We collect and process data around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Multiple updates per minute are performed on average by our team of analysts and researchers who validate the data from an ever-growing list of over 5,000 sources under the constant solicitation of users who alert us as soon as an official announcement is made anywhere around the world.

You were saying?

Says the guy who thinks his number show 73,000 infected per million in Virginia.

 

No, you are the one who thinks that all the figures for active cases in worldometer are accurate and it's you who thinks that the 73000 per million must be a valid figure given that the 73000 per million is the figure that is calculated using the figures quoted in worldometer

As you think that the active numbers in worldometer are accurate I'm still waiting for you to explain: "why the recovery rate is 10 times higher in Oho than in Virginia?"

 

They don't literally enter figures one by one!

Please attend some evening basic maths classes

 

Seems Virginia is the one reporting their own numbers to World View
https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/covid-19-in-virginia/

 

You say they don't, they say they do. I just watched California's numbers go from 1,800,690 to 1,813,460 in the last two hours. Somebody in putting in the data.

 

The updates will be carried out automatically using simple software the data grabbed off the Californian data base. Wordlometer say that they manually analyse, validate and aggregate the data, not manually capture the data as capturing the data is a simple task done automatically.

 

Notice that the site does not give Active Case Numbers? It just gives Total Cases, Hospitalisation numbers and Deaths. And if you hover over that data you will see that the data is a spreadsheet. These three numbers are what Worldometer will grab automatically. From these numbers Worldometer can automatically calculate daily cases and daily deaths for Virginia. It cannot give Active case numbers because the number of recovered is not reported. The Active case number will change due to the algorithm that WorldOmeter uses - the value will increase by the number of new daily cases minus the number of new daily deaths and will produce a nonsense number because the number recovered is not available
Active Cases = (total cases up to yesterday + new cases today) - (total deaths up to yesterday + new deaths today) - (recovered number yesterday + recovered number today)
