Thought I thought I'd try a new thread devoted exclusively to COVID tables, figures, charts, and tabular data. Commentary on these submissions are welcome. However, please refrain from turning this into another thread of axe-grinding against your least favorite politician. Also, if you have citations and links USE THEM.

I have constructed three charts on US Covid confirmed cases, fatality totals, and growth rates. I have included "best fit" trendlines. Note that all pandemics tend to follow an "S curve" where the rate climbs exponentially, then more or less linear, then curves over the top. WHEN the top is reached is a matter of guesswork and modeling.

My charts, however, have no "top end" because they assume no particular end date for the pandemic. Therefore they are illustrative, not depositive.

As of 3/30 Here is the first:



This is a chart I constructed from Worldometer Daily Case Data. Starting March 14th (inclusive) the daily cumulative totals of confirmed cases were entered, upto 3/30 (inclusive). The trendlines were added by spreadsheet built-in functions (polynomial) that closely matched the data gathered so far, providing a forecast that will eventually end when the new case rate moderates and then drops. That date is unknown.

PS I have no idea how or why I cannot delete the previous version chart below, so I posted with it.

Below are the Fatality Trends for the Covid-19 virus. As of 3/30.

 
Who is flattening the curve the best or the worst so far? Check out the slopes



 
In response to another thread discussion of declining growth rates, I constructed a chart of my calculated moving averages starting the 17th. As of the 30th, that decline continues.
