Paulding: 24 Cases 0 Deaths
12566 tests given - 2809 Positive =22.4% Positive

I'm keeping the history data on spreadsheet for now. This was getting too long.
 
Strange that it still doesn’t show the confirmed cases in Thomas County.

7 cases in Thomas from the GDPH

Mon 3/30 Evening - Statewide Cases: 3032 Ga Hospitalized: 773 Ga Deaths: 102
Paulding: 26 Cases 0 Deaths
13457 tests given - 3032 Positive =22.5% Positive
 
Whew - Almost 800 new cases since 7:00 PM yesterday. That ain't good!

Some interesting statistics I calculated:

0.036% of the Ga population has been confirmed to have it.
3.43% of the Ga Hospital beds available are now filled with Corona sufferers.

Tues 3/31 noon - Statewide Cases: 3817 Ga Hospitalized: 818 Ga Deaths: 108
Paulding: 28 Cases 0 Deaths
16181 tests given - 3817 Positive =23.6% Positive
 
And the more I see the numbers the more irritated I get what we've crapped the economy over it. Call me a hard butt I guess but the numbers just don't justify the impact...JMHO.
 
0.0388% of the Ga population has been confirmed to have it.
3.71% of the Ga Hospital beds available are now filled with Corona sufferers.
Not sure what the overload point is since they are cancelling everything they can. But figure most times the hospitals are at 80% capacity or they couldn't survive financially.

We had a 1000 cases found in the last 24 Hours. We have to hope that was a fluke due to testing backlog or this is gonna be bad.

Tues 3/31 7:00 PM - Statewide Cases: 4117 Ga Hospitalized: 885 Ga Deaths: 125
Paulding: 31 Cases 0 Deaths
16181
tests given - 4117 Positive =25.4% Positive

Note that 16181 tests is only 0.1524% of the Ga population. Yet over half the counties of the state have a confirmed case.

Note that of tests given in the last 4 days, 33% of them have been positive for Corona.
 
My wife's friends husband was tested 9 days ago, and as of this morning they had no results. There must be a heck of a backlog still to come in with that many new tests being done, so I wouldn't find it unusual to have big jumps in the numbers. I try to relate how many new cases we have had, to the incubation period and when we started started to hunker down at home. I think in another 10 days we should start to see a flattening out of new cases, then rock along for another couple weeks before it starts to noticeably fall off. IMHO. Keep your fingers crossed.
 
Up another 500 cases from last night. With the testing delays, we're seeing results from last week.

Wed 4/1 Noon - Statewide Cases: 4639 Ga Hospitalized: 952 Ga Deaths: 139
Paulding: 32 Cases 0 Deaths
20326
tests given - 4638 Positive =22.8% Positive
 
What worries me is that we are probably seeing only 5% or less of the cases show up here. There are a lot of people running to Kroger who don't know they have it. I have also seen a dozen posts from people saying that "only a couple thousand people have it, the flu...". I honestly think that reporting such a drastically low number even with the moniker "confirmed" is doing a disservice given the ability of the common man to recognize and understand the importance of qualifiers like this. I'll bet that 100,000 or more have it in this state.
 
And what are your predictions for fatalities from it?
I think the fatalities count won't be much different from Del Rio's predictions. The number that will change in the models when we have universal testing is the mortality rate, which will be lower. I think there are a pot load of people out there who are the uncounted walking wounded.

Somebody called this Schrodinger's virus. We have to act like we have it to prevent spreading it, but we have to act like we haven't had it because if we did have it and got over it we would now be immune. Widespread testing will allow those who are now immune to go back to work and not spread the disease. Unfortunately right now we don't know who all of these people are.

ETA with the R0 of 2.5 that most models are using, they are assuming a huge number of carriers too. At that number, each infected person will ultimately over a month or so be responsible for about 15,000 infections.

Not sure if the Hospitalized number from the state is for currently hospitalized cases or total cases that were ever hospitalized. Assuming it's the former, then 4.25% of state hospital beds are being used for Covid-19 victims.

I think Kemp will be a one-term governor.

I don't know. The Democrats in the cities were not going to vote for him if he could wave his hand an cure everyone. Those in the remote counties that have seen minimum issues will be pleased that he didn't do this until it was obviously a problem. Depends a lot on how this comes out I guess.
