NYC is ground zero

[Loki]

When they identify new cases when where those tests given?

[jon-nyc]

I don’t know. I suspect the turnaround time varies by state. And even within states.

Some states report positives, negatives, and total tested and you can see there’s a delay.

Some states don’t do that. At least from what I’ve seen.

[Loki]

I don’t know what the average lag is but I suspect it’s about 5 days. Clinicians are getting the quicker tests but many are going to the 18,000 or so labs around the country.

I think you need to think about that to understand why people believe NY is peaking now.

The feds cannot demand, but they could ask each state for standardization of input.

Genome study says most New York cases of COVID-19 came from Europe.

[Jolly]

And where did the European cases come from?

I used to collect and report this data - 40+ years ago

Where does the time go?

I assume systems have changed since then

Notifiable Disease Surveillance Starts at State and Local Levels

CDC receives case notifications from 57 reporting jurisdictions. Each state has laws requiring certain diseases be reported at the state level, but it is voluntary for states to provide information or notifications to CDC at the federal level. The notifiable diseases data voluntarily shared by these 57 jurisdictions represents only a portion of the public health surveillance data that jurisdictions collect and use to make decisions and conduct public health activities in their communities (e.g., outbreak detection and control). There are several important distinctions between a reportable disease and a notifiable disease.

It is mandatory that reportable disease cases be reported to state and territorial jurisdictions when identified by a health provider, hospital, or laboratory. This type of required reporting uses personal identifiers and enables the states to identify cases where immediate disease control and prevention is needed. Each state has its own laws and regulations defining what diseases are reportable. The list of reportable diseases varies among states and over time.
It is voluntary that notifiable disease cases be reported to CDC by state and territorial jurisdictions (without direct personal identifiers) for nationwide aggregation and monitoring of disease data. Regular, frequent, timely information on individual cases is considered necessary to monitor disease trends, identify populations or geographic areas at high risk, formulate and assess prevention and control strategies, and formulate public health policies. The list of notifiable diseases varies over time and by state. The list of national notifiable diseases is reviewed and modified annually by the CSTE and CDC. Every national notifiable disease is not necessarily reportable in each state. In addition, not every state reportable condition is national notifiable.

Louisiana has calmed way the hell down,

[Doctor Phibes]

It looks like we're (MA) spiking now.

[LuFins Dad]

Which seems odd.

[jon-nyc]

I've really only paid close attention to NY numbers.

But in my peripheral vision noting these other states, sometimes I see the numbers jump around in fits and starts. Could be uneven testing, could be the frequency with which JH updates their data. Or something else.

Seriously, what happened to slow down Florida and Louisiana?

Social distancing? I say "hah!" to your face...
