Weekly Update June 24th@RaoulGMI #COVID19
Globally, Covid-19 daily cases are averaging more than 150,000 per day...
... whilst global deaths are averaging almost 5,000 per day...
We are already halfway to the 10 million cases milestone and will likely hit that point within the next three to four days...
So far 4.5 million people have recovered from Covid-19...
... which leaves us with 4.1 million active cases...
Global cases are following Potential Path number 1, which is based on June’s daily growth average...
Ditto for global deaths...
In Asia, China is reporting fewer cases each day...
... whilst Hong Kong is seeing a sudden spike due to imported cases, which they do not really care about overtly as these cases are quarantined at the airport...

In the US, the situation is about to get out of control...
Growth out of New York and New Jersey is at an all-time high and trending...
Back in March, the US Government had only one fire to fight in New York; this time it looks like they will have four...
It is very difficult to find consistent reliable data for the rate of hospitalisation. The following site is making a good effort in its attempt to keep everything updated in the same place: https://carlsonschool.umn.edu/mili-misrc-covid19-tracking-project
As a reference, we can see that back in April at peak New Jersey (right-hand side of below graphic), Covid-19 was occupying all ICU beds...

It is also following the trajectory of total deaths...
The lag between confirmed case and death is around eight days; by July 4th the US could average more than 1,000 per day...
It is true that the US is doing more tests now than it was back in April...
