3. Introduction
▪ Country/Regional Data and Plots
▪ USA State Data and Plots
▪ USA Models
▪ USA Red vs Blue
▪ Questions
▪ Interesting Metrics from Data

4. REGIONAL ANALYSIS
Breakdown of data by Political/Geographic Regions

5. Deaths by Country
>500 Deaths

6. Deaths by Country
Deaths per 100k of Population
EU in Yellow & US in Blue
As this trend on Y2 Axis goes to zero the
cumm curve above is flattening (no more
deaths)

7. Deaths by Region/Country
>500 Deaths

8. Death Trends by Region
Deaths per 100k of Population
Note how S. America and
Canada appear in the middle of
their trend and EU and US
trends are on the backend

9. UNITED STATES
Analysis the State of affairs in the States of the

10. Deaths by State
>100 Deaths

11. Death Trends by State
Deaths per 100k of Population

12. Stay @ Home Order Expirations by State
This table hard to keep
updated as many states are
in various degrees of
opening, some more
restrictive than others

13. Mortality Rate (MR) and the Flu
▪ Mortality Rate is defined as:
▪ Number of Deaths per 100,000 people
▪ A Mortality Rate of 10 in the US population of 330MM people corresponds to
33,000 deaths
▪ Note the historical plot of the MR of influenza from 1930 to 2004.
▪ Link to article in the references; it’s a good read
▪ I found this conclusion relevant:
▪ The considerable similarity in mortality seen in pandemic and non-pandemic influenza
seasons challenges common beliefs about the severity of pandemic influenza. The
historical decline in influenza-classed mortality rates suggests that public health and
ecological factors may play a role in influenza mortality risk. Nevertheless, the actual
number of influenza-attributable deaths remains in doubt.
▪ I utilized the estimated 2019 population of various regions (i.e. New
York, USA, Michigan, etc) and deaths attributed to COVID-19 in those
regions to compare the variance in mortality rates across various
regions of the country
▪ By using Mortality Rate, it normalizes the data to aid in better regional
comparisons
▪ Why normalize it?
▪ Different regions or states have different public policy, population density, etc that are
impacting their states’ mortality rates for COVID19
See References #4

14. How to read Statistical Model
▪ The top plot is cumulative COVID-related deaths
over time
▪ Attempts to estimate the total deaths from COVID19
▪ This model is better for showing the efficacy of the
best fit model
▪ It also shows how the impact of changes in behavior
can impact total deaths.
▪ Note, New York early on had an MR tracking close
to 100, which subsequently made a step-change to
~70
▪ The bottom plot is daily death rate over time
▪ This plot better shows the peak death rate as well as
when to expect improvement
▪ The models utilize mortality rate as the variable
▪ Curve fit model, estimating mortality rate based on fit
to actual data and start times for the region
▪ Mortality Rates of Low, middle and high are used to
bracket actual data to show changes in trends
Reference #3 is the white paper for the numerical model used to generate all the models

15. The Model
▪ The model is a simple statistical cumulative numerical method, from
which both cumm and daily plots are made
▪ I started with the theory that the virus, based on info at the time, was a
60 day cycle, we are now at 88 days
▪ I curve fit the model to the actual data by changing MR and Start Date
▪ I added the ability to change the period because the data was clearly pointing to a
longer cycle than 60 days.
▪ Started with 60, then 74 and now 88 days
▪ The curve fit is thrown off by the additions of past deaths as the CDC changes the
guidelines as what is a COVID19 death

16. USA Actual vs Models
Cumulative Plot
Note the impact NY has on the
Mortality Rate of the USA.

17. USA Actual vs Models
Daily Plot Remember the models are base on
population. MR of 40 for “USA” is
higher than for “USA without NY,”
that is why you see two model lines

18. New York Actual vs Models
Cumulative Plot

19. New York Actual vs Models
Daily Plot
Why is there a big spike?
As reported by many news agencies and the
President, the states are going back and
reporting to the CDC “probable” deaths of the
China Virus. The daily deaths after April 15th
includes both current deaths + probable
deaths.

20. New Jersey Actual vs Models
Cumulative Plot

21. New Jersey Actual vs Models

32. Red vs Blue Deaths (2016 Presidential Election)
Red is Republican and Blue is Democrat
Added Daily Change in MR on right y-axis to show how fast the curve is flattening (zero deaths)

33. Red vs Blue… Why
▪ The Trump Administration (and likely the Constitution) left many decisions to
the States, including decisions to shut down commerce
▪ States like CA shut their whole state down at once; other states, like Texas, left
it up to the cities and counties
▪ This brings up an interesting political dynamic that could impact different
regions at different rates
▪ There has been some interesting information coming out around
Hydroxychloroquine treatments, but some state bureaucracies have either
held up the use of the medicine or limited its use
▪ Mortality Rate is affected by several variables including public policy and
population density

34. Questions I am trying to answer
▪ Is this world coming to an end? (No)
▪ How does this compare to the flu?
▪ When will this end?
▪ What is the effect of different public policies?
▪ Can other states, regions, countries learn from the variability in public
policy in the US?
▪ How bad could it have been without stay-at-home policies?
▪ Is social distancing enough?
▪ Do we have to shut the economy down next time?

35. Interesting thoughts on the Data
▪ NY has a more than ten times higher mortality rate than the rest of the US
▪ With a Mortality rate of 100 in NY:
▪ What caused it to be so high?
▪ What causes the variability in the Mortality rate trends?
▪ Is public policy to blame for both failure and success?
▪ Trump Admin estimated 100k to 250k deaths in the US, this model is currently estimating 45k to 50k deaths in the
US
▪ Where did they get 100k to 250k? Overestimating early trends in NY and applying it to the entire US?
▪ Why are we seeing the trends change upwards after what appeared to be a peak?
▪ This appears to be a change in policy of submitting probable deaths to the CDC for past cases starting April 15th. I have updated all the models
capture the increase MR.
▪ Red States have ~23% of active COVID19 Cases, but ~16% of deaths
▪ Population Density has an impact here but possibly one or more of the following do too:
▪ Public Policy
▪ Population behavioral trends
▪ homeless population
▪ Avg age of population
▪ And many more that I probably don’t understand
