The document analyzes Covid-19 case data from Karnataka, India. It finds that as of April 2nd, there were fewer than 3 deaths from 124 total cases in Karnataka. It also finds that deaths occurred very soon after hospital admission, and that the three patients who died did not spend much time in the hospital. Additionally, it shows that major cities like Bengaluru have had no deaths despite many cases, and suggests getting to the hospital sooner rather than later may improve survival rates.

There are certain plots which i cannot depict in my
notebook [https://www.kaggle.com/vardhannaik/coronaviruscaseskarnataka/]
which I thought it would be good to blog here.
1) Death rates are almost instant on admit. In
Karnataka, we have fewer than 3 deaths of 124 people
so far in records as of April 2. But most of them did not
stay long in hospital. I infer either we stay in Metro like
Bengaluru or Mysuru or we stay in hospitals longer
meaning we get to the hospitals earlier to survive in non
metro.
In the below plot, the cases of death , at least two of
them traveled back to Karnataka a good 13-15 days
earlier. The other was a local transmission with contact
so origin with a median of 7 days.

In the above plot, Metro cities , though high cases have
no deaths. In the below plot, all the three patients who
died did not spend enough time in Hospitals.

This is in sharp contrast to people who were discharged
( median of 10-18 days for discharge) or those
recovering ( maximum days recovering patient is 16
days as of April2 ) still

Key Takeaways for Deaths

hotbeds
b) Not all patients are very critical. So getting to
hospital would make the correct thinking than get to
hospital after
