"US Health Weather Map
Blues on the map below show DECREASING fevers........for all illnesses.
In most years, this would track closely with the flu, which causes most of the fevers. In 2020, it shows a combination of fevers from the flu, coronvirus and other illnesses. They have all been plunging lower during the 2nd half of March...............even while new cases or coronavirus go up.
This is because fevers are a LEADING indicator. People have a fever for a couple of days BEFORE they get medical attention. After they sought medical attention(before tests were widely available recently), then they could be tested. The test results sometimes took over a week to come back. So their fevers were first reported on the maps below, in many cases over a week before they showed up as a new coronavirus case.
Note the graph below that shows fevers plunging lower immediately after the draconian/extreme shutdown measures took place ............dropping BELOW the expected, dashed blue line around 2 weeks ago.
This is powerful evidence that the spread of ALL illnesses has plunged.............before the new cases. New case statistics for COVID-19 are a lagging indicator of the reality. In fact, because of early testing flaws, until recently, the lag was possibly over 2 weeks. This is why we have needed to catch up on the testing before we could get a better handle on the reality. There is still a significant but closing lag but there will always be a lag of X number of days because of the time between when a COVID-19 case first reports a fever below and when the CDC records them as a new COVID-19 case."

If that is accurate we may be already on the backside of this thing. Holy smokes.
These lockdown/ social distancing measures seem to be working.
