Here is an update for this afternoon on how humanity is dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemic that is caused by SARS CoV-2. The story is told through links to news outlets, research papers, and videos. They are presented without comment.
Data from Macon County Public Health as of July 20th and graph by Macon Media of data from May 30th to July 20th [LINK]
Please note there is a gap for Saturdays and Sundays starting this past weekend since the health department will no longer be reporting numbers on those days.
484 Detected Cases (+3 in one day)
59 Active Positive (+2 in one day)
421 Recovered (+1 in one day)
4 Deaths (unchanged)
Testing Data for Macon County
4383 MCPH Tests (+39 in one day)
1633 Tests by Others (+85 in one day)
6016 Total Tests (+124 in one day)
252 Tests Pending Results (+3 in one day)
Here are some numbers from the CDC, the NCDHHS, and the Johns Hopkins Dashboard. Macon Media prefers the Johns Hopkins Dashboard because the counts include those non-residents that are left out of the CDC and NCDHHS numbers.
The CDC website [LINK] reports 97,958 people in North Carolina are infected, 1,629 have died, and infections are widespread, the NCDHHS website [LINK] reports 99,778 confirmed cases from 1,394,864 targeted tests, and 1,115 hospitalized and 1,634 deaths in the state. The Johns Hopkins Dashboard [LINK] reports 99,803 people infected and 1,652 deaths.
