More Testing = More Confirmed Coronavirus Cases

Among our values at Outlier, most important are the people we have in our lives, as we are parents and contributing members of the public like you. In addition to taking actions in our local community during the Coronavirus pandemic, we realize that the Outlier platform can bring you daily insights to understand the impact of the epidemic.

In today’s stories, analyzed with automated business analysis, we are reporting more findings based upon data shared by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU).

Here’s what we found out about yesterday:

Inmates Being Tested

The county of Leavenworth in Kansas is testing inmates. The county saw a 798% increase based on the new testing.

Nebraska is up for cases by 22% over expected and accounts for 1% of all the confirmed cases in the United States yesterday. County Health Department spokesman Phil Rooney said that the total is likely rising because “more people are being tested, and more of those tests are coming back positive.”

North Carolina is up for cases by 12% over expected and accounts for 2% of all the confirmed cases in the United States yesterday.

Outlier’s Root Cause Analysis indicates several counties that are contributing to this increase for North Carolina.

Countries Vying to Adapt to ‘New Normal’ and Go Back to Work

Chile sees a large increase day over day and is now 71% over expected and accounts for 1% of cases as the country is rolling out a program to provide certificates to those who have recovered from the Coronavirus.

Great News Abroad and Domestically 

Spain sees a large decrease day over day and is now 59% below expected and is the lowest it’s been since early March. The country plans to lift shelter in place guidelines by the end of June.

Ireland now sees a large decrease day over day and is 29% below expected.

Florida is down for cases by 11% under expected and accounts for 2% of all the confirmed cases in the United States yesterday.

The Root Cause Analysis from Outlier shows that half of the cases are out of Miami-Dade, Florida. Four out of five of these counties are in South Florida.
