Outlier Stories Find Many Curves in Coronavirus Data
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 yesterday:
Plateauing Not Declining

Providence County in Rhode Island also reported over 1,500 confirmed cases yesterday. This resulted in them becoming the highest-ranked county in the states for confirmed cases yesterday. The curve seems to be plateauing and not declining.
Increasing in the Middle East

Jordan is seeing a consistent increase in cases just as the lockdown was lifted.
Decreasing Cases

Massachusetts is seeing a decrease in the number of new cases and is 37% below the expected range. Although, multiple children have been reported as sickened by a Coronavirus-related illness.

Middlesex, Essex and Worcester are the top three counties that are contributing to the increase.

Colorado is also seeing a drop in the number of new cases. Overnight they saw a 22% decrease under the expected range and account for only 1% of the new cases reported in the US yesterday.

Outlier’s Root Cause Analysis shows that Denver, Arapahoe and Weld are the counties contributing the most as some retail businesses slowly open under Colorado’s guidelines.
