Timeline of global COVID-19 cases from 22.01.2020 - 04.04.2020.

We have passed the milestone of 1.1 million total cases (nearly 1.2 million), and we have also passed the milestone of 60,000 deaths - now at 64,384 globally.

Cases continue to rise at a significant rate due to new French numbers + US passing 300,000 total cases.

COVID-19 fatality rates for countries with the high numbers of infections/high rate of deaths from the countries we have been looking at.

Note for France (red curve) the significant peak in case fatality rates prior to the release of April 4's number of new cases (+25,615), which stabilised the curve and put it back on the average rate of increase.

Trump predicts ‘a lot of death’ as cases pass 300,000

Mr Trump's calls to relax restrictions on life came on the day confirmed coronavirus infections in the US surpassed 300,000, the highest number in the world.

As of Saturday, there were almost 8,500 deaths from Covid-19 in the US, with most in New York state - the epicentre of the outbreak.

On Saturday, New York state recorded 630 more coronavirus deaths, another daily record that takes its toll to 3,565. The state now has almost as many cases - over 113,000 - as the whole of Italy.

More than 20 million people applied for unemployment benefits n the last two weeks of March after being thrown out of work by the business shutdowns due the coronavirus pandemic. And the numbers are expecting to keep surging, with some economists predicting the loss of 20 million jobs — or more.

The unemployment rate in March rose to 4.4% from a 50-year low of 3.5% in February, but about 1.4 million people told the Labor Department they were employed but not at work “for other reasons.” Adjusted for inaccuracies in how some households responded to the government’s monthly survey the jobless rate climbed to about 5.4%.
Yet if all the recent job losses were factored in, the unemployment rate was probably twice as high.

“If we assume that every person who was laid off or furloughed over those two weeks immediately applied for unemployment insurance, then the unemployment rate at the beginning of this week was around 10.5%,” said economist Michael Farren, a research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.

A rate that high would already exceed the 10% peak during the worst of the 2007-2009 Great Recession. And it wouldn’t be long before it topped the previous post-World War Two high of 10.8% in 1982. Accurate records only go back to 1948.

How high can it go?

If 20 million to 25 million people lost their jobs in the next two months, the unemployment rate could climb to around 16%, some economists estimate, but others think that figure would be too low.
