Covid 19 situation now?

[McNally del Campo]

Jesm or others, Where is the covid data coming from?

We know someone that died in Mexico (not near GTO) and others hospitalized. Those people got tests to confirm infection. Otherwise, people showing symptoms, but not requiring hospitalization, were simply told to stay home and quarantine. My wife's sister was feeling sick and could not get a test at the hospital, though she could have opted to pay privately.

Trying to find data, this is what I've found so far----https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/mexico?country=~MEX I don't know if this is the best information available, as it might not be collecting from all available sources, but does agree with anecdotal cases we've heard of.

It shows about 1 million total confirmed cases, about 5,000 per day in recent weeks, fatality rate of 10%, and a test positivity rate of about 55%. The positivity rate alarming (highest in the world) and generally demonstrates that tests aren't conducted unless the person is already sick, hence the low overall numbers of confirmed cases and the high fatality rate. Looking at these numbers another way, less than 10,000 tests (5,000 divided by 55%) are being done per day vs over a million tests per day in the US.
