Headed into the weekend....
New and improved daily numbers for Poland (early cause maybe busy later....)
Fatalities (daily total) 10, age range 48-94, average age 73
Number of active cases (new metric running total) - 195 = 12,030 (I mis-wrote the number yesterday, it should have been 12,225)
Hospitalizations (running total) + 33 = 1957 (still under 2000....)
Ventilators in use, - 2 = 82
Number tested (daily total) = 18,600
Cured (daily total) 779 which is 131 % the number of discovered cases..
Ratio of cured to fatalities (daily) there were 77 times more cured cases than fatalities.
10thday in a row with more cured than new cases....
My new cut-thru-the-hype number is number of active cases (people with actual symptoms and not just a positive test)
So despite the 80,000 or so in quarantine and the hundreds of new cases reported every day, in a country of 38 million people at this moment only a bit over 12,000 are actually sick and less than one sixth of that are hospitalized.... I don't think that this has ever qualified as a real epidemic in Poland.
And.... real shock number of the day

That's right, on average more people commit suicide per day in Poland than have died from covid....
