By 6/11/21, Florida is first state to enter EXPONENTIAL growth phase in COVID cases in US. By 7/30/21, cases are growing exponentially in 35 states. Shewhart Charts are the best early detection system we have. https://t.co/70AuCD0E3N

Are Shewhart charts rapidly detecting where COVID-19 variants are taking hold? Our model is detecting exponential growth in COVID-19 cases in only 3 European countries presently

This is the same data model used to show opioid deaths were headed in the wrong direction in early 2019, when policymakers were touting progress amid the crisis. unfortunately it was spot-on then. worth paying attention to now with COVID-19. @rocco_perla

When have we “flattened the curve” for COVID-19? Using control charts, our U.S. News analysis of 8 countries (incl. US) reveals early signals of when new deaths peak & curve begins to flatten & insight into whether measures to slow pandemic are working
Tracking daily death tolls in hard-hit countries including the U.S. offers valuable insights into the trajectory of the pandemic in America: https://t.co/b7i88fF5YY
