Coronavirus Update -- February 27, 2020

This was not a good day for those anxious about coronavirus. The four most important indicators did not improve, but again, the number of deaths are so small, it doesn't take many to skew the results.

• growth factor turned up (bad, really bad news)
• total deaths, change in total, still really, really low but went from 1% to 2% change, day-over-day (bad news)
• change in number of daily deaths, day-over-day, went from 37 to 58 which is not particularly bad, considering that almost all of them were in China, this still represented a 57% increase -- really, really bad
• the good news (few new deaths in countries outside of China) but that was offset by news of huge numbers of people now "of interest," as they say, in places like California and New York state
