Calculated Values

• Calculated Acute Critical Care Utilization in %: On page load the default value for the percentage of confirmed cases that may need Acute Care (Hospitalization) is set to 15%. For a limited number of countries we know the available Acute Care Capacity and combine it with the total population and the current number of actual COVID-19 Cases (without recovered and deceased). The Utilization shows the load of Acute Care beds (COVID-19 Cases only; not taking into account the "usual" load/occupancy).
• Calculated Critical Care Utilization in %: On page load the default value for the percentage of confirmed cases that may need Critical Care (ICU/Ventilator) is set to 5%. For a limited number of countries we know the available Critical Care Capacity and combine it with the total population and the current number of actual COVID-19 Cases (without recovered and deceased). The Utilization shows the load of Critical Care beds with COVID-19 cases. Different sources indicate that in "usual" times (without COVID-19) around 80% of the critical care beds are already (permanently) occupied. Which means a COVID-19 Critical Care bed Utilization of more than 20% might indicate that the national Critical Care Capacity limit has been reached.

Disclaimer

NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY: We cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given data map, chart or table may recently have been changed or altered as our primary or secondary data sources may change. Also there is only a very limited amount of scientific data and (long-term) studies available. Some data might be inconsistent or contradictory or results for one country don't apply for another country.

CAUTION: All calculated values are THEORETICAL values and may not reflect the real/actual values!

A big question mark is also behind the number of Confirmed Cases and the estimated number of undetected Cases. While most scientists agree that there is a significant amount of undetected Cases, the numbers differ quite a lot between studies and countries depending on the test intensity and test regulations. This has a big influence on a lot of dereived and calculated values (e.g. Hospitalization, Mortality rate etc.)
