The cumulative number of cases doean’t tell us much but seems to be the favored stat of ISDH reporting . I note this article reports a lot of cumulative numbers too, “The state has reported 533 new cases over the past two days.” Are there any numbers on the daily increase or decrease in number of new cases v. the previous 14 days? That could more accurately suggest if we’ve peaked or are still ascending? Not perfect or conclusive given lack of testing but wouldn’t this be better than cumulative numbers – some of whom have recovered? Does this chart exist somewhere?
This tells you all you need to know:
But state officials again refused to say how many ventilators or intensive-care unit beds hospitals have, citing confidentiality agreements with hospitals and vendors. Box said hospitals will expand ICU areas or find ventilators on their own or with state assistance.

My problem is recovered? There is death or not. Recovered is kinda sometimes a recorded thing, like on the way out of the hospital, they call the state and tell them, another recovered? Your at home, feeling fine now, oh I should call the state, tell them I’m recovered.
Thank you Eric. This is helpful but narrative by the Governor. I trust him but numbers would be nice. I probably just need to look harder but it seems to me if officials keep saying, nearly every day, that cases are increasing daily, that a chart quantifying that oft-repeated statement would be easy and logical for ISDH or IBJ to produce
It bothers me when the government fails to provide the data to the citizenry. This snapshot of data–without providing the relative data–seems designed to frustrate our knowledge. It would be helpful to provide an updated daily chart, adding a new column or row each day. Provide what statistics we have: # of tests (daily/total), # of positive (daily/total), # of deaths (daily/total). Perhaps one our journalists at the IBJ could use google sheets, input the data, and provide a link to the readers? Here’s a start (using data from IBJ’s daily updates). Anyone can edit. Please run with it. I have to get back to work. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JZCtoPctZdU3eXu1OZZiFM-G0IjIbc3FKmhRQY4UyEk/edit?usp=sharing
Awesome Patrick O. You’re right, this is exactly what journalists and/or government should do. TY!
Here’s a map with a total number of tests, # of positive tests, number of deaths for Indiana:

It’s updated at 10am every day but the data is a snapshot at midnight.
A map doesn’t tell us if we are, in fact, “flattening the curve”. Only a graph will tell us that.
.
Surely the ISDH has a statistician on staff. And if they don’t, I’m sure Eli Lilly or another local pharma company does…
Also, here are two additional world maps which seem to be pretty interesting:
