I can confirm this from a guy in my hockey league who just went through the ceremony two Fridays ago. I told him if they made you wear a mask during you pledge ceremony, how do they know you aren't a spy here for Canada.

Pretty good site for visualizing rate

Rt COVID-19

So if I am understanding this

California Rt

Infectivity is down, but cases are up.
More people are spread it ,but they are spreading it to less people?

Big day today

The county hasn't officially reported the numbers yet, but ABC 7 is saying 3 total deaths, no breakdown
but a record 779 new cases today

looks like the prior high was around 580

I would expect some action from Newsom pretty soon

Seems like cases are going way up, and rate of death going down as we learn to protect the vulnerable and others go on about their lives.

We should not expect the number of cases to go down any time soon.

 

[BigKing]

Doesn't the Tuesday results include lag from over the weekend or has that been only on the death counts?

One would think so, but no one really knows..lol
It when they get the tests back and someone compiles the info for the state, etc
It's really when they choose to report

 

[Lt Dan]

ok the numbers are out

10 deaths today, not 3
4 of those 10 deaths were SNF , so 6 deaths today

ICU goes up to 176 from 175

Rolling average of non snf deaths

Tues:6
Monday :3
Sun:3

Wed:0

a 6 replaced a 1, so death average jumps to 2.57

779 news cases out of 9918 tests= 7.85% positive

Not good my friends

We expected the number of cases to go up, but it still has to be managed. 3 of the last 8 days we've broken our own record # of new cases. That becomes exponential. Regardless of how much better we've gotten at treating it, that's really bad.

So my friend that worked at a hospital locally just went to Houston on a fellowship. His hospital has three total hospitals in the network. I asked him last night if the ICUs were at capacity as the news was saying for a lot of hospitals there and here in California. He said that the CEO of their hospital system says, "while they are concerned with the extend of the rise in infections they are no where close to capacity in the hospital generally or the ICUs specifically." So my question is this journalism using an accounting trick, do hospitals have a set number of ICU Covid beds say 10 out of 50 beds for covid and 9 out of the 10 are filled. Thus filled at a 90% rate.

OC just closed bars again until after July 4

Orange County Orders Bars, Pubs With Dine-In Service Closed Ahead Of Fourth Of July

Under the orders issued Wednesday by Orange County, alcohol can only be sold in the same transaction as a meal for bars, pubs, breweries, and brewpubs that offer sit-down, dine-in meals.
Bars, pubs, breweries, and brewpubs that do not offer sit-down, dine-in meals themselves, but contract with another vendor to provide that service, may serve dine-in meals in their establishment if the dine-in vendor follows the dine-in restaurant guidance and bar, pub, brewery, and brewpub establishment sells alcohol only in the same transaction as a meal.
Venues that are currently authorized to provide sale of beer, wine, and spirits to be consumed off premises and do not offer sit-down, dine-in meals will follow retailers and offer curbside sales only until further notice.

It's just shallow journalism in a lot of cases, unfortunately.

Example--yesterday there was an article about riverside county being at 99% ICU bed capacity. Yet, only 35% of it was COVID (IIRC, dont' quote me on that), and that doesn't include their surge capacity whence they can change rooms/beds to ICU AND doesn't include outside hospitals (like SBC's Orange Show Fairgrounds, still prepared for it). That also of course leaves out the questions of how sustainable can it be when medical personnel are working OT, etc, getting sick themselves. it doesn't mean we're not in trouble, but it also doesn't mean we're in deep trouble. It's just leaving the reader to float in the wind and ask questions like we are. So there's a lot to chew into but it's much easier to drop sensationalist headlines and shallow three paragraph articles for the lowest common denominator.

California officials halt indoor dining as coronavirus surges

t
10 deaths today, not 34 of those 10 deaths were SNF , so 6 deaths today
ICU goes up to 176 from 175
death average jumps to 2.57
779 news cases out of 9918 tests= 7.85% positive

570 new cases today down from 779 yesterday. Today positive tests are 7.35%
ICU patients up to 192, that is a new high, NOT good news
5 deaths today, 2 were SNF, so 3

rolling total of non-SNF

Wed: 3
Tues:6
Monday :3
Sun:3

today's 3 replaced a 0, so 7 day average is 3, which is also an all time high.

That's unfortunate.

Hmmm not sure what that’s from? Looks kinda like a Star Wars movie, only shitty.

Worse than shallow journalism, it's clickbait journalism. Sensationalist headlines are read, while articles are not.
