General COVID-19 Talk #2, NHL Phase 2 begins early June Mod Warning post 1

[KINGS17]

When this whole thing started the stated goal was to not overwhelm hospitals. I still don't see hospitals being overwhelmed.

Many health officials said without a vaccine, everyone will eventually contract COVID-19. I don't necessarily agree with this point of view, because if you are a person at-risk you should take steps to avoid it.

Come Fall it is time to send the kids back to school. Teachers who are at-risk should stay home. We can't continue to destroy our economy and our future with the current COVID-19 response plan.

Not SoCal, but Covid parties are being thrown in Alabama where the first people who get sick win money.

Alabama coronavirus parties offer payouts for those who get infected, official says - CNN

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

Agreed here, but depends on where you are. Arizona and Texas are as close to overwhelmed as it gets and trajectory is up.

Here, the trajectory is up, and it's important to stay in front of it. We knew there may be several steps back in this process. Especially since idiots think a piece of cloth is an obstacle to freedom.

Not a paradoxical statement, unfortunately (thanks to the first two prequels).

Back on topic, here's a good Q&A on what we (think we) know about the virus:. How does coronavirus spread? When will a vaccine be available? Your COVID-19 questions, answered

This is not in any way shape or form directed at you , but more and more it is hard to really know what is really true.
We have some articles saying Texas is overwhelmed, that Houston is and then a hospital CEO saying that they aren't even close.

I can't also say if this source is even accurate . I had no idea that Houston and San Antonion were bigger than Dallas
Source (I lifted this from the covid board here)
America’s COVID warning system

Texas overall

Houston (Harris county)

Dallas

San Antonio

So of the "Big 3" it looks like Houston is in definite trouble, but it is the only one

 

[Lt Dan]

Arizona overall (holy shit)

Phoenix (maricopa County)

Pima County (Tucson)

I am confused though.

Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler,Gilbert, Glendale Scottsdale, Tempe,and Surprise are all Maricopa
Peoria is somehow in 2 counties..lol Half Maricopa and Half Yavapai

I am not following how they are at 100% when their biggest population centers aren't?

 

[Lt Dan]

Prescott is also Yavapai

I also randomly chose Flagstaff

I don't get it.....
How are they at 100%?

 

[Lt Dan]

California

LA County

Orange County

Riverside

San Berdoo

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Well, the problem is those are current numbers, too. You have to consider the case trajectory. IE if a county is already at 90% ICU usage and their numbers are only trending up severely in the last week...

I agree that--as always, unfortunately--the info we're given is problematic.

I have to admit, this is the first I had heard of Riverside County having a surge

OC's infection rate is SCARY though

The European schools that reopened experienced no spikes in cases. Apparently, child to adult transmissions are very rare.

The OC website made my job a little easier

652 new cases, up from 570 yesterday, and 779 on Tuesday
ICU Cases go up 192 from 192 yesterday and 176 on Tuesday

rolling total of non-SNF

Thu: 4
Wed: 3
Tues:6
Monday :3
Sun:3
Sat: 0

a 4 replaced a 2, so the average goes up again to 3.28
OUCH

At my friend's hospital, COVID admissions and ICU admissions up 20% from just this Monday.

which hospital?

Reportedly Anaheim and Santa Ana are leading the surge, but the problem is that determination is made based upon where the patient lives, not where they contracted it


I am running today's numbers vs Mondays to see where we are at. Note these are county-wide and could vary greatly from your friend's hospital

Monday
Cases Hospitalized including ICU= 485
ICU Cases 175
Thursday
Cases Hospitalized including ICU= 556
ICU Cases 193

Rise since Monday
Hospitalizations:485/556= .8723 so 12.77%
ICU: 175/193= .9067 so 9.33%

 

[HeadInjury]

I shouldn't name the particular one, but it's in Anaheim

My wife had two Covid positive mothers in post-partum yesterday at the same time. First time this has happened throughout all of this. She says it takes like five nurses to take care of them.

Uh-oh, a large hydroxychloriquine study finds it "significantly" lowered the death rate in patients.

Begs the question of why this works so well in some studies and not well at all in others. Need to account for whatever is happening differently.

Very rare? I'm pretty sure this is not accurate

Why “uh-oh”? I’m pretty sure the world would be thrilled if hydro turned out to be an effective treatment. It’s amazing that after 6 months we still can’t get a definitive study on this bullshit. They must be putting Dr. Lexus in charge.
