I see the number for Moraga went down today from 8 to 7. I’m sure it’s a typo.
The number of corona virus patients in hospitals in Contra Costa County peaked at 44 on April 13-14. As of Friday, the number was down to 31. That trend over a ten day period seems pretty encouraging.
This just in……
.00000276% of California has died of COVID
The survival rate is 96%
Of the 4% that have died, 95% of those people had underlying conditions
Therefore, a healthy person is very, very, very unlikely to die from it.
Quarantined healthy people compromise their immune system
Virology 101- Quarantine the sick, not the healthy
It’s all explained by these two VERY sharp doctors here:

It’s time to prevent the cure from becoming worse than the disease and time is running out.
AGREE!!!
Hope this becomes obvious to people, but this is CA.
California is doing great.
But the US has 40% of the worldwide cases and more deaths than any other country. If the country as a whole had done what California has done we’d all be back to work. Where was the national leadership?
You do realize that the “cure” is staying home and staying healthy, the “disease” could end in Death.
I’ll take the cure for my family and myself
Ozzie, I wonder if the reason that the US has more cases is because we are more populous than almost any other country! And, of course, we can for sure trust the numbers coming in from the Chinese. They certainly would never deceive us…. eye roll.
And our healthcare system has not become overwhelmed with the seriously ill and dying.
Living in Claycord,
How dare you question…..now you to put on your flamesuit.
Video shows what Nurses are doing:

The only reason the US has more cases is that the US has tested more than any other country. The survival rate remains the same, very high.
Agree! I want to go to Church! I will go at my own risk !
@Oh, please:
Like virtually all leftists, Ozzie prefers to toggle back and forth between raw numbers and per capita rates, depending on which number best supports his or her preferred narrative.
Judging from Ozzie’s posts here and previously, I’m pretty sure he is an unknowledgeable hack living in his parents basement. Learn some basic science dude.
if you take the population of ca to be 40 million then .00000276% of the California population is 1 person.
@Math Matters- Thank you for checking my math. I double checked and I added one extra 0, so I stand corrected. The corrected answer is .0000276%.
Over 1,000 people have now died.
By the way, your math was off by over 1,000. Just sayin
@ Bud E – Since the death rate is on par with the flu, I assume you don’t work and have put yourself on house arrest all your life. And will continue until the death rate is perhaps .0000000% ?
I’m fine with that. Just don’t expect me or the rest of our country to live like that.
I choose freedom over tyranny. Good luck.
@Ozzie – You’re not being honest with your characterization.
People are protesting in California because we are on a Gavin Newsome lockdown which is unsupportable by science. That’s tyranny, not leadership.
@Patriot, I think you’ve missed a key differentiator here. The death rate is on par with flu, but only because we are doing shelter-in-place. I’m certain the COVID-19 death rate would be much higher if we aren’t sheltering at homes.
1% of 40 million is 400,000
.1% of 40 Million is 40,000
,01% of 40 million is 4000
,001% of 40 milli8on is 400
.0001% of 40 million is 40
.0000276%. is about 10.
YOUR math was off by over 1,000.
Patriot – I agree with your original statement that we don’t want “the cure becoming worse than the disease”. However, MathMatters is correct that your claim of “.00000276% of California has died of COVID” is wrong. By a factor of 1,000.
A lot of people have problems when dealing with amounts LESS THAN 1%. First off, you should precede the decimal with a zero; admittedly not that big a deal but it does warn people that the amount is less than 1%.
Secondly, and this is the important part, when you add the % sign after the number you’re adding two zeros after the decimal point. In other words, .00000276 is 100 times larger than .00000276%.
The combination of your admission that you were off by a factor of 10, plus your adding the % sign to the .00000276, means you were off by 1,000.
FWIW, as of today’s worldometers.info stats, there have been 1,695 COVID-19 related deaths in California. Divided by the approximately 40 million California population gives us .00004238. This can also be written as .004238% (two zeros, not four, after the decimal point). But you would be off by a factor of 100 if you were to add the percent sign and write it as .00004238%.
Another way to express the above info is 42.375 COVID-19 deaths per million population.
The use of the % sign, for amounts LESS THAN 1%, is one of my pet peeves. Since the COVID-19 death rate is less than 1%, this means every day I am annoyed by a large percentage of people’s comments on the death rate.
It appears that quarantine stuff is working real well. He say with sarcasm.
Spot on Patriot…Claycordians, however, are easily duped by government bureaucrats and career whore politicians. Our local economy has been devastated by irresponsible citizens who blindly listen to their masters. Death is unavoidable….here is some perspective from CDC that everyone should consider:
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/states/california/california.htm
Pretty hard to fight a pandemic with a crashed economy.
We weren’t ever even close to being over burdened, even NYC at its peak. Apparently, when covid19 showed up people graciously stopped dying for other reasons to accommodate covid19 patients. We can accommodate more people getting sick. The point was to flatten the curve not find a cure for dying…if that’s what you are waiting for, a guarantee that you won’t get sick from this and die from complications, then you’re in for a long haul…you only get that guarantee if it burns itself out (which could happen ).
Correct. If an individual desires to live out their life guaranteed to never be infected with this virus, they’ll need to dig a bunker and live like a rodent.
Your spot on Anonamel. Problem is, our state and local politicians and bureaucrats are waaaaay over invested in there one size fits all reaction of “100% shelter in place.” All based on grossly inaccurate models and with no regard to cause and affect of their decisions. To all you little men and hysterical women, if California opens up for business before you think it should then stay the F¥*+ home while the rest of us REAL Americans get back to work. REAL Americans don’t fear the current survival rate of 99.7%…you idiots.
Wondering if city/state officials like the governor see links like the one posted by Patriot…and what their response to that would be. Also would be interesting to know if majority of medical professionals/medical researchers agree. The doctors seemed to have a good amount of data to support what they were saying.
805 confirmed cases with 25 deaths = 3.1% Kill Rate
Hey Mr. Kauai…Please tell me you’re not really that stupid? Another example that a literacy test should be required before voting. For the record Claycord, the population of CoCo County is 1,154,000. Now, you idiots, do the math with 25 deaths so far in Contra Costa County then ask yourself if it’s worth destroying our entire local economy? If we ever get out of this thing, we need a movement to require a literacy test before voting and apply term-limits to every office in the land from city Council to the US Senate.
Safety
.
If all those 1,154,000 had COVID 19 and there was 25 deaths you’d be right. But they don’t and the is reason they don’t is we SIP.
But of those infected that we know of 3% died. Based on the numbers here.
So what we’re doing is keeping the infected at a minimum and the deaths at a minimum.
So is it worth it? Yea if 1,154,00 contracted Covid19 and deaths were 34,000.
OMG Ozzie, you are kidding, right?
Ozzie likes to imagine that we know the true infection rate across the population. We don’t. The more of those 1,154,000 are/were infected, the mortality rate drops, but that’s no fun for people like Ozzie.
The doctors from Accelerated Urgent Care flat out said that the local head of the Kern County Public Health Department agreed with their sentiments that Kern County should immediately be reopened. When reporters asked Kern County Public Health Department, their spokesperson said “Our director has not concurred with the statements that were made yesterday about the need to reopen”.
The 2 doctors were caught in a lie, and admitted “we didn’t have any agreement “.
The 2 doctors from Accelerated said we’ve never seen a quarantine that quarantined the healthy. Either he hasn’t heard of the 1918 flu, or they were lying.
The 2 doctors said that we shouldn’t quarantine people without the disease. The thing is, we don’t know who has the disease and who doesn’t until enough testing kits are produced.
The 2 doctors said that people were locked in the homes. Nobody is locked in their homes. Anyone is free to go outside.
The 2 doctors kept comparing Covid-19 to the flu,but the flu doesn’t cause severe damage to lung tissue, or severe blood clotting.
The 2 doctors said that we’ve studied Corona viruses before, and this new one isn’t different. However, it is exceptionally rare for a Corona virus to cross over from animals to humans. Scientists are still trying to figure out how Covid-19 fundamentally works, and how to treat it.
The 2 doctors said Covid has DNA. No it doesn’t. It has RNA.
The doctors said the death rate of Covid is the same as the swine flu. That’s false. The mortality rate for Covid is 10 times greater than the swine flu.
The 2 doctors said a shutdown doesn’t make sense because the virus can still spread by people shopping for food. The point of the shutdown is to limit exposure. It would be impossible to have a total 100% quarantine. Limiting exposure and slowing the spread of the virus is still better than no shutdown at all.
They want Kern county back open because it’s more rural. Well how do they plan to keep people from urban areas out of their county? A county can’t seal itself off. For people to get back to work, counties need follow the same rules for now, while the state develops guidelines for best practices that allow businesses to reopen.
.0000276%
Put yourself in a bubble at your own peril. Your immune system needs to be in contact with the environment unless you are at risk because you have other health issues.
The numbers don’t lie.
If we don’t have an economy, we will starve to death. No thank you.
“The mortality rate for Covid is 10 times greater than the swine flu.“
How do you reach that conclusion without knowing the true infection rate across the entire population? You don’t know any more than the doctors you’re vilifying.
The 10X statistic is the generally accepted number at this time. It could change, as more testing is done and there’s a larger population sample.
I could ask you the same question in reverse; how do you know these 2 doctors are right without knowing the true infection rate?
This whole lockdown is a gross overreaction to this man made Corona crisis. It’s really a sinister plan to destroy economies and reduce the global population, especially the older who supposedly overload the social security system. They can prolong this indefinitely and always play the coin that ‘it’s coming back’. Thankfully, all the homeless have been posted up in free hotel rooms paid for by us while small businesses have a hotline to call and talk about their feelings
Bottom line: We all should have been wearing some sort of mask at the start of this thing. Any non-essential business that could adhere to the distancing and cleaning, and mandate mask use in their business, should have been allowed to remain open. There should be procedures in place at the local, state and federal levels for dealing with this. Action should start at the local level, and work its way up to the state and federal, eg. Alaska doesn’t need to stop functioning because of an outbreak in New York.
Finally, every single one of us should have been, and should be, planning for this and other emergencies. You should have water, food, medicines and supplies (TP, masks, etc). And yes, I know not everyone has common sense, follows rules and can plan ahead. If you take care of yourself first, then you can help others and if you rely soley upon the government, then you roll the dice.
Remember this, the govt. workers are, for the most part, still being paid, because the govt. politicians negotiated it in exchange for their votes. These same politcians are the ones mandating who is/is not essential, and who is allowed to stay open. They allow a city worker to still mow lawns, but the private sector gardener who pays the city worker’s salary, benifits and pension is not allowed to work. And that worker will have to make up for the loss of revenue when he/she finally goes back to work and the govt increases taxes and float bonds to pay for the lost income when they madated that he/she is non-essential and can’t make a living.
Everybody is at risk to this awful Covid-19, not just the seniors with cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and so on. Because people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, with hardly any symptoms, are suffering from debilitating strokes.
CV-19 will kill or maim whoever it touches.
And unfortunately it’ll touch every one of us sooner or later.
