RELATED STORY FROM TUESDAY: 842 Confirmed Cases Of Coronavirus In Contra Costa County – 22 More Than Yesterday
RELATED INFO FROM TUESDAY (cases by city):
They need to include number of deaths due to underlying health conditions and deaths without underlying health conditions. Give us the full picture.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! They don’t want us to see the full picture…
I agree give us the whole picture! why are you not doing such?
Why do you think? It is called control…
How many recovered ?
If I have an underlying condition such as astma or diabetes but would not have died from that disease had I not contracted covid, shouldn’t covid be the cause? I mean those things can kill people but many live for years with these diseases and many are not even old.
Of course.
Of course, but the CDC recommends listing COVID as the cause of death even without a positive test result if it can be PRESUMED the individual was infected.
From the CDC:
“In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot
be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances
are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it
is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as
“probable” or “presumed.” In these instances, certifiers should
use their best clinical judgement in determining if a COVID–19
infection was likely. However, please note that testing for
COVID–19 should be conducted whenever possible.”
If you haven’t been tested or you have been tested and the result was other than positive, then no it should not be listed in the total count of fatalities. Those fatalities with presumed positives, should be kept separate from the covid-19 positive pool. Statisticians can not make accurate predictions and models with dirty data.
So there are now only 24 people in the hospital and dropping…That seems like a pretty big improvement over the past few weeks. I’d like to see what the demographics of that number show…
24 people in all of CCC. The hospitals must be really empty!
We’ve tested a little over 1% of the population? This is embarrassing, how are we supposed to get back to it when we have no idea how many people are actually sick and no vaccine. We’re either going to pretend it is over because some politician says so and then it’ll come back or stay inside and hold our collective breaths until the end of the year?
Mamba
There will be a second wave. No way around it.
I have not been tested, and none of my extended family has been tested. Why should we? Why should we tie up the system for our testing? We are not sick and what would the test show us? The antibody tests are not that reliable yet. Even if you have antibodies, does not mean you are immune, so why test?
Outside is beautiful! Today is a bit colder, but still shorts and t-shirt weather.
But..but…Trump said that tests are available to anyone who needs one? Right? What a joke this president is! I think whenever we find out the real numbers of infected it will be staggering and way higher than we estimate. Only testing 1% is not acceptable this far into the crisis…Stay home and stay safe people!
My body, my choice. Don’t like it? Stay away from me. Open the economy.
I’m still trying to find out if ‘cases’ means sick or just positive ? And if I test negative this week and get sick next week what was the point of the test ?
Question, has CoCo County given breakdown of deaths by age?
How many deaths occurred at (not hospital) care facilities?
Just heard on news in six states 50% of deaths took place at nursing homes, OR, UT CO, PA, DE AND MA.
Still strongly advocate, stricter precautions be ordered at high density assisted living facilities and nursing care facilities.
Its time to see more transparency about where the new cases ad are coming from and who is being tested: Are they health care workers and first responders? Family and others who had contact with recent positives or community spread?
