2nd wave is coming…. 68 new cases a day?.. Lock it down people. Even if they are open, the businesses are slow..
Holy … cases keep going up and up and up. But let’s open up everything
so how do we know these numbers are real ????
where are they coming from really
…hospitals
…CCChealth…lol
patients
doctors
hired head counters
what ……………or ……..who……..or how ……..are these verified
More testing=more cases
Data is compiled from CalREDIE and hospitalization data is collected via electronic survey.
I don’t believe any of these corrupt statistics. And where’s the big surge after the looters and protesters took to the streets 15 days ago? Takes 2-6 days for illness to occur. Oh, wait, I’m sure we’ll hear of a newfound fact by WHO, CDC, NIH, Health Officials to cover that.
The protests started a little over a week ago, not 2 weeks. This is most likely an uptick from the “NO Mask” protests and the memorial day weekend. Expect more cases coming through later this week and into next. Also Random, there has been a uptick in 22 states. Are you suggesting this is some grand conspiracy going through not only the US, but the entire world?
I think this uptick is the result of the mandatory testing for residents in long term health care facilities and the personnel that work there. Also, I learned from watching 6/4 CoCoCo board of supervisor ad-hoc meeting that the tested total number includes more than one test on a single person…which begs the question: Are the positives treated the same (more than one positive result for one person)…
I would like an actual recount of actual COVID deaths vs. COVID deaths with underlying conditions. Recount! and tell the truth. I am so over all of this!
It is skyrocketing … OMG … the sky is falling.
Sucks to catch it, but 371 active cases translates to 0.0035% of our population infected. Keep opening the business’. Our community needs the money, our schools need to open. If you do not want to take a chance and can afford to stay home do so. I for one, will happily go out into the community today without a mask, O wait, I already have.
I agree with you on the business needing the opportunities to be in business and the low percentage of active cases, but how do we manage the exposure so the County doesn’t become overwhelmed?
I don’t care what the % of the population is, if I’m infected, I could die, based on my immune suppression therapy. My asthmatic spouse could die. My 98 year old neighbor could die. This isn’t a voluntary situation for some of us. I don’t care if my hair grows or if I have to pay a couple extra dollars for grocery delivery. I’m staying home until daily cases are zero or nearly so. Whatever’s happening now was also happening in 1918. San Francisco had one of the lowest infection rates of any big city until people got sick of wearing masks etc. and they stopped wearing them, leading to a huge increase in illness & death. Common sense, people.
@not mathematician,
You are totally within your rights to stay home, order food, and let your hair grow shaggy. Same with your wife and neighbor. Just don’t inflict your choices on the rest of us.
That’s like me telling you that you have to stay inside all summer because I sunburn easily.
@ parent
Why do you tout your aversion to wearing a mask as a badge of honor?
Calling for businesses and schools to open while also discouraging mask wearing are ideas completely at odds with one another.
Cloth masks aren’t perfect at preventing transmission, and maintaining 6 ft of distance with others isn’t perfect at preventing transmission. But both decrease the risk of transmission, particularly in combination with one another. Less transmission means fewer cases, which definitely makes opening up businesses, schools, restaurants, etc. more feasible.
So, if you want everything to open up, why discourage something that contributes to achieving your own stated goal?
@ Harry
You monitor the numbers and decide ahead of time what your alert and action limits will be. Maybe it is 25% utilization of ICU beds filled with COVID patients or 80% capacity of ICU in general. Maybe it is a percentage of people who test positive, but to get that magical herd immunity, that percentage will need to go up. Maybe it is a set percentage of tested patients.
@Not Math,
Then stay home. Have others help you. I am helping a couple of my neighbors because this has a good potential to kill them.
@ Fat Cat
It is a badge of honor to remember my rights, and have the right to choose to wear a mask. Too many people believe that because they are afraid, or compromised or ???? that they have the right to force everyone to wear a mask whenever they go outside, regardless of even if it is just going to get the mail.
Pleasant Hill has opened up camps for kids, 12 kids and 1 leader. The kids are not wearing a mask. They are not 6 feet apart. They are in a room a large portion of the day and outside a portion of the day. Schools can do the same thing.
Cloth masks are not being worn right, so they are not effective. The cloth does not provide a barrier against any virus.
It is feasible to open business now. Fear is the only thing keeping them closed. I do not believe that mask helps in achieving the goal to open up. The mask is a ‘feel good’ measure for most people, and if you are healthy, that is all that it does.
@Dan,
If you stay home and hide under your bed, you’ll never come in contact with me. Therefore, there’s virtually no chance you’ll catch anything from me.
As for me being selfish, I haven’t missed a day of work since the SIP started because I’ve been busy providing essential services to people like you.
@parent
You are contorting yourself to avoid what is a very very minor inconvenience in the name of liberty (or rather a selfish facsimile of it) and your own feelings.
“Cloth masks are not being worn right, so they are not effective.”
“The cloth does not provide a barrier against any virus.”
Which is it? Are they effective and not being worn properly or are they ineffective?
Please read this article that lays out a brief explanation of how and why cloth masks have been recommended.
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/heres-how-wearing-a-cloth-mask-helps-fight-the-spread-of-coronavirus/
I am sorry that you don’t believe that masks help in achieving the goal to open up, but I am more sorry that you feel that your opinion supersede a reasonable and rational safeguard that could potentially protect the community.
Sacramento County has a spike in hospitalizations and UCU cases. Contact tracers traced it back to 2 birthday parties and a church service.
It’s that simple.
@Fat Cat
Considering I teach folks how to wear a mask for the state, I have the knowledge to say that these masks are being worn incorrectly. And ever IF they were worn correctly, they are not effective.
yes, I have seen the peeing models that folks are using to justify their reason to support the mask … but last time I checked, a virus was smaller than urine.
I do not believe wearing a mask full time when outside is a reasonable ask for the general population.
Here we go…ugh. Ready for shelter in place part 2? We brought it on ourselves by letting our guards down. Just wear a mask outside always, and limit your excursions to only mandatory ones…we are nowhere near out of the woods yet. It’s insane to expect otherwise. This virus doesn’t care about inconveniencing anyone. It sucks, but we have to stay home as much as possible and be hyper vigilant when we do venture out.
Besides healthcare settings a mask does next to nothing intrinsically…it can serve as a reminder/barrier to face/touching, but that’s about it, and oh yeah, a huge virtue signal and a reason for Karens like you to whine about masks. And you think people should ALWAYS wear them OUTSIDE, the “outside” where it’s warm/hot, sunny with those germ-killing UV rays, and little to no chance of spread?
Here’s something you may not have considered but might want to now given your fear and hysteria: YOU stay inside, keep cleaning doorknobs on the hour, strip down in the garage before entering the house, and wiping groceries with friggin Clorox wipes…YOU are afraid, so YOU do that, the rest of us will get on with not just life, but LIVING.
The point of the SIP is to not overload the hospitals. The goal isn’t necessarily to not get sick, although, that would be a great plus. The reason for the SIP is that hospitals were not prepared with supplies to handle a huge influx of patients. Hospitals should be able to handle more cases. Now, we still need to be cautious and open things up in a controlled manner. We also need to be ready to shut it down if it spirals out of control again. However, we are doing the right thing by opening things up slowly and taking precautions to minimize risk.
Like I’ve been saying, follow the health experts that have decades of experience. Don’t follow Dr. Joe Plumber who got his MD from youtube videos, twitter, and Fox News.
Dan,
Uh, there is NO established efficacy for the use of masks…healthcare setting, public transport? Sure, wear a mask…of which the surgical, homemade, and other non-N95 are hardly any protection at all, but I digress. But grocery stores, restaurants, and other retail where distance measures are in place? No, masks are not necessary…if the establishment wants to require them, that’s their choice, but it certainly should NOT be a govt mandate. And wearing them OUTSIDE? Totally absurd.
And so glad to see you trust the “science”, which I have a sneaking suspicion you’re very selective on just which “science” that is. Well hey, how about the SCIENCE that we know who the vulnerable are, so how about we put max effort into protecting them, like say ensuring nursing homes and other LTC facilities have proper training and PPE, and maybe we don’t mandate that they MUST accept in Chinese Virus patients as was the case in states like CA, MI, PA, NJ, and especially NY, which greatly contributed to LTC deaths, the category which comprises ~43% of all Wu Flu deaths in the US.
As opposed to those prestigious MD’s earned at CNN and MSNBC?
@Carp — a mask is effective at keeping your airborne particles to yourself. If we all wear masks we could prevent 80% of cases. When I’m wearing a mask in public, it’s to protect you and the other people around me. We all have to assume we have it and be good citizens right now. Please wear a mask.
@Mask,
80%..? BS. Did the CDC or WHO tell you that, you know, the organizations that are more political than health, have flip-flopped on multiple aspects throughout this entire China Flu episode, the latest example being JUST YESTERDAY saying asymptotic spread is very unlikely, and then after suddenly remember they’re in the Team Hysteria camp, they reversed that within 24-hours. Masks are not much more than a huge virtual signal and feckless obedience to idiots.
Like I said, in a healthcare setting or environments that are prone to close quarters such as public transport, then yes of course a mask is reasonable. But grocery store, or say a mall particularly the outdoor variety, restaurant with distance measures…NO, not necessary. If it makes YOU feel better to wear one, knock yourself out. The more effective measure is people using this age-old but now seldom-used tool called COMMON SENSE: don’t touch your face, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, don’t lick doorknobs or pick up discarded gum and chew it. And if anyone expects me to wear a mask if I’m outside exercising, walking my dogs, just being out and about…? Anyone expecting that can GTH.
Cases rocket Strangely around 2 weeks after memorial day weekend. Hmmm..
Probably going to get way more from spreading it in all the protesters.
Could it be the protestors were to close together or is it to early to count them in yet? People will do what they want to do-if they were foolish enough to go out in crowds to protest-suffer the consequences.
One more case in Clayton! Did this person attend the protest last week? It would be nice to know how many of these new cases either protested or came in contact with a protester days later.
First case in Clayton since 4/10/2020. That is what we get for welcoming protestors. Thanks Mayor Julie….
Refusing to wear a mask because you know better – excellent humanity on display.
Yes, by all means, let’s throw the doors wide open and overwhelm the doors wide open. Those who whined about not getting haircuts or a beer with friends are going to love it when they can’t get timely care for a stroke.
And yes, I get we are not there – yet. In all your expertise – when exactly do we go from linear to exponential growth? When do we overwhelm our health care system? How do you turnn things back around when they get out of control? Really – I’d like to know.
Those are three very good questions. And here is why we have trouble getting answers:
1-We are given limited data of which the accuracy is questionable.
2-Decisions made by our leaders are politically motivated rather than health focused.
3-Each new crisis further demonstrates decisions regarding the virus are not science based at all, they are knee jerk.
Numbers are spiking and everybody wants to “make America great again” shaking my head
Has anyone been seeing that wayyyy more people are being tested. On 6-8 tested are 791 and 38 new cases. On 6-9 tested are 1158 and 68 new cases. Wayyy more tests = more new cases. There are wayyy more tests being done than even a few weeks ago so of course more new cases. It doesnt mean more people are getting it – just means more tests being done! Come on you cant all be that uneducated that you cant do the math. Please
If you go back to the rioting and looting days you will see that testing dropped back into the 300s or so per day for a while.
Looks like its spreading fast in Concord, guess I’ll be staying in some more
I will continue to stay home until this is all over. Now, got to be extra caution.
If this keep spiking up, hopefully, the state will not change it mind to go back to the phase 4 to re-shut down the state.
as of 06/09:
1,774 confirmed cases in CCC with 43 deaths = 2.42% death rate.
that’s just not how this works at all. Please get educated before spouting off useless and harmful fake stats. Your comment is utterly ridiculous .
Good job Concordian’s for making us look like dimwits spreading it a lot but at least were not as bad as Richmond!
Would be nice if these big nose people would wear their mask correct and not have their fat noses sticking out above their mask at the stores and how about try asking people to move their cart if you need something that’s by it instead of just leaning over all my grocery’s in my cart blowing out air all over them from your big fat odd shaped looking nose everywhere!
We don’t care anymore, we want our lives back !
Ironic.
for everyone out there complaining about staying at home or having to wear a mask…u dont know what its like for us essential workers who actually have no choice but to work. imagine other “human beings” coming into your office with no mask and coughing or breathing heavy. “oh i forgot my mask” while laughing…more like “oh i dont care if i get it or give it to u” enjoy spending time with your kids cuz i’m not able to! suck it up and shut up!!!!
LOLZ
thank you for the job you do. I am considered an essential worker because of the service I provide, but it makes me no better or worse than anyone else. I also WFH from most days, but if you think it is all about spending time with the kids and spouse, you do not have the right information. I need WORK if I am home. It is not PLAY time for me and my kids. I absolutely HATE being home and working while my kids are there because I FEEL that I am MISSING out on my time with them. At least in the office, I don’t see them, so it is easier to get by.
If any spike is even real its the Peaceful Democrat Protesters that caused it.
Oh, well that must mean only Democrats will catch it then.
I did not want to say anything but after I read some of the comments I could not help it. I have told that to a person and I am going to say it again not out of hate but just to confirm that corona virus is real. I hope to god you or any of your family won’t experience the illness, because you will be down on your knees asking god what the hell is going on.
Who cares anymore honestly. People need to mind their business now a days. If someone wants to be out let them be out that’s THEIR choice of actions. if you want to stay at home then stay at home and do you. Lol can’t wait for the gym to open back up.
To those of you saying “Stay home if you’re old or have risk factors”. What about the schools? Much of our teaching faculty is over 50 and many have risk factors. Many of us have elderly loved ones living with us. Especially here where housing costs are so high and teaching salaries are low, many of us live with extended family. Furthermore, there is a shortage of teachers and class sizes have increased, as districts slash their budgets. They cannot afford PPE for students and staff daily. Only one fourth of my students could be present in the classroom with recommended distancing. If I get COVID 19, all of my students and their families would be exposed along with my family. After 32 years of teaching, I know that social distancing 5-8 year olds is unrealistic. Even the cleanest of schools are germ ridden and expecting teachers to disinfect between each use is another unrealistic scenario. Teachers aren’t trained as front line medical professionals and nurses are scarce. Kids constantly arrive to school with coughs and fevers that now will need to be assessed immediately. Please consider the impact your requests to open everything, ignore masks and distancing have on those of us who are vulnerable. Please refrain from telling older and high risk people to stay home because it’s insensitive, selfish and makes the Claycord area appear to be narrow minded. Consider the whole community before you push for opening schools before it is safe.
Not everybody is a worry wart. Life goes on. Perhaps you need to consider the whole community yourself. Pushing everyone to stay home is mentally unhealthy, selfish and narrow minded too. Worrying that everyone will get sick is also unhealthy. Perhaps you need to keep this in perspective. 99% of us haven’t been affected. I hope you’re not a math teacher. “Stay home if you’re sick or have risk factors” is common sense and good judgment. The rest of us have every right to get back to living a normal life. Enough is enough. We’re mature adults and should be treated like adults, not children.
What teacher said. Most other commenters just spew from their mouths while having nothing to do with working at a school, nor will they suffer Covid19 health consequences as a result.
Thinking teachers or any staff can safely and routinely keep kids (and everything they touch?) apart to help control the spread of this virus Is absurd. Be prepared for the worst.
That is fine. Keep them closed. But for teachers who are not actually teaching, then they don’t get paid. Totally fine with me. If I am doing ALL the work again and teachers refuse to do their job, then no pay. The district could use that money to misappropriate somewhere else that never makes any sense.
