Why can’t this metric be on the image-chart?
You have the “total confirmed cases including the recovered” But not the active cases on your image?
“Currently, the county has 360 active cases of COVID-19.”
Also yesterday it stated;
Currently, the county has 357 active cases of COVID-19.
Today’s is: Currently, the county has 360 active cases of COVID-19.
How is that 44 more?
.. active cases that they know of.
@Pat
Yes I’m aware.
Because every day active cases recover and are no longer active cases.
The county does not report “active cases” directly. Instead, they report three numbers which are the total cases to date and the total recovered cases to date and the total deaths to dated. As it looks like a useful number, people have been computing the number of active cases by subtracting the total recovered and deaths from the total cases.
The county’ defines the number of total recovered cases as “Total cases where the date of symptom onset or test date was over 14 days ago. Excludes deceased and hospitalized.”
That means the computed “active cases” is the number of new cases for the last 14 days plus the cases more than 14 days old and still in the hospital, minus those in that recent group of people that have died.
The county’s number is an estimate as COVID-19 may run for less than 14 days or more than 14 days. However, it gives a decent ballpark number.
@It’s A Me – I was going to comment to Claycord about that as they have been using confusing wording for several weeks. I’ll send them an e-mail.
@WC Resident
Thank you so much! Makes a lot of sense now. 🙂
I just found it a bit awkward/confusing.
If you look at the recovered from yesterday to today the difference is 41 so that’s where the difference is coming from. More people have recovered So the active cases would not of gone up the total amount. Still the amount of people getting it and the amount going into the hospital is rising
Thanks! 🙂
It’s getting bad. I’m sheltering in place and only go out to buy food and demonstrate.
@ Chris
That make me laugh. Thank you for that insightful comment on humans. Very Yogi Berraish!
😂
Chris, I am with you
Hahaha! I’m with you!
“Demonstrate.”
Mostly peacefully, of course.
Mostly.
Just don’t you demonstrate against the lockdown, you grandma killer.
as of 06/13:
1,921 confirmed cases in CCC with 44 deaths = 2.29% death rate.
Can everything just open up already ? I had gone to Sunvalley mall yesterday AND the veranda.. people are out enjoying their time and we’ve all missed it. It felt so refreshing not having to wear a mask at those two locations. I’m ready for the rest of the summer .
Arizona a red run state that had to open early and open everything is now closing restaurants in Phoenix due to significant spikes in the Trump virus. Hospitals UCU gave reached 80% capacity.
Thanks Gov Newsom for going by the numbers snd science.
The Chinese Communist government can always use some new faithful lackeys. You should look into applying.
Ozzie, it makes me curious to know what Hanne has written that she claims didn’t get posted, because you calling this the Trump virus when you know darn well it’s the Chinese virus is such a blatant lie. You should be ashamed of your pathetic lying self.
I thought even though places were opening like the mall people were still suppose to be wearing masks
YES !!! Definitely, we are still supposed to wearing masks and gloves…. and also maintaining social distancing. In fact, it’s probably more important than ever that we do so.
The only….ONLY …. change is that more stores and services are permitted to start doing business again.

Some pretty interesting Covid-19 stats in this article by Swiss Policy Research.
Of note is that the actual hospitalization rate is much lower than was initially predicted…1% actual vs. 20% predicted.
“7) Hospitalization rate
Initial estimates based on Chinese data assumed a very high 20% hospitalization rate, which led to the strategy of ‘flattening the curve’ to avoid overburdening hospitals. However, population-based antibody studies (see above) have since shown that actual hospitalization rates are close to 1%, which is within the range of hospitalization rates for influenza (1 to 2%).
The US CDC found that Covid-19 hospitalization rates for people aged 65 and over are “within ranges of influenza hospitalization rates”, with rates slightly higher for people aged 18 to 64 and “much lower” (compared to influenza) for people under 18.”
