Maybe we should put some of those state statisticians on our available ventilators. The extra oxygen might improve their math skills.

OK I need help. We have a total today of 172 icu beds 34 beds are available. That is 19.7%. The county says 11.8% beds. OK class who is right and who is BS ing?

15 deaths were reported on Thursday and another 20 on Friday. That likely explains why the ICU numbers are starting to drop.

Ricardoh – I agree that something is wrong with the ICU numbers. FYI, you computed the raw ICU availability did not do the adjusted availability thing. It’s 12.7% for Friday’s data and the county says 11.8%.

How many of those deaths were counted as covid and not another underlying condition?
