That’s about a similar number (17) as we’ve been having this whole time, but between yesterday and today, the number of tests was over 2000 tests.
Tests per day were more like 200 – 400 up until very recently.
Good news, let’s open it up.
Most of you where not born when The Hong Kong flu 1969 I was a kid don’t remember wearing masks or not going to school remember my mother telling me it was mostly elderly that passed from it and such seems like these leftist have other agendas with this lock down
It is obvious now that this is no longer about the virus but a political tool used for control and economic suppression.
I remember being told we need to flatten the curve!
Now I’m being told we need to find a cure!
I’m telling them to go to ……
Nope actually Volcanoes.
I have to agree with @Alan. Nothing is more insulting than having government employees, both in public health and law enforcement, with guaranteed incomes and fat pensions, telling the public what is best for them, while the public loses their savings, businesses and risks homelessness.
Is this 18th century France? We know how that turned out. The people will only suffer so much until they bite back.
“Nothing is more insulting than having government employees, both in public health and law enforcement, with guaranteed incomes and fat pensions, telling the public what is best for them, while the public loses their savings, businesses and risks homelessness.”
Would add to this, progressive liberal politicians using crisis to further their long term agenda.
Time will tell to what extent we may have been lied to.
In all fairness, you can’t stick this one on Farnitano or CC Health. This is a worldwide thing, with many countries making the same decision, without thinking of ramifications.
Stone cold truth right there.
But that’s not all! Why is an unelected bureaucrat making policy that is tantamount to law? It’s because our local politicians have abdicated their responsibilities. The board of supervisors should step in and reign this in right now. The mayors of all of our cities in this county should be going ballistic protecting our civil rights. City council members should be doing the same. Police chiefs and law-enforcement should be doing the same.
Instead, they are all hiding behind an unelected bureaucrat who in turn is hiding behind the other unelected bureaucrats in the other Bay Area counties within the cartel that they formed.
So in the end, our local elected government has gone into hiding which has given a bureaucrat the power to control everything who is hiding amongst other bureaucrats. Basically, no one is in charge and we are all getting screwed big time.
They will keep their paychecks they will keep their jobs they will keep their families intact they will keep their homes no problem. But for us, we’re screwed.
Thank you local bay area politicians. You all suck!
your way overblowing the future of all these kids . believe in them support them they are very resilient a couple of months or even 6 or a year they will; get through it make sure you do.
For comparison, Ventura County, which just announced significant re-opening, has these numbers today:
“The total death count for [Ventura] county currently sits at 29 cases, while the total case count is at 858. The county had tested 17,962 people for the virus as of Wednesday, with 464 added in a single day.”
VC is smaller than CCC, and it’s per capital cases, deaths, and hospitalizations are right in line with ours. And we have done significantly more testing per capital. AND Ventura county borders LA County, which is far and away the hardest hit in the state. So why are they re-opening faster than we are??
I’m grateful we have done well to this point, in terms of the virus. But this snail’s pace towards opening even low-risk activity is maddening and unjust. Shelter-in-place is an extreme and destructive measure, and should be treated that way, not as a new default from which we can slowly, slowly watch metrics, as if Covid-19 were the only bad thing in the world.
Correction/Addendum: Ventura County has *more* people in the hospital than Contra Costa, in spite of a population of 845K compared to our 1.15 million. And they have fewer hospital beds than we do. And again, they are next to LA, which has many times more active cases than the Bay Area does now. What am I missing here?
Give retail businesses guidelines for re-opening, remove shelter-in-place, keep some restrictions on gathering sizes, proactively test front-line workers, and require masks in indoor public spaces. Boom. Probably 95% of the transmission-prevention effect without the blunt destruction of an economy that’s going to be in trouble as it is, and without telling free people to shelter in their homes indefinitely.
as of 05/20:
1,209 confirmed cases (CCC) with 33 deaths = 2.73% death rate.
In the big picture, that 2.73% figure is meaningless given how few people have been tested. At first, they weren’t testing people until they showed up at the hospital with ARDS.
A 2.73% death rate of critical COVID-19 patients is a lot different from a 2.73% death rate of patients who tested positive for COVID-19.
Where can i see historical data on this? You post everyday, but i cant see trends. Any help would be appreciated.
