This is the new COVID-19 daily update on Claycord.com:
-
- 690 active cases of COVID-19 in Contra Costa County.
- 81 new cases of COVID-19 in Contra Costa County since yesterday.
- 1,154 tests were conducted in Contra Costa County since yesterday.
- 1 death since yesterday.
- Only 1 person under the age of 50 (they were in the 31-40 age group) has died from COVID-19 in Contra Costa County.
- 51 of the 74 deaths were in long-term care facilities (1 new death since yesterday).
- There are currently 7 outbreaks of COVID-19 at Contra Costa County long-term care facilities.
PRIOR DAY CITY TOTALS:
The population in Contra Costa County is 1.1-million.
2,802 confirmed cases in CCC with 74 deaths = 2.64% death rate.
From the CCHS site (6/28/2020):
‘During the past seven days, the number of COVID-19 patients in hospitals in the county has increased 42%. The seven-day average number of newly identified COVID-19 cases has increased from 39 a day to 68 a day. The positivity rate of test results – the percentage of COVID-19 tests that came back positive – has also increased. This suggests the change is not simply due to more testing, but indicates a true increase in community spread.’
Richmond, San Pablo, concord, got the most daily increases.

Reality check:
Right now Covid deaths in California are under 6K. That’s LESS than they were for the 2018 flu season.

“Businesses and jobs” are human life.
If people don’t make it or grow it…its not going to exist.
The course you’re advocating will lead to food and supply chain shortages. It will lead to a drastic economic downturn.
There is a mortality rate associated with Recessions and Depressions and it is much higher than that of Covid.
@yoho
death rate is approximately 10x higher than flu at best afaik. Long term effects completely unknown, potentially extremely terrifying if anything like SARS-1, look up those studies. Afaik all food production +distribution + sales is obviously extremely essential and is not under serious impending threat.
It’s a tough situation. Probably best to close non-essential businesses imho. We wouldn’t be in this mess if it wasn’t for democrats rioting, looting and demonstrating en masse a few weeks ago, we were on the mend.
@Anon,
And yet 10x more people have not died of Covid.
To date, in CA, the 2018 flu has killed more Covid has.
Funny how statistics works. You can get a high death rate with a low number of Covid cases. And when that statistical death rate starts to lower because of more testing, the media says that cases of Covid are surging.
Its an endless shell game of statistics.
We’re being conned.
A pandemic is not 44 deaths out of a population of 1.15 million
Amen to that!
Agree
Keep fighting it, Einstein. You are just making this last longer.
@robert Jennings
Its 74 and growing, not 44.
how would you feel if those 74 people died are your close family member? what if the number increase to 500+ by the end of the year?
There is no slow on on the spreading, opening too soon and people disregard the safety standard will kill humans.
You can’t prioritize businesses or job over Human life.
@ RXL. Actually, you can. Has been done throughout the history of our nation.
@RXL,
How would you feel if all the people who are newly homeless because they had to close their businesses or the ones who committed suicide from the associated depression were your close family members? You can’t prioritize the lives of a few over the lives of the entire country.
That’s because the county has done a great job at keeping it from becoming one for know.
A pandemic is about disease prevalence, not the death rate. You people who didn’t study public health is why the county is hesitant to release numbers, because you misinterpret them!
Nail salons- can anyone explain the rational behind allowing hair salons to open but not nail salons? Seems to me a stylist will have much longer contact with a customer having long hair cut, colored, blow dried, and styled compared to a customer getting a manicure or pedicure.
I was thinking maybe bc manicures are face to face for a long period of time but with haircuts the stylist is behind the customer most of the time?
You have to have your hair cut, men and women both. You don’t have to have your nails done. Haircuts are a necessity, manicures and pedicures are cosmetic.
@Puffandstuff – I didn’t think about that, good point!
@Kentucky Derby – A person doesn’t have to go to a salon to get hair cut. This can be done at home, same with personal manicures for that matter. If hair salons were a necessity, they would have been allowed to remain open, just as grocery stores, drugs stores, etc. were allowed. My husband Jim is actually doing such a fab job of keeping my short ‘do in tip top shape with our Wahl hair cutting/trimming kit, I’ve decided not to return to my salon.
Do you want the good news or the bad news first ?
Politicians don’t understand science. The Governor believes that one (unproven) data point proves a trend.
Honestly both are entirely non essential if you want to be technical, and neither should be operating imho.
To devil’s advocate myself, a nail salon could easily construct a setup where you just put your hand/foot through a plastic barrier, with the worker on the other side. It would be safer even than what poor clerks have at the cash register. Just a single hole on the side of a plastic barrier that you can put your appendage through and get the work done. Hell, they’re uniquely set up for this, there should be little danger if done properly.
Maybe barbers/nail salon workers should be working behind a plastic barrier while putting their hands through sleeves into a clean area, kind of like Homer Simpson and his rubber gloves handling nuclear rods in the beginning of the Simpsons, if you get my drift.
First of all haircuts are more important, because unlike your nails you cannot do it yourself, I think some salons might put a limit on what the do, such as coloring and blow dried. I got a haircut a few weeks ago, the first day they were open, my regular salon could not take me until July 2, which was too long, since I went back to my job at Macy’s on the 18th of June. I was able to get an appointment on the 17th at Paris Beauty school on Willow Pass, and actually got a nice hair cut for only $8.00 and a $5.00 dollar tip. I have gone there off and on, and usually if you get someone that are close to graduated they do a good job for the money you pay. I have never gone to a nail salon, I just don’t have the patience to sit still for that long while someone works on my hands, besides I’m not big on strangers touching me, so I do my nails myself, they are not as perfect as if a professional does it, but it is adequate.
Both are non essential if you want to get technical, but I think hair salons and barber shops should be open. You need a decent haircut if you want to look presentable, and not everyone has someone who can cut their hair, and not every home hair cut looks decent. Kudos to those who get the job done well at home.
And nail salons are concerned about infections with pedicures, even before Covid-19.
There is no rhyme or reason to the rules, and that’s why so many of us are frustrated.
Bill Gates and his cronies ran a pandemic simulation, in the Fall of 2019, called Event 201.
In that simulation they accounted for about 50 million dead. We’re about 2 orders of magnitude below that right now.
The Spanish flu of 1918, killed at least 15 million, out of a much smaller world population. Covid has killed only a small fraction of that number.
To say that mitigation efforts like social distancing, face masks and the lock down are why the Covid numbers are so small is observably untrue.
For example, there were drastically less mitigation efforts in Sweden and the Diamond Princess Cruise ship. And still, their numbers did not approach the Spanish Flu or Bill Gates’ timely (wink, wink) simulation.
We’re simultaneously told that no one has a natural immunity to Covid, but that many will be asymptomatic. That’s a contradiction and it is being used to inflate the stats to make this thing look much worse than it is.
Early this year even Dr Fauci indicated that the deaths caused by Covid will be comparable to a very bad flu season.
That Dr Fauci is also part of the Bill Gates Foundation should raise serious concerns about the integrity of our government.
Why is a eugenic obsessed, computer geek informing our public policy?
I urge you: Contact your local officials. Just try it.
Even if it is just to tell them “Good job”. Reach out and give it a try. I’d be surprised if you get past a call center representative.
No accountability.
No transparency.
No representation.
Is this still a Democracy?
One of these days we are not gonna see this daily updates post anymore.
Only if we let “ them” . do not let the media , China, politicians, celebrities ect divide us! They are trying very hard but we can not let them. They are using race, covid, mask wearing vs non ect. .I’m afraid of what will be next. Anything to divide us further apart! Even the church I attend the priest today was using language that divides rather unites!
Let’s try to stay united as Americans and care for each other! Even those with other views, races, cultures ect.
United we stand divided we fall….
Wear your mask in public. Stay 6 feet apart. Wash your hands. Avoid large crowds. Don’t go out when you’re sick. If we had ALL done this over the past few months, we’d be in a lot better spot right now.
It’s not that difficult.
I trust that the people of Claycord can do ALL of this going forward. Thanks in advance for being responsible 👍
It’s the gatherings, parties, indoor activities causing the spike. Cut that out and we can have a somewhat “normal” existence until a safe vaccine is available.
I have read your nonsense response before Bernie .. and I still get a chuckle out of it.
Responsibility does not equate to wearing a mask etc. Responsibility should equate to making informed decisions based on science and data.
I do not accept today or the last few months as “normal”.
Like I said in another post, CCC Health and California Department of Public Health need to treat our nursing homes like Fort Knox…2/3 of the deaths are related to these facilities~It’s a shame our most vulnerable loved ones are in jeopardy! I just watched the CCC Board of supervisors meeting 6/23 and Dr. Sara Levin noted that contributing factors for high Covid-19/deaths includes workers that are low wage working multiple sites, baseline testing of residents/staff that was mandated by the state with complete compliance due 6/30/2020…they basically do not know what they are dealing with…advanced directives that are not known by these facilities, etc. Only 1% of all deaths in CCC are 50 years and below.

I’m finding that first- hand information is best in gathering transparency.
You obviously don’t know anything about math lol. Sure, if we were testing 2 people a day for a month and then 6,000 people a day for a week an increase in cases would in part be due to testing.
But once you have been testing a lot more people for a long period of time (which we have now) you can’t say an increase in cases is due to an increase in testing. Take a statistics class if you’re truly this dumb.
newsom is now being selective, closing all bars in Los Angeles, Fresno, Kern, San Joaquin, Tulare, Kings and Imperial counties. Several more counties it’s only a recommend.
Perhaps the economic damage his arbitrary shutdown is beginning to become clear to him.
Eighteen of CA’s counties have ZERO deaths,
an additional seven have had only one death.
That’s 43% of counties in CA.
Masking early on and proactively protecting our elderly, instead of incentivizing housing corona cases not sick enough for hospital, probably would have reduced death toll.
I have updated the graph of active cases vs. testing that’s at https://imgur.com/a/RSQK6hP
The number of active cases continues to climb while testing levels are dropping.
It took 39 days to get to the first 500 cases,
29 more days to 1000 cases,
25 more days to 1500 cases,
14 more days to 2000 cases, and
8 more days to 2500 cases.
I’m estimating 7 days to get to 3000 in the numbers released on July 1, 2020.
Over the past week:
Age 20 or under increased by 67 cases which is 14.9% of the total increase.Age 21 to 30 increased by 97 cases which is 21.6% of the total increase.
Age 31 to 40 increased by 93 cases which is 20.7% of the total increase.
Age 41 to 50 increased by 74 cases which is 16.4% of the total increase.
Age 51 to 60 increased by 44 cases which is 9.8% of the total increase. There was 1 death in the past week in this age range.
Age 61 to 70 increased by 27 cases which is 6.0% of the total increase. There were 3 deaths in the past week in this age range.
Age 71 to 80 increased by 24 cases which is 5.3% of the total increase. There were 3 deaths in the past week in this age range.
Age 81 to 90 increased by 14 cases which is 3.1% of the total increase. There were 6 deaths in the past week in this age range.
Age Over 90 increased by 10 cases which is 2.2% of the total increase. There were 4 deaths in the past week in this age range.
The total increased by 450 cases. There were 17 deaths in the past week.
And for the year to date we have:
Age 20 or under has 336 cases which is 12.5% of the total cases.
There have been no deaths in this age range.
Age 21 to 30 has 466 cases which is 17.3% of the total cases.
There have been no deaths in this age range.
Age 31 to 40 has 481 cases which is 17.9% of the total cases.
There has been 1 death in this age range which is 1.4% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 0.2%.
Age 41 to 50 has 472 cases which is 17.6% of the total cases.
There have been no deaths in this age range.
Age 51 to 60 has 384 cases which is 14.3% of the total cases.
There have been 5 deaths in this age range which is 6.8% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 1.3%.
Age 61 to 70 has 255 cases which is 9.5% of the total cases.
There have been 10 deaths in this age range which is 13.7% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 3.9%.
Age 71 to 80 has 145 cases which is 5.4% of the total cases.
There have been 11 deaths in this age range which is 15.1% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 7.6%.
Age 81 to 90 has 98 cases which is 3.6% of the total cases.
There have been 27 deaths in this age range which is 37.0% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 27.6%.
Age Over 90 has 49 cases which is 1.8% of the total cases.
There have been 19 deaths in this age range which is 26.0% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 38.8%.
I had gotten distracted and forgot to add the by-age data for 6/27/2020 to my tables before running the summary. Here is the corrected summary for 6/20/2020 through 6/27/2020.
Age Incr. Percent DeathsUnder age 21 82 16.1%
Age 21 to 30 113 22.2%
Age 31 to 40 112 22.0%
Age 41 to 50 73 14.3%
Age 51 to 60 49 9.6% 1
Age 61 to 70 33 6.5% 3
Age 71 to 80 22 4.3% 2
Age 81 to 90 16 3.1% 2
Over age 90 9 1.8% 4
Total 509 12
The percent column shows the relative size of that group. Most of the increase was in the age 31-30 and 31-40 groups.
I won’t re-run the year to date numbers as adding one more day of data does not change things that much.
Thank you for the details
When I see something from the media, Saturday Night Live – Da Bulls, Da Bears
Damn dude, showing your age. Even I was a child when that was popular.
When will people realize that “cases” are very different from “deaths” and actual “Covid 19” deaths as listed on the death certificate on Line 1 as the actual cause of the death?
Can you share data on the age groups of the current cases in the hospital?
While it seems it would be useful to know the county is not making this public.
@Lol – You make no sense. But let’s simplify it all for you.
The homeless did not practice any prevention on any level. They are malnourished, at risk and don’t even have running water. Forget about masks, distancing, hand washing, etc.
They are fine. There are no piles of bodies of homeless. Why? How is this possible?
It’s possible because the reality is that the virus is nowhere near as deadly as advertised. It’s political.
@Patriot
So, you’ve done a comprehensive study of the homeless population and are proclaiming them covid free?!? YOU are amazing! Come on! It’s not helpful to spread false information. That makes you part of the problem and not the solution.
I think it takes more than a day to get the results from the test. When my husband took the test, it took more than a week to get the results. His came back negative. I’m only pointing this out because Claycord posted the number of tests the day before like those could possibly be included in the recent data. Most likely, the recent date is from tests that were taken a week ago.
