CASES BY CITY:
The population of Contra Costa County is about 1.1-million.
Was the hospital set up at the Concord Pavilion ever used? Is that entity still getting paid $650,000.00 per month?
Back in the day news agencies would be all over that. Today unfortunately they commit their fraud in broad daylight and NOBODY says a word except in local message boards with limited reach. Now the state is broke after deals like that and it’s on the feds to cover. How does that work? We should know every detail of all deals made with our money. This zero accountability thing is bs. If you pay taxes you should care
heck how much money was lost (stolen likely) by Gavin when he did his deal over masks?

What? I read a lot of news and I hadn’t heard about that? How much money is our state pouring down the toilet by overreacting?
The answer to your question is No, some simple searching will give you the facts.
Please stop spreading false information
108 of the 188 deaths were in long-term care facilities.
There are currently 23 active outbreaks of COVID-19 at Contra Costa County long-term care facilities.
Nice work Gavin!
same thing that Cumo did in NYC
Perhaps we should be more concerned that one in four homes in California are at risk of burning according to National TV.. or is that fake news?
same thing that Cumo did in NYC!
@Lmarie Perhaps that’s another failure of Gavin Newsom. After last years fires nothing has been done to prevent wildfires (with the exception of wasting more money on helicopters). But you want us to look over there when the facts are facts. This governor refused to follow federal guidelines about COVID patients and nursing homes. He had a hospital ship and just like NY did not use it. As a result of his gross negligence nursing home COVID deaths became the tool to lock us down and shutter businesses. This is about blaming Trump in a lame attempt to win the election.
Firefighters are doing heroic work, but CalFire has the same problem as every other state institution: it now operates more to maintain its own bureaucracy in existence more than it does to serve the public. Their management of contracts for aircraft-based firefighting is a scandal – we could have vastly more resources in the air. Little-reported tidbit about the Mammoth Pool Reservoir helicopter rescue: that wasn’t CalFire, it was the National Guard. I read that CalFire told them repeatedly not to go in (though I haven’t been able to confirm that story from other sources). A nice little illustration of California’s institutions in action: “Sorry, we can’t be responsible for that. Good luck, people – get in the lake when the fire comes and hope for the best!”
And of course the whole situation with wildfires is exacerbated due to decades of mismanagement: we just let the fuel load build up indefinitely, supposedly out of environmental concerns! If that isn’t peak California… destroying our state and its habitability because of hubris and tunnel vision. And everybody has known this for a long time, but here we are. Our institutions are like a huge cargo ship navigating a narrow twisting fjord: even after you know you have to turn around, it takes forever to make it happen, and you keep having disaster after disaster.
how many cases are counted more than once when someone gets a new test that is positive?
187 deaths.
1.4M population.
Locked down for six months and 5 days.
CCC is about to move out of purple and into the red. Will the public schools go in-person in two weeks? (I won’t hold my breath.)
So I don’t understand if there are 1.1 million people in our County and only 963 active cases, why is that considered “Widespread”? That seems minimal to me? Is this the new math?
This new 4 level program makes no sense, then we move into what “Substantial??” According to CC health site the positivity rate is 4.7% for the last 7 days and we have 7.7 cases for 100,000..how much longer do we have to wait to be able to allow businesses to reopen? What are the numbers going to be on Tuesday when they assess what county can move to the next phase, 7.1 and 4% and they still going to make us wait another week? It is beyond frustrating that they came up with a system that is even more restrictive than the watch list…
Looking at the numbers in our county (number of new positive cases per day) it appears it will be a long time before we can move into a less restrictive category. We can’t have more than 7 new cases per 100,000 for two weeks before moving into “substantial” from “widespread.” The county then has to stay at the new lower numbers for three weeks before moving to the next less restrictive category. I think we’re in a for a long siege and more closed businesses.
We are in for a long siege, yes, but that’s the design of this “system.” If you look more closely at the CC health site, @Global, you’ll see that for today (or really for a week ago, 9/4, since the count it with a seven-day lag to allow all test results for that day to come in) we are under 7 daily cases per 100K now. But there are built-in time delays all over the place. Not only do they compute this with a seven-day lag, but they only update their review of a county’s status on Tuesdays. Also you have to meet the new tier’s numbers for two weeks before you actually move into that tier.
Even worst than I thought…I thought if we met their criteria for the last 7 days on Tuesday (less than 7/100,000 and the positivity rate below 8%) then they would allow us to move right away…if we need to hold these numbers for 2 weeks before we can even hope to go to substantial…How depressing….I just think that with the number of cases we have and the positivity rate being close to 4% we should already be in the Substantial category and allow some indoor businesses to open in some capacity, this is not a widespread status…after 6 months of lock down, maybe that is the best we can do.
You guys sound surprised. I have said for months the state is using Nazi tactics on us. Maybe you should try reading my posts. You been sucking up all that double speak thinking it’s for your safety. Your alarm should have gone off when they threatened the churches or tried to shut down the gun stores or mandated masks or said protests were fine but seeing family was not or told us to use gloryholes or opened the gay bathhouses in SF to preserve SF culture….
