Contra Costa is now reporting 51 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the county.
One person (a Contra Costa man in his 70s with underlying health conditions who recently traveled outside the country) has died from the coronavirus in the county, according to the health department.
Are all those cases sick enough to be hospitalized?
Sick enough to be tested is all I’d infer from these numbers.
How many yesterday
50 cases yet our government shuts down all businesses. And if you really think they want the best for us you are very sadly mistaken. This was a coordinated plan prob in the works for a while to sh!t on our economy.
And people with your limited mindset will be the ones that keep this virus going.
More people probably have it. Kaiser and John Muir will only test you if you’re high-risk.
@Donk showing your intelligence.
As a front line worker I can tell you there are thousands more cases.
We are telling people not to come in unless life and death symptoms.
Telling them to stay home and take care of it like the flu. This is like nothing we have ever seen. If you believe only 50 cases I have ocean front property in Arizona to sell you..
Get rid of this nonsense.
This is dangerous to the public.
20 days ago there were approximately 50 confirmed-positive cases in the entire US. Now there are 20,000, and certainly many more untested but positive cases. This is how exponential growth works. It seems like a little until suddenly it’s not.
“This is dangerous to the public.”
Dangerous to the public is media, which anytime Trump is involved seem to be all but ready to “scream FIRE in a crowded theater”.
This should be a time when media is very careful to not cultivate an atmosphere of fear and take extreme care to report FACTS, . . . not ruminations and opinions
Talking head on msdnc demanded Trump be denied air time because she didn’t like what he was saying.
Interesting that free speech is a right, evidently only deserved of those she agrees with.
Have to wonder which is more important, ratings and ad revenue or uniting our country in a time of crisis.

Gitty,
Context matters.
They said that because Trump is still lying everytime he speaks
He is a terrible leader and he knew this would be a problem in January and did nothing that would help us.
Please stop spreading nonsense. There are not enough tests and people are getting turned away. The numbers are far more than indicated. I have a friend in Boston who works with people with compromised health, specifically cancer patients. She got covid19 from her roommate who had been traveling. She knew she had it a week before she could get a test but has been self quaranteened at home since she found out she was exposed. Even as a doctor she could not get a test for a week and the test results take days as well. The fact that I even know someone who has it blows me away. The US is now 3rd next to Italy and China and people like you that aren’t taking it seriously are playing with lives. I lost my job and I have a mortgage, ok? But if staying the F at home is going to keep my parents from getting sick, this is worth it for the long run. Italy is 10 days ahead of us. Look at their numbers!
Yogurt: Again, establish your own platform and moderate it to your liking. If Claycord is not meeting your standards, participate in public discourse elsewhere. If there are people reading Claycord COMMENTS for news and information, that’s their problem. I know it’s in the leftist DNA to try to exert control over every aspect of society, but do try to give it a rest.
Absolutely agree with Rollo. This poster ‘trugoy’ has been trying to shut down everyones comments while they parrot MSM. We can all just watch the TV, no need for trugoy.
Some deaths from Pneumonia might be COVID related but were people not tested for COVID so numbers are a little off.
@Truth teller – Amen!
Military, and probably civilian pilots who use demand type oxygen systems are required to be clean shaven because the mask seal has to be absolute. I wonder how many men wearing cup type, and perhaps other respirator masks have beards?
I have a 3M cartridge mask with organic vapor (paint) cartridges which also stop particles and fits perfectly. It exhales through a check valve. My N95 mask also has a check valve, but getting a getting a good seal can be problematic because of the simplicity of the design. I wonder which is best?
Stanford gave me the 3M mask with the dual P100 filters after I had my bone marrow transplant so I think that would be best. They said it filters out viruses and fungal spores.
Any idea the number hospitalized?
Stay home unless it is essential
Reduce exposing others
Be kind to one another
Have patience
That is so simple and wise, probably to wise and simple for some.
Social Distancing 4Ever!
I Was at Baldwin park today walking my dog. They had a soccer game going. I called the Concord Police and they wouldn’t take the report or do anything about it. They did accuse me of being in violation for walking my dog.. Such ignorance by our local police!. Sports activities are one of the ways that this really spreads. There needs to be big changes around here to stop this thing. Seems like the Concord Police are interested in that!
apparently, just being outside is enough cause for the police to stop you. Acquaintance had car stopped by elk grove police simply to ask where they were going and why.
It really boggles the mind, are they truly that incompetent or are there some other political machinations going on behind the scenes.
I heard a non-essential business is still open to the public and encouraging people to gather, does Concord PD care? the county? the state?
This is how the infection curve spikes! instead of flattens!
We are allowed to be outside as long as we stay away from people we dont live with (check Outdoor recreation)

Think of it this way: The parents of those children are completely irresponsible, and their families may pay for this shortly. That will be a time for reflection.
To quote Ron White, “You can’t fix stupid”.
I am sorry the Police turned your concern for everyone’s health back on you. The Concord Police like high speed chases and drug bust and I have noticed anything else is beneath them. Get their names and badge numbers and email our govenor. And thank you.
Insert meme of woman calling the police because people were having a bbq.
This is why we need to stay ahead of the curve.
NPR
The number of coronavirus cases in Italy continues to soar. In what has become a grim daily ritual, Angelo Borelli, the chief of the country’s Civil Protection agency, announced that in the last 24 hours, the death toll from the virus had risen by nearly 800 to a total of 4,825.

I have trouble with the information/stats that the .gov/county/health dept. releases each day.
That means 50 people tested positive out of ______ many tested?
How many people are currently sick (w/flu like symptoms) in CC County that have not been tested?
Keep in mind, once more tests are available (which will be very soon), the number of cases will seem to sky-rocket…. That’s because they will be tested.
If the slowly roll out the testing, the cases will gradually increase.
How many people have recovered?
How many people have only mild cases rather than life-threatening cases?
How many people are carriers compared to people who are ill?
The answers are simple math.
If those questions aren’t being asked, then the people aren’t asking the right questions.
as of today there have been no recovery’s average days to recover is 22
There are around one and a half million people in the county of which fiftyone are sick and one is dead.
Looks like someone read the article.
@Ricardoh
Not sure where you are getting your information from but these are more accurate stats and link that is updated frequently. It is quite an eye opener.
UNITED STATES:
24,782 people infected
301 deaths
171 recovered
Breakdown of today (so far) in the US:
5395 People infected today
45 Deaths Today
24 People recovered today

Hit submit too quick. At any rate, point being that CA is currently #3 for total cases in the US and the numbers are rapidly growing. I want to stay optimistic but there are most likely numerous cases in our County that have not been confirmed.
Stop downplaying.
We don’t know the real numbers because we don’t have massive testing that is needed.
Don’t act like this is not a big deal, it’s people like you that will continue to cause this to grow
I sent an email to the Covid-19 manager regarding your disappointment about the “low” number of fatalities. Hopefully we’ll see an uptick to make the economic pain it’s causing worth it. 😉

Question. Let’s say you have it, and get over it. Can you get it again? Or are you immune? If you know you’re immune, and can’t get it again, should you be out and about acting normal because you’ve had it already or could you still give it to others?
This is possibly the answer:
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/contracting-the-new-coronavirus-may-protect-against-future-re-infections#Protection-from-future-exposure
How many unconfirmed, a few thousand? Most aren’t lucky enough to get a test, even if they go to the hospital
How many deaths in CCC?
1
Hope you have all updated your wills and hidden the silver.
Are their any studies in which people are being tested for antibodies to the virus? Is it possible that what sickened me at the start of February was Covid-19? Same symptoms.
Also had a bout with believe was the flu, which I usually do not get end of January into February.
This from website that I check a couple times a day that has world and USA states breakdown. Hope it helps.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-symptoms/
Yes they are trying to find a way to test if people have had it and recovered.
I think the same thing, there was something that came through here around the end of February and people had coughs and small fevers.
I think it might have come through but without testing we don’t know.
Mr. Biden thinking rationally being used in a sentence is the funniest thing I heard all day. Thank you for your humor and a good laugh.
51 positive/1 death
So, if there 100 non tested people sick, but they only test 5, and then 1 is positive, it will be 52 positive/1 death.
If officials don’t acknowledge (test) the other 95, does that mean the virus isn’t that bad?
These numbers are almost meaningless as we don’t have massive testing needed
However based on what we have here are the numbers of people infected and the percentage of what happened to them.
This up to 3/16/20
Hospitalization- 20.7%-31.4%
ICU Admission- 4.9%-11.5%
Mortality-1/8%-3.4%
Those numbers will change and drop as more testing comes available.
For context- the 1918 Spanish flu that killed millions, that had a fatality rate of 2%.
This is a massive world crisis and it will take everyone banding together to get better
Not sure what to make of this whole thing… we have been out to shop for essentials. Most people I have observed are not distancing….have no concept of what is going on.
Did you really think the police really would help you.. concord pleasant hill and Martinez there only focus is trying to turn nothing into a arrest. Then makeing up stuff on their reports… don’t call the police for anything…. they can’t be trusted. They lie,sneak ,and steal….. they are traffic control…. if you need help ask a neighbor or call 911f medical help ……….
Many of the Covid tracking websites are waiting for county labs to start reporting how many daily tests and how many of the daily tests had a positive result since March 1. They should not be adding more labs until the lab has the ability of how many tests they are running and how many are positive.
But that is government for you 100% unaccountability.
Friends living in Puerto Vallerta, Baja report hoards of Spring Breakers from the U.S. are partying it up in the bars & beaches like there’s no tomorrow. They’ll return soon – many as asymptomatic ‘shedders’ sharing their new germs with us …
I can’t believe how easy it was for our government to take away our liberty. I get the reasons why the government instituted the lock down, and they are valid.
I have noticed a trend. Those that are skeptical of the government are shouted down and called deniers. To question government is not only our right but our duty. The CA. Government is far from perfect and deserves extra scrutiny.
Is the juice worth the squeeze? Will the cure kill the patient?
Okay for instant.
if recovery so far is 171 in CCC for those are recovered do you think they would have to be monitor for life in case if they get the virus again? I know some of you had mention about the spread of viruses again even for those had been recovered.
It like a cancer recovery that you have to be monitor for life. My sister is a cancer survivor and she have to be monitor for life.
Instead of making everyone stay home they should quarantine anyone over 60. Get everyone else back to work and with all they money that we won’t lose they could take care of the elderly folks who are quarantined. It makes no sense to quarantine and shut down everything. It’s not the plague.
