Mayor, thank you for this feature which informs us and helps us keep focused.
We’re any of the others of you surprised that Oakley has roughly the same population as Martinez?
“ WERE”…….. blast it!
When you spell something correctly to begin with and then….
Any contact tracing going on at all? Not hearing much about it. Seems like it would be the thing to do ASAP to pinpoint how and where people are catching this thing.
I’ve been driving food delivery for a month and doing mechanical repair jobs on the side out of my garage for people (in addition to working full time for a bank). Still haven’t met anyone who knows anyone who has gotten sick.
I know 4 people. A couple in Concord, a woman in Pittsburg and the other woman isn’t from this county ,but in Vallejo. So for people who are saying that the numbers aren’t right because they don’t know anyone they’re wrong because other people do you know people that have tested positive.
Is it you maybe? Ewww glad I haven’t come across you
@ InConcord – you’re right that’s antectodal evidence.
Death toll is up to about .00005% of Californians.
50% of Californians is 20 million
5% is 2 million
.5% is 200,000
,05% is 20,000
.005% is 2000
.0005% is 200
.00005% is 20
numbers most certainly can lie.
@MathMatters- You again? Have you been drinking Clorox?
40,000,000 x .00005= 2,000
You are lying like a communist troll.
Use a calculator for crying out loud!
40,000,000 x 10 = 400,000,000
Does that mean 400 million is 10% of 40 million?
You don’t seem to understand what per cent means.
.00005% of 40 million is 20 not 2000
2000 is .005% of 40 million.
The “current in Hospital” went down. That’s good news.
On most days that the hospital rate goes down the death toll goes up by the same number. The people not in the hospital any longer for the people that died. But yesterday maybe two people got released because the death toll didn’t go up
While I am sad for the families who lost a loved one to COVID, our Civil Liberties continue to be stripped from us. Freedom to assembly, freedom to worship, etc. Mandating face masks when they can be a real nusiance to some and others feeling of claustrophobia. If you incorrectly remove your mask, you can do more harm to yourself.
REOPEN CALIFORNIA and let us get back to work, school and living!!
The number tested jumped by 589 which is a new record for the number tested in a day for CC county.
Shelter in place plus social distancing continue to work well and are driving the other numbers down. I’m still wondering why they added masks starting April 22 given SIP plus distancing was already working. Maybe it’s a step towards opening more businesses and to have people used to using masks. Yesterday I saw a guy try to go into Safeway without a mask. He was denied entry.
@John P – The populations are a mix of FBI data from 2012 and US census from 2010. It appears the county used Wikipedia’s page for CC county to get the population for most cities. Wikipedia is using “United States Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation. Crime in the United States, 2012” as their source for the main population in each city table. There are seven cities in the county list that were not included in the FBI list and thus not on Wikipedia’s table. Those are Alamo, Bay Point, Bethel Island, Discovery Bay, El Sobrante, Pacheco, and Rodeo. For all seven cities, the county seems to have used the Wikipedia pages for those cities which are showing the 2010 census numbers.
The county’s table lists the total population as 1,153,526 . That number is the US Census population estimate for 2019 and is 163,541 higher than the sum of the cities they listed as it’s both people in unincorporated parts of the county plus the population growth since 2010 and 2012 depending on which city you are looking at. Ideally, the health department would have used the census estimate for 2019 for everything.
Concord Y, John P, S and S and Gitty Up, Sees EVERYTHING through the prism of whether you are a Trump supporters or not. If you are not a Trump supporter 100%, according to them everything you comment on, is totally invalid to them, and there is no changing their mind. They will decide where you stand, what your political leaning are etc. It is getting tiresome, glad to see someone challenging them. Problem is Claycord gives them more space than those of us that try to bring some kind of sensibility to discussion.
Hanne, perhaps Claycord has grown tired trying to figure out which comment you’re replying to. JWB, mtzman, Ozzie, Jojo Potato, Atticus Thraxx – none of whom are supporters of the President – aren’t complaining about Claycord censorship.
I am not complaining about censorship, but it does go on. And it does mess up matching replies. Rollo is way out of line using me as an example to support whatever he is pushing.
Jojo – point out what I wrote that is inaccurate, and provide support for your assertion that Claycord censors comments that don’t violate the terms of service, or pound sand. Up to you, sweetheart.
I went to Ace Hardware today. Crazy busy as any regular sunny spring Sunday. Same with Food Maxx. Everyone in masks. Maybe the masks all give us a false sense of security…
I hate how the word “data” is considered plural.
That is because “data” IS plural!
The singular form is “datum”.
datum = singular
data = plural
sample: You can find datum within the data.
Syllabus and Syllabi always mixes me up.
What Antler wrote.
But it’s pronounced ”day-ter”” in Little Rock and “dattah” in Hoboken. Data is used for the singular and the plural in the engineering world I work in. Anyone says “datum” is gonna get stuff thrown at them. Good natured-ly usually, but still. I once in a self serious moment used the term “synergistic energies” in a meeting trying to impress my boss and his boss and someone later super glued my key board and mouse to the ceiling of our lab with a sign that said “ synergistic energy department”. I couldn’t even be mad. 🤣
So when will Claycord start listing daily Flu stats? Will that be a thing too? It would seem only right to list The Flu numbers too, and deaths.
Next week start complaining about the common cold stats.
Still waiting for updated CDC info regarding pneumonia deaths, but at this point the total number has miraculously cratered.
Wow, S and S! I’m not sure what triggered your far right, pro Trump rant, but it definitely was out of the blue, out of context, and quite misplaced. Just because someone disagrees with you shouldn’t evoke name calling. Talk about out of touch!
No real mystery here. The reason for the smaller population gains is because Concord is almost completely developed. Housing is not being built at the same rate as in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Most of the new housing is limited to a handful being built on a small lot or the apartments being built downtown. When was the last time you saw a subdivision being built. The last one I recall is the gated community at the end of Cowell by YVR.
three new cases in Concord, Clayton, and Walnut Creek combined. Why are businesses closed and the citizens on lockdown.
What
a
Joke
sense,
While I certainly don’t claim to know the statistics (fake news!) regarding what you call right-left gun ownership, you may be surprised how many there actually are. Most of my clients are on the left side of the spectrum and they own a variety of weapons. Are they proficient with them? Based on my conversations, the majority say they own them “just in case” and many have never been fired. Maybe Atticus can shed more light on left gun ownership and use.
One positive takeaway from this Covid situation is the left represents a big part of the firearms panic buying. Buyers are getting a good slap in face while finding out they can’t sashay out of a gun shop with a loaded AK-47 and a bottle of Jack Daniels within an hour of entering the store like CNN says. And that silly safety certification that requires a test that I have to pay for???
I see that Concord just keeps on climbing – sometimes by only one or two cases. I took a walk yesterday and now I understand why. Most people did not have masks. This thing isn’t going away until we protect each other.
The medical profession exists to control human behavior and their primary tool for doing that is intimidation.
How do you know there lying?
Got proof or is this another talking point from something yoysaw on tv.
I don’t have tv … I have tv sets, but they aren’t connected to cable, and antennas won’t work at my location. I have Roku, but barely watch. I’m just too busy. It is my observation of how things work. Take it or leave it. And, I didn’t say they were lying. They will, if you let them, completely take over your life right down to telling you what to eat.
And, AGAIN, since EVERY non-murder death is being called a COVID death, we don’t really know the true numbers. We know that hospitals are furloughing and not busy. Especially in Coco County. OVERBLOWN numbers. Open back up. Let the healthy people back to work. If you are scared or sick, stay home.
Since I cannot ‘like’ this post, I will just say, SPOT ON Cool J!
@LL Cool J
What evidence do you have to support this claim? Investigative reporting? A link to a reputable source (or sources) would be very helpful, otherwise, this comes across as conjecture at best and disinformation at worst
Hey Ozzie
I have shown you the proof before from the CDC website. It says, that a doctor does NOT need to have a positive test to state SARS2 was the cause of death. To repeat that, does N O T need a positive test. I will not pull the site up for you, again.
CDC is the Center for Disease Control. You may not like them, but they are the board that tells Doctors how to determine cause of death in a time like this.
If you need more, look at the cardiovascular death rate in NY for this year, then look at the same time period for 2019. You will see that NY is far below last year and far below their average. Why is that? Did folks automatically get better control or are docs recording it as SARS2 for some reason?
You like to talk a lot on here, why don’t you do some research and present us with data or even jone validated piece of datum.
@parent
I think that you are over simplifying the reasons for, and implications of, a doctor not needing a positive test to state that COVID19 was the cause of death.
If, due to insufficient numbers of tests available, a patient was not able to have a test administered before their passing, it seems reasonable that a doctor would not use a test on the patient post-mortem in order to preserve it for others that have the opportunity of being diagnosed while living. However, if this patient had all of the COVID symptoms, it seems completely logical, for the sake of getting the best possible data estimates, for the doctor overseeing their care to use their best judgment to designate (or not designate) the death as a COVID death.
You use a decline in the cardiovascular death rate in NY as an example of deaths that are being directly and incorrectly re-attributed to COVID-19. But you provide only a binary explanation that either the rate has truly decreased or the sum total of the difference from last year to this year has been added to the COVID death total. I agree that the true death rate from cardiovascular disease is likely under-reported in NY, but there are many reasons that a stressed medical system may not be able to keep up on those diagnoses and data reporting, so I find your assertion that cardiovascular disease deaths are being attributed to COVID-19 in significant numbers to be an oversimplification.
@ Fat Cat
The CDC site states that you do not have to have all the symptoms, just one. I used cardiovascular, but other disease categories are also seeing diminished rates. Yes, the medical staff, in some of the U.S. is stressed, but that is not true for the entire country. For example, our county has 3X people in the hospital.
Yes it is oversimplified, but my point is that the COVID related death rates are overinflated. And since many of our leaders are basing their SIP orders on infection rate, mortality rate, etc … I would expect them to use accurate data and not use knowingly inaccurate data.
@parent
Here is an article relevant to NY: https://nyti.ms/3bJISs6
Even with the official COVID attributed deaths, there are still thousands of deaths above what is expected in a typical year due to flu, cardiovascular disease, etc. So, these additional deaths are either unattributed COVID deaths or collateral deaths (deaths caused by more conventional causes that would have been preventable with available medical system capacity). In short, the picture in NY looks like the COVID death estimates are lower than reality, and not overinflated, as you are asserting.
Fat Cat
Thank you for sharing that article. The one I read (can’t find in my 2 minute search LOL), talked about the state of New York as a whole, not just one city. If i can find it later, I will post that as well. It did not show such a drastic rise as this article does for NYC.
21K deaths in NYC is a high number for one city, but I wonder why they have those numbers. Is it because of the compact living, the multiple shared HVAC systems? I do not know … I have my suspicions … What makes them different?
@parent
I see your point that NYC has very high numbers itself, and it seems that population density may be one big factor behind transmission rate.
If you come across your article, I would be interested to read about the state level as well.
My point, in general, is that I see lots of folks on this website (and on other forms of social media, for that matter) who point to CDC guidance about cause-of-death determination and seem to think it is being used to artificially inflate COVID deaths. However, as my article indicates, in the US city where there is the most data available, a comparison with expected deaths in a normal year does not show an overstatement of COVID deaths, but rather an accurate count or even a potential under-count of COVID deaths.
While a single city may not ultimately be representative of outcomes throughout the US, I find it rash to dismiss the dangers of the virus
on the grounds that COVID deaths are being significantly overstated, as that does not appear to be the case at this point in time.
Not sure how much I trust these numbers when they can’t even get the population number correct. A quick google search shows they’re off by about 4,000 people in both Concord & Walnut Creek.
You all are talking # of legal residents, add the # of illegal residents and the population #’s go up by 100,000.
