RELATED INFO FROM SATURDAY (cases by city):
COVID-19 canceled due to lack of interest
Oh good!… Now all the virus experts can go back to being climate change experts.
Exactly..or maybe try to find something productive to contribute to society..learn to code?
Statewide figures here and includes demographic breakdown. Deaths are currently at 2,215 or about 0.0055%.

Can someone please help me with my math?
40,000,000 x .0055 = 220,000 people
40,000,000 x .00005 = 2,000 people
California deaths = .00005% of a population of 40 million
Your math is wrong.
You can only die if you get it. If you don’t get it your not dying from Covid19.
So of those that get it 4% die. 2200/53000 approx.
@Ozzie – Thank you for helping me out.
So in conclusion, 40 million people live in California.
Out of 40 million, approximately 2,200 got it and died.
That’s .00005% of California’s population who died.
That number represents the total damage that the Communist China COVID virus has inflicted on our state.
Glad we were able to clear that up. Thanks again!
Patriot. You made a mistake again. You’re adding everyone in the state which you can’t do that. That’s like saying all 8 billion people in the world should be calculated. Not everyone will get it. You can only use the numbers that have been confirmed. Not numbers that are being pulled out of thin air. Cali is sitting at 2.96% death rate. More people will get infected.
@Me – you are also making a huge mistake.
At present the only people that are get tested and “confirmed” with COVID-19 are:
1) Those that are seriously ill AND present many of of the symptoms of COVID-19. If you are not seriously ill or don’t hit enough of the check-boxes then they will send you home without being tested. There is still a serious test shortage meaning they can’t waste tests on people that may have COVID-19.
2) Another group that can get tested/confirmed with COVID-19 are those found via screening of essential workers that also have high degrees of exposure to COVID-19 patients. An ambulance or fire crew that gets involved with treating and/or transporting a COVID-19 patient will get usually tested. It’s not even clear if they tested all of the staff and residents of assisted living facilities that had large outbreaks of COVID-19.
That’s it. The first group pushes the fatality rate for COVID-19 up by a huge amount. The second group is slightly more representative of random screening but there have been many people who commented to reporters that they were directly exposed to confirmed COVID-19 people for extended periods of time and yet could not get tested. Thus, even the numbers from second group can’t be used to compute the numbers for the general population as they are not testing people that are asymptomatic.
The 2.96% death rate you computed represents the upper bound of the possible death rate. The actual death rate is likely a tenth or even a hundredth of the number you computed.
Something else to consider is that you computed what’s known as the case fatality rate (CFR) for a population. The CFR is the percentage of those confirmed with a condition or disease that die as a result of that condition or disease. You called this the “death rate” which is not correct. The “death rate”, or more technically, the morality rate, is computed against the entire population that includes those that don’t have the condition or disease. Most people are never struck by lighting. The odds that you will be struck is 1 in 700,000 or 0.00014% in a given year. 10% of those struck by lighting are killed. The other 90% survive. The case fatality rate for “struck by lighting” is 10%. The mortality rate for “struck by lighting” 0.000014%.
@WC Resident actually no I’m not wrong. I went off actual numbers. People who have been tested, confirmed and passed. I didn’t pull these numbers from just anywhere. I am not going off maybes. I had to be tested because i had serious symptoms but my test came back negative. Just because people are showing symptoms doesn’t mean they have it.
You can’t compute a death rate on a population when people haven’t had it lol. That’s like saying you compare the total death rate to the entire population of almost 8 billion. You can’t do that because again, not everyone will get it so they can’t be a statistic.
The lighting scenario is different. You can’t compare the 2 because in the world. Everyone has a chance to be hit by lighting. With this virus not everyone will ever get it due to areas where some live. ” forests, The Sea and so on”
Also 1 flaw in what you say. You’re saying what about the people who can’t be tested that healed. Well what about the people who were not tested and died? It goes both ways.
May 3rd (CCC):
945 confirmed cases with 28 deaths = 2.96% kill rate.
However if 25-50% of people that have COVID are asymptomatic, then the death rate is much lower.
I.e., if there are really double or triple the number of folks infected, then the death rate becomes much lower.
I think in the end we will learn the death rate is much less than the current numbers indicate…I guess only time will tell.
Like most, you’re only going off people who lived. People don’t look at the other side that people have died that were never tested. You need to look at both sides
Our Death Rate is low when compared nationwide …

An HONEST ledger has two sides, income and expenses. The ledger being used to measure Xi coronavirus is completely dishonest.
First of all, coding every patient who dies and tests positive for coronavirus is Medicare, Medicaid, insurance fraud. There are all kinds of people who test positive with no symptoms, so only people with overt health issues from this virus should be coded like this.
How many people have been diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc…in the past 5 weeks? Because on average, over 35,500 people are diagnosed with cancer alone, each and every week! And a delayed diagnosis can be catastrophic. My guess is that more people will die from the side-effects of coronavirus than the virus itself.
If we need ‘herd immunity’ then we need to run with the herd and get back to normal life. I totally understand have strict measures at nursing homes, board and care facilities, and for anyone immune-compromised. And even for people too scared to face the .005% risk (have THESE folks ever driven in California?).
And finally, can we talk about the harm being inflicted on our youth? No exercise, education in shambles, isolation from their friends… I want to see all of the per-reviewed research saying these measure ARE NOT harming children.
The coding is done when Covid is positively the cause or death or more likely than not the cause of death. Stop spreading disinformation.
Imaging departments and oncology are still operating. As are urgent care departments. People still have access to cancer screening and cancer treatments, Stop spreading disinformation.
I see young people out all the time getting exercise. They are in the parks, walking, biking, skating, doing hiking trips on Lime Ridge with parents. Children can play with their friends, when parents mutually agree to do so.
Education isn’t in shambles. The education system right now is different, because it’s online, but it’s the same education. Students have direct access to through classes being held on zoom, and through email. Conservatives are always talking about how public schools are indoctrination centers anyway. Now conservatives are complaining about homeschooling.

You may be misinformed. Urgent Cares are not all open. The one at Sunvalley Mall is closed, so are many others. Yes, Cancer Treatments are still available, but knee surgeries are not, though I was told by a friend he can get an appointment now. He could not get the Cortisone shot he needed for his knee.
Yes, SOME young children are outside, but most that I see are high school and maybe some middle school. Where are the elementary school children? Parks can be walked through, but you cannot slide the slide. And if you follow the rules, you cannot play with your friends. They are not the same household. And if parents mutually agree to let their children play, does not add up to your 80% of Americans still favor SIP?
The education system for elementary schools is in shambles. Parents cannot work because they need to be off of their work computers to get their children on ZOOM. Many parents are just letting their kids play all day because they themselves have to work. Maybe you dont, maybe you are fortunate that your kids have their own computers and are old enough that they do not need oversite, but we are not all that fortunate.
“And if you follow the rules, you cannot play with your friends.”
That’s not what the shelter in place rules are though. Which speaks to the problem that so many of you have, and why so many of you are so frustrated, because you’ve been imaging the rules to be stricter than they are. I have seen elementary aged kids playing with each other, with parents supervising. Maybe I get out more than you do.
There is a huge difference between families that know each other.coming into a mutual agreement to allow their children to play, and opening up the schools. The risk is greater, because parents don’t know all the other parents of the school, and can’t keep track of other families’ health. In general the odds of infection rise the greater number of people come into contact with each other.
As for medical, I guess it depends really on which provider you have, because there are many providers who have various department open. They may have altered hours, but they are open. I don’t know what medical facility is in the mall, but both John Muir and Kaiser are offering most medical services.
Schools are offering laptops and tablets to children.
You are imaging situations to be worse than they really are. You are imagining the rules to be stricter than they really are.

Read the actual State and County ordinances.
The state says you cannot be closer than 6 feet if you are not in the same household, unless you are in childcare cause the parent is an essential worker. The county says you can if you are the same group of kids and in a limited contact sport.
As for medical, your first post said Urgent Care, now you say providers. Those are two different elements, almost like the goal post being moved when you realize your mistake …
As for imagining situations worse. I just telling what the ordinances say.
Kaiser and John Muir have urgent care departments, and they are operational. I didn’t make a mistake on this. You seem to be defining urgent care to be a very specific thing, or are confused on what urgent care means. Even Stat-Med Urgent Care says on their Facebook that they are still taking appointments for in-clinic visits. Maybe their mall location is closed, but they have other locations.
Kids can interact at a 6 foot distance. The can have races, have co-family hiking trips, talk to each other. There are ways to interact. Some families are taking more chances than others, and are letting kids kick a ball back and forth, which would be doable if parents are supervising.
The Concord skate park is opening this week. So somehow, kids who aren’t related to each other are going to have a chance to skate next to each other.
Go Natalie!!
@Natalie
Stat Med is closed. I had to take a relative to the ER a week ago because all the satellite urgent care facilities were closed. Urgent care is defined by the hospitals … not by me. Maybe they are starting to open up as well as there was a recent release of some medical treatment centers. But that HAS not been the case.
The Skate Park IS opening, but it HAS been closed. Things are STARTING to open legally. Kids can interact at 6 feet, you are correct. Teach the 3rd grader that. Kinda difficult when they want to play 4 square. But yes, if you teach them new games, and new ways to play, they can still interact. But that is like the parks, they are STARTING to do this. This has NOT been the case for the last two months.
You need to understand that the restrictions today are not the same as even a week ago. Things are changing quickly as our governor is being over turned by counties and the general population.
They told us we had to go thru all this to flatten the curve. Well? That was a lie.
Lying is the native language of politicians. So of course they lied.
Seriously nyt…so true.
I’ll bet those 21 cases are overwhelming our hospitals!
“A majority of Americans — 8 in 10 — say strict shelter-in-place guidelines are worth it” Source: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/23/843175656/8-in-10-americans-support-covid-19-shutdown-kaiser-health-poll-finds
So do you think that 80% of Americans are Marxists?
What if we listened to the non partisan medical experts rather than floating conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory?
No such thing as non partisan. EVERYONE has an agenda. Science has always been corrupt.
Medical experts save lives, but they also control human behavior and they do that very simply by intimidation.
One time I wanted to sneak in a visit to the doctor before work, so I scheduled the first appointment of the day. While I was waiting, a man came in with a briefcase clearly showing he was from a pharmaceutical company, and he greeted the staff at the window and they ushered him in like he was royalty. Before my appointment, of course. At the end of my appointment, the doctor was trying to get me to take some kind of nasal spray something as a sample for hay fever which was not why I had gone there. Money money money.
Yes, I read that article from April 23, 11 days ago. After seeing the protests across the nation, multiple in California, I do not believe that 80% of Americans agree with strict enforcement of SIP. I did not protest, but I do not think strict SIP is appropriate any longer.
Yes, we WILL have a second wave. No doubt in my mind because people have been cowering in a house, not going outside so their immune system is weak. They are not being exposed to bugs, so when they do go outside, they will be get sick and not be able to fight it off. All the SIP is doing now is extending the impact of SARS2 with our population
“because people have been cowering in a house, not going outside so their immune system is weak.”
People are going outside. The order is called “shelter in place” but that’s a misnomer. You can go outside. Nobody is saying that a person must literally never exit their place of residence.
Most parks are open. The sidewalks and plazas are open too. So you can stroll downtown, or in your neighborhood, or go to a wildlife open space, or do so many things. It’s recommended in the health order than people go out and do stuff, not to just sit at home all day.
You don’t have to just sit at home fuming, letting anger take over. People can go out and find things to do.
Natalie
You must not live in CCC. Most parks are closed. Parking lots are CLOSED. Signage says that. Ordinance said that, until today for some parks. Now they can not close all the parks, for example the ones by my house are open and I walk them. Great thing is, most of the folks are not wearing masks … we think it is STUPID. Some do …
In San Mateo County they are opening 12/13 of there 20 some odd parks today.
Sitting at home with anger .. no, I laugh at the fools cowering in place. I laugh at the fools that call this a Shelter In Place. In a legitimate SIP, you are not allowed to leave the area because of the harm that could come to you. Nothing changes that. For example, a chemical release from Marathon causing a cloud to cross over CCC, we shelter in place till the cloud is gone. We do not get to leave our house for food, exercise etc … This is not a SIP. This is an attempt to Quarantine the Healthy.
