RELATED STORY FROM SUNDAY: 1,048 Confirmed Cases Of Coronavirus In Contra Costa County – 12 More Than Yesterday – Death Count Goes Down
RELATED INFO FROM SUNDAY (cases by city):
The real question is when is Contra Costa going to get the testing numbers up? Out of a population of 1 million with only ~19 tests done so far. Guaranteed more people have it and just as many people have the antibody for it. Our governments from federal to state and local were so underprepared to deal with this. Many of our institutions are poorly run.

It’s all up to the residents now in CCC.
Who knows? I tried to make an appointment on Friday but was stuck on hold for 2+ hours. Guessing they have no phone staff available and our local gov’t is too tech-incompetent to implement an online pre-signup.
Good to see zero case for a change first time in the long time. except for the death went up by one since yesterday.
That curve is looking pretty flat now. If it please the crown, maybe we go about our lives now?
@yves, I hope we can go back to a modified way of life – social distancing and masks suck, but it’s better than the quantity of cases spiking and us stuck at home again. I agree, testing is a huge part of successfully staying out of a societal quarantine.
“No! And don’t ask again you ungrateful minion!”
There are plenty of tests for people who are sick. I know someone who was tested a week into the shutdown. It has never been an issue other than the huge number of false positives from the cdc tests. There is no reason for more testing. It has been proven ineffective in prevention. The testing narrative is the key to keeping small business and the economy shut down. The testing narrative is the key to their whole plan. Watch who pushes the testing narrative. I have heard we need more testing every day over and over from only 1 particular political party. Pay attention. This is not about a virus.
@sam – I’m not sure I understand your point about testing. The point of testing is to identify cases before they can spread. This is especially important since it appears 60% of cases are asymptomatic. Better testing would allow us to identify the sick and quarantine them rather than quarantine everybody. This then helps to open the economy which is what I think you’re after.
Dang straight Sam! There’s money to be made here and we’re getting trained to blindly obey our elected masters too, that’s a win win situation for the people currently in charge in CA. BTW – that bonanza isn’t going to happen using hydroxychloroquine…. it’s been around forever and is too cheap & plentiful to make much profit on it. Nobody cares if it works, we just need a new, more expensive drug to use and we have to develop a vaccine too (it’s going to be really expensive) so hang on folk’s this rodeo is just getting started and will run thru November. We have to keep things as desperate as possible until after the election at least (so we can blame everything on Trump).
@Brandi – why do you think the state is profiting off of this pandemic? Why do you think hydroxychloroquine works? There have been multiple studies that not only show the drug does not reduce the severity of symptoms or the duration of the disease but it also increases the mortality rate. Why would you advocate for a drug like that? Maybe i’m misunderstanding.
Danny on the spot..your score is off the charts
@Sam – What does that even mean? Why do you make those comments in response to mine? I would love to engage in a conversation with you. It seems we have differing opinions. Unfortunately, your comments make it nearly impossible to engage in a meaningful conversation. Perhaps that is all you are capable of.
@ Dan, because doctors around the world are using it & patients are recovering quickly. Do a little research, try France & Israel. There is no vaccine yet, but hydroxychloroquine is helping patients recover… fast.
For 10 May there were ZERO deaths and only 12 new cases for entire CoCo County. Is large responsibility to supervise, continuing destruction of an economy.
Still waiting on new strict regulations to protect elderly in high density situations, from liberals so fond of exercising control, limiting rights and mandating of behavior.
New strict regulations? You don’t think that 2.5 months and counting in solitary confinement is strict enough? My MIL is in assisted living, and that’s her life. Stuck in her room, taking temp twice a day, meals in her room, allowed to walk the hallway on her floor with social distancing. No family visits, no going out to shop, nothing. Might as well be in jail.
For April 10, the Contra Costa Health Department reported one new death and a single new case. The seven-day average for new infections was 14. At least the County is publishing a lot more information than they were a month ago.

@Chuckie’s Wife, yes, strict on the residents, but do the staff have appropriate PPE? Do the staff get tested every few days? Does the facility admit Covid patients and then have the same staff take care of them and the other patients? They are ruining the lives of the poor residents while the states have largely failed to protect them.
Clearly some institutions are doing this right, but it is pathetic how slow most states have been to get things in place: on the contrary, they have forced institutions to accept Covid patients in many cases. Staff should be tested twice a week. Real PPE in any institution with a positive case. Recovering Covid patients shouldn’t be forced into long-term care facilities unless they have a fully isolated wing of the facility and the right PPE.
Back east a single worker at a care facility infected 24 residents, 20 of whom subsequently died.
Holyoke Soldiers’ Home Massachusetts. 70 veterans died. Video news report is staggering, https://www.wcvb.com/article/more-than-70-veterans-dead-in-horrific-coronavirus-outbreak-at-holyoke-soldiers-home/32307100
90 people DEAD in two facilities, does that not beg more precautions to prevent infection passing from staff to the elderly be implemented ? ?
People are either in lala land or trolling strict restrictions if you haven’t notice that is what has been Just read Galvin is opening up most of California business and such about time!
No, he is picking and choosing who can make money, and who will go out of business. Being intellectually challenged is a choice. Gavin didn’t have authority to shut the state down to begin with. This a war on the rights you don’t know you have or appreciate. Read a book.
I thought we were in phase two. Which sounded suspiciously identical to phase one. SIP.
How soon is this coming to California?

Soooooo. Has any body seen the makeshift hospital at the Pavilion? Just a bunch of empty tents at 500 or is it 650 million a month? There is a group of homeless that live in the vicinity. Maybe they are making use of the space.
as of 05/11:
1,048 confirmed CCC cases with 32 deaths = 3.05% death rate.
The number you keep providing is not particularly useful by itself, since we’ve only tested 19k people out of a county of over 1 million. I guess the question is, are you doing it on purpose?
Yes, it is the percentage of confirmed positive cases in this county that died, where Covid was deemed to have been the cause or a contributing factor. So what does the known case fatality rate really tell us? By itself, it takes things completely out of perspective and we could do that with a variety of things.
There are multiple studies worldwide now, that have used antibody testing to get a better snapshot of what the mortality rate actually is, by determining approximately what the true number of positive cases was. Although they are not perfect, and it differs by area, they are consistently indicating a mortality rate about 5 to 10 times below what you keep trying to imply.
It’s odd the amount of people trying to take things out of perspective, either to ramp up fear or to totally dismiss it. I can’t see where either is productive.
@TD:
Don’t bother. The irrelevance of Kauai Mike’s rudimentary calculations has been exposed over and over, to no avail.
TD/RT: Since these numbers are sent at approximately the same time each day and display a standard format which looks like spacing to automatically fill numbers, I believe Mike is just working on his programming skills and wrote a program to automatically scrape the data and send it to this site. If true, he probably does not even read the responses.
I wonder if doctors go out of their way to inflate the percentage of people who die from (or simply “with”) the flu every year too… like they do with people who smoke or ever used to smoke, and with Covid 19.
