What were the ages of the 5 new deaths?
One was in the age 71-80 group and the other four were in the age 81-90 group.
Contra Costa County has 5 new deaths—just checked county dashboard and they are ALL at long term health care facilities…what is Dr. Farnitano doing to mitigate this other than more testing? 29/49 deaths at LTHCF, anyone concerned about this and how 1.2 million healthy people have been quarantined for 3 months now?
Is it a surprise that a large percentage of deaths were in Long Term Care Facilities? This is the pattern that we have seen across the entire country and heavily in California. Unfortunately the data the State reports by facility is incomplete and untimely.
@Sancho…
Call Dr. Farnitano.. (925) 370-5000. Ask him what he’s doing to help prevent unnecessary deaths in the County’s skilled nursing facilities.
Call an investigative reporter. Ask him/her to report on the continued life/death risk in our SNF/nursing homes.
I make calls every single day about this travesty. The elderly, at-risk, those with under-lying health conditions and the workers in these care centers have no voice compared to hospital patients and employees.
@Pat—thank you, I will contact Dr. Farnitano…it appears we have another New York nursing home covid-19 death crisis brewing. You’re right, the care of our most vulnerable is not getting the media attention it deserves.
@WCreaker–Unfortuntately we will never see the big picture in regards to the data of LTHCF until its too late, which is a shame given the age of technology.
Curious why you aren’t still directly posting the numbers for us?
Looks like we had 5 more deaths since yesterday.
@ Steven,
It’s much more efficient to go directly to the source for this non-pandemic. Fear-mongering CNN would have you believe It’s The End if The World, but those of us who actually understand epidemiology (or have just a small dash of common sense) are fine with this “not news” being relegated to a footnote.
While most of the data is on the Contra Costa County web site Claycord had been adding two things that were useful and seemed to be of interest to the community.
1) Claycord preserved a copy of the by-city count each day. The county does not offer a way to see the growth in cases for a city.
2) Claycord computed and published and preserved the active cases count for each day. The county is not showing the number of active cases nor does it have a bar or line chart showing the number of recoveries over time meaning someone can’t calculate the number of active cases for yesterday or any earlier day.
Yeah why does the ccchealth
Keep posting like they are some recognized force in the universe

as of 06/16 @ 11:30am:
2,026 confirmed cases in CCC with 49 deaths = 2.42% death rate.
Here’s a summary of the data to date organized by age group.
Age 20 or under has 233 cases which is 11.5% of the total cases.
There have been no deaths in this age range.
Age 21 to 30 has 325 cases which is 16.1% of the total cases.
There have been no deaths in this age range.
Age 31 to 40 has 354 cases which is 17.5% of the total cases.
There was 1 death in this age range which is 2.0% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 0.3%
Age 41 to 50 has 356 cases which is 17.6% of the total cases.
There have been no deaths in this age range.
Age 51 to 60 has 311 cases which is 15.4% of the total cases.
There have been 4 deaths in this age range which is 8.2% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 1.3%
Age 61 to 70 has 210 cases which is 10.4% of the total cases.
There have been 7 deaths in this age range which is 14.3% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 3.3%
Age 71 to 80 has 116 cases which is 5.7% of the total cases.
There have been 8 deaths in this age range which is 16.3% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 6.9%
Age 81 to 90 has 79 cases which is 3.9% of the total cases.
There have been 16 deaths in this age range which is 32.7% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 20.3%
Age Over 90 has 38 cases which is 1.9% of the total cases.
There have been 13 deaths in this age range which is 26.5% of the total deaths.
The death rate for this age group is 34.2%
The county’s by-age tables report on a total of 2022 cases and 49 deaths. The overall death rate is 2.4%
I assume there are four cases where the age is not known which would explain why the county’s by-age totals are less than the 2,026 COVID-19 cases for the county.
While this summary shows that COVID-19 has been deadly for for older people keep in mind that most of those deaths were in long term care facilities and the reason people are in those facilities is they are not physically and/or mentally able to live on their own. The odds should be better for people that are in good health and living independently.
At present though, the age 81-90 plus 90-on-up age groups account for 5.8% of the cases but well over half (59.2%) of the deaths in the county. If you include age 71 to 80 in the “older” crowd the numbers are that older people make up 11.5% of the COVID-19 cases and account for 75.5% of the deaths.
The re-opening of the economy and resulting spread of COVID-19 is going to have a severe impact on the grandmas and grandpas among us, particularly if they are not in excellent health.
