Why are the schools closed?
But the mall can be crowded full of kids…….
And they can sit together in their cars.and play x box at the house,etc.
Hoax…………………………………………………………..
I will not go so far as to say ‘hoax’ but I will add to you thoughts.
On 12/19, we had 10.2% ICU capacity that translates to 21 beds.
On 12/20, we have 24 beds available, but only 8.6% capacity.
The numbers do not add up.
12/20 should read:
24 beds available divided by 170 beds (146 occupied plus 24 empty) should yield us 14.1%.
12/19 should read
21 beds available divided by 161 (140 occupied plus 21 empty) yields us 13%.
So is the county doing our numbers or the state … cause whoever it is needs to learn math.
Nobody under 30 has died because the schools are closed. Why would you want that number to go up?
No less than 2,000 deaths per day due to COVID-19.
@Parent,
It’s basically COVID math by the State who is reducing capacity percentages if the number of COVID patients in the ICU exceeds 30%.
Contra Costa had 35% (60/170) COVID ICU patients yesterday, so the capacity is reduced downward from the 14.1%.
Here is what the Hospital Dashboard says on the County website – “The percent of unoccupied adult ICU beds is adjusted downward if the percent of adult ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients is over 30%. The ICU capacity is reduced by 0.5% for each 1% over the 30% threshold.”
The percentage reported is not an accurate reflection of reality.
Yes, a hoax. Every hospital, health department, and government agency is In on it. Worldwide. Damn! You found us out. Now I need to tell my 3,000,000 co-conspirators. They’re gonna be bummed.
The “Johns Hopkins Report” you cite was not a report, and did not come from the medical side of JH. It was a presentation by an academic associated with the Applied Economics Masters degree program in a webinar. Never published, never peer reviewed… but the right wing media jumped on it and suddenly it became a thing.
JH has, essentially, refuted it, as have MULTIPLE reputable health-care agencies and educational institutions. The analysis was fundamentally flawed, as one would expect from someone not trained in epidemiology.
Per a spokesman for JH:
“In response to an inquiry about Briand’s claims, Johns Hopkins University spokeswoman Karen Lancaster said in a statement that “[w]hen individuals associated with Johns Hopkins exercise the right of expression, they do not speak on behalf of the institution.”
“As set forth in the Johns Hopkins University Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom, academic freedom ‘is designed to afford members of the community the broadest possible scope for unencumbered expression, investigation, analysis, and discourse,’ all of which must be subject to the scrutiny of peer review,” she said.
Lancaster added: “Johns Hopkins University continues to have grave concerns regarding the extraordinary toll of death and illness wrought by COVID-19 and remains committed to contributing our expertise in responding to this continuously escalating global health crisis.”
Deaths aren’t flat this year. Look up CDC excess mortality. There’s a big surge in all-cause deaths starting around April, then it moderates in early summer, shallower rise in late summer … it matches the Covid spikes quite well, actually.
People play with the stats by neglecting the long time it takes to compile death numbers. (For whatever reason.) If you take out the most recent few weeks from the comparison we are about 300k deaths ahead of where we would normally be. In short: it’s not a hoax. Plenty to criticize about the political response, the tunnel vision, the arbitrary decisions .. but a lot of people have actually died who wouldn’t otherwise be dead.
What’s frustrating to me is the same people complaining about things being closed are the same people ignoring the simple message of wear a mask, social distance and wash your hands!
This is why there are so many cases and the lies about the lockdown.

This is all a created scam to ruin lives and keep everyone in fear, panic, distrust and braniwashed.
And do people realize that it is the Chan Zuckerberg foundation generously funding the testing to keep everyone shut down and on facebook more?
