Local covid stats

How are the numbers where you live?

Bexar county here - population over two million, at the moment just over two thousand confirmed cases, sixty dead.

People are still wearing masks and distancing in public, but there's a definite sense of relaxation.

 

Georgia cases have plummeted, I mean rock bottom after 2 weeks of being fully opened. I expected more actually, figured the scammers in Atlanta would be able to gin more up than they have.

Note the map in the above. This virus should be renamed the "BigLWCityTDSPanic of 2020" because it's not even a loud fart almost everywhere else.

 

Albany is a ghost town because it had one of the largest infection hotspots of the entire country.

And Gainesville is projected to reach levels that are higher than Atlanta.

 

Dekalb County - population of ~760K. Roughly 2600 cases and 73 deaths.

This tool from the Carnegie University, and using Facebook data, estimates that about 0.12% of the county (around 900) have Covid-19 symptoms.

My brother is a nurse for Emory University and worked several shifts on their Covid-wing, but has shifted back to his primary position as the caseload dropped. He expects to be one of the first to get the call back up when the next wave starts to spike again.

 

Don't want to give away my location, but our county of roughly 200,000 has a cumulative case number of about 400. The number of active cases has been fluctuating 110+-20 for about 3 weeks. It's like a steady state, with new cases matching the rate of recovered ones.

Now, with re-opening the economy, people seem to think that this is over. There was a line of 30+ cars at Starbucks yesterday. It seems everyone is throwing caution to the wind. We'll see if this will end well, but my feeling is that a lot of what has been achieved with stay at home orders and social distancing in the last 2 months will be undone by reckless behavior after re-opening.

 

My county, population of about 7500, has had a total of 3 cases, no deaths, no cases are active.

I don't see many masks at our small grocery, maybe 15%. Socially distancing is normal since most of us don't have neighbors. Arkansas has reopened in phase 1, with restaurants, salons, and gyms. Our state never had a stay at home order.

 

Cherrypick more, it's not utterly obvious to anyone older than 12 when you do that (which means it's constantly obvious to anyone every time you post pretty much anything to this forum), maybe 11 year olds are lurking and fooled by it? There are 159 counties in GA. I have already linked the comprehensive state site with actual, not cherry-picked data on ALL GA counties, any rational adults interested can simply scroll over counties.

"Albany is a ghost town?" ROFL with its ~90k population and ~130 deaths? It's a GHOST TOWN!! What a joke. Are the Walking Dead taking over by now? the vampire-zombies? rampaging through the "ghost town?"

Folks, use comprehensive data such as the GA site I posted at the top of the thread, don't be fooled and hustled by panic grifters and their infinite out of context cherrypicking and red herrings.

 

You routinely dismiss data regarding the infection and death rate in the entire country because "only certain states are affected to X degree."

And now, you want to dismiss county level data because you need the comprehensive data from the entire State?

 

Thanks for the block quote, gets the truth about the OOGITY BOOGITY "Ghost Town!" out to more lurkers.

No, I want to do exactly what I have done in this thread, link a comprehensive source that is useful, not engage in "GHOST TOWN!" nonsense and other fallacious fear-mongering cherry-picks.

Houston resides in Harris county and the entire county -- including more towns and cities than just Houston -- has a total of 9,050 infected and 193 dead. Houston alone has a population of nearly six and a half million people by the way. People are wearing masks in public, but more and more businesses are re-opening. Things are returning to normal.

 

Masks mostly don't and aren't intended to protect the person wearing it. They help to protect the people around them in case the wearer is a carrier and doesn't know it.

 

And yet Healthcare workers, in COVID wards have lower infection rates than the folks around them.

‘IF IT SAVES JUST ONE LIFE…:’ Journos sound alarm as coronavirus-related layoff wave starts to hit media outlets.

​

 

Do they have lower rates of infection? The best that I saw was that they were roughly equal.

But either way, the nurses on a Covid-ward should be using much more stringent and expansive PPE than simply "a mask."

 

Yes because medical workers wear N95 masks. Most people who are not first responders don't. They also wear face shields and/or goggles.

N95 masks will protect you if you have one and it's used properly. But you still need goggles or a face shield as it can enter your body through your eyes.

 

As I have witnessed time and time again, people who follow rw media don't even know the most elementary information.

Everything I have said here is common knowledge to anyone who follows the so-called MSM. On a daily basis, CNN has had on Fauci and Birx and many other highly qualified experts, including their own Sanjay Gupta - a brain surgeon whom trump offered the position of Surgeon General - to explain all of this.

They constantly have experts on to explain basic safety information and why we do what we do. How can anyone NOT know any of this stuff by now?!?!! JEEEEEEZZZUZZZZ!!!! Turn off the rw nonsense and BS and learn some facts!!!

 

That's dead on. If there is anything much of the country has learned through this crisis it's that when it comes to disposable masks, there is N95 and then there is everything else.

N95 is OSHA standard for the Construction and Industrial, anything else isn't counted as a filtering face-piece for protection against Industrial dust.

And as you point out, combined with a face shield or goggles, it's a solid protective system.

 

My county jumped from a weeks-long stable 12-16 cases (out of 40K people) to 50 cases a week ago, and have stayed at 50-51 cases since then.

I suspect they were tracking cases by hospital arrivals, and switched to tracking by residency, which put most of our cases that likely went to Seattle for treatment back into our county's count.

But we also have zero recoveries in my entire state since the first case and tracking began Jan 22... so who knows whats really going on or what parameters they're using...

 

Due to way too permissive "press protections" specifically crafted to benefit gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex propagandists, the scumbags will never be held accountable for the true damage they have done/do, but the numbers above are a decent start. Watching more and more junk media layoffs are just a tiny silver lining of the vast sea of misery that is about to strike all Americans other than some Complex and some of their cronies.

 

Don't worry, the economic damage achieved by the shutdown will persist for a long time. The shutdown just pushed infections into the future. They were bound to comeback whenever the shutdown was lifted.

 

At the end of the year our annual numbers of deaths from stroke, heart disease, renal failure, cancer, peripheral vascular disease, COPD and diabetes will be so low that everyone will acknowledge what a wonderful job our private system has done at fighting routine medical conditions. We only die from Covid now

 

Missed this delicious bit of irony earlier.

The most elementary information people get loud and clear, and it doesn't take a smidgen of RW media to acquire it, is that Fauci and Birx are AT BEST incompetent over-tenured bureaucrats, not "experts," not "scientists," at worst scorched-earth, power mad deep state operatives... and Gupta is a plain out Fake News HACK.

More irony.
