We are so unhealthy that we will prob continue to see deaths for a while longer. But deaths are down 90% nationwide since late April for two consecutive days. So that's promising.
The first post on this thread was on 3/11 when we had our first case in MS. Now 105 days later we are at 22,898 known cases and almost 1,000 deaths. Sadly, after dropping for several days, we're starting to see a spike in new cases and deaths again. Good news is mortality rate has been dropping. Not too long ago in MS it was almost 5% and as of yesterday it was around 4.3%. I guess have to see if this latest spike reverses that.
I suspect you'll see the latest spike drive the mortality rate down, assuming we are like other states where the spike is driven by younger people getting it.Quote:

around +50 net hospitalizations since yesterday
ICU about the same, but we can't really tell because they're not putting suspected ICU patients on the graph for whatever reason
As of this afternoon, The 9 county Houston Metro Region is out of ICU beds.
Last night Texas Children's Hospital, began accepting adults in the ICU.

Only 2,300 new cases yesterday...
The cases i'm aware of personally were from High School Graduation parties that brought it home to the parents/Grandparents. Kids, Parents and Grandparents all sick.
2300 cases in Houston?Quote:

Yep. Experts saying AC is one of the leading contributorsQuote:

With all this MS has a less than a confirmed 1% infection rate of the entire state. 17k+ Of 22k+ are no longer infected. Half of the deaths are in LTC units. Let those numbers run through you head and tell me what's the proper response?? And sitting at home isn't the right one.
5 months ago the same peeps said couldnt get it person to person. Then it went, not from surface to surface. Then hard to get surface to surface. In the same span, masks didn't matter, then they do, and then not so much, but keep wearing them.... but Liverpool has been consistent, you protect him, Bc he has a job that's important and you don't need to give it to him....Quote:

You are doing EXACTLY what the Chinese want. Keep doing your best to spread it. I wouldn't have come after you if you had not come after me.Quote:

But closed 2/3 of its covid only icu and that part is now back to general icu. So that's good.
Of the 22 deaths yesterday, 12 were from May and early June. 21 of 22 deaths were over 50.
We are averaging about 8 deaths a day the last few weeks, which is better. Will be interesting to see if deaths go back up with all the new cases.
Well, 1,092 new cases being reported today, with 5 new deaths.
Previous high was 611 a couple days agoQuote:

How does that positive rate compare to historical average?Quote:

4 of the 5 deaths are over 60.
Hospitalizations are up
ICU and vents are not.
It's 9.2% positive overall, up from 8.95% overall yesterdayQuote:

Not sure that's an issue either way. Everybody with suspected infections are tested, so presumably by the time they need a vent they are probably either confirmed or not. I guess the exception would be if somebody didn't want to get tested and then delayed going to the hospital as long as possible, they might end up on a vent before getting any tests back.Quote:

I think I remember Dr. Dobbs saying the number of positive antibody tests is so small that it doesn't matter. (I might be wrong on that. Been to so many of the press conferences, they begin to blur) I do agree though. Even if it's just one positive that is a result of an antibody test, let us know.Quote:

Nobody puts much stock in the antibodies tests. They are not that accurate.Quote:

The two worst are a set of grandparents.Quote:
