Fresno County added 229 new coronavirus cases and eight new deaths on Tuesday, bringing the total to 41,098 total cases and 514 deaths, according to state data.
The county is now averaging about 341 new cases a day, increasing by nearly 14% from the tally two weeks ago. During that same time, the county had also reported an average of about 3.7 deaths per day.
The California Department of Public Health on Tuesday reported Fresno County had an average of about 24 new daily cases per 100,000 residents during the week of Nov. 28. During that same seven-day stretch, more than 11% of people who were tested for coronavirus had received positive results.
With Fresno County continuing to set new records for coronavirus cases each day, the number of intensive care beds across hospitals countywide has effectively reduced to zero.
On Monday, hospitals in Fresno County had about nine ICU beds available, and the county’s latest assessment set the remaining capacity at 0%.

Illinois case numbers are holding steady at a level significantly below their peak three weeks ago but still a bit above the earlier May peak. Hospitals still have a bit of slack.
Not to lay a jinx, but we had some good news today.
The phone appointment with the primary care nurse came off on schedule this morning. She is efficient. She already has the health care proxy paperwork signed and arrangements for hospice care en train. What a welcome change!
The insurance people called on time. They asked a great many very detailed questions, but Dad seemed satisfied with the call.
Yesterday afternoon and evening Mom was more talkative and alert than she has been for some time. Asked for a little bit of chicken for supper and had a better amount of fluids. She has also been together enough both yesterday and today to make meaningful, thoughtful comments on the content of the TV news. Not everything she has been saying makes sense, but it has been in complete, well formed sentences. Couldn't work out what she was saying about a stroller with a piano keyboard attached. /scratches head/ Otherwise, she's been doing very well. Such conversation and all that thinking is very tiring needless to say. Also, I realize I shouldn't read too much into such ephemeral moments. Still, they are encouraging.

Just one week after the United States broke a daily record for coronavirus deaths, it did so again on Wednesday, when officials across the country reported at least 3,011 new fatalities.
I wish, Alan! This is the county that has Burlington. A number of nursing facilities have had outbreaks. I’d say they are at least half the count. In Washington County (where Root*Center*Son lives, there was an intercollegiate sports game that went awry, COVID-wise, back in the Autumn and really spread. This is still the fallout from that event.

Way back when, I took a vacation (my first!) in DC, and spent almost all of it at the Smithsonian museums. One exhibit I particularly remember was a diorama of a part of the Antietam battlefield--a huge photo for the background, and among other things in the foreground tree stumps (about 8 or 10 inches in diameter, I think) completely cut down by rifle fire. And bear in mind that those were muzzle-loading rifles. Among the Civil War exhibits I also particularly remember the pikes John Brown's men carried.
Dr. Fauci said Vermont and New York are the two top states in handling COVID-19 correctly.

DeleteDr. Fauci was present via Zoom at the Gov’s press conference with the Health Dept here a few months ago, heaping high praise.
NYC area is still scary, but way upstate is more like Vermont.

Is there not a typographical error in your data for Chittenden County? Well, I guess maybe not--both daily and fortnightly totals are up.

Out of curiosity, just now I divided the number of Fresno County deaths by the number of cases, and it comes to 1.2%.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a reasonably low death, rate. I wonder what it is per county here. Statewide it’s 1.6%.
DeleteHere it is:
DeleteChittenden County:
Cases 1842 Deaths 48 = 2.61%
Washington County
Cases 801, Deaths 3 = 0.37%
Addison County (where VT*Grand lives)
Cases 213, Deaths 2 = 0.94%
Grand Isle County (where I went on retreat in October)
Cases 48, Deaths 0 = 0.00%
Clearly, Chittenden County is tipping the scale for the State. Sigh.
Those early nursing home deaths tipped the scales a good bit.
DeleteYes, but we’re having a second wave of them.
