In Perspective: CV-19: How we doing HERE? as of 5/27/20

May 28, 2020 by Gregg 1 Comment

OWN VOICE ~ InPerspective by Gregg Dieguez.

I admit to feeling a little chuffed* at our Bay Area responsible behavior in the face of this Pandemic.  We were on it early, on our game, eyes on the ball.  Nationally, of course, a total disaster, but not HERE.  Right?  Well, sit up and pay attention.  Not So Fast.

California Counties sorted by Deaths/Million as of 5/27/20

As of today’s data on the new Mercury News CV-19 Dashboard (which is really 5/27) San Mateo County is …. Ooops!  5th worst in deaths per Million in California. I guess THAT’S why they’re still keeping us from parking near parks and beaches…  We’re the worst in the Bay Area…  [Click to Enlarge Chart]>>>>>

Also SMC is 8th worst in Cases per Million…. among counties in California.  And deaths follow cases, so we’re not getting out of this quickly.

On the whole, California just can’t shake the virus.  Most days, we’re leading the country in new cases; we’re consistently in the top 5 in new deaths daily.  But adjusted for population, we’re better than half the states.  As the chart below shows in cases per million,  we’re still better off than Washington, which got hit early.  And Colorado, which re-opened too early.  And Georgia looks bad, having faked the data to trick people into believing re-opening was a good idea.

Cases/Million 05/27/20 Selected States

Some of the states that currently look better than California are lying, and they are trending to catch up.  Not only did Florida fire the scientist who built their state’s CV-19 dashboard for refusing to manipulate the data, now they’re calling CV-19 deaths “Pneumonia” to hide the re-opening issues.  If they corrected those death classifications, they’d be at 280 deaths/million, 14th worst in the country, and above/worse than Colorado.  So move that green line on the chart WAY up…
Plenty of states are faking the data to match their preferred ideology and policy choices.  So, at least we’re honest, but we’re being hit by a wave from Mexico, and part of that wave is the 265,000 U.S. retirees and legal residents in Baja, returning for health care they don’t dare get in Mexico and crowding SoCal hospitals.

Rolling 7 day average of deaths/million

Finally, nationally, we just can’t get it together.  Other countries which were hit hard (like Italy), have recovered with their death rates declining substantially.  But with the rise in cases on our southern border, and the ‘reopenings’ in the SouthEast and MidWest, we’re not under control as a country, and Mexico is closing in on us fast.
So that’s why we can’t get to our own beaches, that, and people who don’t realize we’re not out of this yet.

I hate seeing Colorado on this list of “too early”. Our family is still pretty locked down. No one is going inside anywhere – not the grocery store and not friends houses. We have done some very limited outdoor socializing with a small group of screened individuals and always maintaining physical distancing and cotton masks. I CANNOT believe they are opening up gyms. I don’t know anyone who wants to dine inside a restaurant – or even outside at this point. I hope that, despite re-opening too early, Colorado can keep things in check so the kids can return to school in the fall.
