There are two in Grimes County and only 12 in Brazos County according to the Brazos County Health Dept. at their 4:30 conference today, so I wonder if one of the cases from Grimes County was moved here for treatment.gunan01 said:
Per a St. Joseph's email sent out at 4pm today:
"At least 13 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Brazos County and 1 case in Grimes County. 3 patients are considered community acquired. One patient is currently an inpatient at St. Joseph Bryan Hospital"
This is the most up-to-date site I have seen for USA individual state statistics:
Worldometers USA Coronavirus Statistics
As you can see, Texas has >800 cases and 9 total deaths thus far.
No flame, but it should read less than 1 in 10,000. Otherwise we'd have 2 cases instead of 21. Still very low odds. Do you use better math when preparing taxes??JKtaxpreparer said:
The last number I saw was 21 confirmed cases. I don't want to make light of this, and will probably get flamed, The population Brazos County (in 2017) was 222,830. That means the confirmed cases are .00942%, less than 1 in 100,000 people. Assuming (arbitrarily) that the actual number of infected is 100 times greater, there are still less than 1% of the population infected. We are destroying our economy and way of life over something that is a smaller impact than fatal car wrecks. The panic produced by 24 hour constant news is ridiculous.
Those over 60 (me) and/or with compromised immune systems should take adequate precautions and the rest should be reasonably accommodating.
I will always accept the pre-coffee defense, and so should everyone else.taxpreparer said:
Yep, posted before my morning coffee. Thanks for the catch.
I don't get it; this website says 94 confirmed cases in Brazos County, but this website says only 75.JP76 said:

So the death rate in B/CS is over 6%?Rapier108 said:
94 total confirmed cases.
To break that down, there are 78 active cases including 11 which are hospitalized.
The remaining 16 include the 6 people who have died, and the 10 who are classified as recovered.
This is the latest from the BCHD.
Hopefully those 10 people will start donating blood to help those suffering more serious cases.
My guess is the 19 latest cases were announced on Sunday, so they either have not been reported to or by the group who reports them to the website group. I guess they work on Saturday b/c they picked up those 3, but not Sunday.GiveEmHellBill said:I don't get it; this website says 94 confirmed cases in Brazos County, but this website says only 75.JP76 said:

Yes, but we have to remember 4 of the 6 all come from The Waterford, and it is very possible the other two do as well.johnnyblaze36 said:So the death rate in B/CS is over 6%?Rapier108 said:

Or the recovery rate us over 93%.johnnyblaze36 said:So the death rate in B/CS is over 6%?Rapier108 said:

Or the death rate is 0% for those under 70 and 26% for those 70 & higher, more so if you have compromised immune system.
However you want to use the stats, just remember to stay home when you can, and try not to get it from or give it to anyone. Keep good distance from each other when you have to be out.
Yep, they should make that public because it would probably reduce the public anxiety if it was shown a large number of the cases, and all or nearly all of the deaths, were all connected to The Waterford.02skiag said:
They stopped reporting whether or not the deaths are related to the nursing home. Given the ages it seems very likely. I'm curious as to how many of the positive tests are directly or indirectly related to just that nursing home.

HIPPA is the excuse a lot of health departments like to use to avoid giving out any real information.cavscout96 said:EBrazosAg said:

Not sure that is valid. The data is not tied to an individual by name or any other identifying characteristic.
