If diabetes is poorly controlled (a1c over 9) it seems to sharply increase the death risk.
Does the same apply to HTN? A friend of mine has had HTN since 20 but its been under control since then...
I'm trying to think if different COMORBIDS under control mean anything - she is also just under obese since having a baby.
Spreadsheet updated.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

There is something we don't yet understand that these chronic conditions do when poorly controlled that allows more severe COVID infections. LIkely something to do with up regulation of ACE2 receptors which COVID latches on to.

To follow up on this story since the family made it public and KBTX ran a story on it.Esteban du Plantier said:
In her 30s?
Wonder if this was one of those stories where she died and had covid, but death was from a car accident or something. Or what the exacerbating factors were.
https://www.kbtx.com/2020/08/02/young-college-station-mother-dies-of-covid-19/
Diabetes and overweight, which are two of the biggest risk factors this virus has.
It does not make her death any less tragic, but for putting it into perspective of the virus and why she likely died from it; it is something that should be noted.

511 active cases in Brazos county, or 0.22% of the population.
But with 2,222 new reported tests being given, I suspect we will get new cases as the results of those cases roll in. A 12.5% positive rate would result in about 275 more cases. Not too bad.

Were they within the last week (A&M's tests perhaps) or were they from 2-4 weeks ago and are just not being reported? We've seen reports from elsewhere that positive tests are reported right away; but negative tests can languish in limbo for a while before being reported to the state.

I don't understand why positivity rate is useful data anyway since it can swing wildly based on the number of tests and whether contact tracing is involved or a known cluster is being targeted.
Yeah if they're doing contact tracing right, then naturally it should result in a higher positivity rate.Loaded said:Belton Ag said:I'm not sure it's even worth publishing because it's probably very inaccurate.pants said:

Speaking of that, has anyone had any experience with contact tracing? Has anyone been contacted? I guess I'd understand if you wanted to keep that private but I'm curious as to how the process works here locally.
I'm hoping you're correct in your thinking. I'd prefer for them all to be past tests with the result already included in the numbers. But even if not, the number of new cases shouldn't be too many.Rapier108 said:Except we have no idea when any of those tests were done.agrab86 said:

I get that we would like to know that data, but i know a few college kids that live in BCS that got it earlier this summer. They were not counted here, and were counted in their home county (where my parents live).
My understanding is that every case will be counted based on the address on their DL/county of record.
"So for students coming in to Texas A&M if they receive their test here in Brazos County and they have a Brazos County address then it will be reported through the Brazos County Health Department for case investigation and contact tracing regardless of what their permanent address is," said Angela Clendenin, the co-director at the Texas A&M COVID Operations and Investigation Center.
this makes sense. It would be stupid to do it any other way, BUT contact tracing SHOULD be done both here and at HOR.theNetSmith said:https://www.kbtx.com/app/2020/08/04/how-students-returning-to-am-will-affect-covid-19-numbers-in-brazos-county/histag10 said:

Friend of mine in the housing biz just tested positive. By his own admission he was going out and about, everywhere. Told me he had contacted about 40 people, and wasn't through yet.
My sense is he just did that on his own, rather then give names to his doctor.
do you know every local person who has ever sniffed covid? Man I need more friends.
I wonder what our daily numbers will blow up to once the students arrive. I doubt they put much pressure on the hospitals; but there will be SOME need there.
No doubt the news outlets will run with "Brazos County is one of the worst in the country regarding new cases" narrative. No context provided, of course.
If a kid gets tested here and is positive; count them here.

Thankfully no. My TAMU friends are all fine...the ones I know getting it are in the local business community. Would love to not hear of anymore catching it.
Have we received an update today?
No, they're very late. Maybe it's b/c they have no new cases to report. One can hope!panduh bear said:
