Some CV positive news in Dallas County and City of Dallas. Data sources are Johnson and Jenkins twitter feeds, which I've put some of the data into a spreadsheet from June 1 - July 31.
County Level:
Trailing-7 - 740.3 new cases (34.9% off the high of 1,137 on July 12)
Trialing-14 - 805.2 new cases (27.3% off the high of 1,108 on July 17)
9 out of 10 days at or below 800 new cases after 18 straight days of at least 1,000
Trailing-7 matches July 4th T-7
Trailing-14 at its lowest level since July 8
City Level:
Of the 622 deaths:
74% (460) had at least 1 high risk condition, and that does not include many of the ones we've pointed out on previous posts that were in their 70s/80s/90s with "no underlying conditions"
5% (32) deaths are 40 and below, despite accounting for 56% of cases (26,894/48,028), not accounting for underlying conditions here.
66% (408) were 65+, while only accounting for 9% (4,359) off all cases (48,028)
Hospitals
ICU beds - 72% (has not crossed 75% capacity)
Ventilators -40% and have stayed at roughly this capacity
I assume deaths lag reporting by at least 2 weeks (maybe more based upon what Harris Co. publishes), and I'd expect to see a death toll rising to account fr the Mid-July spike; and despite new cases reducing, deaths to lead the news, and starting to use total cases. We're getting close to 50k total in Dallas County, there will be some fear porn being broadcast and published then, even though the death rate will be less than 1.50%.
