Huh? One was 8/5.

One happened three months ago to the day, the other two months ago to the day. A lot of things were different at that point in time.

And there will always be outliers. You can't make decisions based on outliers.

For 30-49's it's roughly the same between C19 and non-C19 pneumonia.

People die all the time and it sucks.

And the other two were at least two months ago, one at the beginning of the peak, and the other at the absolute peak.

Self quotage to add, if you are 30-49 years old, C19 deaths make up about 6.5% of all deaths in that age range, so by my way of thinking, you should be about 6.5% more worried about dying than you were going into this mess, something much less than that if you're healthy and less still since you're not dead yet and we made it past the peak.

Or put another way, if you're 30-49 and think that you're going to die, there's a 93.5% chance C19 isn't going to be what gets you.

3 deaths in the 40-49 category with no underlying conditions. Hits close to home.

It's important to know the details of those cases. It's a bit reckless of them to just put that out with minor details, but then we know that.

Does this thing hit Hispanics and blacks harder than whites for any biological reason, or just societal?

There may be a vitamin D connection as well.

All that and they are disproportionally represented in "essential" low-paying jobs that can't be done remotely, or live with people who work those jobs (in the case of the elderly). So much higher risk of transmission on top of the physical issues.

The fear of the virus among lower-income SE groups (of all races) is actually entirely rational; they are more likely to get it and more likely to have bad outcomes if they do, statistically. But it sucks because their kids are paying the price, and there's not an easy answer to fix it.

So this weekend is basically the Grand reopening of all the major bars due to the new TABC laws. All the previous covid hot spot bars on Washington and in the heights are reopening this weekend, if they haven't opened already. Wonder why Turner or Hidalgo haven't said anything about this yet.

Is this weekend basically going to be a repeat of Memorial Day weekend where everyone goes out, bars are packed, and covid cases spike? How long until bars are forced to shut down again? It'll be interesting to see how the city/Turner responds to everything opening up again this weekend since things will basically be back to normal.

Anyone have a clue why hospitalizations are rising so much after plummeting?

Where are you seeing any material rise in hospitalizations?

The census appears to be down, as more are leaving even though admissions rise, but it's odd to see a 11% daily increase over 7 days

Was the dip prior to the last 7 days around the time of the hurricane approaching? I think that dip is the anomaly because new admits are fairly steady compared / slightly declining compared to the period prior to that dip.

I was thinking it was the hurricane effect as well, but thought it would have bottomed out sooner. Maybe they're still "catching up"

School starting to go back probably has a little effect on it too. I know a couple friends whose kids have gotten it at school/daycare.

Gotta be more to it than that since cases in school aged children wouldn't cause hospitalizations to increase.

if i read correctly, the Morton high school nurse died today of Covid today or yesterday

Hurricane effect.

Thinking this is it, at least partially.

If it's a PCR test cranked up to 11, and they test everyone coming in the door, this might be a baseline. They don't seem to publish the CLI ER visit stats.

This is undoubtedly the case....article is behind a paywall, but the assertion is true

You can thank the TABC for that loophole. Either way, I know that bar owners were tired of being shut down when there is a bar across the street serving chicken tenders & quesadillas allowed to operate. Should be interesting seeing the #s. I've got the antibodies, so I'm not worried at all about being out anywhere in public.

Anecdotal story, but found out a coworker of mine was hospitalized for COVID.

Where it's interesting is it wasn't for COVID symptoms directly, but for nausea that caused her to get dehydrated. Once they gave her an IV, she was able to go home.
