There's another graph of hospitalizations or ICU admits, can't remember which one and that had shown a pretty steady gradual increase

Id like to see a breakdown of ICU cases, imagine it's mostly elderly?
Quote:
We showed that in March 2020, 16,201 adult members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California were tested for the novel coronavirus; 1,299 (8%) tested positive. We found that 377 (29.0%) of the patients who tested positive needed to be hospitalized. Of these, 113 (8.7%) were treated in the ICU. Most patients treated in the ICU received mechanical ventilation. Additionally, we found that patients of all ages needed to be hospitalized for this disease, including those with few underlying health problems. Of the 377 hospitalized patients, the proportion who were age 59 or younger was similar to the proportion of adults age 60 or older. This means that public interventions to target the entire public not just older adults are needed.

TMC is back to yellow today, if you average out the last 4 days of cases it's pretty flat for where we have been
The TMC charts appear to lag a day similar to the state DSHS data. The local news websites yield something of an advanced look if you account for the one day offset.BiochemAg97 said:
The caseload growth trajectory appears based on two high days this week. Worth keeping an eye on to see if it drops down again over the next few days.
The numbers were always going to increase some with opening up, but we're where we were 2 weeks ago in Dallas, here are the Mayors tweets, it doesn't address how many are specific for Covid, but the county does (below).TxAG#2011 said:
There's some discrepancy on this. The county keeps adding new beds so the ICU occupied % remains relatively stable; however, the total number of ICU beds in use is now the highest it's ever been.

Data compiled from hospital systems in the Texas Medical Center reveals an increase in the percentage of Intensive Care admissions of coronavirus patients.
At 16 percent, the data rises to the level of "moderate concern" in the TMC's ICU bed capacity model, as of Thursday, June 4. The current ICU occupancy threshold has been exceeded by the occurrence of a positive 7-day average growth in coronavirus cases, triggering a 2.4 percent growth in ICU occupancy trend.
According to Houston Methodist's ICU director, Dr. Faisal Masud, there's been a steady climb in COVID-19 patients who have recently been admitted at the hospital.

Masud emphasized that the while the the number of patients have steadily increased, there's not a considerable spike.
"We're not seeing the number doubling," Masud said. "We have seen several patients being admitted, but there's no spike. Yet, the cases have not been going down actively."
Memorial Hermann spokesperson Natasha Barrett said that the number of patients admitted at the hospital has also climbed, but the ICU is not at capacity.

We are 3 months into this and you haven't learned that cases don't matter? Should have never been tracking those. Only deaths and hospitalizations.

Yeah. I think % positive of those tested is a better indicator than # of infections.

Think they later updated the 2 week number to 5 weeks For ICU's issue in Houston. Still not a good trend.
Texas flattening the curve is no more. See Hospitalizations below.
Yes for the State of Texas, I'll label it.PJYoung said:Dazed and Confused said:

Is that for the state of Texas?
