14 Deaths and 241 New COVID-19 Cases

nope I didnt say that, I said. "2 are aged 30-49" no the "ITS ONLY OLD PEOPLE" every claims. then I stated that from the report. "11 died with underlying conditions" leaving 3 to have died without having any underlying condition. just making sure the things posted sunk in. its not only old people and people with underlying conditions that this can affect. please, wear a mask.

So you're assuming the 30-49 yr olds didn't have underlying conditions? Not the 70+ (95?)

Sorry for the repetition; I see that "underlying conditions" was discussed earlier in the thread. I can't get mine to start at anything but "most recent comments".

"gave in"? You (and I, too) were very lucky to get an appointment and receive the shot. So many, including those over 75, have not (yet, hopefully, "yet") been able to get an appointment. There's talk of March, April and even June. However, there are appointments available in Santa Maria, I found.

What qualifies as an "underlying condition"; does anyone know?

Gave in and took the Pfizer’s vaccine yesterday morning @ GVCH. .Absolutely no side effects whatsoever so far . The GVCH drive through was amazing ! Thanks to all.

Thanks. I believe I understand how you're teasing out the deaths, but it seems like too much trouble to keep going over the past weeks to check for daily updates. Plus with the errors that you and I have encountered in some of these numbers, I have enough of a headache keeping the records straight. Reported date seems good enough to an approximation for the purposes of mortality rate, which is what I've been focusing on.

I've been taking screen shots ('cause I have too much paper on my desk already) of the daily death counts by week. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/030e625c69a04378b2756de161f82ef6 I don't know if the link will work, but it's on the case page, and go to the tab 'Weekly Deaths". You'll see the numbers change day to day regarding the weekly total. Some will be added on weeks earlier, some last week.

like those that post under an anonymous handle on a comment board that is already anonymous?

Just another example of why you shouldn't rely on random internet amateurs to get data on the pandemic.

Yes, quite true and thank you for pointing that out. I should have written "63 new reported deaths" to make that distinction. I've never delved deeper into the deaths other than the reported cases, so how are you getting the breakdown on when they actually died? I looked at the Dashboard but I may just be tired because I'm not really seeing those numbers. Thanks.

LETMEGO, so you're pointing out that these people caught COVID while the SoCal region was under Gavin's lockdown, and I don't disagree. His lockdown didn't work. These poor individuals subsequently died towards the end of the lockdown or shortly after it was lifted. The point is that despite Gavin sounding the all clear, we are see a record number of deaths in a short time period, a clear indication of his complete failure at managing this crisis. A slow rollout of vaccines, which could have saved these poor people, and an apparent uninterest in implementing serious oversight on our nursing homes, when we know those are the most vulnerable people.

Chem has never pushed a political agenda here and Gavin's completely failure in leadership through this pandemic is irrefutable regardless of your political affiliation.

The lag between onset of COVID symptoms and death is 2 to 8 weeks, typically. Many of these deaths are likely from the Christmas spike.

You're deliberately ignoring the lag time between infection and death to suit your political agenda. Paltering is so juvenile.

Go to Google Scholar. Enter : Underlying health conditions Covid 19. That should take to most if not all published studies regarding that topic. Interesting reading and not at all what the media is reporting.

Loose cannon, I don’t see what’s arrogant and condescending. They give numbers, and keep exhorting us to follow the safety guidelines. What would you prefer to see?

I believe they are listed on CDC.gov website. But, it really encompasses lots of things. I have migraine headaches and it would be an unlying condition

I did a search on “underlying conditions for covid,” and went to the CDC page recommended, “People with certain medical conditions.” There are a lot of them, and it’s not an exhaustive list. I don’t know what list our county public health follows, but I bet it’s not cut and dried.

The Freudian slip says it all. The messaging from the public health authorities has been arrogant and condescending from day one.
