Yep and if my math is correct, there were 710 tests done yesterday, so that's a 12% positive rate. Obviously just one day, but not a good day.
6 more were hospitalized. I do not know if any were released, however I'd assume some were.
I would assume that will go up as cases generally do.
Wasn't the USA at just 2% deaths/confirmed cases last week? It's gone up to 2.5% reported as of now. I think most states are starting to climb in that % albeit slowly.
Good news is the 'recovered' number has been at just a little under double of deaths...hopefully there's a widening gap there too....although I'm not sure if they can be all that accurate with recoveries. I'd bet there's people they told to self isolate with mild symptoms/positive tests that don't get reported as recovered if the communication stops?
Somebody has bad math somewhere In Idph saying 85 and 699 but 85 plus 624 is 709
Looked like a lot of cases today were elderly folks, which unfortunately is not good.
Are today's results from yesterday's tests though? From what I understand the results rate has been slow. Maybe they've improved that.
Linn County with another 14 cases.. I'm hopeful it's not a continued spread in one of the nursing homes.
That's very true. So maybe disregard what I said.. Is it then virtually impossible to look at percentage rate on a daily basis then?
If that's the case, we had 58 released today, so we have 6 less patients hospitalized then I believe.
Edit. Nevermind. I now see the caveat about it not including all hospitalization data.
Their numbers don’t add up. Never have since day one. There are about a fourth that are just lost.
Wouldn't the people who are still sick but at home not fit into either category since they still may be hospitalized?
