Covid-19 in OKC (coronavirus)

[Pete]

old people like Pete's age

Thanks!


Yesterday, there were more than 80,000 new cases in the U.S. and almost 500 in Oklahoma.

This thing is a very long way from being over, even though most people are acting like it is.

Yes Pete, and it crazy, scary when with 80K new cases, we are third in the world in case count. India has a huge problem with over 130K and Brazil with 89K. Even Turkey has 55K. I hope I am wrong, but I am thinking that in the coming weeks Oklahoma will see our case count rising again. I hope not. Mich. has had 300 + break through cases with 3 deaths. I hope this is an error in reporting.

[Bill Robertson]

Michigan is an odd case right now. But there is this:

"Lynn Sutfin, a spokeswoman for the state health department, said those individuals had a positive test 14 or more days after the last dose in the vaccine series, but some may ultimately be excluded because of a prior infection where they still tested positive after being vaccinated."

And 246 out of almost 2mil vaccinated is .01 percent. Not what we want to see but no vaccine is 100%.This is why precautions will still have to be taken after being vaccinated. I know I'm going to until this virus is toast.

old people like Pete's age and older

Ouch! I'm part of that group too.

[Pete]

FYI, I just turned 60 and I did the full Ironman triathlon (Google it) 3x starting when I was 48.

Very far from old!

Way to go Pete!!!

I raced road bikes for many years and I'd never consider a triathlon. I always said if God wanted me to run he wouldn't let me afford bikes.

Impressive at any age!! Even a 1/2 Tri is a feat!

[Pete]

416 new cases today; 7-day rolling average 522 (skewed due to a recent catch-up amount).

10 additional reported deaths; 7-day rolling average 14.4

Hospitalizations are 196 (-8).

ICU is 49 (-4).

Using the term "older people" rather than "old people" would have been nicer.

It's been two weeks since shot number two so I'm officially able to get in to see mom. My sister made a weekly appointment on Sundays when she became eligible so I'm going to meet her there this Sunday. She says mom has no idea of anything going on. A sort of "lights are on but there's no one home". At least I can do my duty and see mom.

This is all expected and not bad news at all. "Breakthrough cases" were expected and the vaccines still make COVID cases mild so that hospitalizations and deaths are near zero for those vaccinated.

I’m hearing numbers today are going to significantly lower than lately.

[DowntownMan]

204 new cases today. That’s a good sign. The weekend delay in reporting had me a little confused thinking this was three days worth of reporting but it is just the prior day.

Still that is low and hope it stays low.

[Pete]

968 new cases for the 3-day period; this is the highest in over a month. 7-day rolling average 536, also the highest in a month.

31 additional reported deaths for the 3-day period; 7-day rolling average 14.7.

As of Friday, hospitalizations were 192 (-4).

Also Friday, ICU was 48 (-1).

The poop doesn't lie people! Almost a week ago, there were indicators in our waste that suggests a pending rise in cases. Curious to see if this is the start of that rise...

Of course, with the issues in how we changed reporting again, it may be too difficult to determine.

It’s not rising. It’s going down Or hovering at same it just fluctuates. 900 was over three days. Friday to Sunday.
There is a slight increase to the 7 day average which is 323 excluding the large corrected case dump.

Still I wouldn’t consider this to be cases rising yet. Definitely doesn’t follow the spike the poop suggested as you are stating.

[Pete]

Just go out any evening and you'll see clubs, bars and restaurants completely overflowing.

This is all so predictable.

[Bill Robertson]

Let's not make today's numbers worse than they are.
1. The 7 day average still has the 1300 added cases that are months old.
2. The 7 day average if you subtract 1300 from last Wednesday is 350.
3. The average since April 1 if you subtract 1300 from last Wednesday is 343.
4. Last Wed, Thur and Fri were 464, 483 and 416.
5. Average of last three days is 323. Lower than any of those numbers.

They have been for some time. Also why I'm in no hurry to go out yet.

The last 4 Mondays that included Sat, Sun, and Mon have been:

4/13: 968
4/5: 873
3/29: 882
3/22: 959

Not sure what you mean. Because everything is placed and opened and have been for a long time. Majority of the state hasn’t stayed home in a long time. Cases aren’t spiking. They are ally are just holding steady so to me it seems the bars and restaurants being packed has no/minimal effect so not sure what you mean by predictable.

Non hepa filters rated MERV-13 can catch most viruses, but are more expensive.

2. The 7 day average if you subtract 1300 from last Wednesday is 350.

4. Last Wed, Thur and Fri were 464, 483 and 416.
5. Average of last three days is 323. Lower than any of those numbers.

If you subtract everyone who is getting sick, the average is 0.
Trends are starting to rise in the country and this is despite the lack of sickness from the millions who have actually taken the shots. Those that didn't must be spiking big time.

Cases are going up.

And every single restaurant and bar owner is reporting record business during the last month.

Those two things are completely related.

The cases to hospitalization correlation will be down though with the elderly mostly vaccinated at this point.

[Bill Robertson]

I posted the math. By the numbers cases are not rising in Oklahoma. At least not now and hopefully not again. Maybe they will. In the US yes they are. Mainly driven by a few states that are having exponential growth like everyone had last year.
