Keeping people informed is a good thing, however, being clear on what is being reported is better.
Are all these death from the virus or the death in the county? And if they are from the virus should you not state that they are Covid-19 death, and how old are those who have died?
I've been forwarding Goat Rock Uke's posts to the internal email list Burbank Heights and Orchard's in Sebastopol for months. If any of the low-income and at-risk seniors living here had a problem understanding the valuable service Uke is doing, I think I would've heard about it. Try reading it again, note the links, follow them, and perhaps you'll see. New to the county?

It seems pretty obvious to me that since the topic of GR Uke's posts is clearly the coronavirus, then all the info contained therein would also pertain to the coronavirus, unless otherwise stated.

I speed-scroll by and pay no attention to the covid post which in my mind, basically serves the purpose of keeping people focused on it. Others without my experience of seeing people with covid rapidly get better with oxidation treatment stay fearful, and confused. I actually find the posting of it, first thing on this site, straight out of 1984, like how industrial medical facilities are taking all their 'extra precautions' before you can go through their hallowed doors.

To paraphrase, then, I hope accurately: Covid is being over-hyped and over-politicized. You're not saying it's not a real disease threat, just that it's not all that big a one. That the medical establishment is over-complicating it and should move to oxidation treatment, and then it would be just one of many public health threats, certainly not worth singling out as a major social issue or using extreme measures to combat.
I hope that's a fair restatement. Your description of the motivations of the politicians and doctors is kind of secondary.
Well, I hope you're right. Seems unlikely to me, it requires there to be a few hundred thousand people dying needlessly because the doctors are stubbornly refusing to open their eyes, but maybe someday the doctors will. I guess it's those anecdotal testimonies of health-care professionals who are fearful for themselves and say they're seeing unprecedented suffering and deaths that weigh too strongly in my eyes, because as I'd be the first to say, anecdotes aren't evidence.
I cannot believe the media any more; death happens and there are too many profiteers involved. The epidemiology shows death from secondary bacterial infection, not the virus itself; speaking with a mask on increases the bacteria present on the inside of your mask by the way, and there are a number of other predisposing factors.

All I have been doing is passing on the information Sonoma County posts on their website in a form that's a bit easier to quickly evaluate. Graphs and charts interest me, especially when it directly effects my life. To my knowledge Sonoma County does not release exact information about each persons medical history or preexisting conditions, but they might somewhere. To be clear I am not attributing deaths to covid. Sonoma County Health Department or more likely the MD who signs the death certificate does that. I don't post this info to scare people. It's my belief information can help make good decisions. Make of it what you will.

That is fairly correct regarding my take on this fear-mongered virus, however, regarding the "Secondary motivations of politicians and doctors" only partially correct.
>>Well, I hope you're right. Seems unlikely to me, i<>
doubt is a healthy thing, and in this case, especially if you are not an older medical practitioner who seeks the "big" picture of health, illness, relationships.
<>. It requires there to be a few hundred thousand people dying needlessly <>
.
Yes, and there are class action suits some are initiating charging "crimes against humanity" but apparently not in this country, or if so, I have not heard of it.
<> because the doctors are stubbornly refusing to open their eyes,<>
this i disagree; so many doctors are young, have come out of college long after the profiteers took over the system and never awakened from their "focus on the part and fix it" mentality (I know that brainwash, because it happened to me way back in the 1970's - but I shed it). It's a mixed bag because this mentality does want to eliminate suffering, but only by using pills and surgeries instead of looking for root causes. I view these young practitioners as innocent pawns in the system; largely kept comfortable and unquestioning, as much as a victim of the profiteers as any of us, many trapped in horrendous student debt and restrictive legal contracts (like Kaiser has for doctors). The older practitioners that still work in the system I cannot speak for, this older practitioner left the profiteering system soon after it was completely sold in the Regan era, for a system that "makes a living (or tries to), not a killing" financially.
<> but maybe someday the doctors will. <>
Many doctors do have their "eyes open" as you put it, but are censored by the media, often not before I see it though because I have internet connections to international practitioners. What I have posted, first hand experiences, reports and stats from abroad, are down within 24 hours from FB.
<>. I guess it's those anecdotal testimonies of health-care professionals who are fearful for themselves and say they're seeing unprecedented suffering and deaths that weigh too strongly in my eyes, because as I'd be the first to say, anecdotes aren't evidence.<>
I understand....those sad tales from the ignorant but innocent "health care professionals" in alignment with the system are what are making it onto the media; they elicit great emotion from the population and
are literally tragic, all the unnecessary fear and loss makes me sad to even think about..... What is NOT making it into the news are the successfully treated cases, the mild cases, the out-of-the-system treatments that easily succeed. I have seen a number of covid + patients get better with what we do in Santa Rosa, but the office cannot even mention it without being threatened to have the web site shut down; they mentioned it once; mentioning - not even claiming we treat it and were ordered to take it off or else. You are correct in that anecdotes aren't evidence, but what about the decades of empirical science from thousands upon thousands of successful oxidation and UVI treatments from around the world? Actually, I doubt those reports see the light of day here. Of the people we have treated, we had one patient relapse, twice, he ended up in the hospital with his obesity, age and diabetes, but even he did not die. Medical mismanagement killed so many in New York - ventilating instead of oxygenating, all in the name of ? what I wonder? I can only guess; I keep the faith that somehow, things will work out for the good, resulting in the awakening of a new humanity, and by that, I do not mean eugenics.

Sonoma County hospitals avoid autumn surge of coronavirus patients
MARTIN ESPINOZA
November 28, 2020, 4:04PM
As coronavirus infections keep climbing around the state, Sonoma County hospitals are taking steps to ensure they have sufficient drug treatments, staffing and medical supplies to deal with a potential surge of patients sick with the infectious disease over the winter.With the arrival of colder weather and peak flu season, medical professionals are hoping to somehow blunt the highly contagious virus from causing what some fear could be a perfect storm that could overrun local hospitals.
Sonoma County has averted an autumn spike in new COVID-19 cases that has medical centers in Southern California, midwestern, southwestern and southeastern states running out of hospital beds. However, local public health officials and physicians warned that throughout the pandemic, the county’s coronavirus trends have lagged the rest of the state and country by more than a month.
“We’re really preparing for four weeks out to see what happens around Christmastime,” said Dr. Chad Krilich, chief medical officer at Providence St. Joseph Health, which runs the county’s largest medical center Santa Rosa Memorial and Petaluma Valley Hospital. By the end of December, St. Joseph Health will add Healdsburg District Hospital, after an affiliate buys it.
County hospitals are now familiar with the drill of preparing for a surge of COVID-19 patients, because they went through it last spring. A big focus then among medical teams and supportive county public health officials was ensuring there were enough beds to treat sick patients.
But Krilich said bed availability is not the key issue in preparation this time around. A bigger priority now, he said, is making sure there are adequate supplies of personal protective equipment, enough staffing, lab testing capacity and coronavirus treatments such as remdesivir, convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibody therapies.
“It’s making sure we have a good supply chain for those things, making sure we have good staffing in place,” the doctor said, noting there are enough beds.
Senior care home indicator
Hospitalizations in Sonoma County related to the virus have remained relatively steady since mid-October, hovering between 20 and 35 patients a day, according to California Department of Public Health data. During that time, local hospitals have treated fewer than 10 COVID-19 patients a day in intensive-care units.
During the past two weeks, hospital admissions of infected area residents have increased from 17 on Nov. 16 to 30 on Nov. 26. That’s still half of the number in the summer, when the local hospitalizations connected with the contagion reached 60 on July 28.
On Friday, at St. Joseph Health’s hospitals there were eight COVID-19 patients being treated at Memorial and three at Petaluma Valley, Krilich said. None of those patients were in intensive care. The county’s other two major hospitals, Sutter Santa Rosa Regional and Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa Medical Center, declined to provide specific tallies of coronavirus patients admitted.
Dr. Sundari Mase, the county’s health officer, confirmed local hospitalization rates of virus patients have increased slightly, but not nearly as much as they have in other parts of California the past few weeks. What’s more, Mase said new local COVID-19 cases recently have remained stable, even as infections have sharply increased in other Bay Area counties.
The local spike in hospitalizations over the summer was largely driven by coronavirus outbreaks in senior care homes, including skilled nursing centers and residential care sites for the elderly. Fortunately, such outbreaks, especially at skilled nursing homes, have significantly declined in recent months.
“Hospitalizations would really be driven up, if we saw more cases in our vulnerable populations, skilled nursing facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly,” said Mase, noting that virus transmission levels at nursing homes has been a better indicator of the hospitalization trend than new daily infections. “It was at the time when we were having outbreaks in those congregate care settings that we had the biggest increases in hospitalizations and ICU admissions.”
Modifying hospital treatment
Meanwhile, at Sutter regional hospital, the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 has been “fairly consistent” the past few months, said Dr. Bill Carroll, the hospital’s chief medical executive. The numbers are much less than they were in the summer, Carroll said.
What has increased, he said, is the volume of people testing positive for the virus when visiting the hospital’s emergency room and other departments.
Since the disease emerged in March, Carroll said Sutter’s medical team has learned how to balance the safe care of patients afflicted by the virus and those being treated for other ailments.
At Kaiser Permanente, hospital officials say they are ready to increase bed and patient capacity by 35%, in the event of a surge of coronavirus patients. The hospital has seen a slight uptick in COVID-19 patients, but is managing their care while simultaneously treating other patients, said Dr. Michael Vollmer, infectious disease specialist and Kaiser’s regional epidemiologist in Northern California.
“As the science regarding COVID-19 care has evolved, we have modified our practices to improve outcomes, which can translate into reduced length of (hospital) stay,” Vollmer said.
Vollmer said these interventions include using high-flow oxygen, giving dexamethasone for patients requiring higher oxygen levels, prescribing remdesivir based on current national guidance and positioning patients face-down when they require mechanical ventilation.
“We also have a COVID-19 monitoring program where patients receive follow-up at home based on their risk level without necessarily requiring hospitalization,” the physician said.
Spread blunted by reopening block
Mase said one of the main reasons for the stable coronavirus situation — in contrast with much of the Bay Area and Southern California — is that Sonoma County never had a chance to reopen riskier parts of the economy like indoor restaurant dining and fitness studios — because since late August it has been stuck in the most restrictive “purple tier” of the state’s four-part community reopening plan.
The state’s reopening regimen for the 58 counties allows further reopening and expansion of commercial and public activities based on success controlling spread of the virus. Each of the four steps is defined by a colored tier describing the degree of transmission: purple for widespread, red for substantial, orange for moderate and yellow for minimal.
To advance from one tier to the next, counties are required to reach set benchmarks for three COVID-19 metrics: the average number of daily cases per 100,000 people; the overall share of tests that detect the virus, known as test positivity; and the test positivity percentage in a low-income neighborhoods.
According to the state’s most recent assessment of coronavirus metrics, Sonoma County had an unadjusted transmission rate of 13.1 daily cases per 100,000 residents. By comparison, neighboring Napa County has an unadjusted case rate of 22.4 daily cases per 100,000 people. (A rate of 7 cases or fewer per 100,000 residents is needed to advance reopening.)
Just a month ago before backsliding, Napa County had advanced two steps to the orange tier, allowing it to expand capacity for indoor dining, religious services, movie theaters and other businesses.
At that time, Sonoma County was the only Bay Area locale left in the bottom, or purple, reopening stage, indicating transmission of the virus is widespread. Many counties had advanced several stages and San Francisco had reached all the way to the least restrictive yellow tier, indicating minimal transmission.
San Francisco and San Mateo counties are set to reenter the purple tier on Sunday, which will leave Marin, in the red tier indicating substantial transmission, as the only Bay Area county not in the purple tier.
“We’re doing pretty good here. There has been a slight increase in cases, but not nearly the kinds of increases that other counties have seen,” Mase said. “Things haven’t really been open like they have in some other Bay Area counties.”
From last Sunday through Friday, the county reported 621 new daily infections, pushing the total COVID-19 cases to 12,049 since March. There were 2,267 active cases as of Friday, while 9,625 people recovered from the virus. Local public health officials reported Wednesday that two more residents died from complications of the coronavirus, boosting the pandemic death toll to 157 — at least 80% of them people 65 or older.
Across California, the seven-day average of daily virus cases has soared since mid-October, from less than 3,000 a day to nearly 14,000 a day. In just two weeks, average daily virus-related deaths statewide have doubled to 74.
Overall, there are more than 1.1 million California residents who contracted the coronavirus and about 19,000 have lost their lives to the viral infection.
An eye on vaccine arrival
At Santa Rosa Memorial, medical staff have an eye on coronavirus vaccines coming down the pike in planning for a winter surge of COVID-19 patients.
In the basement of one of the hospital’s parking garages, in a rather bland storage room, is an ultracold freezer that looks like a large refrigerator. The freezer, which can drop to minus 80 degrees Celsius (minus 112 degree Fahrenheit), is ready to store thousands of vaccine doses.
One type of vaccine made by Pfizer, which must be kept at minus 70 degrees Celsius (minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit), is expected to arrive at the hospital later in December. The hospital should have its vaccine distribution plan set by Dec. 7, Krilich said.
Who gets vaccinated will be prioritized according to federal public health guidelines, with health care workers being the first to receive it, especially medical staff in the hospital’s COVID-19 patient unit.
For the time being, Krilich agreed the pandemic is manageable in Sonoma County. He and other local medical experts say they’ll be ready if things take a turn for the worse.
“You just wake up the next morning and see what’s in front of you,” Krilich said.

For those who may worry about tracing. My neighbor came down with covid. They asked him who he had been in contact with that he may have infected and that was it. Never heard from the County again.

Really frustrating replying to this thread. I love writing about numbers, and yes, the best way to understand our numbers is with comparison to other areas numbers. And numbers are the most real thing we have given the newness of this virus. Yet berry, censor in chief moves posts off to numberless categories. Sweden is an interesting comparison, so is new jersey, even fouchy admits herd immunity can come with case numbers. The real question is fatality rate. Is it .2% with effective treatment? What does it mean that soco`s is currently at .04?
So you're talking about the deaths per total population. I think a couple things factor into our overall fairly low death rate in Sonoma County and the Bay Area in general. Firstly we have done a pretty good job with mitigation so a lower percentage of residents have been infected to date. Of those who have been diagnosed the death rate is roughly 1 percent. Second most infections have been in younger people in the hispanic community. Very few of these younger people die from covid. There was an article about this in the Press Democrat a few days ago. It talked about how most of the infection has been younger hispanics but most of the dying has been older caucasians. Still the infection rate in Sonoma Counties older population has been very low so far. Our hospitals have not been overrun so patients have been able to get optimal care. I think too we were lucky San Francisco shut down as early as it did.
It seems to me all the things that have kept our death rate down could go up in smoke if we are not cautious. It feels like we are teetering close to the edge of widespread disaster.

What are you talking about? Barry is not censoring anything. Moving is not censoring. This discussion (or "thread") is about COVID-19 case statistics in Sonoma County and nothing else. It is not about COVID-19 cases in Sweden, Iceland, Guatemala, Antarctica, Chicago, North Carolina, or Timbuktu. It is not about treatment, vaccination, the origin of SARS-CoV-2, or what Trump or his supporters (or enemies) will do between now and January 20. It is not about baseball, football, basketball, soccer, bridge, or chess. It is not about what really happened to the 18 minutes that were expurgated from Nixon's secret White House recordings.
I realize that this is a difficult situation for everyone. None of us has experienced anything like this in our lifetimes. I turned 74 in August, so I have been around longer than most other WaccoBBers.
There is little that any of us can do to change the situation. We can be careful not to catch COVID-19, and we can be careful not to inadvertently infect others with SARS-CoV-2. But even that little bit is too much for some participants here. Some insist that normal precautions to limit spread of the virus are useless, and the same people promote treatments and preventative measures without any known efficacy.
On the other hand, each of us has substantial control over what we feel and think. Each of us can choose to make the best of the situation or to make the worst of it. Abject negativity does not do anyone any good. To the contrary, it harms the negative thinker and it makes it even harder for the rest of us to maintain equanimity. The most productive thing to do with negative feelings or thoughts is to confide in a loved one, a physician, a mental health care provider, or a religious or spiritual advisor. Publishing your negative feelings or thoughts on WaccoBB harms yourself and makes a difficult situation even more difficult for the rest of us.
For an excellent treatment of human happiness and unhappiness and the means of achieving either state of mind, I strongly recommend The Conquest of Happiness, first published by Bertrand Russell in 1930 and since then continuously in print in multiple editions. I recently read it for the third or fourth time.
Finally, participation in WaccoBB is completely voluntary. WaccoBB is Barry. He owns it. He can do with it as he pleases. If he wished, he could delete every word posted that he disagreed with and could banish every participant who disagreed with him about anything. Barry has, instead, chosen to permit almost everyone to say almost anything. If you don't like the way WaccoBB is run, you need not participate.

Example today: Sutter, ICU 96% full, Petaluma valley 91% full, Kaiser 89% full, Sonoma 86% full, Memorial 56% FULL. Roseland is the heaviest impacted area in the county.

I would appreciate more complete information on the cases in Sonoma county; such as, what test was used and how it was used (what counts did they take it to), plus, how many of those cases were asymptomatic or only had cold symptoms, and the demography of the people testing positive. For me, the number of cases is useless without this information.

What nerve you have! Michael has volunteered his time and energy reporting daily case statistics for Sonoma County since April 1. He has earned our thanks for providing this valuable service, and he does not deserve your scorn.
The information content of Sonoma County's case statistics is comparable to the reports by cities, counties, and states throughout the United States, except that Sonoma County has reported daily recovered case numbers, while other localities in the U.S. did not report this important information.
You say you want more information. Fine. Go do the research yourself, instead of telling Michael that everything he has done every day since April 1 is, according to you, "useless."
You should be ashamed of yourself. And you should apologize to Michael.

Pamela, my dear, here you have, in bruce's own words, the problem, or a major part of it: "You scare me".
He, who calls you "pseudo intelligent", signs off with a jaunty Continental "Ciao" - but neither he nor the parentally-finger-wagging-you-should be-ashamed-Steve, Esquire, have any need for the finesse of the actual accuracy of tests or real numbers of cases or examining coroners discernments of cause of death
These diatribes are almost amusing, though they are so very toxic that they become poignant; their level of fear is clearly expressed in vitriol. You had already sensed that attempting to communicate with closed minds is futile at best, a waste of time and energy. Some of us both (attempt to) understand the subtleties of virology and the healing arts and appreciate crucial fine points of diagnosis, prognosis, various benign means of preventing and treating illness. Only some.
Most people are simply ready to listen to and follow only the official narrative ... to get the 'jab' every 2 months, to stay locked in for the next 2 years or whatever the current decree. Waking up to one's sovereignty happens in its own time, sometimes not in this lifetime...
Some of us deeply value your informed reports from decades of working healing, not strictured by or beholden to the AMA/CDC/etc. establishment which always values profits over health.
All blessings to you, and through you to the fortunate patients who are in your capable hands.

I didn't take Pamela's post negatively. More information is good. Some of the info is on the counties website some isn't There is info about underlying conditions by age here https://experience.arcgis.com/experi.../page/page_28/ It's interesting than people age 55 to 75 have more underlying conditions than 75 and up. Could be just small sample size. Could be you are usually in pretty good shape to make it past 75.
If you go to the County Reporting page https://socoemergency.org/emergency/...irus-cases/and scroll down you can see Cases by Symptom Group and Age Group. It looks like if you average all age groups around 18% of those tested in Sonoma County were asymptomatic. However if you have no symptoms you are far less likely to go get a test. I would be surprised if asymptomatic wasn't very close to the national average of around 45%. In other words if you tested an average group at random, those with symptoms and those with none around 45% of the positives would have no symptoms.
Interestingly the very young and very old seem most often to have no symptoms in The County numbers. On the old end it's likely they are testing large swaths in senior facilities and therefor coming up with more asymptomatic cases. Could be they are testing a lost of younger kids as well? I have read younger kids tend to be asymptomatic more often.
I have no idea what tests are being used. There was an article a day or two ago about the County switching labs due to some problem.
Whereas those specifics are not all available from Sonoma County, you could go to the CDC website and likely find that information. Every county will be different depending on who is getting infected but outcomes should be fairly consistent based on underlying health throughout the USA. The best way to understand the severity of the disease is to look at large samples as in entire states or countries with standardized reporting methods.
Don't trust CDC? Go to WHO and look at their figures Or Canada or England. If you don't believe any of it there is no reason to look at any numbers in the first place.
Most first world countries report the rate of disease severe enough to require hospitalization of around 10% in those who have been tested . It's a little under that in England now. You need to also figure in the 45% who have no symptoms most of whom don't get tested. So say around 6 to 7% who get covid get sick enough to require hospitalization.
Some have asserted testing is producing huge numbers of false positives and Covid-19 is not that serious. Overflowing hospitals in Southern California tends to disprove that notion for me. Also huge numbers of false positives would mean Covid-19 is more serious to the percentage of those false positives because we know how many are hospitalized and how many die.

PD: Only one state doing worse than CA in rolling out the vaccine
I would never tell anyone to get or not get a vaccine, except My Sister who is 78 with high blood pressure and has substantial medical skepticism. She had a chance to get vaccinated yesterday in St Helena. I told her to get the damn shot. She did and is very happy about it.
My prayer is everyone on this forum stays healthy and even perhaps gets some positives from this first widespread pandemic of our life times. I'll miss all posters and even the conspiracies. It's all good.

Oh, the statistics made me feel less anxious about Covid very locally here in Sebastopol where I live and more aware of how it's affecting different areas and populations of our county. I assumed it was likely worse in places where people live closer together and work in more difficult conditions--like parts of Santa Rosa--than we do here in West County and your numbers bear that out. And I feel empathy for these folks and will continue to do what I can to make their lives better. So--thank you. Lilith
