Sonoma County Covid-19 The Numbers

[Goat Rock Ukulele]

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.

All The Best , Michael F Smith

I'll miss your posts of the statistics here in Sonoma County, GRU. And thank you . Lilith

[pamelaL]

I'm curious, Lilith, what did the statistics help you feel or understand?

[Bonnie288]

You’re an angel, GRU. Thank you for all your efforts on our behalf.

[caspar]

Thank you Michael for the daily statistics. I'll miss your posts for our local Sonoma County,

[Lilith Rogers]

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
