Yes it counts against or usage. And we flattened the curve so we wouldn't overwhelm the system. Now we are a little more than halfway past what our peak hospital usage was and even then we weren't in danger of being overrun. Now we have the ability to move people from one hospital to another if that first hospital has a shortage of space.
These facts have no place in the world we are living in today.

Is there any point in the tracking or reporting of the community spread percentage? Just find it odd

To guilt you into staying home and to make sure their precious state run senior care centers aren’t evacuated

To show it’s not running rampant in nursing homes & jails
It’s all the bad people out shopping & dining & not staying home that’s spreading it

I think it’s a useful statistic, but
agree and think it’s over-shared for the wrong reasons.

They could cut into it. We should find out.

I'm betting we will find the same that they've found in Texas.

AC is vital but also probably causing the rapid spread in the south.

While I think masks SHOULD help in theory, and are a reasonable request, hasn't a mask mandate been in effect in California for awhile, and their numbers are rising and going back to Phase 1?

Who was it that was doing the rolling averages charts? Interested in seeing one for deaths if someone has that.
8.4% through today 82,042 / 976,454
ETA: Kinda looks like the Bitcoin Chart.

Are you saying that the numbers being produced today change a day or two later to reflect when the test was actually taken and rendered positive?
I'm saying the numbers for a specific date will change as new tests come in. Per their chart, the number of positive tests for the last week were as follows:
7/14: 13
7/13: 218
7/12: 359
7/11: 436
7/10: 1,151
7/09: 1,547
7/08: 1,741
These numbers reflect the date the test was administered, where as the total case change represents when the positive result was known.
IMO, this is more important because the understanding is the average length of the virus is less than 14 days. Also, outside of hospitalization & repeat tests, the State views an individual as "recovered" 14 days after the positive test.
When they run more tests tomorrow, these numbers will certainly increase; especially the 7/14 figures.

Every trend is going to be hard to get an apples-to-apples comparison to the first peak. We’re testing and treating better this time.
That being said there’s enough in the data to say that there are more active cases today than a month ago. But each new case today means less than it did, and carries a better prognosis, than their March counterparts.

Well said.
While I don't like the present trends, some of its was inevitable upon lifting the shutdown. Our medical personnel know more about the virus now and the conditions for treatment have improved considerably.
If we all take little steps to help protect each other we should be able to hold the situation at a manageable level indefinitely.

To cloud it up even more - you can't measure mask wearing

Yep. In the spring, it was a count of people who were in the hospital due to COVID symptoms necessitating hospitalization. Now, nobody is breaking down the numbers, but we know that it includes some number of people who are in the hospital for other reasons but have tested positive under a mandatory testing scheme.
This is exactly correct. Just last week, we had a laboring patient that needed a C-Section for failure to progress. She gets the COVID rapid test before surgery that turns up positive with absolutely no symptoms. We do the section and she’s now recorded as a “hospitalized COVID patient”, even though she’s there to have a baby!! The numbers the state are putting out is total bullshite..

To keep the uninformed and stupid in a panic and to believe that JBE should remain in control over everyone's lives in this state.

Anecdotal. Only happens once. Not widespread. Your world isn’t everyone else’s world. Why are you spreading lies? What your saying never happened.
Did I cover every basis/retort?
