Lack of meaningful Covid stats
Posted on 4/1/20 at 5:51 pm

is frustrating. Here in AL we get total of confirmed cases statewide and by county. Nothing on recoveries, hospitalizations or vent use. I hear that the number of Covid admissions at UAB has declined and stabilized, with discharges offsetting Covid admissions. With all the screaming about medical capacity and vent shortages, it would be helpful to know what the situation is. And if the number recovering is close to or equal to new confirmations, that tells me we are in a pretty good place. Our leaders must have this info. If they are going to ask us to remain shut down, they should share it with us. And of course, the media is doing nothing.

Meaningful stats and the sky-screaming by the news wouldn't jive with one another?

The only truly meaningful stat would be how many people have actually already caught this crud and are over it. An antibody test , anything else is just Afterthought.

You aren’t going to get recovery numbers for a long time.
Just have to accept it

I love it when the thin privileged think we should open their gyms and juice bars back up because they know it won’t be bad for them. People of size are dying by the thousands and all you people are worried about is your 6 pack

I can't believe that the state of Alabama itself is not publishing recoveries, hospitalizations and vent use.
Most other states are. In NY, state and city officials have been updating these numbers daily for 2 weeks.
Seems Alabama not publishing them just adds to the sense of unease since most people will assume that they'd certainly put them out if they were good news.

All the numbers you could want from Johns Hopkins
Zoom in on the map for state and local info.
I don't think anyone has the numbers on down to the hospital level.

I agree. We have to piece together what may happen to be said by multipe sources, and that doesn't really help. They have models from other states they could follow, but for whatever reason they choose not to.

Do the recoveries make you feel better about the deaths?

The authorities only want doom and gloom reported until the last person either recovers or dies. Until a vaccine is approved, the all clear date will keep getting pushed back a little at a time. You can only boil a frog by placing it in cool water and increasing the heat slowly. If the mandate a month ago was that we will be locked down for 6-12 months, grocery shelves would still be empty. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and the human race will survive and learn things that will be applied in the future. Stay safe, brothers and sisters.

Well, we know how many people have tested positive. We are told how many died, but we don't really know how that is determined. For example, are people who died and had the virus but the virus may not have been the real reason for their death included in that number? We certainly do not know how many people have had the virus and recovered, mainly because we don't test people unless they have significant symptoms. I would like to hear of an antibody test in general use. Seems to me it would be good to know how many people had it and got over it in terms of this stay at home situation. I would think that such a test would be useful in letting those people go back to work.
