Looks almost as if.....it runs through a society, peaks and levels off, then drops.

Kinda like how early on N.O. and to lesser extent BR get hit. Now other parts of the state worse off.

if you use that site to toggle for "rates for 100,00 population" it is remarkable how maricopa county looks in comparison to other, smaller counties. we have the most total cases because 5 million people live in this county. but rates for 100,000 population is less than half of santa cruz county's totals. yuma county is pretty bad too. and of course navajo and apache counties on the reservation.

i know imperial county, CA is pretty hard hit right now and i doubt it has to do with kids going to bars (is there even anything to do in el centro?) i know the borders are "closed" but there is still a lot of cross-border traffic, mostly migrant workers and people with dual citizenship who live/work in both countries.

Is that 117 Covid hospitalizations in the entire state of Arizona?

A couple of issues with the 7 day average spreadsheet:

1. The net disregards the 400+ per day average that is being discharged, and

2. Fails to take into account deaths.

So, in reality there are approx. 450+ per day being newly hospitalized.

Check the other tabs under the the Hospital Metrics tabs and you will see that ICU covid admits and patients on vents are rising. Also see the daily intubation tab, only 66 (iirc) for yesterday, but over 100 for most of the recent past.

Net number of hospitalizations is a worthless metric for trying to get a picture of what is actually happening. This is one of my biggest grips with LDH reporting.


ETA: Arizona by far has the most transparent reporting of any of the States websites and provides by far the most information.

Interesting that Phoenix and other major AZ cities started a mask mandate 3.5 weeks ago. Makes ya think, doesn't it?

It is almost like humans have lived with overcoming diseases for tens of thousands of years!
