Since Sunday, July 26 (just from the numbers posted in OP... don't know if LDH is moving these around like testing date and death date)

hospitalizations have decreased by 143 (whether the person left on their own 2 feet or due to passing away... the point is that bed isn't immediately being refilled with another COVID case)

vent use has increased by 18

What are you looking at? The last 2 days are lowest case days in weeks. Actually a slow constant decline in numbers helps us better to meet these silly phase requirements

Where are all these Covid deaths occurring???

I know people who have had it mild and some who had it bad. But no one near the point of death including some elderly.

The 2 deaths I know of were both dementia patients in a nursing home

You don’t hear about these people that have no family & die alone in nursing homes

Happens all the time, Covid or not

It’s all in the small numbers. You’d have to know probably more than 50 people (maybe way over) who’ve had it before you’d be “expected” to know someone who dies from it - unless you work/have a lot of family in a nursing home.

Problem is, a small percentage of a large number (US population) is still a large number.

Because they are reporting when the death is reported NOT when the death occurred. Some of these are very old.
