I don't really get how hospitalizations stay exactly the same for 2 weeks, but hey whatever.
My wife went to a new doctor recently to get a second opinion. After competing the preqs and giving info to the nurse, she was ushered into an exam room.
The first two questions the doctor asked her? Not, how are you, or what is your name...
It was:
Where do you live
What do you do for work
She wanted to know how much she could shake my wife down using insurance money. Effing sickening.
I'm not for Medicare for all but something absolutely has to change and it wouldn't break my heart if the money train ended for healthcare. Too many pigs at the trough.

That sounds just wrong. If asked that I might answer with the question of why do you want to know and give vague answers. Not sure what the ramifications would be.

given the oversimplification of what we're being presented - the above abt constant hospitalizations, simple but weird straight trend lines drawn on ER visits and case/death totals - I sure hope the actual county Government folks and WCPSS are using more info than they're putting out. Frankly, it's disappointing that in a relatively advanced county like ours that the presentation isn't more thorough and accurate.
2% of Wake County residents have tested positive since March
1.3% death rate of positive tests since March
hospitalizations ~ 1.4% of cases over the last 30 days
deaths ~ 0.3% of cases last 30 days
consistently below 5% positivity
we'll hit the 20K cases reported today, so be prepared for that NEWS ALERT
Is it weird that the daily numbers come out very late almost every time Cooper has a Covid press conference?
Yes, yes it is. But it's every time so it's expected. He needs the extra time to make up his own graph.
Here is my latest 7 day rolling average of NC dates by date of deaths (not reported date). The last two weeks is NOT included since that data will change the most. This includes both the PCR and antigen positive deaths.
The way the news hypes "new cases" and "reported deaths" drives me crazy cakes! "Cases" based on the PCR test are useless (The more I look into them the more and more meaningless they become to the point of fraud). Add in the fact that they are using reported date as opposed to date the test was taken and it's a miracle my TV has survived.

I'd like to know at what point someone who had a positive COVID test would no longer be a COVID hospitalization.
While ICU is up slightly, it is still hovering around that 300+/- line that it has been at since May.
If I was positive in June, and am now in the hospital in October for ... knee surgery ... am I a COVID hospitalization? What is the cutoff?
But this case wave, does seem to be the rural wave. Wake is seemingly doing well and the hospitals coalitions that mostly serve Wake (CapRAC and MCRHC) don't seem to be doing too bad numbers wise.
I still think there is a solid hospitalization floor based on allotted space.
Hopefully, the rural wave settles soon and the state continues to try and get a handle on congregate facilities where still over 7 months into this, the vast majority of the deaths from C19 are happening.
