Covid-19 numbers game

Postby Don Schmitz » Thu Jul 30, 2020 3:20 pm

From my previous post (on 7/17) re: Ohio COVID-19 numbers:
From 4/8/20 to 5/7/20 (29 days),
121,719 tests (4197 tests/day average)
16,983 positive (13.95% positive)

From 5/7/20 to 5/22/20 (15 days),
122.025 tests (8135 tests/day average)
8663 positive (7.10% positive)

From 7/9/20 to 7/17/20 (8 days),
200,114 tests (25.111 tests/day average)
10,889 positive (5.44% positive)


NEWER DATA (from posts on this forum):
From 7/24/20 to 7/30/20 (6 days),
178,517 tests (29,752 tests/day average)
7880 positive (4.41% positive)


Conclusion:
The average number of tests per day is higher and the percent testing positive is lower than they've ever been.
This way of looking at the numbers is more meaningful than just posting the total numbers of tests, cases, and new cases.
It looks to me like Ohio is going in the right direction. (Granted, we still have room for improvement.)

From 7/30/20 to 8/11:
257,609 tests (21,467 tests/day average)
13,200 positive (5.12% positive)

Fewer tests/day (on average) but slightly higher percent positive compared to my last post.

I repeat: This way of looking at the numbers is more meaningful than just posting the total numbers of tests, cases, and new cases.

Numbers, numbers, numbers!!!

Fuck numbers!

When we all truly accept what the numbers represents ... HUMAN LIVES ... only then will this pandemic be taken seriously.

.

The fewer tests was confirmed in a conversation I had recently with someone who works with the testing program of one of the area's three big health systems.

I'd like to see more local test sites offering tests at low or no cost, especially in Lakewood, and more transparency about the rapid results tests when offered.

So, on our walk today, we passed a local diner, which I will not name here, but is very popular with Lakewoodites. We were shocked to see every booth was full, each stool at the counter, no social distancing whatsoever. The staff was wearing masks, and there was a line outside to get in. Aren't the bars and restaurants in Lakewood supposed to be a half capacity or enforcing social distancing? People with their backs against the backs of those in the booths behind them (with no plexiglass) is beyond careless and greedy. I was disappointed to see this in Lakewood. And apparently, their customers don't care. We will NEVER get rid of COVID this way.
