“The number of hospital patients with COVID-19 in Sacramento County jumped nearly 50% in one week, reaching its highest level in five months, as the gradual increase in spread of the virus has yet to wane in California,” The Sacramento Bee breathlessly reported.
Oh holy @#$! We’re all going to die… (eventually).
Wait. How many COVID patients are we talking about in Sacramento County? Am I reading this correctly – 89 total? Sacramento County has 1.5 million total population.
Last year at this time, there were 168 “positive patients” in Sacramento County, and 25 in the ICU, according to the California Department of Public Health. I don’t recall any headlines last year like this one from the Bee today:
Sacramento County’s COVID-19 hospital patient total jumps 48% in a week as uptick continues
“There were 1,722 total hospital patients with COVID-19 in California as of Sept. 2, according to the most recent state data. That’s the same number of patients statewide as one week earlier, according to a weekly update Friday from the California Department of Public Health.”
1,722 total hospital patients with COVID out of 40 million people in California? Even with more people dying from Heart Disease and Cancer, it’s telling that public health officials are trying to increase fear in COVID again. The entire country can’t be locked down for heart disease or cancer, but they succeeded with COVID once already.
The CDC reports:
In 2022, approximately 3,273,705 deaths† occurred in the United States. The estimated 2022 age-adjusted death rate decreased by 5.3%, from 879.7 per 100,000 persons in 2021 to 832.8. COVID-19 was reported as the underlying cause or a contributing cause in an estimated 244,986 (7.5%) of those deaths (61.3 deaths per 100,000).
During 2022, the three leading causes of death were heart disease (699,659 deaths), cancer (607,790), and unintentional injury (218,064).
According to the CDC, “COVID-19 was the underlying cause for 5.7% of all deaths in 2022, decreasing from 12.0% (416,893 deaths) in 2021. Heart disease and cancer deaths increased in 2022 compared with 2021 (accounting for 695,547 and 605,213, deaths respectively), while deaths associated with COVID-19 decreased.”
Locally, Esparto High School in Yolo County cancelled a football game Friday night because 6 players tested positive for COVID-19 — and 7 players were out with injuries. I assume the players are required to test for COVID? The school district said the game cancellation was necessary because the players could pass COVID to the other team.
I’m willing to bet the players weren’t sick – they just tested positive.
Here are all of Yolo County’s COVID stats: 3 COVID positive patients and 1 in the ICU – out of 222,000 total population.
Oh – Sacramento County still hasn’t updated its COVID dashboard since February 2023 – they must really be concerned about it:
Do we know if hospitals are still getting more money for Covid treatment? We do know that many of the Covid deaths during the pandemic were tacked on to other causes of death for financial (greed) reasons.
Is it still going on? Co morbidity information can change ALL the numbers.
What are the common flu and cold numbers?
Public health numbers have become political, like our politicians, they can NOT be trusted.
What are the numbers for young healthy individuals who have been vaccinated and have since developed alements of heart and/or lung or other alements, or just dropped dead! They don’t report vaccine related injury and do report all these as Covid related.
I don’t lot believe anything coming from the CDC or the MSM. Propaganda mills, both.
Are they illegals or Californians?
