This tells you the numbers of people who were actually tested, with a shortage of test kits.
No doubt, many more are infected, but not tested.
Assume many are infected, and stay home.

The daily report is now adding a lot of other statistical data to the report. Our positive count is now doubling every 8 days. They're reporting # of tests by location (pretty darn low). Where the hot spots are and more. And, they've evidently opened parks in a limited manner.

The bigger picture: county deaths over a 1-week period were 25 to 55, 55 to 77, and now 77 to 93, so rate has decreased over the last 2 weeks. Last virus death in the high desert was 8 days ago. Daily Press reports that, of all patients on ventilators currently in county hospitals, 20% are because of Covid. https://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20200430/coronavirus-cases-top-2000-in-san-bernardino-county-as-number-of-deaths-approaches-100
-
Cheapskate - Yes. But the County stats also show the doubling time for positives slowing slightly. That is marginally good news to me. It seems that the virus is just now moving into rural areas here and across the country.
I don't see significant testing taking place. As of yesterday, out of a population of 2 million in SB County - there have been 19,964 tests. Of those, 10.5% were positive.
Breakdown for Tri-Community:
Wrightwood - 1 positive, 22 tests
Phelan - 9 positives, 79 tests
Pinon Hills - 3 positives, 22 tests
There have been no deaths in the Tri-Community due to the virus.
-
When not at home we keep distance and wear masks, and businesses are wiping stuff down manically. Those measures probably reduce transmission somewhere between 90 and 99%. At yesterday's press briefing LA county's public health director Dr. Christine Ghaly said as long as these measures are in place there is no reason (her opinion) to expand testing to the asymptomatic general public.
So I'm not worried about the number of tests, provided 1) those who feel sick and are fearful can get tested and 2) the obvious hotspots like nursing homes and assisted living are monitored aggressively. Talking to your doctor (or making an appointment at a county test site) takes car of "1", and "2" better be getting done because that county health's entire job these days.
-
Cheapskate - Yes. But, SB County's next test site is limiting testing to those over 65; health care workers, and emergency only. Dr. Ghaly's recommendation you cite in your preceding does fly in the face of everything I've been hearing and reading about measuring community spread. Do you recall her reasoning?
-
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I believe appointments at county sites are also available to anyone with at least one symptom (in addition to over 65, health care, and emergency). Dr. Ghaly starts explaining at the 22:30 mark of the attached video and takes several questions later, starting at 31:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDpSEZqYbAA

The County notice I saw the other day did not state those displaying one symptom could be tested. But, I could be wrong as well.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
-
From today's report:
County Public Health is also conducting testing at select nursing facilities for at-risk seniors living at those facilities. At all testing locations, people age 65 and older as well as healthcare or public safety workers can get tested even if they are not experiencing any symptoms. This is in addition to residents who are experiencing at least one COVID-19 symptom (fever, cough, or shortness of breath).

Looks like Phelan might be higher. I wonder if there might have been a correction.
Any idea why Pinon Hills used to say 3 cases, and for the past few days it says 0 cases?
-
I'm actually tracking with a spreadsheet on a daily basis so I can see community changes. Pinon Hills started at 1 on April 19 and Phelan had 2.
April 28, Pinon Hills was at 3 cases and by that time Phelan had 7.
April 30, Pinon Hills had 3 and Phelan had 9.
May 2, all the Pinon Hills cases are gone and Phelan still has 9.
So just kind of curious.

I KNOW that Wrightwood has more than 1 case!
Apparently, it's not getting reported.
Friends have tested positive.
-
:o How long ago did they get their results?
Maybe they're in the "undetermined" category for the city demographics?
-
-
If you happen to live on Cardinal, I suppose you go into LA's statistics. If you live here but test frequently at work because you're employed at a nursing home or jail, which community do the count you in if you test positive? Keeping these stats must involve lots of imperfect decisions.

When info from consecutive days are shown, the "number tested" always seems to go up by about 1200. I wonder how much of this are the same people being tested, over and over, to prove that they're OK to go their jobs in nursing homes, law enforcement, etc. I'm starting to think that very few of the tests are ordinary folks getting one because they feel sick.

I met a local at the Post Office whose entire family has had Covid. The statistics do not tell it all.
-
I'm am curious, does anyone know why that would be? Can you get a test nowadays in your primary care's office? (and do they simply not report it to the county?) Or is local data just flat-out being ignored/falsified by the health dept.?
-
I wish we knew. There was a local recently who posted their positive results on FB. They were tested at Kaiser, and the data for Wrightwood cases never changed, so I thought maybe they live in LA County. But with Nolena's comment, now I'm not so sure. I wonder if some of our cases are being counted in LA because we are so near the county line?
-
Nolena, do you know the family well enough to find out where and when they were tested? I've met many people who say they think they had it but never got tested.

The SB County COVID-19 dashboard numbers have not been consistent. At one point Wrightwood showed 2 positives, days later it showed 1, now it shows 2 again. Plus the number sounds low based on comments.
https://sbcph.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/44bb35c804c44c8281da6d82ee602dff
-
SURE Wrightwood only has 2...
I know several who were assumed positive, but no testing was available for them.
No reliable numbers will be available until there is good, reliable, consistent testing.

A commonly viewed site worldometer shows an interesting factoid about SB county: about 7000 cumulative cases, but only 2400 of them are classified as active. [and it seems LA never clears anyone, 95% of their cases are still show as active] Hard to draw any conclusions when methodologies differ. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/california/

Here's a link for the SB County Dashboard. It has additional info that the worldometer doesn't display.
You can click along the links at the bottom of the page and see how many have tested, where the cases are, deaths, etc. etc.
Wrightwood has had two cases and 113 tests. Phelan has 20 cases and 360 tests. The overall positive rate for the County is 8.4 and the death rate is 3.3.

Majority of COVID-19 cases in San Bernardino County are from private gatherings, data shows
A majority of COVID-19 cases in San Bernardino County are from private gatherings, according to county data released Friday.
Over the last 28 days, 71% of those infected with the virus attended a family gathering in the last 14 days. A total of 228 people out of 319 interviewed by contact tracers indicated that they attended a gathering, according to the county's Department of Public Health.
In comparison, 3% of those infected said they had attended a religious service, while another 3% indicated they had attended a protest in the last 14 days.
"Gathering with family and friends from other households -- chatting, laughing, and having a great time -- is precisely how this virus spreads. That's why the State's stay-at-home order banning gatherings among people from different households is an order, not simply advice," read a statement from the county.
Officials also noted that more than half of confirmed cases in the county, 52%, are among those between the ages of 20 and 39.
San Bernardino County still remains on the state's COVID-19 watch list, which monitors for worsening coronavirus trends. As of Saturday, the county had 23,566 confirmed cases and 328 deaths.

There is good news;
There is now a SNF tab on the SB County Covid Dashboard. Really nice job they are doing on this website and putting everything they can - very informative.
From that you can see that over half the deaths are in SNF or Skilled Nursing Facilities.
Very good news on that site - Doubling times have steadily increased and is now at 20.4, and the death facility rate has been dropping steadily as the number of positive cases are going up but the deaths are not following at the same rate as they were a couple of months ago.
A spike in cases does not seem to follow with a respective spike in deaths, this is good news.
--Wes
-
That is true. We also have to look at our positive rate. The current 7-day average is 19.9%. Those details are in the CDPH link at the bottom of the page.
-

-
Wes, Look at the CDPH link on the dashboard. That shows charts for the various goals the County much reach to open up more. The charts show the goal and where SB County is at in relation to it. Right now, we're moving in the opposite direction. Cheryl
-
Given an evidence-based look at the science, I'd be all for the Swedish model of leaving everything open and relying on people to wear a mask when sharing air with strangers in closed spaces, if we could just convince a certain segment of the population to do that. If everyone wore a mask in public and moved as much as possible outdoors, we'd be okay.
-
I largely agree, except it seems the Swedes are all about maintaining distance and less about masks. Evidently only about 10% use them in the Scandanavian countries. https://www.thelocal.se/20200730/face-masks-coronavirus-and-sweden-what-do-we-know-and-whos-said-what
-
That's interesting -- I have a friend in Sweden and she told me they are wearing them at the stores, etc., it's just voluntary, and the western media is misreporting it. That was months ago, I'll have to ask her again.

What stands out to me is that the County will have to have the number of cases drop in order to meet the criteria. The goal in March was to flatten the curve and keep the hospitals ready to accommodate the additional expected load and to keep the deaths to minimum. That made sense then and makes sense now. Now that it is understood that half the deaths are coming from SNF's why isn't the concentration there instead of closing down businesses that are not responsible for half the deaths.
I love the County's website by the way, they are doing a great job in producing the numbers. The number of positive cases are not dragging the hospitalizations or deaths up at the same rate as the cases are, that is just good news.
The State should remove the criteria of the number of cases being used as a metric to open things up, such as restaurants and gyms and nail solons. The new cases are not coming from there, if they ever were.
Regards,
--Wes

Unfortunately the county's numbers are not accurate. There are way more than 9 cases in Wrightwood. I know that for a fact, but can't share my source.

I can tell you that there is a disconnect between a medical facility and the county when it comes to reporting cases. The facility has had more positive cases in Wrightwood than the county has shown on their website.

When you are dealing with such small numbers and the complexity of reporting to and thru a bureaucracy there are bound to be errors like this. I would not be surprised in finding out that the numbers may be higher.. all things considered using the existing numbers to predict and set policy are very useful.

It is starting to become obvious that locking things down is perhaps the opposite thing we should be doing, barring a vaccine that is.
The Swedes are down to something like 2 deaths per day - they did much better than the rest of Europe without locking down;

First, THANKS FOR THE UPDATES and info across the board regarding the Covid-19 Virus.
I'm now hearing that 15 people have tested positive.
My question is this. Does that 15 include those who tested positive back in March and have recovered?
Or, is this 15 active cases now?
Again, thanks so much for all you do. I really appreciate all the info here on the Forum.
Dave

WW is now up to 16 cases. (Some here think there are more.) Phelan 143 & Pinon Hills 41. Those are all cases from the beginning.
Deaths are 549. 7-day average of positive cases is 14.8. We need to be at 8 to open up. More striking to me is the drop to age 23 for the median age of positive cases. Tell your youngin's to get with it with the mask thing.

I think it is good news that the median age is 23 - This means older folks are paying attention and making common sense decisions with staying out of situations where they might contract the virus, (and younger folks probably are not - but it's really ok). Further younger people are not in much danger so the quicker they become immune the more older folks are protected. I see the SNF's are looking better. The SNF Deaths are not increasing as fast as they were, which is really good news. Somebody is doing better at managing the SNF's.
The positive case metric is not a good number to set policy with unless of course we actually did have an effective vaccine in place. Maybe that will be the case someday.

Our policy at UIA is if anyone is sick for any reason we pull them out and get them tested. The problem I had was that the testing was taking 5 to 7 days and I paid any employee in this predicament for the entire time they were off and waiting for the test results. I finally found a place that has rapid testing, same day in fact.
There are many advantages to rapid testing
1. We get the results and can make on the spot decisions
2. Employees that work with the one being tested feel much better if the test comes back negative
3. If a test came back positive then we would pull everyone that worked with that employee and get them all tested and quarantine those that test positive.
Clinica Mi Pueblo in Victorville. Costs about $200 bucks a test but reasonable given the quick results. Great people and straight forward. I highly recommend them.

It's a little harder to find, but, apparently, we're up to 28 confirmed cases in Wrightwood. That would be a bit higher with the untested and unconfirmed. I know a few who could not get tested, early on, due to tests not being available. And some had to specifically insist on being tested. So.....it's here.
-
This link has the details. Just click on the various links at the bottom. The County positive rate is 9.24, 7-day av is 6.6.
Wrightwood does have 28 positives, Phelan 202, Pinon Hills 57. Three deaths in Phelan.
https://sbcph.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/44bb35c804c44c8281da6d82ee602dff

According to the County, there are 28 positives in Wrightwood, counting from the beginning of the pandemic.
Countywide, there are 50,000 positives, with 45,000 believed to have recovered (rounding off the numbers).
That would mean that there are (approximately) 25 people who tested positive, and have recovered, in Wrightwood.

Between Sept 22 and 29, our county reported 31900 tests. Since our population is 2.18 million, that's 209 tests per 100K of population. This is below the state median of 216, and for this reason we get penalized and held in the purple tier with businesses and schools curtailed. Not because we're sick, but because not enough of us seek a test we don't need. And now the goal posts are moving again, now counties must document test and case data across income and ethnic groups. I'm surprised there isn't more push back against this tyrrany of bureaucrats disrupting our lives.

A rule of law society is the best way for everyone to live. When those systems of checks and balances are cast aside our freedom depends on it being righted.

Do the math on tests and cases between Oct. 1 and Oct. 8 and it's 1809 new cases detected by over 36,000 tests, a 5% positivity rate. Yet on Tuesday the county was informed that, after statistical adjustments, it was another week of failure and our 2-week clock has been reset yet again. The earliest the SB county can officially move out of "purple" is Oct. 20. Restrictions on businesses continue, restauranteurs risk their permits if they allow indoor dining, and no possibility of schools having kids on campus before Thanksgiving. Had enough yet?

Cases divided by Deaths continue to decline. .74% - Analysis: Deaths are declining while testing is greatly increasing - even listing cases or making decisions based on the number of cases is clearly not a good idea.
0 Deaths in the last 7 days

Wes, a couple of things. It's really not just about deaths. We are still learning about the long hauler issues so many are experiencing. And with the new variant supposedly more contagious, the more cases we have the more potential for deaths to increase. Also it's my understanding that the County dashboard data is behind by about a week, do you know if that's so?
When you mention not using case numbers to make decisions, are you talking about decisions on what businesses to open or close etc?
I think we wouldn't be at this point if individuals and business owners had followed the guidelines, both at home and while out. Too many people felt the need to express their freedoms without understanding how that affects so many others.
-
A couple of thoughts on Wes's post:
SB County had 1323 deaths on 12/18; 1420 deaths on 12/24; and 1445 deaths on 12/31 (last update, SB County Dashboard). I don't know why Wes had different numbers.
I think that reporting the number of cases and the rate of those cases is a good idea. It gives you an idea as to whether the positive rate is declining, static, or increasing. There is a 7-day lag in the reporting as KW noted. The case rate for 12/13-12/19 was 23.3%. A week earlier it was 22.7%. The 7-day rate for CDPH monitoring as of 12/31 was 22.34. That's 1+ in 5 tests coming back positive. Yesterday, County Health reported two cases of the new, more contagious strain in SB County.
The ICU beds available are 138 for a county of 2.2 million. That may be 5.8-6.8% - but it's still just 138 beds for our population. Our hospitals are drowning.
The Tri-Community has not escaped the worst of it. Phelan has now had 6 deaths, Pinon Hills 2, and Wrightwood 2. The positive rate for cases is now growing here as well.
One number I read is that between 10 & 15% of those that test positive require hospitalization. We definitely saw an increase from the "Thanksgiving Bump" and we will see what Christmas brought us in a week. We are far from out of this. I was disheartened to see that our Board of Supervisors is suing to re-open.
-
Quote from KW: "I think we wouldn't be at this point if individuals and business owners had followed the guidelines, both at home and while out." Respectfully, I don't know what you mean; are you talking about WW/Phelan/PH? Where are the guidelines not being followed locally? Also, San Bernardino has 657 deaths/million of population, below the CA average of 668 and well below the USA average of 1083.
If you are talking about nationally, I have spent "the holidays" in Utah and Idaho, two states with cities not dissimilar to the High Desert except pretty much anything goes: schools have been open (with masks) since August, indoor dining with little distancing, unmasked patrons in bars day and night. UT and ID both saw increases in cases and deaths that rose in late Nov and those stats decreased on their own through Dec.
The Midwest from North Dakota to Pennsylvania saw a similar pattern earlier (November) and in the past 2 weeks the wave has come to California. Folks like me who think the virus is going to do what it's going to do and measures beyond the original Feb 2019 recommendations of physical distance and hand washing have diminishing returns are generally put in the position of proving a negative ("Imagine how much worse it would be if we had not __insert favorite restriction here____ !!) but I am reminded of Cormac McCarthy in No Country For Old Men: if the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
-
I see your point. In answer to your question, yes there are many businesses in the tri community that are not or have not followed the guidelines. Several restaurants are open for indoor dining without distancing, the UPS store staff in Phelan never wore or required masks, and many people refuse to wear them for various reasons. I see it every time I go to Staters.
Respectfully, if you travelled to multiple states for the holidays then that's exactly what I'm talking about. With asymptomatic people spreading this virus, how do you know you aren't part of the problem?
This virus is relatively new with so much we don't know yet. And as I mentioned before, it's not just about deaths. I'm in my 60's and don't want to risk it with limited hospital beds and the potential for recurring illness.
My brother lives in Virginia and doesn't wear a mask or distance while at church. He tells me to take lots of vitamin D because it might help and it won't hurt. That's exactly how I feel about the guidelines for masks and distancing... It might help and it won't hurt, so why not?
Regarding opening or closing schools and businesses, I don't have those answers. Like you said, we don't know what might have happened right? You mention a couple of regions and their stats, but I would have to research that myself to get a good feel for if I agree with you or not.
Curious, do you think everyone (residents and businesses alike) have been following all the guidelines, or are you saying there shouldn't be guidelines? What would you do? Honest question.
-
Cheapskate: If you think about it - we don't have to disprove a negative. It's the positives that are killing us.
As of Jan. 2, 2021:
California has 5952 cases per 100k.
Utah has 8581 cases per 100k.
Idaho has 7787 cases per 100k
I'm not sure that demonstrates their 'anything goes' is working all that well. Those numbers are as of today. Idaho has fewer people than San Bernardino County and Utah has around .7 million more. Their density is 19.8 & 35.8 people per sq mile and their rates are still higher than ours.
The closures save lives and kill businesses. Folks were human over the holidays. After these long months of social distancing - they cut loose too much. From my perspective, the closures are an attempt to balance hospital and ICU use. As stark as it was - I loved "No Country for Old Men." The problem is that people are not following the rule. There must be another quote from that film that would make your point. I do think that the closures help. I don't think my opinion on the matter is more valid than yours.
-
Fact is that all these tough guy anti-maskers aren't tough enough to wear one, and aren't tough enough to not hang out with people. They break down and cave in. It's looking more and more realistic that the vaccine in combination post-infection immunity will be the only way out. All levels of government will need to get tough. No vaccine? Then no interstate travel, no driver's license renewal, no admission to schools, and so on. Fake "freedom" wierdos aren't going to come along quietly or voluntarily.
-
KW -- Are you talking about restaurants in WW? I generally eat out in Phelan, and all the restaurants I frequented there are take out only or drive through, although I admit there might be shenanigans I am unaware of. Your experience in Stater Bros is different than mine, I see pretty good mask compliance there. Perhaps I am "part of the problem", I'll own that, but on the other hand I live alone and have been made to work from home so my social contact starting in March has been cut by over 90%. Furthermore, masks are worn in airports and distance is maintained except when actually on the plane, so I don't see the problem. (unless masks aren't nearly effective as we've been led to believe...)
tcarabians -- there endless ways that case and death statistics can be examined. Consider this one:
CA: 2,393,000 cases with 26,533 deaths. That means 98.89% survival, and 672 deaths per 1 million of population. Similar calculations show
ID: 98.98% survival, 810 deaths/1M
UT: 99.54% survival, 404 deaths/1M
County of San Bernardino: 99.29% survival, 657 deaths/1M
Like our county, UT and ID have a few population centers and many small towns separated by lots of space. Completely different approaches to schools and small businesses, yet very similar outcomes.
Joe -- I haven't seen a lot of "freedom weirdos". Like CA, businesses in UT and ID overwhelmingly require masks to enter and people comply at least as well as they do here (one restaurant in UT required us to use hand sanitizer and took our temperature). As for more restrictions, maybe President Biden will change air travel (if governors have the power, not one has chosen to do so) and maybe this vaccine will become mandatory for many things as it becomes more widely available. We'll all have to see what the future brings.
-
Cheapskate: I agree that statistics can be looked at from a variety of perspectives. I can't count the times I've heard the almost 99 percent survival rate raised and usually in a way that dismisses the seriousness of this disease. One percent of 330 million is a lot of deaths. It's a lot of families that have lost a loved one. It's what is happening in our hospitals now. With luck and better logistics - the vaccine is going to make a difference. It's going to save us and ultimately our economy.
I give greater weight to lives and families than I do to businesses. None of us can hang our hat on one approach over another until all is said and done. When all the deaths and hospitalizations can be tallied - then we can look at the cold numbers and say "I told you so." Until then, I'm going to follow the science and support the best efforts of our health officials that order businesses closed or curtailed. I will also support federal monies to help businesses stay afloat. I'd really like to see better controls than Treasury has employed to date on those disbursements. Ditto CA unemployment benefits.
I hope I'm not so arrogant as to dismiss the real pain many are going through on the economic front. If we're going to analyze outcomes of one approach over another - we're going to have to add in the costs for hospitalizations and the long term health impacts to many that are recovering. We're just beginning to get a grasp of what those may be.
I see most in Stater's wearing masks. There was a fellow at the meat counter a week past that wasn't wearing his mask. I turned to him and said "Darlin' - you gotta put on your mask." Maybe it's because I'm tall... maybe it's because I have a lot of gray hair .. he did it and didn't argue. Until this is over or at least controlled - I'm going to keep doing that.. all friendly like with a smile.
-
Joe -- I haven't seen a lot of "freedom weirdos".
I see them all the time. They're all over the internet, they're all over the news, there are entire organizations dedicated to amplifying their toxic voices. Even the internet itself serves the purpose of giving a megaphone to these weirdos. They put on a mask only to go to the places that insist on masks, and then take it off and gather together in multi-household groups and spread it around. You nailed the point about air travel. The number of people on planes, and the fact that non-essential air travel hasn't been shut down is amazing. I'm all for getting out, but do so in your own car, with your own household members, and keep a mask on when you're at your destination.

Number one rule for handling a crisis: Tell the truth, bluntly.
If you don't - then you get what we got:
California and LA is the worst Covid outbreak in the world - probably not exactly true since communist Countries have a habit of lying about bad news, but certainly true for the United States.
No spread occurred from the Thanksgiving Holiday from air travel directly. - Banning it would do zero.
We do know that there are hardly any cases coming from outdoor restaurants - yet they are closed down. A NY study puts it at 3% banning it has done and will do zero.
We know that 74% of the cases are coming from households - this would include the non weirdo households and weirdo households
We know that 86% of the fatalities are in 65+ year olds and with underlying conditions.- Yet we are giving the vaccine that is in short supply to 25 year old health care workers first with some even already have had Covid.
Florida is not doing it this way for example, they are prioritizing the vaccine distribution based on who is vulnerable and working down the line - nice to see.

I give greater weight to lives and families than I do to businesses.
I don't think of it as mutually exclusive. Businesses are families. They often support several generations of families in fact.
Things would be a lot different if politicians and teachers did not get paid during this pandemic.

Teachers, seriously? They are doing everything they can to help our kids learn during the most stressful time imaginable. I've done remote kindergarten with my grandson. Many teachers had to learn new technology. They all had to revise lessons, change schedules, and are continuing to adapt to distance learning.
Why would you lump teachers with politicians? I'm trying not to get too involved in this discussion, but why be hurtful to teachers that are trying so hard? They miss their kids and classrooms just as much as the kids miss school.

And here we have 2020. To say that no increased transmission occurred due to holiday travel...which inherently puts people in places where they weren't before, near people they weren't near before is, bluntly, absurd and contrary to all common sense. RE: kooks (you can lump apathetics in here too) vs. non-kook households, given how the virus spreads, common sense tells us that the transmission rate will be higher among the anti-mask kooks...and at a higher rate to adjacent people they come in contact with. RE: underlying conditions, what percentage of citizens have underlying conditions of any kind? What is considered an underlying condition? Both of those are rhetorical. The real question is are we all aware of how easy it is to play games with statistics in the everybody-is-lying era?
In summary, I'm blissfully comfortable rejecting your carefully crafted response because, in the everyone-is-lying era, I'm far more trusting in my common sense views on the realities of how airborne viruses are transmitted. I've skipped birthdays, thanksgiving, christmas and have visited my elderly mother only a handful of times and only when I had to. And I'll keep it up until my family members have received both doses of the vaccine.
PS. Actually, there is one item I agree with - the vaccination of people who have already received repeated, trustworthy, positive COVID tests (the kind of tests that aren't possibly falsified in everybody-is-lying era). Those folks, regardless of circumstances, should be lumped in with the general public.

As we begin in 2021, we need to leave people alone to make their own decisions. We have seen a rise in suicide and depression over a virus with a 99% survival rate. I stopped following or believing all these numbers a long time ago when I realized that our best interest was not a priority to our state officials. My family refused to let this be the new "normal" early on, and it has. been the best decision for our family. We visit our elderly family members weekly because they don't want to be isolated from others and need human contact. My family went back to in person church services in May with no mask or social distancing and have remained healthy the entire time. I look forward to the day when random folks stop giving us unsolicited advice on what we should or shouldn't do to stay healthy. To each his own ;)

Agape, I'm sincerely happy that you've all stayed healthy. And of course everyone will do their own thing, with many of those still not realizing that they can look healthy and may be infecting others who aren't so lucky. This is not advice to change, but I certainly hope your luck continues because the people you come into contact with may not be so lucky. And you may never know who those people are, how sick they got, or if they died. That's the main reason I'm careful, I don't want my actions to hurt someone else. I personally know two people who have passed from this, and others with lingering symptoms. I continue to wonder if folks who do their own thing will change their behavior if someone close to them gets sick. Although I did read about a restaurant owner who's father passed from Covid, and the son said his dad would be proud of him for staying open. Too bad the dad can't speak for himself anymore. Stay well.

I have severe lung damage from my former career as a firefighter. I manage it as best I can, exercising to keep my remaining lung tissue healthy. I don't go into the post office, and only go to Jensen's on senior hour on Mondays, to maintain as much social distancing as I can. I always have a mask with me, and I am appreciative of others who mask up, so that I can stay alive and healthy. It's not fun for me to be this isolated, and I am not trying to impose my will on anyone else, but others, also, should not assume that others are so healthy that no care needs to be taken. My husband died of his firefighting-caused lung disease, even before the pandemic. We need to care for each other. Err on the side of caution.
-
And here we have 2020. To say that no increased transmission occurred due to holiday travel...which inherently puts people in places where they weren't before, near people they weren't near before is, bluntly, absurd and contrary to all common sense.
I do agree with your statement, but to clarify, I meant that there weren't any cases, (I'm sure there were a few but nothing significant) from Air Travel itself, getting it while on the plane in other words. So banning air travel and leaving it up to just essential businesses will not work. Banning businesses just hasn't worked.
We in a free society should not sanction things that simply don't work or aren't working - No air travel for example, shutting down outdoor dining in every County in California. Well.. except the French Laundry of course.
I did travel on Thanksgiving and I think we all did the common sense things, getting tested before we went, keeping the family members to just that, 7 people. We flew right back.
Everyone got tested, we went and no one got it while we were there or since. Did we take a chance, yes. The risk was acceptable for everyone there - maybe we just got lucky, but I go by the numbers and try to reduce the risk.
I believe the mask and social distancing works. It did for us.

Arrowhead is in the news this morning. They're setting up in the parking lot and stretched about as far as they can stretch. St. Mary's made the national news last week. The case rate is escalating in our little Tri-Community. Those are the numbers I'm going by.

Daily Stats
214,813 Confirmed Cases (up 0.7% from the previous day)
1,454 Deaths (up 0.3% from the previous day)

lol bs ::)
-
SB County is at 7.5% ICU remaining capacity - up slightly but this changes daily
Cases divided by Deaths continue to decline. ..67% - Testing is really increasing. Rapid tests are starting to be everywhere now - I know I am taking advantage of this in our company
0 Deaths in the last 7 days - Really this number is not a good number as the data lags behind and is filled in later..
6 Deaths in the last 14 days - Good news in a County of 2.18 Million people

Wes, Where are you pulling these numbers from?
There were 1407 deaths reported on 12/23; 1442 on 12/30; (no report on 1/1,2); and 1454 on 1/7. That's 47 deaths in that 14 day period and 12 in the last seven days.
More importantly to us here in the Tri-Community, positive cases between 12/23 & 1/7 were Phelan 904 to 1140; Pinon Hills 234 to 285; and Wrightwood 211 to 252. The 7-day positive rate for SB County as of 12/29 is 23.42%. We're running a bit behind that here but not by much. The number of ICU beds available today is 143 for a county of 2.2 million.
These numbers are from the County Dashboard. I make note of them. Cheryl

Wes, Where are you pulling these numbers from?
The same place he got the notion that people getting together on Thanksgiving didn't cause a viral transmission surge. Absurdity. Why do I get the sneaky feeling someone might be running for public office.
People should have to have a license to transmit information on the FCC-governed internet. No hiding behind pseudonyms. And just like driving, you get 5 lies or statements of misinformation before your license is suspended. And anything extremely severe gets your license revoked. Why should I have to register to drive, register to fly a remote controlled airplane, but be free to get on the internet to misinform and help create division and promote destruction?
-
Joe, Your plan could save some grief - but it would kill the Internet. Though, we should do a constitutional amendment and apply it to Presidents.

Wes, Where are you pulling these numbers from?
I am getting them from the SB County Dashboard. Looking at the Deaths tab. I can't bring up the site at the moment, perhaps it is down for a bit.

Joe I never said that.. what I said was that there wasn't anyone getting the virus that I could see from air travel itself - as in on the plane. My point was that I didn't want to see different businesses restricted that did not have a history of spreading the virus. Same with outdoor restaurants.
I am not running for public office, I already did my duty there and I have no interest in it.

I get info from this website https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/california/
It says San Bernardino had 32 deaths today at the time of this posting. If this is correct then we are at 1486 now.
-
WDB123 - The County Dashboard states the same numbers on deaths.
-
Joe Schmoe, UIA is correct in that the chances of getting the virus while ON an airplane is rather low due to the way the air circulates and refreshes (which is about every 2-3 minutes).
-

It sure looks like there was a big post holidays surge in cases and deaths, I am in my 60's and have Asthma so I just don't go anywhere anymore.
-
WDB123 - There were some marked increases in cases reported on the 4th & 5th - plus 7000 & 10000 respectively. Those cases would have been for seven days prior. The rate for the seven day period ending 12/30 is 22.04%. The hospitals in the High Desert are over capacity. We should all refrain from doing anything that requires stitches. Going to Stater's for our weekly shopping feels like a birthday party.

I don't think this area ever had enough hospital capacity, there was supposed to have been another hospital built off of the 15 freeway but that seems to have been abandoned now.

Before all this I spent a 5-hour flight behind a man who must have had a combination of health problems and some odd dietary choices. He passed gas repeatedly while he slept and it was all but unbearable. Sorry - the air handling inside an airplane has proven, to me in my actual experience, to be physically, tangibly inadequate (no need to explain the difference in gases and particulates, I'm aware). Flying on a plane is not a sanitary, benign scenario. Acquiring it on a plane probably happens all the time, but the lag before the positive test or symptoms allows enough uncertainty about picking it up elsewhere.
And all of this ignores the airport terminal....another place you are in proximity to many people for a long time. You can't deny that. So, what are people doing? Not getting it at either a terminal OR a plane? Or are people in denial out of some self-destructive sense of protecting business?
-
I don't know the answer to the questions raised about flying. What I do know is 9 times out of 10 when I flew - I got a cold days afterward. It could have been a coincidence.
-

Joe, I literally laughed out loud at this comment! I'm sorry you had to endure that. I had a tiny (11 pounds) dachshund who was a living gas bomb. I would hold her on my lap while I goofed off on my computer, and sometimes, it was just unbelievable how that tiny precious creature could produce that! At least I could set her on the floor or let her out back. I can't imagine having to endure that for 5 hours with nowhere to escape!

Quote from Joe: "And all of this ignores the airport terminal....another place you are in proximity to many people for a long time. You can't deny that. So, what are people doing? Not getting it at either a terminal OR a plane? Or are people in denial out of some self-destructive sense of protecting business?"
Oh, I can deny it. Joe, if I read you correctly, the gassy dog anecdote was pre-pandemic. I previously "owned" that I'm a potential part of the problem (flew to see younger family at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year) and all I can tell you is it's at least as safe as going to the grocery. Either 6 foot of distance while wearing masks works or it doesn't. No one crowds in the terminal; seriously, the TSA lines are different, and if your flight is at Gate 15 folks tend to spread out across Gates 14-16; this is easy because there are fewer flights. And there's no place where folks are on better "mask behavior".
Another fun fact: the "inflection point" for cases in CA -- the date where cases started rising sharply -- was mid November, and for deaths it was early December. Those data suggest that it began before "holiday travel". Did it start because of Halloween, or did it start because it's simply when cold/flu season generally starts in CA? I don't know. But linking cause/effect to travel is a conclusion based on logical assumptions, not actual evidence.
-
A second Wrightwood family lost a family member to Covid in the last 24 hours.
-
How about the other countries who don't celebrate Thanksgiving and theirs cases went up also.
-
But linking cause/effect to travel is a conclusion based on logical assumptions, not actual evidence.
In the era of everyone-is-lying or truth-is-a-religious-belief, I'm going to stand by my rock-solid logic. And I encourage others to as well.
-
scwt - You have to look at the individual country to try and figure that out. I'll wait for the post-pandemic analysis. One thing to keep in mind is that a good many countries have more rapid transit than the U.S. Meanwhile, Wrightwood has a lower 7-day positive rate than does the county as a whole. 15.5% to 24.1%. Whereas, Phelan has a 27.2% rate and Pinon Hills 22.7%. Note to self: Shop at Jensen's in lieu of Stater's.
p.s. There is a fire in the pass. They closed Cajon Blvd from Kenwood to Cleghorn. It started about 40 minutes ago.
-
Note to self: Shop at Jensen's in lieu of Stater's.
I have not shopped at Stater's in over a year, even pre-pandemic, for different reasons at that time. Jensen's has gotten all my grocery business. Occasionally, there might be an item that I want which Jensen's doesn't carry, but so far, I've had no need to venture off this hill for groceries.

Regarding air travel, an employee of my friend had her daughter visit from North Dakota over the holidays. She flew home last Wednesday, then found out that her brother tested positive and now she is positive, so she was flying while contagious and no one had a clue until she got home. The mom/employee tested negative at first, but now she has all the symptoms including loss of taste so is getting a second test. I'll stick to my personal car for now.
-
Hopefully everyone makes it through ok....but there you have it. Now, you can hold a religious belief that fart-filled plane cabins and terminals are A-OK places during a pandemic, but logic dictates that you're wrong. And your incorrect religious belief is costing people their lives, low and middle-wage jobs, damaging the strength and stability of the country...and on and on. That's a bad religion.

I have been buying most of my food from Amazon, Costco and Chewy for dog food, I will probably stop buying food from Amazon and mainly use Costco from here on out. Amazon was doing next day delivery for about a week to my house but now they are back to sending everything to the Post Office, Costco is slow but they use UPS so I get everything at my house. My brother picks up perishable items from Staters when I need them.

I absolutely agree with you Cheapskate about the misleading nature of using percentages with low numbers. The one death in the whole County that was reported on 1/21 was in Wrightwood. There is a family there grieving. I also agree about the impact of density. Except the Tri-Community area is running a positive rate of 27-30 and WW is at 18. How do we sort that out? It's the straight percentage of positives and we're running higher than the county as a whole and even areas like Victorville, Fontana, etc.
-
I am curious about your assertion that the Phelan/Pinion Hills positivity rate exceeds places Fontana. I hope this county site displays properly, but it shows 1 "outbreak" case in Tri Comm and 185 in Fontana. https://sbcph.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/0f74629fadb142668a8a0c01a0b83d9b

Clicked my own link, on a phone you must advance 3 screens to see what I mean.
-
The last few days have been bad for SB county, Worldometers.info site is showing 73 deaths for today after 15 yesterday. SB is now at 1667 deaths.
-
Cheapskate et al, This is the link I use to look at the County data. If you go to locations in the nav bar at the bottom, you can then click on the left nav bar for the community/city you want to look at for details. If you click on that community say Wrightwood - it will show the "positive rate" currently for Jan. 3-9 as well as other details. For WW it is 18.5. Phelan is 27.8 and Pinon Hills is 30.1. The data lags as you can see. Currently, Victorville & Fontana have lower positive rates. I'm looking at 'community cases" it will show "outbreak cases" which are facilities. This same link now shows 1667 deaths in SB County. That is 73 more than yesterday. I assume that was data entry catching up. You can click around on the nav bar at the bottom for different types of data displays. The Details section offers some explanation. This link is updated daily.

Just adding that the link Cheapskate posted more-or-less goes to the same link I posted. Cheapskate's link didn't have the expanded info. Why? I don't know. Of note, the # of positives went up a bit for the three communities in the Tri-Community yesterday - but they didn't report additional tests. The positive rate didn't change. Is our high rate a function of percentages running high with low numbers? I guess it could be. I make note of the positives for our area and how they're trending. The current trend is up. The benchmark is 8. We're well above that. There are 122 ICU beds available in the whole county. That is functionally zero.

It isn't a coincidence that NOW the governor wants to lift strict orders. Aren't our numbers still so high? Wasn't this whole thing about following the science and nothing to do with politics? I am not sure who they think they are fooling, but CA needs to wake up and challenge all the damage that has already occurred because we have a governor who doesn't know what he's doing. After Biden's inauguration, WHO announced that the numbers were not as accurate as they originally told us, and NOW they are admitting the test are not accurate............HORRIBLE!

Not San Bernardino specific, but this is the best representation of where we stand on COVID. In the face of a graph like that, if you can't bridge to the idea that holiday-related travel (yes, on planes too) caused a spike then no one is ever going to get you there...and that's not reason, that's religion. To be fair, I think there is an overlap between a holiday-driven spike and a spike from what has been reported as a more contagious version of the virus. We will know if the latter is true if we level off to a value higher than we were seeing in October.
Also, I'm reading elsewhere (elsewhere not being Facebook or Fox News...elsewhere being local news outlets) that the coroners office still has to make a determination whether the death of a person was related to their ongoing COVID infection, or some other condition. So, I *foresee* us moving into a new version of media circus whereby coroners are finding reason to NOT attribute a death to COVID, whilst a small handful of deaths that follow obtaining the vaccine are being attributed to the vaccine, not those same underlying conditions, and then massively shouted about in certain media outlets.
In light of the graph, the statewide re-opening makes sense. The decision was made within roughly two weeks of the peak on 1/10. Exactly who among the recall nuts would make such a decision with less than two weeks of supporting data? If someone out there thinks we should be making such decisions with LESS than two weeks of data, they aren't qualified for the position. Keep those self-destructive suggestions to yourselves.

If you go to the dashboard - you'll see that they corrected data. That reduced the number of tests by approx 150k. The dashboard is updated daily.
-
Joe, I like where you are going with that.
-
The problem is the UK and South African variants and similar mutation are about to become dominant, and that will make the holiday spikes look like blips. It's been exactly a year now since it was clear this was a pandemic, and we continue to be reactive rather than proactive.
-
What proactive steps do you recommend at this time?
-
I think it would be proactive to test, test, test, and isolate. I'm not a medical professional so I don't know which tests are best, but we need something that's readily available with fast results. Look at the sports teams that have played this past year. They test constantly, why can't the general public and essential workers have that testing available to them? It all comes down to the money.
-
KW, you are so right about it being about the money. The sports teams make millions of dollars so they find a way to play even though their players keep coming down with Covid. That infuriates me. The counties don't have access to those kind of dollars so their residents have to wait both for results and vaccines. It's all about the money.
-
What proactive steps do you recommend at this time?
There are a lot of things that have bothered me in the public health response, but I was referring to the timing here. Everything we do has been a few weeks late. None of the waves have been a surprise, but every time we've waited until the hospitals were already strained to increase restrictions. This next wave with the new variants is three or four weeks away, and it's going to be the worst of them all, with 50% more transmissibility and 30% more severity. We should be keeping the current restrictions in anticipation of that, and emphasizing travel restrictions in hopes of keeping them geographically isolated. We've been closing the barn door after the horses run away. Come back and find this post at the end of February.
-
What proactive steps do you recommend at this time?
Businesses must be required to reconfigure their air handling systems to bring high volumes of fresh air into the space, and exhaust high volumes of air. Lazy businesses have done shamefully little to mitigate spread of airborne contaminants...look around your local grocery store...the $200 in plexiglass and $10 in plastic bags they have deployed...billion dollar companies have spent next to NOTHING. Also, shut down international air travel and require TWO negative COVID tests to cross state lines - one test dated between 10-14 days ago, one test within 48 hours or less. And I don't want to hear the crying about commerce, because it can only get worse if we reach the point where the United States is one of the few first-world countries left who don't have a handle on the virus. The rest of the world might just begin treating us like lepers...which makes us weak, and vulnerable. Imagine the all of the commercial, financial and world-power progress gains others will make while we sit around and whine like children over masks, and resist taking the vaccine.
Example: Australia hasn't had a single COVID death since October 19th(!!!), with an average of 6(!!!!!!) new cases per day. How long before our allies start walking away?

Businesses must be required to reconfigure their air handling systems to bring high volumes of fresh air into the space, and exhaust high volumes of air ...
Yes to all this. And UV air filters. Also no public messaging about the importance of vitamin D. Zero. And surprise, surprise, when the sun gets low in the sky, the second wave comes. And nothing about prophylactics whatsoever. In India they're going door to door handing out blisterpacks of ivermectin, D, C, zinc and telling people to take it if they think they were sick or exposed. Costs $2 each.

"Also no public messaging about the importance of vitamin D"
My doctor prescribed Vitamin D3 for me, I was buying it over the counter before he prescribed it but not at nearly as high a dosage.

I got my first vaccination on the 28th at the Health Center in Hesperia. I had made an appointment on line. (I had no problems doing that on the San Bernardino County site.) I got there 35 minutes early, and was checked in immediately. It was quite well organized, and the employees were pleasant, helpful, and professional. The whole thing took me about an hour, including the 15 minute waiting period afterward. My biggest question (Is there a restroom?) was answered in the affirmative. I advise taking something to do while waiting. (I took a crossword puzzle book.) An hour before, I took a non-drowsy allergy pill and used my asthma inhaler. (Something I had learned to do, from my allergist, before the allergy shots that I took for several years.) No side effects, except for a little soreness at the injection site the next day. I have not yet been able to schedule the 2nd shot, as my time frame for that has not shown up yet. No problems.

We are living in a time where so many people are supremely comfortable being wrong-minded. Stubborn, immovable, irrational and wrong. I'm not sure how we get out of such a common-sense hole. I'm not sure the election alone will do it. As long as people have a place to go to be programmed with BS 24/7....

The 7-day positive rate for Wrightwood is 4.2 (2/7-2/13). Big drops in Phelan and Pinon Hills too.

I know that I feel a bit more positive about things now that I've had my 2nd vaccination. I'm thinking that the increased volume of vaccinations may be helping.

The CSD has been informed that the county has mobile vaccinations for those 65+ scheduled for the Wrightwood area.
They are scheduled for March 4 and March 25 at the Wrightwood Elementary School 10am-3pm. Please note:
The Department of Aging and Adult Services will be making the initial contacts with their senior clients to schedule appointments directly with those individuals. We ask that those residents interested contact the Joint Information Center (JIC) at 909-387-3911. The JIC will then assist these individuals in scheduling their appointments for the current week. Lastly, should any appointments still be available 48 hour before the event day the links will be posted on the County's vaccination webpage at: https://sbcovid19.com/vaccine/.

The states do not make sense. The SBCO Covid dashboard shows the death rate is showing 0% from previous day. Confirmed cases is also showing 0% from previous day. Testing is also showing .1% from previous day. Why are the numbers you post different? Just curious, thanks.
