COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such

I'm going to be interested in what the metric is for "all-clear". As much as we have a shitshow of a metric/common understanding of what should drive activities and reductions (certain closures, masks, virtual school, etc) the lack of clarity there means going to be just as much an issue on getting agreement on the "all is well" front.  What a mess.

I have two nephews at aggy.  Both have Covid now.  Virtually everyone they know has symptoms.  They had rush week last week and there was no social distancing, no masks worn.  1000's of dumb kids partying and going from house to house to house.  They are going to fuck up college football for all of us.

West Campus was in full swing last week.  Huge sorority parties with food trucks, pool parties etc.  Not a mask in sight.

7 day moving average of hospital admissions.  Check out their dashboard here:

https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/0ad7fa50ba504e73be9945ec2a7841cb

Is there somewhere on that site (or elsewhere) that compares that to the hospital and ICU capacity?  I would hope so, as without context we can't tell if this is significant (good or bad).

https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/0ad7fa50ba504e73be9945ec2a7841cb
According to the graph, we should be in stage 3.

I get that we have to be under a threshold for a good period of time. But we've been under 40 new admissions since the start of August and trending downward.

Or am I missing how to interpret that graph?

Texas Tribune has that for the state.

Does anyone know when the majority of schools having in-person classes will start/have started?  I’d like to set my surge timer and see how it plays out.  

No need for that. When the number of posts per day on this this thread drops to about 3, look for the surge 2-3 weeks after that. Or about 3 weeks after Labor Day.

locally mask usage was really good lately, but I’m already seeing signs of people getting bored with it.

Head on over to their other dashboard:

https://austin.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/39e4f8d4acb0433baae6d15a931fa984

In the panel "Weekly Hospitalizations by Race & Ethnicity - MSA", click on the tab "MSA ICU and Vent 7d Mov. Avg."

Travis County finally at the low end of their "new normal" 200-300 cases/day range with 206 yesterday.

Fairly normal distribution with exception being 40-49 bracket. Although these were offset by reductions vs norm in the 60+ brackets so I will take that trade

Age Bracket <1 1 to 9 10 to 19 20 to 29 30 to 39 40 to 49 50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 79 >80 Total
New Cases 8/21 vs 8/20 2 5 16 56 42 49 18 8 7 3 206
% of Daily Change 0.97% 2.43% 7.77% 27.18% 20.39% 23.79% 8.74% 3.88% 3.40% 1.46%  
% of Total Cases 0.49% 2.97% 8.07% 26.66% 21.56% 16.33% 11.55% 6.61% 3.30% 2.47%   25,559

I’ll be interested in any lessons learned once this thing is over one way or another, but for this particular bug I’m tempted to say that the thing to do would be have all the 25 and under get it ASAP while isolating from others. You take the occasional unlucky death and a month later 1/3 of the country has immunity.  Can’t imagine such a plan being feasible though, even if it was the correct course of action.

I have a modest proposal . . . .

Sweden basically said "fuck it" and there's some evidence that their way worked.

Latest Dallas data shows that week ending 8/8 hospitalizations are back down to what they were on 5/30. So we've basically fallen all the way back to what it was when this summer ramp up started.   Pretty impressive.  I wasn't sure we would see it this low again absent a vaccine.

As has been noticed in NY, etc., the hospitalizations curve accelerates much more quickly than it decelerates. Thanks @Message Board User for bringing useful content on the reg

No problem.  

I've had to seek this information out on my own because the media (sadly but expectedly) isn't mentioning one word about this. 

I watched the national news tonight - nothing about the nationwide decrease in hospitalizations. 

Then I watched the local DFW news - nothing about the consistent decrease in hospitalizations here either (over 50% in 1 month!).

For justhookit:

Travelers from New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, or Connecticut who present a negative coronavirus test will be able to fly to Costa Rica starting next month.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a ploy to infect Yankees again. But in the meantime can I borrow someones mailing address?

I believe that 82% number is exactly the same as CDC number for over 60.

Yep. This disease absolutely kills the elderly. I think I saw at some point that between 40-55% or so of ALL CV19 deaths had occurred in nursing homes/long term care/rehab facilities. Just crazy how it ran through those locations and absolutely killed senior citizens.

Yep. Austin has been on a great trajectory. Trending pretty rapidly back towards phase 1.

I can't find any good trend data for Comal County, which as a data guy is giving me the DTs.

Keep it under 150/20 through Wednesday and I might start masturbating furiously.

Two days in a row <100 cases for Travis County (to be fair they were weekend days but still) with yesterday's tally being 96. Travis Co hasn't had two days in a row <100 cases in a couple of months so I will still take it as movement in the right direction. While cases yesterday were low, there was a concentration in the 10-19 & 30-39 age brackets. (In terms of their normal share of cases)

Age Bracket <1 1 to 9 10 to 19 20 to 29 30 to 39 40 to 49 50 to 59 60 to 69 70 to 79 >80 Total
New Cases 8/23 vs 8/22 0 4 18 21 30 10 7 5 1 0 96
% of Daily Change 0.00% 4.17% 18.75% 21.88% 31.25% 10.42% 7.29% 5.21% 1.04% 0.00%  
% of Total Cases 0.48% 2.98% 8.09% 26.67% 21.60% 16.31% 11.53% 6.59% 3.29% 2.45%   25,736
