It takes 10-12 weeks to get a regular passport.
Yall are out of your mind if you think vaccine passports will even be relevant by the time they can figure out what it would look like.

I wish we had age data for the daily admits.  It’s being pretty stubborn in the 15-25 range.  The ratio of lagging admits to new cases seems high to me.

Yep - Travis County basically does an MSA Snapshot weekly of hospitalizations by age group. They just updated with 4/4 info.

1 to 9 (1)

10 to 19 (2)

20 to 29 (8)

30 to 39 (9)

40 to 49 (12)

50 to 59 (17)

60 to 69 (18)

70 to 79 (19)

80+ (15)

I did a rough compare of cases by age group for the week prior to 4/4 and then looked at the share of hospitalizations and while cases are still majority skewing younger hospitalizations are skewing much older. Tipping point is the 50 to 59 group where % hospitalized starts to eclipse share of cases.

This is an imperfect way to do the data view as I don't know exactly when the folks hospitalized were exposed to CV19 etc but directionally it is ok.

So olds 60+ make up ~8% of the cases but still account for ~50% of the hospitalizations.  I will take that as a good sign.  There should be an all out blitz to find every person over 50 and hassle the fuck out of them until they get the shot.  Unvaccinated old people are officially keeping this problem from being almost entirely solved.

Correct. An intelligent, data-driven response. Hence why I have a much different POV around my parents getting vaccinated vs. me getting vaccinated or my kids. Also why the bar shut down is sort of silly - olds are more likely to be at Home Depot or Wal-Mart than a bar. Armybrat noticeably the exception.

It’s a good sign in the sense that the variants don’t seem to be hospitalizing young people at a high rate.  But yes, a bad sign because it shows there are still enough unvaxxed olds to put 10+ more of them in the hospital every day.

What happened to the expected spring break surge?

[BrazilHorn 6586]

149 cases yesterday for Travis County which is higher than I'd like for a Saturday with the 60 to 69 group outperforming their normal share of cases. 70+ age groups are WELL below their normal share which is good to see.

20 admits and 127 hospitalized (first time <130 since 11/9).

Some really great news is that for w/e 4/10 there were only 4 deaths in Travis County and NONE of them were from people 70 years old or older. This is great to see and pretty solid proof that needles in arms work.

The deaths were (2) 60 to 69, then (1) each in the 40 to 49 & 50 to 59 cohorts.

173 cases for Travis County Sunday with 18 admits and 130 people hospitalized.

What makes you say that?  Seems pretty clear to me that there has been a consistent increase in social activity over the last month.  Speculating, the new variants that are circulating appear to spread more easily among younger people. Those 2 factors seem to explain why cases and admits haven't continued to go down since Spring Break.  On the flip side, it also seems pretty clear to me that the older groups have reached a vaccination threshold such that they are seeing consistent decreases in case counts (although they are still being hospitalized at a disproportionate rate).

I still think shots in arms, warmer weather, and school letting out for summer will finish this thing off in the US for the most part.  But vaccine hesitancy could fuck us.

Ah.  Yes, the reduction from the January peak is similar to the fall after the previous wave.  At some point during a surge, infections peak then wane; I agree there’s not much information out there as to what determines that peak.  But the case/admit counts over the last month or so seem to be pretty logical and fit with what we are seeing in terms of social activity, variant prevalence, and vaccinations.

The issue with your intelligent, data driven opinion is there are enough people like you, scared of a vaccine developed by our best and brightest, that we won't get near herd immunity. Meaning the small percentage of folks that cannot be vaccinated will be left unprotected. You and yours, many of whom probably simultaneously believe China developed covid in a lab, will pick up and help grow variants while guaranteeing every annoying aspect of this pandemic is here to stay.

Just anecdotally among my friends, several of them definitely waited to let their high-school-aged kids go back, until now.  Most parents of middle school and younger kids, that I know, let them go back last Fall.  

Our 5th and 7th grader have been in-person since October.

I'm pushing sending my fourth grader back to school.  He's now one of 5 kids in his class still remote while the other 13 are in person.  I'd say easily 60-70% of the school has gone back in person.  My ex still claims she's nervous about it, even though she and I are both fully vaccinated.

I'm okay with my daughter finishing out the year remotely.  It's the opposite at her school -- relatively few kids are going back in person.  Her grades are good and she's had social interaction with a small group of girls as her pod and while paying on the varsity basketball team.
