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

[drt 637]

Our daycare provider tested positive. So the pediatrician lined up a Covid test on Tuesday for our 1.5 year old. Should be a fun few days until then.

Hope your kid isn't positive. Both of our kid's (3 and 5 years old) teachers at preschool have tested positive in the last few months. Neither teacher passed it to any of the kids in their class.

299 cases in Travis County yesterday with 31 new admits. Big day in the <1 category with 5 cases. While small numbers still biggest single day in that group since early September (to be fair this could always be a "fast finger" data entry error by the Travis Co folks)

Cases overall skewing younger as has been recent trend. (barring that one weird blip earlier this week)

359 cases and 31 admits. What is interesting is the numbers hospitalized only increased by 3 to 216. 

Mortality date is updated:

11 deaths w/e 12/5 (50 to 59 (4), 60 to 69 (3), 70 to 79 (2), 80+ (2))

Crazy two days in a row in the <1 category. 12 cases in that group the last two days. That is normally a couple of weeks worth of increase in this group. Cases skewing younger overall as has been typical trend.

Pretty nasty jump in the 7 day moving average for Austin hospitalizations today. Hopefully it's a data dump and not a ramp

Do hospitalizations have data dumps?  I was under the impression they were largely real time.  

[BrazilHorn 6,576]

Welp Texas appears to be doomed to wander the football desert for next several years as Herman is seemingly fumblefucking his way to being the HC next year.

Also Travis County had 284 cases today and 32 admits. 227 people in the hospital. Travis County also just crossed the 40k cases mark today.

Cases skew heavily younger today so that bodes well for future deaths.

I'm not sure how it worked over Thanksgiving. I know they didn't update the Austin dashboard for a couple of days, but I do think they go back and assign cases to they day they were admitted as they should have that data. 

 

Not seeing a huge spike in Austin, sort of just hovering around the bottom of stage 4 for hospitalizations, which I suppose is better than having upward movement from all of the family get togethers and all that. Seems like we're getting pretty close to the end of the window where you'd expect to see a jump in hospital admits.

Yeah, I kinda figured that we need to hold our breath for just a few more days, and we'll know if T-giving gave us a spike or not.

[BrazilHorn 6,576]

Welp, cases for Travis County today were at 272, with a whopping 43 admits. 246 people are hospitalized as of today a jump of 19 from yesterday.

Cases still skewing younger which is a favorable sign in terms of deaths. We keep teetering on edge of a breakout although so far it hasn't fully manifested. (I mean similar to July numbers or those seen in other Texas cities currently)

12/9 Data for Travis County - 256 cases, 47 hospitalized & 265 hospitalized (up 9 from yesterday).

Spike for today's cases skews heavy in the 60+ age groups which is not what we want to see. Bear in mind for 60 to 69 mortality is ~4.5%, 70 to 79 is ~10% and 80+ is ~21%

With those rates in mind the deaths I would project from the spike today are 3-4 deaths. Past two months we have averaged 6.6 deaths/week so this is a big one day potential chunk.

Here is 12/10 view for Travis County. Really shitty day overall with 427 cases today and 54 new hospital admits. 280 folks in the hospital (up 15 from yesterday)

Another not great day in terms of cases or admits for Travis County. 382 cases and 52 admits. This is two days in a row of >50 admits (52 & 54) This is first time that has happened since July 22nd & 23rd so ~5 months since we have seen this level of hospital admits. I would expect when schools close next Thursday in AISD for break that Travis goes into lockdown until new calendar year. Good news is we are at 272 people in the hospital (down 8 from yesterday) and haven't been approaching the range of hospitalizations from July (300-400) so that is encouraging. Deaths are released tomorrow for past week, I would anticipate 10-15 based on admits & age spread the past couple of weeks.

I think this is a pretty cool view that shows Month over Month the % increase in cases across the various demographics. You can see that November was a breakout month and I expect to see December to be similar.

I started tracking age based demographics daily in mid july so that's why for this view the first compare is Sep 1 vs Aug 1. You can see where Travis County had a handled on shit Sep & Oct and then wheels started coming off in November.

@BrazilHorn does this make three days in a row of over 50?

[BrazilHorn 6,576]

Travis County deaths updated. I had called range of 10-15 and we ended up at 11.

For first time in 5 weeks we added a death in the 30 to 39 age range. For first time in 4 weeks we added deaths (2) in the 40 to 49 age category.

The breakout is

30 to 39 (1)

40 to 49 (2)

60 to 69 (3)

70 to 79 (2)

80+ (3)

yes. first time since July 21st - 23rd. We are only a handful of admits below that three day stretch. Prior to that Travis county was running in 60s to 70s a day range. Unfortunately we appear to be ramping up right now. If you look at Travis County admits over past 9 days in 3 separate 3 day groupings you see:

Dec 10 -12 Avg Admits: 54.66

Dec 7 - 9 Avg Admits: 44

Dec 4 -6 Avg Admits: 31.33

So we are definitely moving in the wrong direction in quick step fashion.

[BrazilHorn 6,576]

Cases for yesterday in Travis County, 305 with 34 admits. We are holding steady at 295 people hospitalized.

The 34 admits is the first day in the 30s since last Sunday (12/6 with 32)

Cases yesterday stuck to normal pandemic distribution. On local AISD note, the entire 5th grade class at Casis is having to quarantine due to being exposed to someone who is positive. I have a 5th grader there so good times.

It's really bizarre how the 7-day moving average flattens out for a period then resumes the spike. I guess it speaks to the super-spreader-event nature of the virus where 80% of the cases come from a small number of events or whatever. Or it could just be wonky data reporting processes. Who knows.

I plotted 7 day avg cases vs admits from Mar 18th til present. The admits are on left side Y Axis, the admits on the right side Y axis. I did it this way to more easily show correlation between two. R2 of .962 (No shock - as cases go up, admissions go up)

Holy shit! Travis County's wheels came off. Admittedly Tuesday is normally a true-up day but today's 613 cases is the highest daily case amount since July 9th.

40 admits today and 297 patients (down 4 from yesterday) so the interesting thing will be to look 3-5 days from now and see if admits spike.

Cases skew a touch younger but when you are dealing with this case count it doesn't really matter. It has been since mid August since we had more cases in the 60+ category in a single day so this does not bode well for deaths. From today alone I would expect to see 4-5 deaths. Bear in mind our weekly average the past 8 weeks is 7.5 so this is a big day (potentially). If you are planning on big Christmas trips etc, all I can do is tell you that if you are including anyone at high risk (>60 years old or obese or having another condition) you are taking their lives in your hands.
