CASES

Nearing 3500 a day average
DEATHS

Now hitting 11 deaths per day
(*don't pay too much attention to far right side of chart as death reports take time to get in)
What's it all mean?

We're at the steep growth part of this pandemic.

Nope, still not panicking.

But holy cow it's speeding up, folks.
Bottom line

We still have weeks left of growth here (w/hospitalizations)

Deaths are rising.

Cases have skyrocketed

And positivity is 5xs higher than Sept lows

Take care folks. Ain't gonna get easier anytime soon.

I'd like to walk you through the process we've gone through for our investigation #PRONE

To review, we have found at least 107 deaths of people who died shortly after being held facedown and handcuffed.

Here are 100 of their faces.

Like many investigations, this one started with another.

Last year, I started looking into the 2018 death of David Baker.

Baker, a Navy veteran, died shortly after several Aurora police officers pinned him to the ground after a violent confrontation.

2/ Image
According to the coroner's report, Baker died of "restraint asphyxia"

He died, in essence, because he couldn't breathe enough air in and out of his body.

THREAD on mask use

Yes... I know...

But...

Let's take a look at Adams County. Remember Adams. It's moving to Safer Level 3 today because of, in part, high incidence rates.
Adams is clearly having a problem with cases. More so than Arapahoe (red) and Douglas (blue)

This comes from TriCounty Health
I think the simplistic thought might be...

well... maybe they're not wearing masks enough...

BUT... fortunately for the purposes of this thread, TriCounty has spent weeks analyzing mask use by trying to count, observationally, mask use.

This is going to get a bit messy.
