1/ @APDillon_ @PeteKaliner @Chad_Adams NC SC-2 data post for 2/9/21 w/comparison to 2/2/21 in parentheses unless otherwise noted. I’m still playing catch-up; will try to be within 2 week window within a week!
2/ But FIRST, let me preface data w/ this: as of 3/9, there are ~26,484 active Covid cases in ALL of NC. This means 0.252% of NC pop has Covid. Said in a different way, 99.747% of NC population does NOT have Covid; that’s roughly 10.463 MILLION people who don’t have Covid.
3/ Via NCDHHS, on 2/9 there were 802,065 (+) cases (⬆️ 37,837) & 730,454 recovered cases (⬆️ 46,757), 10,894 deaths (⬆️ 359), w/2,297 hospitalized (⬇️ 426). There were 60,717 active cases in NC (⬇️ 9,279). NCDHHS continues to backfill/edit tests on their dashboard back ~1 month
4/ (which ⬇️ positivity rate) & edits death data back ~6 months, & is 2 wks behind on case demographic data.

Recovery rate & active case rate continue trending in right direction for 4th consec wk. Hospitals aren’t near capacity. NOTE: as of 3/13/21, vent availability is 75%,
5/ ICU bed availability is 25% at worst (48% at best), and inpatient bed availability is 28% at worst (40% at best). The Duke Health region (DHPC) has 16 ICU beds available while the CapRAC region has 33 ICU beds available, if unstaffed beds aren’t opened up.
6/ Avg wkly incid ⬆️ from 9.8% to 10.1%. 91.1% recovered (⬆️ 1.6%), 1.36% deaths (⬇️ 0.02%) & 7.57% active cases (⬇️ 1.6%). Out of 9,344,477 completed tests there were 802,065 (+) cases, w/8.58% overall incid (⬆️ 0.03%); 13th ⬆️ in overall incid in 13 wks.
7/ Prevalence is 7.65% (⬆️ 0.36%).

On 2/9 there were 2,786 (+) cases out of 42,066 tests, w/6.62% incidence. Rolling 14-day incidence avg is 9.95% (⬇️ 0.47%). Avg deaths per day = 51.29 (⬇️ 23). 43.45% of all deaths in NC are in congregate settings (SNF, RCF, CF) - ⬆️ 0.51%).
8/ For 0-17 yrs, 12% of all cases have been ID’d w/3 deaths overall. For 18-24 yrs, 14% of all cases have been ID’d, w/12 deaths overall.

CFR = 1.37%, mortality rate = 0.104% (⬆️ 0.005%). If all NC active cases were solely in Wake County, incidence would be 5.36% (⬇️ 0.82%).
9/ At quick glance, avg wkly incidence is ~10.3% over last 3 wks, overall & avg wkly incidence & prevalence ⬆️. Avg daily incidence, # of active cases, hospitalizations, & deaths/day ⬇️.

I believe we are continuing to see testing of true (+) patients & seasonality of this virus
10/ (typical w/pneumonia & flu too). NCDHHS website shows curves w/previous yrs’ flu data as compared to Covid. The curves reflect what I stated 7 wks ago - seasonality & practically non-existent flu this year. They also show curves between NC regions that are almost identical,
11/ both in NC & throughout USA. The website also shows age groups admitted to hospital w/Covid, but fails to show comorbidities w/these age groups.
12/ Continued NCDHHS website issues: not showing # recovered/incorporating into stats, recovery #’s by demographics, differentiation b/w symptomatic/asymptomatic cases, deaths/hospitalizations w/comorbidities, & rolling 14-day incid avg. NC uses PCR Ct ~37; high % of false (+).

1/ “... and he said that the school had taken legal advice and been told that they needed to be ‘seen’ to be mitigating risk.”

I believe that wholeheartedly.
2/ Ystrdy my kids had issue w/schl staff taking temp. Each time they’ve gone (today is day #5 since 3/13/2020; NOT by choice but b/c GOVERNOR won’t allow back in schl) they’ve had it taken from car, in ~30°-40° F, at wrist by request. 1 time got puzzled look but request was met.
3/ Yesterday was different. We made the wrist request, a teacher said, “I was told to take it at the forehead,” and started to walk toward the car and point the gun at Thing 2’s forehead. I yelled, “NO” and she stopped. She said, “We have to do it at the forehead.”

1/ Cooper presser. Covid metrics. <1000 cases yesterday. Vax “fast and fair.” Huge milestone. Soon we can hug our loved ones w/out fear of severe illness.” (Aside: some of us never stopped/needed you permission to hug our loved ones.) Thanks vax administrators. We got nat’l recog
2/ for being fast/fair. More schls returning to in-person learning. Others pressing to get kids in schls. It’s a priority. (Aside: if it really was a priority, Cooper could mandate Plan A & tells districts to #FigureItOut.) More signs of hope. Positivity rate consistently ~5%.
3/ Hispitalizations ⬇️. But we can’t stop preventative efforts. Until vax widely available, can’t relax. One day soon we can turn corner. (Aside: when will that be, Cooper?!? Give us DATA/TARGET or you’re going out of constitutional authority to keep us closed.) Vax event in

1/ @APDillon_ @Chad_Adams @PeteKaliner @JohnLockeNC @jonpsanders NC SC-2 Trends through 2/2/21 including current data on graphs to show how things are trending in real time. Discussing thru 2/2 since NCDHHS consistently modifies their dashboard (drives incidence down).
2/ Overall incidence has ⬆️ for the 12th wk to 8.55% (⬆️ 0.08%). Overall incidence has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate. Image
3/ Daily incid fluctuated b/w 6.87% & 16.5% (reporting inconsistency) over last 14 days. Jan avg daily incid is 12.0% (⬆️ 1.1% compared to Dec, stat sig). Avg daily incid each month:
May: 6.8% Sept: 5.7% Jan: 12.0%
June: 7.6% Oct: 6.4%
July: 8.1% Nov: 7.4%
Aug: 6.9% Dec: 10.9% Image

1/ Cooper presser: NC metrics, vaccines (65+ and frontline workers). 3/10 more people eligible. More stdts returning to classroom. Getting kids into classrooms critical for their health. Schools serving 96% is stdts will offer in-school instruction (fails to mention NOT plan A).
2/ SB37: reiterates why he won’t sign, but doesn’t say he’ll veto. (Aside: if it really was about the KIDS, why is he stringing them along? Playing politics w/kids’ lives has deleterious long-term effects.) NC trends ⬇️ & stabilized. Cohen: we’ve used data to guide approach.
2/ NC can be proud of our data quality/transparency. 🙄 Bloomberg rated NC as best in nation on vax race/ethnicity quality. (Aside: this doesn’t mean NC doing well w/vax rollout. Shows data/graphs that eerily resemble other historical virus graphs. Hospitalizations still high.

1/ @APDillon_ @JohnLockeNC @NC_Governor @SecMandyCohen Let’s discuss NC Executive Order 180 (governor.nc.gov/documents/exec…) and the evidence/studies cited for having stricter guidelines, shall we?
2/ 1.1st study cited published 6/16/20: data examined included (+) rates 3/31-5/22 anywhere from 1-21 days after mask mandate. Study cites ⬆️ mask use/mandates for 15 states, DC, + 29 counties & NYC. See graphs to compare a few things: timeframe, curve shapes & timeframe to
3/ today (DE, MD, MA). Then compare to some states w/o mandates (SD, GA, SC). Then compare to NC w/our mandate effective on 6/30.
