2/ All of this is supposed to protect the vulnerable, right?
Yet there are current outbreaks at 135 SNF’s & 73 residential care facilities in NC as of 4/20/21.
Sure, NC is doing a bang up job of protecting the vulnerable 🙄
3/ NC needs to ensure policies/procedures are in place at these facilities to monetarily reward ZERO Covid cases (think reimbursement) to truly protect this vulnerable population. These facilities also need to reduce patient:CNA/nurse ratio.
4/ 10-15 patients per staff is NOT conducive to best patient care practices including hand hygiene (sanitizer going in, gloving, sanitizer upon exit, washing hands after exit).
2/ Overall incidence ⬇️ to 8.17% (⬇️ 0.09%). Overall incidence has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate.
3/ Daily incid = 2.6-10.0% (10.0% = reporting inconsistency; see graph) over last 14 days. Avg daily incid on 3/16 is 3.54%. Avg daily incid each month:
May: 6.8% Nov: 7.4%
June: 7.6% Dec: 10.9%
July: 8.1% Jan: 12.0%
Aug: 6.9% Feb: 7.9%
Sept: 5.7% Mar: 5.2%
Oct: 6.4%
@APDillon_@Chad_Adams@PeteKaliner@jonpsanders@JohnLockeNC 1/ NC SC-2 Trends thru 3/2/21 w/current data (graphs) to reflect real-time trends. NCDHHS modifies dashboard w/# of tests (⬇️’s incidence); adds death data back to 6/20! NCDHHS no longer updating dashboard on wkends.
2/ Overall incidence ⬇️ to 8.37% (⬇️ 0.1%). Overall incidence has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate.
3/ Daily incidence b/w 3.74% & 9.26% (9.26% =reporting inconsistency; see graph) over last 14 days. Avg daily incid on 3/2 =3.96%. Avg daily incid each month: May: 6.80% Sept: 5.69% Jan: 12.01%

1/ @APDillon_@PeteKaliner@jonpsanders@JohnLockeNC@HeagartyWCBOE NC SC-2 Trends thru 2/16/21 including current data/graphs (trends in real time). Discussing thru 2/16 since NCDHHS consistently modifies their dashboard (drives incidence ⬇️). Should be caught up later this wk!
2/ Overall incidence ⬇️ to 8.53% (⬇️ 0.05%). Overall incidence has never been at 5% since testing began; no statistically significant change since the mask mandate.
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
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.”
