THURSDAY #COVID19Colorado update

Headline: It ain't much. But all three metrics went down today. So... I'll take it... And yeah, that includes hospitalizations

HOSPITALIZATIONS
covid+ ONLY

Today: 661 (down 5)
Last week: 628

#9news
POSITIVITY

7-day below 5.5!
(only deserves one !)
CASES

Headed in right direction
VACCINE

TWO MILLION Coloradans fully vaccinated! Woohoo!

35.1% of state (essentially) FULLY vaccinated

(Yes... I use total population... not just those eligible)
One more thing

Colorado's case counts are ELEVATED when compared to rest of US.

In fact, according to NYT we're tied for 2nd highest count in US

(h/t to @AnnaHewson1 for pointing this out)
What does it mean?

Colorado has YET to show the sustained decline the rest of the country has.

Our case counts are about a THIRD of Nov peak, but we're still elevated.
It all makes Colorado an outlier.

Our hospitalizations aren't going down much

and our cases remain high

I'm curious a to the reasons why.

But won't offer any thoughts right now

Anyhoo... take care. And let's see what tomorrow brings

Let's talk about this weekend's raid of a Colorado Springs nightclub -- what we know -- and what we don't

(there's more of the latter and less of the former)

Clearly... the DEA remains very proud of what happened. But there appears to be more to this story.

Here's a pic

1/ Image
Critically, the raid has been widely shared by the current Administration as a success story. And, it might very well be. But it's also NOT CLEAR exactly why it was a success

Why's that? Because as of now, the raid has (sorta) resulted in one criminal case against US soldier

2/ Image
Orona-Rodriguez was one of "approximately 17 active-duty U.S. Army service members" present at the afterhours, "unlawful" nightclub known as Warike.

Curiously, he was NOT arrested the night of the raid. Why? Don't know. He was arrested Wednesday evening -- 3+ days later

You'd think more than 48 hours after the start of the ICE raids in Denver/Aurora we'd know just how many people were detained/taken into custody.

We don't

And that's now the story

Let's talk about it. Two days ago the feds said it was trying to arrest 100 TDA members

1/ Image
Yesterday, we asked ICE how many were detained

Seemed like a simple request. FOX News, after all, had reported 30. Keep in mind, FOX had a reason to know. They had a team embedded with ICE on Wednesday.

Problem is... 30 was NOWHERE near 100

2/
 foxnews.com/media/trump-bo…
But what's even more telling is that, as of now, ICE has confirmed that just ONE TDA member was detained Wednesday

1 is quite a bit less than the 100 they wanted

(We also don't know how they concluded there were 100+ TDA targets to begin with)

Let's talk about some of the reporting on the ICE raids that took place in Denver/Aurora yesterday.

There are clearly some inaccuracies circulating online right now

Let's start with this one

It's categorically not true.

(this aired this morning on @FoxNews)

1/ Image
Later this morning, reporter @BillMelugin_ reported what ICE, for some inexplicable reason, has only shared with him (and his crew that was embedded with ICE yesterday)

He reported 30 arrests. Only ONE TDA member

This makes sense based upon what our crews saw yesterday

2/
The low number of arrests has led some to imply that the migrants had to be tipped off...

The embedded Fox crew, for example, seemed to be surprised to see a @9news crew already at a raid location when they arrived in Thornton.

Let's talk about this for a moment

The man accused of murdering two and injuring two others along the 16th St. Mall over the weekend has a complicated past.

One that's already led to some confusion.

I'd like to share what we've learned today about Elijah Caudill, 24, in this THREAD

1/ Image
A few things are clear

Caudill is a convicted felon who has spent time in both state prison system and in various jails since 2021

He was paroled in Aug 23 after a 4.5 months in prison on a THEFT case.

His first arrest as an adult came in 19. For stealing baseball cards

2/ Image
That case was dropped. Things escalated in 2021 when a propety manager told Westminster police Caudill threatened him with a knife before saying, "I will cut your f---ing throat"

Felony menacing charges followed.

So did an 24 months probation.

Thousands of times every year, for many years, the largest provider of health care in Colorado has elected to do this.

Send process servers to the doors of their patients in search of money.

Money @UCHealth says its owed.

BUT... there seems to be a problem

A 🧵 Image
Let's start with the basics.

UCHealth is a MAJOR provider of care. It cares for millions every year.

So, yes, it is suing a small percentage of its patients for what it says are unpaid medical bills.

But... even a small lawsuit can be a BIG problem for its patients.

2/ Image
UCHealth has long insisted its litigation practices aren't unusual.

"Our practices are pretty consistent with other systems across Colorado and across the country" their Chief Legal Officer told me in January

But... are they???

You're going to notice a giant mug shot on the stage with the former President today.

I want to talk a little about who that is... Mostly because you're going to see it a lot today

Here he is with @RepBoebert

A quick THREAD

1/ Image
His name is Jose Miguel Reyes-Perez

Earier this year, Lakewood Police arrested him on a felony menacing/vehicle theft case

A tow truck driver said Perez "pointed the rifle" at him.

Police believe he and another were trying to steal a motorcycle, according to arrest report

2/ Image
Aurora Police arrested him on an outstanding warrant on May 22.

That warrant was from JeffCo. He'd been released on a $5000 PR bond, acc to court records, in Feb.

Court records show he was supposed to be arragined in Jefferson County but failed to appear on August 5.
