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

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

THREAD (about my big day)

Today, I'm happy to say I'm fully vaccinated after receiving my second dose of the Moderna vaccine two weeks ago...

But here's the thing... Vaccines, IMHO, aren't just for the person getting the vaccine.

So let me walk you through why I did this

1/
I did it, in part, for my 11 year old daughter. She and her classmates remain largely unprotected from the virus.

She wants to stay in school. And did not like remote learning.

My vaccine helps keep her and them in the classroom.

2/
I also did it for my mother.

She's fully vaccinated. And now so am I.

She wants to go gambling this weekend in Black Hawk.

I'm taking her.

It's much better than the backyard, often frigid, visits we did for months.

My vaccine allows her to get out of her home.

THREAD

This a plea to journalists.

When someone dies under a pile of officers, the death is NOT an isolated event.

And there are many more deaths than just the death of George Floyd.

Let's start with 4/19/21 death of #MarioGonzalez

Body camera released yesterday

1/
Gonzalez was held prone (on stomach) and handcuffed for multiple minutes before he stopped breathing

Happened in Alameda, CA, day before George Floyd verdict.

It's generated quite a few stories now that body cam is out

2/
 usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
It's natural for people to see this and instantly think of Floyd

But here's the thing,

Our ongoing #PRONE investigation has found dozens of other deaths just like the deaths of Floyd and Gonzalez

How many?

My list now has 118 names. People like Roy Nelson. Died in 2015
