THREAD:

Highlights for 8/10:

1) PCR Pos% in tentative 8/6 peak
2) Rates of growth decline
3) Hospitalizations running hot
4) New Fatality projections
5) Breakdown on 84 reported fatalities

1/n
.
8/10 Positivity Rates:

* PCR forming a August 6 peak. Unlike last Tuesday when new high was set, today only 3rd highest of the past 4 days. Not ready to call it quite yet, but it lines up with the Rt peaks. About time.
* Antigen peak still 8/1. Declining strongly now.

2/n
.
8/10 Rate of Growth Analysis:

* Put all three in one chart. Easy to see trend
* PCR Pos% rate of growth down to 4.2%
* Case rate of growth down to 25.2%
* Hosps rate of growth down to 41%

PCR & Case rates of growth declining rapidly. Hopefully hosps do same shortly

3/n
.
8/10 Cases:

* Per 3/n rate of growth continues to decrease.
* Rate of growth declines 6 of past 8 days
* 13K+ cases reported today
* 7DMA reaches 10.5K cases per day
* ~8/15 Peak still a possibility?

4/n
.
8/10 Hospitalizations

* Still running hot, big jump today to over 10K beds & almost 16% of total beds in state
* Still running behind 2020
* Am looking at leading hosp indicators at CDC & in Houston, possible cooling off is coming?
* Next couple of days data is crucial

5/n
.
8/10 Fatalities Part 1:

* Primer in 8/n
* 2021 Summer numbers thru 7/19, 2020 Summer thru 6/20. 13 months apart.
* Many revisions downward (explained in 7/n).
* 2021 Summer has 15.2% fewer projected fatalities than 2020, and 26.5% fewer actual fatalities.

6/n
.
8/10 Fatalities Part 2:

* 84 reported today, up from 51 last Tuesday
* Rinse & Repeat on the pattern of arrivals being almost all less than 2 weeks old
* July 2021 fatalities not coming in as expected vs hosp line, or as previous waves would predict.

7/n
.
8/10 Fatalities Part 3 - projections:

* The original primer - go to yesterday's update
* See tweet below from last Tuesday
* Bunch of revisions downward for Days in Arrears (DiA) 14-42.
* Have yet to under-project a single day through DiA 49

8/n
.
8/10 Conclusion:

* PCR Pos% Rate appears to have peaked on 8/6
* Antigen stays at 8/1
* Case growth is decelerating quickly
* Hospitalizations, look for deceleration in next 2-3 days
* Fatalities T-3 weeks, still not coming in as expected with this qty of hospitalizations

9/end

8/9 Texas C19 Pos%, Case, Hosp & Fatality update:

THREAD:

Highlights for 8/9:

1) Rates of growth continue to slow
2) PCR typical Monday showing a peak, but rate of growth almost zero
3) Cases flattening?
4) Hospitalizations rate of growth slowing
5) Fatality breakdown

8/9 Rate of Growth Analysis

* PCR Positivity Rate of growth is nearly zero, lowest since June 16
* Case Rate of growth is slowest since July 7
* Hospitalization rate of growth is slowest since July 18

2/n
.
8/9 Positivity Rate

* Antigen peak holds at Aug 1. Now 8 days of declines
* PCR now 2 days of decline, an Aug 6 peak
* However, we've seen this before after a weekend. Tomorrow will be key to see if PCR Peak holds. With rate of growth ~ zero, better chance of this.

8/5 Texas C19 Pos%, Case, Hosp & Fatality update:

THREAD:

Highlights for 8/5:
1) Antigen Pos% peaked on 7/30, PCR still stubbornly fighting a crest
2) Cases still in steep climb
3) Hospitalizations also steep but less so than 2020 Summer wave
4) Fatality arrival breakdown

1/n
8/5 Positivity Rate:

* Antigen 100% confirmed in post-peak. Peak is currently 7/30. The peak date might shift a day or two, but the peak has occurred. Calling it.
* PCR Pos% fighting the crest. Barely 1 point of growth in 6 days. Its imminent.

2/n
. ImageImage
8/5 Cases:

Another 10K+ day, with 10912 reported. Still a high rate of growth. With Antigen in decline & PCR cresting, we look for decreased rate of growth in Cases. Next 2 days will be telling.

7DMA almost near 2020 Summer peak, a product of huge testing increase.

If you test positive...in New Zealand, prepare to be shipped out to a [government] quarantine camp. Same is happening with vaccines, w/ new edicts from governments that...no one unvaccinated will be allowed to enter buildings or eat in restaurants.

[The West is] resurrecting a...pre-modern ethos of how society deals with...infectious disease....That it is in fact happening is indisputable. We are hurling ourselves...toward a new system of castes, created in the name of disease mitigation.

8/4 Texas C19 Pos%, Case, Hosp & Fatality update:

THREAD:

Virtually the same highlights as yesterday (see Q/T below). This next week we are going to see the highest case & hospitalization growth rates of the curve, before it starts to crest mid-month. Hold on tight.

1/n
.
8/4 Positivity Rate:

* Antigen pos% still in post-peak, even if flat yesterday. Will be surprised if peak doesn't hold.
* PCR still in-peak. Yesterday's revisions nudged it up, but now 6 days with virtually no growth rate.

2/n
.
8/4 Cases:

Another huge day on raw case counts, mostly driven by big testing numbers, way more testing than during last year's wave. (Hence why Positivity is only 17+%. Last year hit 20%)

15K cases reported today, way ahead of 2020. #casedemic continues.

"As for a step to “end this pandemic,” based on the numbers, that is happening...unless we are going for a pipe dream of total elimination rather than endemicity. Not even universal vaccination will achieve elimination, as even the CDC is saying now"
