The sharp ⬆️ in August was driven by 30 non-white deaths
(vs. 10 white deaths).

Death rate 2.5x ⬆️ in non-whites.

SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
1/9

Please be advised that the @CDCgov covid tracker trend data on #COVID19 by age in Texas are WRONG. CDC draws case data from their case line data file, and TX has reported age on only 3% of total cases.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
2/9

CDC graphic is inadequately footnoted and does not disclose the very low case count behind their trend chart.

Their chart displays no new cases in TX in past 4 months!

@CDCgov should remove this highly inaccurate graphic from their website.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS

COVKID Project estimates child/teen cases in TX every week using total cases from TX dashboard, and % child/teen from Harris County. Thank you @hcphtx for doing the job your state health dept has neglected! 🙏🏽

Latest data from NCHS reveal disturbing racial/ethnic disparities in #COVID19 mortality among kids and young adults.

We've tried to be more phone-friendly, but still best viewed on a larger screen. Expanded dashboard:
covkidproject.org/disparities
❗️12-AUG-2021 UPDATE❗️ 2/7

Of 353 reported deaths, 28% were white, & 72% were non-white, mostly Hispanic & Black children.

Caveat: NCHS death counts are << CDC-Atlanta counts due to different data sources & reporting lags. #epitwitter

The COVKID team has a new research study out today in @AMJPublicHealth, as part of a special issue called "When Dying Really Counts:"

Out-of-Hospital COVID-19 Deaths: Consequences for Quality of Medical Care and Accuracy of Cause of Death Coding

1/16
ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…
We found that 🇺🇸children (younger than 18 years) were most likely (30.5%) and elders aged 64 to 74 years were least likely (10.4%) to die out of hospital or in the emergency department from #COVID19.

Why does dying from #COVID19 in the ED matter? Isn't that technically "in the hospital?"

No, it's not. Patients who die in the ED were critically ill before they arrived. They accessed medical care too late!

Some thoughts on possible reasons at the end of this thread.
