1/26 Texas C19 Update: Here comes the Hospitalization Peak
THREAD:
* Testing metrics peaked between 1/10 & 1/14 and are declining fast as of 1/16
* Thus, Cases reported this week are falling off a cliff
* Hospitalization peak should be 1/26 as I predicted 2 weeks ago?!!!
Tests filed by date specimen collected < 8 days old is incomplete
As of 1/16:
* Pos% declines to 32.71%
* Testing peaked 1/10
* Positive tests peaked 1/12
* Positivity Rate peaked 1/14
* Decline steepening as of 1/16, which is now showing in cases
. 2/n
1/26 - Cases
* Case 7DMA now in a precipitous drop, down to 41K. Confident in saying Case peak was 1/17
* 7DMA rate of decline now at 18%
* Going back to testing @ 1/16 and comparing to reported cases through that date, conversion % indicates Case peak as well

1/26 Hospitalizations - Part 1
As of 1/25:
* Admits 7DMA peak was 1/20, rate of growth (RoG) down to 0.8%. Officially nosed over
* General Census cresting & 1/26 very likely is 7DMA peak
* Census RoG down to 8.4%
* We will know in 2 days if I predicted it to the day
4/n
1/26 Hospitalizations - Part 2
* To finish 4/n, the 1/20 Comp will be the date that determines if 1/26 is 7DMA peak. See chart #4 in 4/n
* ICU census at 2720 & cresting
* Vents also cresting at 1528. Both numbers at or below 2020 Winter wave pace despite 400% more cases
5/n .
So by Friday, well know if my Hosp predictions hit on the nose. I also predicted on 1/18 that the 7DMA peak would be around 13,300 beds. I'll reply with that link.
Sad that part-time randos can figure this stuff out but the "experts" cannot.
Here was my 7DMA census peak prediction of 13,300K. Right now its 13,208. 1 thing I learned was never let holiday numbers influence you. I let MLK weekend cause me to move up my prediction by one day. #Iknowbetterthanthat#neverleaveyourwingman
1/28 Texas C19 Update - So this is what Mahomes felt like when he hit Kelce to beat the Bills in OT
THREAD:
* Testing, Cases & all that
* All my Hospitalization Predictions came true
* Public Health Covid modeling has been pathetic. Atrociously wrong. Politically driven
1/n
1/28 Testing
* As of 1/18/22, everything is in steep decline
* Testing peak was 1/10
* Positives peak was 1/12
* Positivity peak was 1/14
* Its collapsing really fast. Hence we see the same thing in cases in 3/n.
2/n
1/28 - Cases
* Cases in free-fall, 7DMA declining at 25% week over week and increasing
* 7DMA down to 36K, which is still a ridiculous number but not as ridiculous as 52K
* Case 7DMA peak was 1/17
* Declining almost as rapidly as it ascended
* Today is the day. I predicted that hospitalizations through 1/26 would peak in the 7DMA. Is today peak or not? Let's find out.
* No analysis beyond hospitalizations today. See yesterday's update.
* Admits are in decline. 7DMA peak was 1/20
* Gen Hosp Census @ 13360
* Census 7DMA @ 13,252
* Imminent Census peak is evident in image #3
* Whether today is the peak all depends on the number in image #2 below, in green
2/n
1/27 - So is 1/26 peak or what?
* In a 7 day moving average, the 8th day back falls off the average
* So tomorrow, the 1/20 number falls off. That is 13,371, which so far is the census single day peak
* If 1/27 Census number is less than 13,371 then the 7DMA declines
3/n
Tests filed by date specimen collected < 8 days old is incomplete
As of 1/15:
* Pos% rate peaked on 1/14, decline started on 1/15
* Testing peaked on 1/10
* Positive Tests peaked on 1/12
* Cases peaked on 1/17
* Color coded the table with that info
2/n .
1/25 Hospitalizations
* Admits 7DMA likely peaked on 1/20. 1/24 will be the end of its crest, tomorrow starts steep decline
* 1/24 General Census was a hard comp to MLK suppressed number. Tomorrow will begin full crest & rapid decent
* ICU & Vent will crest soon after
. 3/n
* Testing & Cases have already peaked. Will breakdown the dates they peaked in this thread
* Hospitalization Census may have already peaked, 7DMA still tracking with my near 2 week old prediction of peaking on 1/25
* Its downhill from here
Tests filed by date specimen collected < 8 days old is incomplete
As of 1/14:
* Pos% @ 32.90%, which will be peak for the wave
* Positive Tests appeared to peak on 1/12
* Testing appeared to peak on 1/10
* This informs Case peak estimate I'll make on 3/n
2/n
1/24 - Cases
* Case 7DMA big drop to at 46K. Now 7K behind 1/17 peak
* With both Testing in decline starting 1/10 & positivity rate starting 1/14, positive tests are only going down from there
* Case peak of 1/17 (due to batch reporting) likely holds based on the above

“Dopesick” is compulsory viewing because in this age of vaccine mandates – when anything short of unabashed adoration of Big Pharma & govt health agencies, as well as compulsive compliance with their edicts, leaves you ostracized from society…”
“Dopesick”…”lays bare the corrosive corruption of capitalism on “science” and exposes egregious government complicity with a pharmaceutical company that directly led to the tragedy of the opioid epidemic.”
“Remarkably, Purdue… got the FDA to allow the company to put a label on OxyContin saying that danger of addiction was extremely low, despite no studies showing this claim to be true. “
* Covid Hosp Admits 7DMA cresting, this time for real (not MLK induced)
* Census still tracking for 1/25 7DMA peak
* Testing and Positives topped out ~8-10 days ago
* Still believing there is one last Case peak coming

1/22 Testing
Tests filed by date specimen collected < 8 days old is incomplete
As of 1/12:
* Pos% @ 32.75%, testing cresting @ 218K/day
* Positive tests cresting @ 71K/day
* Pos% peak will be between 1/11-14. Weekend arrivals are usually heavy negatives. Will know Monday
2/n
1/22 - Cases
* Cases batched by date received by county
* Case 7DMA hanging around at 48K
* Growth is stalled, but still waiting for the last final peak beyond 52K. Conversion percentage is still not to past case peaks, and still near 70K positives/day end of last week
