1/27 Texas C19 Brief update: Hospitalization Peak???

* 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.

1/n
1/27 - Let's look at the numbers first

Through 1/26:

* 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
1/27 - Final thoughts and conclusion

* Admits past 2 days indicate its possible we see a Census < 13,371
* If I miss, likely will be by 1-2 days
* Either way, this Covid wave forecasting isnt really that hard if you spend time on it & can analyze data. #PublicHealthModelingsucks

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 ImageImageImageImage
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

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?!!!

1/n

* Decline steepening as of 1/16, which is now showing in cases
.
2/n ImageImageImage
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
* #ovah

1/24 Texas C19 Update:

THREAD:

* 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

1/n
1/24 Testing

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. “
