2/6 - Texas C19 Wave Severity Analysis

THREAD:

Update to last weeks analysis of C19:
* Hospital Census
* ICU
* Vents
* Fatalities
* CFR

1/n
2/6 TX Severe outcomes - Page 2

* We'll start with a view of all metrics, including Cases
* 2021 Winter Wave cases declining rapidly from their peak - 280% higher than the previous C19 record
* However, C19 hospital census peaked at only 95% of the previous record

2/n
2/6 TX Severe outcomes - Page 3

Now just the hospitalization metrics:

* Left axis = hospital census
* Right axis = everything else
* ICU peaked at 72% of the previous record
* Vents peaked at 52% of the previous record
* Fatalities are actual thru 1/1, projected thru 1/15

3/n
2/6 TX Severe outcomes - Page 4

* Jan 1st 2 weeks are based on 80-95% of them having been reported, & estimating what is left
* 2nd half of January is TBD, but it looks unlikely we see any day over 300 fatalities. Which lines up with the ICU & Vent #s we already know

4/n
2/6 TX Severe outcomes - Page 5

* Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is the rate of cases sent to the State DSHS vs Fatalities attributed to C19
* CFR differs from Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) which estimates all infection - asymptomatic, mildly symptomatic, home tests, etc

5/n
2/6 TX Severe outcomes - Page 6

* I tweaked this chart - CFR now by dividing the 7DMA of (today plus the subsequent 6 days of fatalities) over today's Case 7DMA
* It really smoothed out CFR
* CFR is very accurate through Jan 8. Look how it bottomed out first half of Omicron.
2/6 TX Severe outcomes - Page 7

* CFR @ 0.3% is significantly less than seasonal flu. Let that sink in
* CFR will stay flat through 2nd week of January and then rise but will stay below 1% for most of the month.

7/n
2/6 TX Severe Conclusion

With Cases being 280% of previous record, while ICU/Vents being 72%/52%, I've said it before - Omicron is a casedemic

Will know in a couple of weeks, but fatalities are also looking to come in below previous waves - again despite 280% more cases

8/end

2/5 Texas C19 Update - Cliff Diving

* Declines only steeping statewide
* Covid Hospital admissions plunge
* Record rates of declines everywhere
* Should be a nice spring!

THREAD

1/n
2/5 - Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.

As of 1/26:

* We see the start of the plunge across testing, positivity rate & positive tests
* This manifests in today's case & hospitalization numbers

2/n
.
2/5 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.

* Cases 7DMA @ 21K after a huge drop week over week.
Only 12K cases reported today.
* 7DMA rate of week over week decline sets new record of 38%. Now mid 30%s for the past 7 days
* #plummeting

1/30 - Texas C19 Wave Severity Analysis

THREAD:

Now that we are on the backside of this wave, we can start to focus on severe outcomes and comparisons to previous waves. Well look at

* General Hospitalizations
* ICU
* Vents
* Fatalities
* CFR

1/n
1/30 TX Severe outcomes - Page 2

* We'll start with a view of all metrics, including Cases
* Obviously the 2021 Winter Wave was nothing like we've seen before in regards to Cases
* However, general hospitalizations peaked slightly below the previous 2 waves
#Casedemic

2/n
1/30 TX Severe outcomes - Page 3

* If we eliminate cases, the hospitalization metrics become clear
* Left axis = gen hospitalizations
* Right axis = ICU, Vents, Fatalities
* While Gen hosps are similar, ICU/Vents are going to peak SIGNIFICANTLY lower than previous two waves

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

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

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
1/26 Testing

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 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
