* While the dam is breaking on mandates and I hope they wash away in a flood,
* Still going to monitor the collapse of Omicron throughout the state
* Good riddance, yet Thank You Omicron, and here's why...
2/9 - Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.
As of 1/30:
* Positivity rate 7DMA had declined to 25% and was about to start losing a point a day, every day
* Feb testing numbers will be a straight line down
2/n .
2/9 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.
Case 7DMA
* now down to 13.8K
* has been down 1/3rd or more from the previous week (WoW) for 11 straight days
* Today down 50% WoW - a 1st in 2 years of watching (outside of winter storms or holidays)
3/n .
2/9 - Hospitalizations
* Covid Admissions free fall continues to accelerate, 7DMA now down 28% week over week (WoW)
* Covid General Census 7DMA down 18% WoW, and there's more where that came from
* Covid % of total beds below 15% at 14.91%
4/n .
2/9 Severe Hospitalizations
* Same comments as 2/7:
* ICU & Vent peaks by far the lowest of any wave
* ICU & Vent in steep decline
* 2020 Winter ICU & Vent comparisons to 2021 will be very favorable towards 2021 in regards to outcomes. 2020 #s will leave 2021 in the dust
5/n
2/9 - Conclusion
* Buh Bye Omicron
* Yours was a bright but brief appearance on the Covid stage
* But I thank Omicron for finally laying waste to the Zero-Covid Paradigm, for virusing through Covid Mandate Theater, & for exposing Vaxports as sheer Idiocracy!

2/7 - Test reporting is by date of specimen collection, you have to wait ~10 days for a date to be ~90-95% in.
As of 1/28:
* Huge plunge underway across testing, positivity rate & positive tests
* Upcoming incomplete days show a decline of ~1% a day in positivity rate
2/n .
2/7 - Cases are simply reported as they are received by the counties.
* Cases 7DMA re-enters somewhat normal Covid territory @ 18K
* 7DMA rate of week over week decline continues in the mid 30s %, now 9 consecutive days. Unprecedented rate of decline.
* 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
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
* 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
* 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
