    Would also appreciate seeing a stat of positive cases who recovered. Is that available for Tulare County and California?

      It’s there–155 recovered in Tulare County. There is no data that I’ve seen for recovered cases in California today as some counties have not reported their recovered cases. It’s clear how many people are needed to track and slow this when you think about this data, right? People to track who’s tested positive, track and notify anyone they’ve been in contact with, test those people, and if they’re positive, everyone they’ve come in contact with. It’s a massive undertaking.

    The computer modelling regarding the Covid-19 situation continues to get revised drastically downwards in terms of projected deaths in the US. That’s great…. the fewer the better. But starting at 2.2 million deaths, then 600,000, then 200,000, and now down to 60,000, certainly engenders distrust in the “experts” at CDC and others who are involved in the responses to the outbreak.

    I’m beginning to suspect that those developing the computer models are the same people who told us the Arctic would be ice-free by 2016, the polar bears would be nearly extinct by 2018, and folks going to work in Miami and Lower Manhattan in 2020 would need to wear galoshes due to rising sea levels.

      There’s a really well-researched article in the Atlantic that talks about why these numbers are changing, and the effect on the public–as you say, changing numbers inspire distrust, but actually they reflect science at work, a process which is messier than most of us understand and would like it to be: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/pandemic-confusing-uncertainty/610819/

      Isn’t it interesting to read this comment now, on July 16, 2020, when the death rate in the US Is above 140,000! Guess those model makers weren’t so dumb after all!

    Bill,
    Maybe the lower number is because we Americans Sheltered In Place in large enough numbers that it slowed the contagious disease down and we only (I say this with bowed head because I have not lost anyone like thousands around the country have) have 63,000 + deaths today. That many in what, 8 weeks? More than died in the years of Vietnam War. Sad.

    I express my condolences to all who lost friends and family and gratitude for all the brave souls who stepped up to take care of the sick, feed us, police us, fire fight for us, work in markets and drug stories, pick food for us while the rest of us stay out of the way until a vaccine can save us all. Oh and thank you to the thousands of scientists world wide working on a vaccine. May it come sooner than later.

    The June 5 update indicates 3 mountain cases and implies there in 3 rivers. Couldn’t they be in Springville or Badger or any other small locations on the Tulare county map?

      Those cases are just in the mountain communities in general. We are not getting accurate stats for Three Rivers and I suspect for other parts of
      Tulare County as well. Stay safe.

    Wear your mask everywhere! It’s not a political statement. It just means you want to stay alive a bit longer!

    I appreciate you putting this in paper. The number of Mountain Cases has not been updated for a while; it now stands at 38. Stating that no cases have been reported in Three Rivers is somewhat misleading as the Mountain Cases are not broken down by zip code and Three Rivers could, and probably has had some cases. Lastly, the number of new cases by day seems to be trending downward, clearly showing that mask wearing and social distancing is working.

      Dee: thanks for paying attention to the numbers. The county won’t verify how many cases for Three Rivers. Previously they told me it wasn’t proper protocol to mention specific unincorporporated
      towns unless they had more than 11 cases. It’s probably something different now and they are hoping I’ve quit asking.

    I have several friends around the country who tested positive but never became symptomatic (i.e., never got sick in any way), and I have no acquaintances who tested positive who become symptomatic. I’ve heard that the rate of false-positive tests is rather high, but even allowing for that possibility, I have to ask: Why are the only numbers of so-called case we get from “officials” including all positive-tested folks? Why are those who tested positive but were never symptomatic included in the recovered numbers, considering that they never had anything to recover from? I won’t venture into any of the various theories as to why more accurate info isn’t provided, but something doesn’t smell right.
