CORONAVIRUS IN ONE STATE (111)
In yesterday’s data, the authorities attributed 14 deaths to COVID-19. Thirteen of the 14 new deaths occurred among residents of long-term or congregate care facilities. This seems accurately to represent the current state of the epidemic in Minnesota. On days when the number of new deaths jumps, congregate care settings predominate. Over the the three preceding days, the authorities reported four new deaths (10/6, one LTC), 14 new deaths (10/7, 9 LTC), and 8 new deaths (10/8, six LTC) to the epidemic.
Although the long-term care facilities are under the thumb of the authorities, they attribute the fatalities among LTC residents to staff bringing it in from outside. It’s not their fault. It’s our fault. I guess that’s why we’re all under the thumb of the authorities.
The authorities continue to instill fear by highlighting case numbers. In yesterday’s press briefing (audio below), Health Commissioner Malcolm emphasized that the median age of new cases has risen from 35 to 36. Malcolm did not mention that the median age of COVID-19 decedents remains 83 or that the median age of decedents from all causes is about 79.
When Governor Walz declared a statewide emergency and issued his sweeping lockdown order on March 25, hospital capacity was the stated rationale. He anticipated 74,000 deaths
