The top public health official in Los Angeles County blamed massive protests for a spike in coronavirus cases.

Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer told the Los Angeles Times it was "highly likely" that the demonstrations, meant to protest against police brutality and racial injustice, contributed to the significant spike in COVID-19 cases in the city.

“The virus is not done with us,” Ferrer said.

More than 2,000 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in Los Angeles County each day for the past three days. In the past two weeks, there were 46,735 new cases of coronavirus infection in the entire state of California, accounting for more than one-third of the state's cases since the pandemic began. The positive test rate climbed statewide, with a jump from 5.8% to 8.4% in Los Angeles County. By comparison, the rate in New York, which was the hardest-hit state in the country, has fallen below 1%.

I thought it was racist to blame anything bad on Floyd protests.

The virus is spreading rapidly in Mexico and central America and border crossings of illegals have surged. They come to the USA knowing that they can get free emergency care. And the virus is spreading rapidly in the border states of Arizona, Texas and California.

Jus sayin.

Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church! This has never been about our health and our families health.

To: RummyChick; All

I see MD’s and clinic staff more often than not process medical statistics poorly including CDC offices. Data talent is scooped up by cash rich pharmcos, for example, Pfizer, Bayer, etc leaving government offices and hospitals scampering for data expertise, usually as an afterthought. It’s never important until it’s important and then it’s left to the number cruncher that was there when it wasn’t important. Recipe for disaster.

No doubt the test fractions are computed correctly as simple arithmetic. But that’s not describing what’s in play here.

The question of interest is not whether the fraction of positives is increasing. The question of interest is whether the fraction of cases is increasing more than expected. The modeling of expectation is where the experienced talent is found lacking.

Given an uptick in cases without adjusting before and after expectation estimates will most certainly mask an underlying change that would otherwise explain the uptick.

An uptick of 4.5% to 19% among 600 recent tests is not surprising and is of no concern to those that understand distributional processes.

Texas reopened. Those that were shuttered in close quarters are now coming out, appearing for medical appointments, testing for SARS-COV-2. The before and after reopening pool of test subjects is not homogeneous.

A reasonable assumption, and by now verifiable, is that families shuttered together are positive for SARS-COV-2 if at least one member was positive. It is therefore reasonable and quantifiable to analyze the Data in group clusters as opposed to independent subjects.

An analogy would be counting the number of vehicles running stop signs. We will see different results if we count violations by total passengers including drivers versus counting vehicles or just drivers. Think of a bus carrying dozens of passengers failing to come to a complete stop and flagged as having run a stop sign. The data tallies the bus as dozens of people having run a stop sign rather than as a single vehicle failing to come to a complete stop.

Thus, the numbers coming out of Texas should be of no concern if they are accounted for properly.

What should be of major concern, overriding concern, is the blatantly ‘evil suppression of the prophylactic regimen that prevents SARS-COV-2 from progressing to COVID-19.

HCQ + Zn + Zpac (Zpac only if symptomatic)

This is reinforced by a Texas MD who should be all over the news several times a day but isn’t. Here she is in a 4-min video:

WATCH!
