COVID Community Vulnerability Map Identification of the populations at risk for severe outcomes once infected to inform resource planning, interventions, outreach and other community initiatives

[vespa300]

What are some of the benefits that can be realized by leveraging the COVID Community Vulnerability Map?

Quick identification of those communities where individuals are at risk for experiencing severe outcomes once infected
Ability to plan allocation of resources to those communities predicted to require hospitalization and significant medical intervention
Reduction in bed utilization by the most at-risk population for morbidity/mortality as a result of proactive outreach
Understanding of top social determinants of health factors driving risk for those communities

[gibsonguy]

Yes it’s totally misleading. It does not chart how likely your area is to get it. It charts your areas ability to cope with an outbreak. In fact if it shows your area to be among the areas most vulnerable it also means your area is unlikely to have an outbreak.

What is the COVID Vulnerability Community Map?

The COVID Community Vulnerability Map is a publicly available interactive map that identifies pockets of individuals and communities across the U.S. at risk for experiencing severe outcomes ranging from hospitalization to mortality as a result of contracting a respiratory infection like COVID.

The map also provides the socioeconomic factors influencing that risk. These insights can help inform providers, public health organizations and community support agencies as they look to deploy interventions, outreach and other services to keep individuals from contracting the virus and once infected manage towards a positive outcome.

So much for accuracy, my zip code showed up across the river in the wrong county.

Jvion’s COVID Community Vulnerability Map delivers:

An interactive and searchable map of the U.S. that allows users to drill down to the census block group level
Visibility into the pockets of individuals and communities that once infected are at-risk of experiencing severe outcomes
Insights into the socioeconomic factors that put them at particular risk for severe course of illness
Points of interest including Hospitals, Healthcare, Transportation, and Food Sources in relationship to each community

Thanks for posting. Just another tool to use to keep informed.

We are in lowest risk category, but just down the road, it jumps all the way to highest risk category. There are no big changes in the neighborhood, so that is just weird...and suspicious.

My neighborhood is rated "high" according to the color code. This makes no sense as we are suburban houses that are not right next to each other. Across the street the next neighborhood is across a county line and is rated "low". Judging by the # of cars in the driveways and street, that neighborhood has lots of people (illegals) living in single houses. I can scarcely drive through that neighborhood because the streets are down to one lane because of the excess vehicles. They should have been "high".

That map looks completely wrong to me. It has Cumberland County, the area in Maine hardest hit as low risk, and next door Oxford county with only a few cases as high risk

It has the Bronx as low risk.

Crazy risk values in my area. The extremely
highest risk is nearly all mountain wilderness area!
I guess it is dangerous to go cross country skiing now. An avalanche will bury you in virus laden snow.

I tested 5 zip codes. All came up perfect.

[null and void]

NYC is listed as "low risk"?

'nuff said!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

When are the counties going to report the number of cases by area of residence in each county?

According to this website, my county is rated low, but the area to the north of our house is rated high.

It would seem prudent for the county health departments to give the areas within each county where a person is known to have contracted the corona virus.

Color me skeptical. Somebody went wild with a correlation of de-identified patient data on respiratory infections.

When they identify an area that is almost all wildlife refuge down in the river bottom as high risk their credibility is lost to me.

I’m calling bull shit on this one.

I suspect gooberment waste.

LOL. At least you have to go cross country skiing to get killed. All I have to do is walk to the end of the street.

[proust]

GIGO.

Thanks. This is the money line regarding the data. They are focusing on socioeconomic factors so the government can make sure they overdeploy resources to those people who regularly vote for DEMOCRATS.

There are a LOT of rank amateur "data scientists" out there who don't know which end of the hammer to pick up. I suspect one of these hobbyist types is at work here.

[Sequoyah101]

Maybe so. The internet allows just about anyone to publish an opinion or “facts” even if they are wrong. Guilty as charged I suppose.

The problem is that so many have so little discernment.

[SoCal Pubbie]

This map is putting me in high risk but the factors listed don’t add up. It’s suspect imho.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Same for me, my area is extremely low risk, but about two miles from us is one of our hispanic enclaves (and a place I lived in when I first moved here in 1981), and it has the highest risk possible. Lots of people in each residence, a community that hangs out (I still see them out doing things together).
