BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Sarah Nafziger, M.D., vice president of UAB Hospital Clinical Services, said Thursday that Alabama now has the highest COVID positivity rate in the country.
Nafziger said the reasons are the Delta variant and Alabama’s low vaccination rate.
According to the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), Alabama’s percent positive rate is 21.5% as of July 29, 2021. The statewide percentage of Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAATs) that were positive during the past seven days was 21.5. According to ADPH, 49,661 COVID-19 tests were performed in the past 7 days in Alabama.
The percent positive number is something state health leaders keep an eye on because it paints a picture of what’s happening with COVID-19. Assistant state health officer Dr. Karen Landers says that number must go down now for us to start getting a handle on the situation.
“That is really in my opinion an unsustainable number. We must intervene. We must really look individually how we can protect ourselves. We must really take advantage of the mitigation standards that I hope none of us would have to back to.” Dr. Landers with ADPH said.
This is how ADPH describes this data: “Laboratories are required by law to report both positive and negative COVID-19 test results to ADPH. To accurately calculate the percentage of positive test results, both numerator and denominator data are needed. Only nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) methods are included in this calculation. A NAAT is a type of viral diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. NAATs detect genetic material (nucleic acids) of the virus. The date is assigned by the collection date and represents the percent that were positive during the past seven days as of that date. Data are preliminary and subject to change.”
Nafziger said people are starting to fill up hospitals again and 97 percent of the people who are being treated for COVID-19 are unvaccinated.
The average age of admitted COVID-19 patients is about 55 years old. She said the difference is Alabama’s older population, 65 and older, took the vaccine. That is keeping them out of the hospital.
Nafziger said almost every one of the patients in the hospital who did not get the vaccine, now said they wish they had.
Nafziger said if case numbers continue to grow, UAB doctors will have to cancel or postpone elective procedures because they will need the beds.
“To me it’s like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. We have a parachute, why would you jump out of an airplane without a parachute?” Asked Nafziger.

There are several people around here who had BOTH shots down at Wallyworld and have hit positive for the Red China Virus. Damned things don’t work.
Alabama….. no wonder….they are full of mouth-breathers so they get extra daronavirus particles.
According to this website only 6 deaths yesterday in bama and 1500 or so new cases.

Today’s numbers aren’t out yet.
The reason we’re labeled number one is that we are open again and the overlords don’t like that.

Annnnd Meemaw is frustrated with our lack of compliance. Where are the stats that support her claims? Uhmmm. That’s right. Fauxi/the CDC keep(s) flip-flopping and manipulating the data. BTW ~ Her name appeared on the list of states’ governors who are considered ‘friendly’ to Chyna.
“Folks s’posed to have common sense. But it’s time to start blamin’ the unvaccinated folks not the regular folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that’re lettin’ us down... I can encourage you to do somethin’, but I can’t make you take care of yourself.”

...and Auburn requires masks in campus vehicles, shuttles, and busses. We’ll see how much more they’ll require from the latest wave of fearporn.
Hi.
How many deaths per infection? Per Capita?
5.56mm

Good question I was wondering myself. And that “answer” doesn’t really specify it.
I would assume the test’s samples are sent out - but can a sequencing be done of each one that quickly for the data that is coming out? Or is just a small sampling of the overall tests they are doing this to and they are making estimates based on that?
If everyone would stop getting tested, “cases” would drop.
Or, alternatively, if everyone started getting tested, the infection “rate” would drop.
Hospitalization numbers and rates matter more than “cases.”
Were number 1, Were number 1, Were number 1, Were number 1, Were number 1
Go BAMA. - please no one tell grandma Ivey. She sucks as governor!

I call BS unless tornadoes went though the trailer parks again.
It’s Alabama. The thought might be, ‘Let’s get the herd immunity in before football season starts.’
“Cookie baking grandma governor is going to initiate a lockdown and mask mandate. Bank on it.”
Gas Tax Grannie will end any hope she has of being reelected if she does that.
It’s already going to be hard enough as it is with the neverending, always increasing gas tax she signed.
“There must be bodies everywhere.”
Yep, I have to step over bloated rotting corpses all over the place. 🙄
A 'royal' we or are you in on this 'we'? Come on tells US who you actually represent ... sure is a ruse to pretend it is 2a cause.
“Our stats are crap.”
All of the stats are crap. Every figure since this all started is crap because of the money involved.
