Are you serious? You seem dangerously self-absorbed and misinformed. Your original comment referred to CALIFORNIA. Now you are arguing about Santa Clara hospitalizations (a very lagging indicator), which is many levels different from your original (and incredibly incorrect) point.

Santa Clara plus SF is 4 million people, and represents most of NorCal. If what I said is incorrect, why don't you provide some actual data?

You are monumentally misinformed. You have cherry picked parts of California that are handling the surge the best. Why don't you look South? Oh that's right, it disproves your point.

What information vacuum do you live in that makes you think that your statement is true?

The official Santa Clara stats, as linked above, which represents 4 million people, most of NorCal. That's right - 72 people hospitalized for corona for 4 million people. What crisis? What are you reading?

I am not limiting my analysis to Santa Clara because I am not deluding myself.

I'll just put the data in front of you and let you decide: https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/en/test Go to the chart for California. Percent positive tests and hospitalizations are the most important factors here. Hospitalizations have gone up, undoubtedly (from 4,500 to now almost 6,000). That said, percent positive tests has remained flat. Deaths in CA also continue to trend down. What conclusion do you draw fro…

Your own data shows that you are just plain wrong. Percent positives at the beginning of the month are 4%. Number of tests have skyrocketed, if true cases are flat, then percent positive would plummet. Instead they have almost doubled to 7%. Your supposed lack of emotion is BS. You obviously have some internal or external motivation to believe there isn't a problem when there clearly is one. I live in the mountains in NorCal, there ain't a case around. However, as a one-time virologist (it's been almost two decades since I published a peer reviewed paper on SARS-1), I can assure you there is no chance that you are correct in your "hypothesis" that "Covid is not getting worse in CA."
