"Flu levels are low but are increasing across the state. In Ventura County, Levin said a person died of the virus in November but offered no details because of privacy laws." #flu
Amazingly, Ventura County still is publishing COVID surveillance data. They mention flu killing oneperson this season, but they totally ignore the 4 new deaths from COVID-19 reported by the health department for the week 🙄 #covid19https://vchca.org/covid-19
Just for your morbid enjoyment... Let's see how many people have died in 2023 in Ventura County (officially) of COVID19... 1649 total deaths (for the pandemic) as of January 1st, 2023. 1731 as of this November update... meaning 82 people have died of COVID19 since the beginning of the year. That's a lot more than 1 dying of influenza. But let's just pretend it doesn't exist anymore. https://vchca.org/covid-19#covid19#VenturaCounty
@ai6yr#UCBerkeley has a COVID dashboard of reported cases & potential exposures (i.e., which buildings did those cases spend time in) in the last 14-day rolling period & it's down to 5 and 7, respectively. They admit that with rapid home testing they're undercounting but the campus has no provision for "tested positive? sick? report it here" and two professors in just my department are regularly borrowing videoconferencing equipment for use with sick students. There must be hundreds altogether.
@jmccyoung CSUCI, where I teach, shows places where there have been reported positives... I regularly get notices that students have been excused from class, and are NOT allowed back for X days (because of positivity)--those are just the students so sick to actually get tested, of course.
