For as much as we bitch about politics and somehow expect Washington DC to have all the answers, unfortunately, a few of these problems that won't fix themselves might already be past the point of political solution. Rising global costs, household debt, and prescription/narcotic dependency (all factoring into the out of control homelessness out West) is turning America into a poorer, sicker, and more addicted nation with no end in site.

Not sure why all the pessimism

we have vaccines and

this spike of positive cases shows signs of trending down

and the end of this crap is very much in sight

I saw that too. The CEO of BioNTech is highly optimistic.

No Siouxland counties reported any COVID-19 deaths on Monday.

However, 14-day positivity rates remained high in Northwest Iowa counties.

Crawford County led the state with a rate of 24 percent. Buena Vista County had the sixth highest rate, 21.3 percent, while Ida County ranked eighth, 20.3 percent, followed by Cherokee County in ninth, 20.1 percent.

Siouxland District Health Department reported 25 new cases of the novel coronavirus Monday in Woodbury County. According to state statistics, the county, which had a positivity rate of 15 percent on Monday, had 11,850 total cases of the virus as of Monday evening.

District Health reported that 56 patients were hospitalized Monday at either MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center or UnityPoint Health -- St. Luke's, up six from Sunday.


Of those patients, 35 were hospitalized for treatment of COVID-19. Another 21 people in the hospital have the virus, but are hospitalized for other reasons. Of the total, 27 are Woodbury County residents.

As of Monday, 142 long-term care facilities in Iowa are suffering COVID-19 outbreaks. Cumulatively, long-term care outbreaks have been implicated in 1,136 of Iowa's 3,533 COVID-19 deaths.

California, which had been keeping case counts low as a proportion of national cases relative to population, has now crossed 10% of all cases nationally, and increasing VERY quickly.

They're at 10.4% of cases now, if they get to 12% they'll have the same proportion as the rest of the nation. Against today's denominator they'd need ~290K extra cases relative to today's and they're gaining at ~44K/day (while the next highest, TX, is gaining at ~16K/day).

Yesterday California accounted for 20% of the US's new cases, so they could probably be at 12% of the national number within 2-3 weeks.

The rate of increase in Georgia MAY be slowing.  Deaths have not increased much.  Hospitalizations are above July highs.

I'd say behaviors I notice have not changed at all.

do all states report hospitalizations like this????

District Health reported that 56 patients were hospitalized Monday, up six from Sunday.

Of those patients, 35 were hospitalized for treatment of COVID-19. Another 21 people in the hospital have the virus, but are hospitalized for other reasons.

I've not seen much of that kind of reporting. What I think is going on is that those patients with Covid are asymptomatic and are in the hospital for other reasons - and just happened to test positive. Now, those could also be false-positives with the rapid test. I had to get one when I went to the hospital a couple of months ago.

so, hospitals are near capacity here, but 40% of COVID patients aren't there for COVID

no wonder we don't hear about a shortage of ventilators

Ventilators are no longer the answer, at least right away. Patients are being sedated a bit, and made to lie on their stomachs. Apparently this makes it easier to breathe.

a ventilator was the answer for Chip apparently.  He's still off the ventilator and his vitals and other signs point to him improving.

Got that news a few minutes ago

hope to get him out of the ICU, but no time table
