    I’m gonna ask a question and I’m just looking for a factual answer as I’ve seen the numbers questioned.

    When it comes to hospitalizations and deaths - are we getting numbers for hosp/deaths attributed to COVID or is it hosp/deaths that have been found to be positive for COVID? I’d be interested in both sets of numbers.

    I think it depends on the state.

    I know early on, there were several corners bucking the system, because they were told that any deaths that tested positive for Covid, were to be reported as a Covid death and they simply did not agree. So the early death totals were clearly deaths that occurred and tested positive for Covid.

    For all the gloom and doom that was AZ on this board, sure looks like they turned it around and quick.

    The early markers in Texas turned the corner about 10 to 14 days ago. Should be looking pretty similar a couple weeks from now

    Can you link to things when you post them? The COVID Tracking project shows over 130 deaths in AZ for the last date updated. (Which would literally be off your chart shown)

    The topic of this thread is what we will be talking about today which is the topic of COVID-19 that I’m talking about right now.

    So Covid tracker could be accurate, but my guess is they get their information from the state itself. And that link is to the Arizona Department of Health Services website for Covid tracking. I usually go to the horses mouth when I want to look at something.

    Sorry, missed a link there (since there are two sources) since I first posted it for you. Here is the other one

    Have been watching Tx for awhile. Can't say they things will go exactly the way AZ did, but it could happen.

    Looking pretty similar. About 6 weeks from onset in increased positivity, ramping up to stabilization of positivity in testing. About a month of ramping up to peak hospitalization. Lets hope Tx shows the same strong downward trend. I kind of suspect theirs will fall slower given the population differences between the two states.

    And here is the Texas website I use (once again the State of Texas official website)

    I actually think above the death graph you posted it (blurred) references the 134 deaths in the last day.

    Reading on their website, I see something about a particular one day spike as they were changing something in their reporting systems. Could be the 134 you are referencing and what I see as reported for yesterday in the box that was part of my post

    So the numbers I'm looking at show Arizona with 3500 new cases and 134 deaths on 7-21-2020. Texas with 9,992 new cases and 118 deaths the same day.

    Why does this indicate they have a handle on it?

    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    Looks like a weekend reporting spike. If you click on the 7 day average chart, it does kind of show their trajectory heading downwards. For Arizona anyway, Texas looks like maybe they’ve kind of plateaued or something.

    Positivity rates stabilized (stopped going up steeply, kind of plateaued) about 21 days ago. That is usually the first sign. Leading indicator

    Looks like Phoenix instituted masking requirements on June 22nd, and other populous cities around the same time. It seems reasonable that positive case growth rate would reduce starting 1-2 weeks after requiring masks and assuming that most people comply with the order.
    All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
