OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

[Cletus11]

2.41M shots yesterday so total up to 249.6M with the 7 day rolling average at 2.13M. 77.6% of shots administered is the national average, 44.7% of population with 1+ dose (58.0% of the adult population), 32.3% of population fully vaccinated.

So far, 149 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 109 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.

47,819 positives reported yesterday compared to 59,428 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 46,288

Fatality was 860 compared to 743 yesterday and 891 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 677.

Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 33,808 compared to one week ago 37,301 down 9.4%.

Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 4,640compared to one week ago 5066 down 8.4%.

Another really good day on the metrics front. 3 weeks ago on April 15, the daily positive was 71,970 and today it checked in at 46,288 that is 25,683 drop in 21 days so average more than 1,000 drop per day. Fatality chart finally on the move down and yesterday's big drop didn't get corrected today so held a second day under 700. I think the daily positives rate of decline will start to slow down some as those big states that were driving it are starting to get down to some low numbers such that they cannot just drop as much as they could coming down from the spike, but this time next week we could see under 40,000 daily positives. We have not been under 40,000 positives since a one week period in mid-September and before that you would have to go back to late June last year (which considering the complete lack of testing back then, basically wasn't a good number to begin with). Point being, sometime in the next 2 weeks we will hit the lowest daily positive numbers since this pandemic started.

2.83M shots yesterday so total up to 254.78M with the 7 day rolling average at 2.09M. 77.9% of shots administered is the national average, 45.3% of population with 1+ dose (58.3% of the adult population), 33.4% of population fully vaccinated.

So far, 150 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 111 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.

49,491 positives reported yesterday compared to 59,998 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 44,807

Fatality was 777 compared to 860 yesterday and 789 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 689.

Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 33,265 compared to one week ago 36,842 down 9.7%.

Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 4,528 compared to one week ago 4,978 down 9.0%.

Top 14 daily positives, only states over 1000 per day: Washington and Indiana only states below that are not on a downward trend, Indiana is basically even for the last few weeks and after Washington cases were going up for a couple of weeks but seem to have hit a plateau and I would bet start going down again next week.

Florida - 4165
Michigan - 3367
Illinois - 3321
New York - 2701
PA - 2647
Texas - 2600
California - 2166

Little bit of an uptick the last couple days as far as vaccines go. I wonder if that's the people that were interested in waiting on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to become available again.

Could be as it is a single dose vaccine. More likely, IMO, is that there are now walk in vax sites all over the country. No need to schedule, no lines, no special trips. Out shopping or picking up your regular meds and the pharmacist says, hey wanna vaccine now? On impulse people say what the heck, let’s do it. So much easier now.

I know here in Maryland that only a little over a third of the state is vaccinated fully. Here in Howard County and and some other places they are driving into communities and walking up to people's houses to see if they would like the vaccine. Most of these are in African American neighborhoods where there's been a much greater resistance to vaccine then the news is broadcasting.

Sunday numbers are always a low reporting day due to many states no longer reporting or only partially reporting, but a wow type of daily positive low day nonetheless. See no reason we don't break the 40,000 positives per day this week. Really like to see the daily fatalities chart this week also start to increase the downward slope as we are in week 4 of the downward trend which historically has been the week where we start to see the fatality metric catch up to the daily positive metric.

As university semesters are ending, have those testing numbers already been reduced which also could be impacting the lower positive numbers?

 

[Cletus11]

I think some of the downward trend is the fact that universities and high school sports, both of which do a lot of testing, are starting to end. Combine that we herd immunity starting in man locations and traditional summer weather decreasing virus spread and we have where we are now.

Over a hundred million vaccinated....and the highest risk ones at that.....would not be getting tested anymore. Plus with far fewer cases, people won’t get tested. And less cases means less contact tracing and testing.

Now this is much better. Thanks Tom!

1.88M shots yesterday so total up to 261.60 with the 7 day rolling average at 2.12M. 79.3.% of shots administered is the national average, 46.0% of population with 1+ dose (59.3% of the adult population), 34.8% of population fully vaccinated.

So far, 153 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 116 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.

30,152 positives reported yesterday compared to 40,552 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 40,395

Fatality was 370 compared to 241 yesterday and 461 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 648.

Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 30,508 compared to one week ago 35,556 down 14.2%.

Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 4,122 compared to one week ago 4,832 down 14.7%.

Interesting that the vaccine rate has stabilized the last few day at 2M shots per day. Were were in freefall there for a while but the last few days have stabilized. Be nice to see it stay at 2M per day for the rest of the month.

Fatality rate starting to drop, May 3rd a week ago we were at 728 and today's number is 648, that is a large drop in a week. Seeing the hospitalizations and new admission rate also start to decline at a steeper rate. They were at 8% decline week over week and that went to 10% decline and now at 14% decline.

So hopefully we are finally seeing the fatality and hospitalizations catch up to the recent drop in daily positives and will continue their downward trend as if we can keep up these numbers for the next 3 weeks we are going to be at some really, really low points by end of May that everybody will have to adjust to in what the 'guidance' is coming out of the admins and governors.

I'm wondering if the convenience factor has set in. No need to worry about taking off work to make an appointment where you may have to still wait in line. You can now just go on a whim whenever you have time and be in and out in 20 minutes.

I also think more people will get vaccinated as things open up. The world won’t protect the unvaccinated much longer. Some people jumped at the vaccine the moment they could get it, others will wait until they “have to get it”.

 

[MJG-90]

It's interesting that most of the country is concerned with 7-day averages while PA is reporting 14-day averages.

At the beginning I was tracking everything in 14 day averages just because they gave a 14 day quarantine period. I don't think either is wrong, but it would be nice to see consistency.

Well, it does take a lot longer to see improvements so there's that.

There were some crazy low day's last week which were sub 1M per day which we hard to explain. I do know obviously been a huge media and marketing campaign to push for people to get vaccinated so maybe that is having a little bit of effect on things. Convenience is another although walk-ins in most locations weren't any different last week to this week but maybe people are finally seeing they can do a walk in and local pharmacies all having signs for walk-ins, etc...would be really nice to keep up this pace for a little to stick a fork in Covid as if we can get the total vaccine percentage up a little higher I think herd immunity will take full affect as we can see it in certain locations already (look at NY and NJ numbers and they are plummeting for instance).

 

[TheBumble]

An interesting tidbit in regards to vaccine hesitancy and our messaging... my workplace has around 50 employees. Almost all of us in management have already been vaccinated. About a month ago it was proposed that we have a vaccine event for other employees to get shots at work. They took a headcount of those interested and it wasn't anywhere close enough to make it happen. They got less than 10 "yeses."

Fast forward to this past Friday. Word comes down that if you've been vaccinated, you no longer have to wear a mask at work. Four people left work on Friday to get their first shot. As of yesterday it was over a dozen. It's almost hilarious how well that little incentive worked.

we used to do flu vaccines every year for many years in our office. nurse would come in and sit in the conference room and they would make announcement on loudspeaker that anybody that wanted a flu shot, make their way to conference room between 10-11AM and get it. you just walked in, signed your name, got the shot and were done about 30 seconds in total time. no charge. About 6 years ago that stopped. I asked HR a couple of years ago why it stopped and HR said that fear of a lawsuit is what stopped them from having flu vaccines at work.

Another excellent day in the numbers. Finally broke the 40,000 daily positive case plateau. Last time below 40k was in mid September. Last time this low in daily fatality was July 9th. Could be some really good things going on with the numbers in the rest of May. Just about every state out there is on a steady decline with some of the larger Northeast states like NJ, NY, PA and MIchigan really going down. I mean getting sub 30,000 on the daily positives and sub 500 on the daily fatality by end of month is legitimately in reach right now.

 

[Cletus11]

Something a little crazy going on in New Jersey. April 1st the 7 day average for daily positives was 4600, today NJ is down to 944 in the 7 day average. Last 5 days of daily positives are 967, 650, 339, 152, 561. Just crazy numbers. Something had to have happened with respect to testing and reporting to get that low.

i am sure that is part of it, plus high school sports and testing associated with that going down. but that still doesn't explain the last 5 days of numbers compared to where things were. I hope they are real as basically means NJ has hit pure herd immunity and driving case load down to nothing.

25% is pretty low considering the poor public health messaging around the vaccine

Ummm the info is pretty easy to find.

1.55M shots yesterday so total up to 264.68 with the 7 day rolling average at 2.2M. 78.5% of shots administered is the national average, 46.4% of population with 1+ dose (59.7% of the adult population), 35.4% of population fully vaccinated.

So far, 154 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 118 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.

35,816 positives reported yesterday compared to 46,077 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 37,818.

Fatality was 841 compared to 743 yesterday and 772 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 644.

Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 30,718 compared to one week ago 34,574 down 11.2%.

Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 4,130 compared to one week ago 4,698 down 12.1%.

1.84M shots yesterday so total up to 268.44 with the 7 day rolling average at 1.95M. 78.5% of shots administered is the national average, 46.8% of population with 1+ dose (60.2% of the adult population), 36.2% of population fully vaccinated.

So far, 155 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 120 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.

39,095 positives reported yesterday compared to 49,492 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 35,016.

Fatality was 733 compared to 856 yesterday and 7763 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 627.

Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 29,588 compared to one week ago 33,582 down 11.9%.

Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 3,956 compared to one week ago 4,556 down 13.2%.

Daily positives are going to reach sub 30,000 by end of this month. Not sure how low the fatality will get, should be below 600 but don't think we get below 500 unless we see some major movement (which is not out of the question as we know the fatality lags the daily positives by 3-6 weeks and we know that we are really go down now). Hosptilizations finally under 30,000 also and have seen that 10%+ week over week be pretty steady.

Also note finally we got to the 60% with at least one shot in the vaccine category. I wonder if the CDC news will push some more people to get the vaccine in the next couple of weeks combine with FDA giving Pfizer full approval.

So far, 157 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 123 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.

17,834 positives reported yesterday compared to 26,578 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 33,811.

Fatality was 289 compared to 499 yesterday and 260 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 616.

Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 27,992 compared to one week ago 32,583 down 14.1%.

Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 3,717 compared to one week ago 4,379 down 15.1%.

So daily positives are the lowest since late June last year which we know there was still some issues in testing at that point so basically the lowest it has ever been. We have a little ways to go on the lower point for fatality in June of last which for one week dipped down to the mid 500s.

We are starting to see the hospitalization data reflect the large decrease in positive cases with the continued increase in percentage down week over week now hitting a 15% drop in one week. I will say something is very strange with these numbers. We have new hospital admission at 3,717 and positive cases at 33,811, that means 11% or positives cases are hospitalized? That is just too high of a number compared to the last year and that doesn't even take into account that most high risk people have been vaccinated so if anything, that value should be much, much lower and not higher. Again, just another data anomaly that makes no sense and thereby makes you really question the data.

Could it possibly be that some of the medications currently used (Remdesivir or monoclonal antibodies) to treat it can only be administered in the hospital and since there are more available beds and the panic has subsided maybe they feel more comfortable to admit borderline patients and treat them that earlier in the pandemic would not have been admitted? Just spitballing here as to why the percentage of hospitalizations per positive tests is higher now.

Something appears incorrect with the highlighted line. The 7 day rolling average should have dropped by over 1,000 since yesterday's number was approximately 9,000 lower than the day that dropped off of the rolling average. However, your 7 day rolling average actually increased from yesterday?

I agree, that could be a small amount, but think about it. 80% or so of high risk people have been vaccinated such that they should not be going to the hospital in any statistical amount. And those high risk people were the ones that mainly were going to the hospital with covid. So how do you remove a huge percentage of the people that were going to the hospital with covid and yet have the percent go up. It should be down by 66-75% if you look at the historical data on who was going to hospital and how many have gotten vaccinated.

the numbers can change after they are reported. So even though todays daily positive was reported at 17,834, if you go back and look at May 17 daily positive on this Thursday for instance, it might have been changed to 19,xxx. Hence when you look at the 7 day rolling average, it also changes based on those corrections/additions from the actual reporting on that morning.

More patients coming to the hospital for non-covid reasons that test positive using a PCR test in which studies have shown the majority don't actually have covid.
