More cases, fewer deaths, too many shots in hand

Uncategorized 86 Views

Madison, Wis. (WBAY) – The average number of new coronavirus cases in Wisconsin is under 4 months. Average daily deaths are at a 3-month low. And the completed vaccines reached a new level day by day.

On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) conducted 1,177 new positive tests for the virus causing COVID-19 and 14 more deaths.

It is the newest case diagnosed in four days (including one day out of 1,000 cases) but is below the 7-day average of 1,270 cases.

The number of deaths is also below the average of 23 for 7 days per day, following reports of 40 people involved in the deaths on Wednesday. The mortality rate in all known cases is 1.09%.

Deaths were reported in nine counties: Chippewa (3), Columbia (2), Kenosha (2), Marquette, Souk, Wukesha (2), Wupka, Wushara and Winebago.

New coronovirus cases were identified in 66 out of 72 counties. The county’s case and death totals appear later in this article.

Positive tests were 20% (20.06%) of the 5,866 tests the state received. By our calculations, the 7-day average positivity rate is 23.14%. These are the results for the first time positive tests or people being tested. DHS also tracks the results of those we have tested more than once. In this group, DHS calculates a 7-day average for positivity on Tuesday, up slightly by 5.2% on Tuesday. This calculation is one day behind because it is based on initial numbers, which include negative tests during further review. One test count per person is considered a more reliable measure of the spread of the virus in the community and is how the CDC compiles its reports.

Wisconsin is two days away from its first coronovirus case marking a year. To date, there have been 545,437 positive cases and approximately 6,000 (5,951) deaths in Wisconsin.

Vacancies

Wednesday’s update on COVID-19 vaccination shows approximately 35,00 more “arm in shots” (34,911) in Tuesday’s report, for a total of 613,247 doses given so far. This is among the 684,300 doses allocated to the state, which are not part of the pharmacy participation program.

The state now has 117,367 people who completed their two-shot vaccination, which is 8,654 more than the previous report – a record increase in one day.

DHS reported on Wednesday that approximately 1 in 5 residents 65 or older have received at least one dose of COVID-19. Tuesday’s numbers have increased by about 17,000 shots.

age group	Received at least 1 dose	% Of that age group
16-17	597	0.4%
18-24	Is 21,682	3.9%
25-34	Is 56,383	7.6%
35-44	Is 63,624	9.0%
45-54	61,004	7.5%
55-64	Is 66,899	8.6%
65+	Is 216,045	24.4%

All of these vaccination numbers are preliminary after vaccination reports, so they may include shots given in the last 1 to 3 days.

Event

Daily hospitals for COVID-19 fell below 100, barely, reporting 94 admissions to the state at the end of 24 hours on Wednesday. The rolling 7-day average is very low from 82 to 83 patients per day. In the past year, 24,554 people were hospitalized at some point for severe COVID-19 symptoms, which is 4.50% of all known COVID-19 cases.

The Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA) said 637 COVID-19 patients had been hospitalized since September 27 – with 173 in intensive care on Wednesday. The total number of patients continued to decline, 20 fewer than on Tuesday, but the intensive care number increased by 15 patients on the third day. These figures take into account new admissions, leave and death.

In the area of Fox Valley Hospitals, 40 COVID-19 patients, including 6, were cared for in the ICU. It is 1 less patient than Tuesday; The number in the ICU is the same as Monday and Tuesday.

Hospitals in the Northeast region were treating 60 COVID-19 patients, including 18 in the ICU. Overall, there are 13 fewer patients but this number is in the ICU on Tuesday.

Hospital studies

In terms of hospital readiness, the WHA reported that 264 ICU beds (18.0%) and 2,132 (19.1%) of all medical beds (ICU, Intermediate Care, Medical Surgical and Negative Flow Isolation) are open in 134 hospitals in the state.

The 13 hospitals in Fox Valley had only 5 open ICU beds (4.8%). He has a total of eight non-medical medical beds (11.6%), serving in his eight counties.

33 ICU beds (15.9%) in 10 hospitals in the Northeast region and 206 (21.5%) out of all medical beds are open to patients in seven counties.

These beds are for all patients, not just COVID-19. We use the terms “open” or “unpublished” instead of “available”, because whether a bed can be filled depends on hospitals for a patient in that bed, including doctors, nurses, and food services.

There were no hospital overflow patients or patients receiving an outpatient bamalanivimab infusion at the alternative care facility at State Fair Park on Wednesday.

* Cases and deaths are from daily DHS COVID-19 reports, which may differ from the number of local health departments. DHS reports cases from all health departments within the boundaries of a county, including tribal, municipal, and county health departments; The county may not have websites. In addition, public health departments update their data at various times, while DHS collects the numbers received at the same time each day to compile afternoon reports.

DHS blamed COVID-19 or COVID-19 for his death. Most people severely affected by coronavirus have underlying diseases or conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity, which increase the risk of a person dying from COVID-19. They lived longer if not for their infection. The state can modify the number of cases and deaths upon further review, such as the victim’s residence, duplicated records, or improvements to laboratory results. Details can be found on the DHS website and frequently asked questions.

** Michigan State does not update the number on Sunday. Monday’s numbers include updates since Saturday’s reporting deadline.

COVID-19 tracing app

Wisconsin’s COVID-19 tracing app, “Wisconsin Exposure Notification” is available for iOS and Android smartphones. No download is required for iPhones. The Android app is available on Google Play. When two phones (and possibly their owners) are long enough with the app, they will share a random string of numbers anonymously via Bluetooth. If someone tests positive for coronavirus, they will receive a code to type in the app. If your phones “ping” each other in the last 14 days, you will receive a push notification that you are at risk of exposure. The application does not collect personal information or location information, so you will not know from whom or where, but you will be told on which days the exposure may have occurred so that you can quarantine for a reasonable time.

symptoms

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified these as possible symptoms of COVID-19:

Fever of 100.4 or more
cough
Difficulty breathing
Chills
Frequent jerks with chills
Muscle aches
head ache
Sore throat
New loss of taste or smell

Prevention

Coronavirus is a new or “novel” virus. No one is naturally immune to it.
Children and teens are best overcome by the virus. According to the CDC, older people and those with underlying health conditions (heart disease, diabetes, lung disease) are considered to be at higher risk. Caution is also required around people with developing or weakened immune systems.
To help prevent the spread of the virus:
Be at least six feet away from others
Avoid close contact with people who are ill or appear
Stay home as much as possible
Cancel events and avoid groups, celebrations, play dates and non-potential appointments
