Summary

  • Solano County reported 12 new positive case today, total of 559.
  • No new deaths today, total of 22.
  • Active cases bounced back up after yesterday’s inexplicable decrease by 8 (perhaps today is a correction?).  For whatever reason, active cases are up by 9 today.
  • Hospitalizations are unchanged, at 87.
  • Youth – Solano County reported 3 new cases among our youth today, totaling 30 new cases in the last 22 days, having reported only 6 over the 5 weeks prior.  (See table below).

CITY DATA

  • Vallejo added 4 new cases today, total of  310.
  • Fairfield added 7 new cases today, total of 118.
  • Vacaville added 1 new case today, total of 57.
  • Suisun City remained at 30.
  • Benicia remained at 23 cases.
  • Dixon remained at 11 cases.
  • Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today both remain at <10 (less than 10).  The total numbers for other cities add up to 549, leaving 10 cases somewhere among the 2 locations in this “<10” category (same as last reported)Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts.  Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.

HOSPITALIZATIONS:  87 of Solano’s 559 cases resulted in hospitalizations since the outbreak started.  Good news – same as  yesterday.  Cumulative hospitalizations is a most important stat to watch.  On May 1 there were 51 hospitalizations, and the daily increase was relatively steady, adding 2 or less each day until a little over a week ago.  On May 22, the County reported 4 new hospitalizations, on May 29 an additional 9, and yesterday 3 new hospitalizations.  The County has seen 16 additional hospitalizations in just 12 days.  Stay tuned!

ACTIVE CASES:  63 of the 559 cases are currently active, 9 more than yesterday(We wonder if this was just a correction, given that the County reported a sudden drop of 8 fewer cases yesterday.)  Note that the county does not report WHERE the active cases are.  Below you will see that only 9 of the active cases are currently hospitalized, which leaves 54 of these 63 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.

HOSPITAL IMPACT: The County shows 9 of the 87 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, 6 fewer than yesterday – good news!  The County’s count of ICU beds available and ventilator supply remains at “GOOD” at 31-100%. (No information is given on our supply of test kits, PPE and staff.)

.
TESTING: The County reports that 13,058 residents have been tested as of today, an increase of 593 residents tested since yesterday.  Good news: this is the second day in a row that we’ve seen over 500 residents tested.  But we still have a long way to go: only 2.9% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested.  NOTE: State run testing sites in Vallejo and Vacaville are open to anyone.

Solano’s curve – cumulative cases as of June 3

This chart shows that the infection’s steady upward trajectory could be flattening a bit in Solano County.  Still too early to tell.  Our nursing homes, long-term care facilities and jails bear watching!

Still incredibly important – everyone stay home if you don’t need to go out, wear masks when you do go out (especially in enclosed spaces), wash hands, and be safe!

CITY DATA

  • Vallejo added 4 of today’s new cases, total of  293.
  • Fairfield added 3 of today’s new cases, total of 101.
  • Vacaville added 1 of today’s new cases, total of 54.
  • Suisun City remained at 25 cases.
  • Benicia remained at 23 cases.
  • Dixon remained at 11 cases.
  • Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today both remain at <10 (less than 10).  The total numbers for other cities add up to 507, leaving 10 cases somewhere among the 2 locations in this “<10” category (same as last reported).  Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts.  Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.

UPWARD TREND IN HOSPITALIZATIONS?
84 of Solano’s 517 cases resulted in hospitalizations since the outbreak started, 9 more than yesterday.  This is an important stat to watch.  On May 1 there were 51 hospitalizations, and the daily increase has been relatively steady, adding 2 or less each day.  Exception: a week ago, on May 22, the County reported 4 new hospitalizations.  Now today’s increase of 9 new hospitalizations is sudden and unusual.  Stay tuned!

ACTIVE CASES:  69 of the 517 cases are currently active – 3 fewer than yesterday.  Note that the county does not report WHERE the active cases are.  Below you will see that only 19 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 50 of these 69 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.

HOSPITAL IMPACT: The County shows 19 of the 84 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, 1 fewer than yesterday.  Yesterday, 20 cases were active out of 75 total.   (How the County can report an increase of 9 cumulative hospitalizations on the same day they report 1 fewer actively hospitalized is a puzzle to me.  Someone should ask Dr. Matyas about this….)  The County’s count of ICU beds available and ventilator supply remains at “GOOD” at 31-100%. (No information is given on our supply of test kits, PPE and staff.)

TESTING: The County reports that 11,096 residents have been tested as of today, an increase of 257 residents tested since yesterday.
We still have a long way to go:
only 2.5% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested.  NOTE: State run testing sites in Vallejo and Vacaville are open to anyone.

Solano’s steady upward curve – as of May 29

This chart shows the infection’s steady upward trajectory in Solano County.  Our “curve” continues to creep up.  Our nursing homes, long-term care facilities and jails bear watching!

Still incredibly important – everyone stay home if you don’t need to go out, wear masks when you do go out (especially in enclosed spaces), wash hands, and be safe!
