Previous report, Tuesday, May 5

Summary

Solano County reported 12 new positive cases today, total is now 3371 new death, total now at 7.

BY AGE GROUP

  • No new cases of young persons under 19 years of age, total of 6 cases, less than 2% of the 337 confirmed cases.
  • 10 of today’s 12 new cases were persons 19-64 years of age, total of 246 cases, 73% of the total.   No new deaths, total of 2.  Note that only 33 of the 246 cases in this age group (13%) were hospitalized at one time.  (It is unclear whether the 2 deaths were ever hospitalized.)
  • 2 of today’s 12 new cases were persons 65 or older, total of 85 cases, 25% of the total.  1 new death of a person in this age group, total of 5.  Note that 23 of the 83 cases in this age group (28%) were hospitalized at one time, more than double the percentage in the mid-age group(It is unclear whether the 5 deaths in this age group were ever hospitalized.)

HOSPITALIZATIONS: 57 of Solano’s 337 cases resulted in hospitalizations, an increase of only 2 since yesterday.  Relatively good news – a small increase.

ACTIVE CASES:  73 of the 337 are active cases, 13 more than yesterday’s total of 60.  Presumably the 12 new cases are in this group – plus another?  So we are to guess that a previously inactive case is now determined to be active?  A relapse, or perhaps an error or correction?  …Note that the county does not report WHERE the active cases are.  Below you will see that only 13 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 60 of these 73 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.

The County’s “Hospital Impact” graph shows 13 of the 57 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, same as yesterday.  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.)

CITY DATA

  • Vallejo added 11 of today’s 12 new cases, total of  191.
  • Fairfield added 1 of today’s 12 new cases, total of 62.
  • Vacaville remains at 36.
  • Suisun City remains at 16.
  • Benicia remains at 16.
  • Dixon, Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today all remain at <10 (less than 10).  Note that the numbers for other cities add up to 321, leaving 16 cases located somewhere among the locations in this “<10” category (same number as last reported).  Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts.  Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.

TESTING

The County reports that 5,286 residents have been tested as of today.  This is an increase of only 67 residents since yesterday’s total of 5,219.  Testing numbers need to be much higher!  See Solano testing – by the numbers April 13 – presentSee also Solano County announces testing available to all.  We have a long way to go: only 1% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested.

Solano’s upward curve in cumulative cases – as of May 6

The chart above shows the infection’s trajectory in Solano County.  We may be seeing a flattening of the overall curve, but it is still creeping up.  Our nursing homes, long-term care facilities and jails bear watching!

Still incredibly important – everyone stay home, wear masks when you are out, and be safe!

Previous report, Friday, May 1

(Note that 1 new case was added on Friday 5/1 AFTER the 4pm report was posted, raising Friday’s total to 267.)

Summary

Solano County reported 1 new case late on Friday and 53 NEW POSITIVE CASES over the weekend and Monday – total is now 3201 new death, total now at 6.

OVER THE WEEKEND:

  • 50 new cases were reported on Saturday 5/2
  • 3 new cases were reported on Sunday 5/3
  • No new cases were reported today, Monday 5/4
  • (Note also that 1 new case was added on Friday 5/1 AFTER the 4pm report was posted, raising Friday’s total to 267.)

BY AGE GROUP

  • No new cases of young persons under 19 years of age, total of 6 cases, less than 2% of the 320 confirmed cases.
  • 23 of today’s new cases were persons 19-64 years of age, total of 231 cases, 72%, of the total (down from 78% on Friday).   No new deaths, total of 2.  Note that only 31 of the 231 cases in this age group (13.4%) were hospitalized at one time.  (It is unclear whether the 2 deaths were ever hospitalized.)
  • 31 of today’s new cases were persons 65 or older, total of 83 cases, 26% of the total (up from 20% on Friday).
    Today’s 1 new death was a person in this age group, total now of 4.  Note that 22 of the 83 cases in this age group (only 26.5%, down from 40%, on Friday) were hospitalized at one time.  The percentage drop is surely due to the major increase of cases in the cluster outbreak at Windsor Vallejo Nursing Home, where most infected residents were evidently moved to a separate wing rather than to a hospital.  (It is unclear whether the 4 deaths in this age group were ever hospitalized, nor whether any came from Windsor Vallejo.)

HOSPITALIZATIONS: 54 of Solano’s 320 cases resulted in hospitalizations, an increase of only 3 over the weekend.  Relatively good news – a small increase despite the big number of new cases.

ACTIVE CASES:  65 of the 320 are active cases, an increase of 15 over Friday’s total of 40.  The county does not report WHERE the active cases are.  Below you will see that only 14 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 51 of these 65 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.

The County’s “Hospital Impact” graph shows 14 of the 54 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized, 3 more than on Friday.  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.)

CITY DATA

  • Vallejo added 50 of today’s 53 (54) new cases, total of 175.

  • Vacaville added 1 new case, total now at 36.
  • Suisun City remains at 16.
  • Benicia added 2 new cases, total now at 16.
  • Dixon, Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today all remain at <10 (less than 10).  Note that the numbers for other cities add up to 304, leaving 16 cases located somewhere among the locations in this “<10” category (same number as last reported).  Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts.  Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.

TESTING

The County reports that 5,160 residents have been tested as of today.  This is an increase of 1,061 residents over the 3 days since Friday’s total of 4,099.  That is only an average of just over 350 per day, about the same as on last Friday, but much better than Thursday when we added only 37 and Wednesday only 106.  We are still not up to the earlier times when the County reported daily increases of 505 and 438 new tests.  Testing numbers need to be much higher!  We have a long way to go: only 1% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested.

Previous report, Thursday, April 30

Summary

Solano County reported 3 NEW POSITIVE CASES today – total is now 266No new deaths, total remains at 5.

BY AGE GROUP

  • 1 new case of a young person under 19 years of age, total of 6 cases, just under 2% of the 266 confirmed cases.
  • 2 of today’s new cases were persons 19-64 years of age, total of 208 cases, 78%, of the total.   No new deaths, total of 2.  Note that only 29 of the 208 cases in this age group (14%) were hospitalized at one time.  (It is unclear whether the 2 deaths were ever hospitalized.)
  • No new cases were persons 65 or older, total of 52 cases, 20% of the total.  No new deaths, total of 3.  Note that 21 of the 52 cases in this age group (40%, nearly half) were hospitalized at one time.  (It is unclear whether the 3 deaths were ever hospitalized.)

HOSPITALIZATIONS: 51 of Solano’s 263 cases resulted in hospitalizations, same as previous two days.  Good news – no increase in hospitalizations!

ACTIVE CASES:  40 of the 266 are active cases, a significant drop from yesterday’s total of 55.  Maybe the spread is leveling off, but don’t forget – there are still 40 of us struggling with the virus in Solano County today, and presumably contagious.  The county does not report WHERE the active cases are.  Below you will see that only 12 are currently hospitalized, which leaves 28 of these 40 active cases out in our communities somewhere, and hopefully quarantined.

The County’s “Hospital Impact” graph shows 11 of the 51 hospitalized cases are CURRENTLY hospitalized – one fewer than yesterday.  And only 11 of the 40 active cases are currently hospitalized, leaving 29 of them out and about and hopefully quarantined at home.  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.)

CITY DATA

  • Vallejo added all 3 of today’s new cases, total of 125.
  • Fairfield remains at 60.
  • Vacaville remains at 35.
  • Suisun City remains at 16.
  • Benicia remains at 14.
  • Dixon, Rio Vista and “Unincorporated” are still not assigned numerical data: today all remain at <10 (less than 10).  Note that the numbers for other cities add up to 250, leaving 16 cases located somewhere among the locations in this “<10” category.  Residents and city officials have pressured County officials for city case counts.  Today’s data is welcome, but still incomplete.

TESTING

The County reports that 4,099 residents have been tested as of today.  This is an increase of 386 individuals since yesterday’s total of 3,713.  Much better than Thursday when we added only 37 and Wednesday only 106, but still not up to the earlier days when the County reported 505 and 438 new tests.  Testing needs to be on the increase!  We have a long way to go: less than 9 tenths of 1% of Solano County’s 447,643 residents (2019) have been tested.
