COVID progress in Solano: case count remains high, but hospitalizations are down

By Roger Straw, Monday, May 10, 2021

Solano reports 112 new cases over the weekend, but only 3 hospitalized since early April.  But remember: People with mild COVID can have long-term health problems

Solano County COVID-19 Dashboard – SUMMARY:

On May 10, Solano County reported 112 new COVID cases, 37 per day.  We saw 1,288 new cases in April, an average of 43 per day.  In the first 7 days of May, Solano reported 275 new cases, an average of 39 per day.  Reports are that Solano will not be joining all other Bay Area counties in opening to less restrictive tiers anytime soon.  Solano’s Active cases fell today from 319 to 297.  Our percent positivity rate remained steady at 7.6%.  We have not seen rates this high since Feb. 22.

Cases among children and youth have increased alarmingly

Hospitalizations – very little information…

The Solano County COVID dashboard Summary tab only shows active hospitalizations for the current day (13 today – the County’s lowest number since June 19, 2020).  This number represents the total currently hospitalized after yesterday’s admissions and discharges.  Little can be learned from this about the accumulated total of hospitalizations since the outbreak began.

But on the Demographics tab of the County dashboard, the County “occasionally” updates the accumulated total of hospitalizations by age group.  These numbers had not been updated since early April, but were updated today.  Today the County reported only 3 new hospitalizations since early April, 1 person age 18-49 and 2 persons age 65+.   Looks like hospitalizations are dramatically DOWN.  We’ll keep an eye on this for more “occasional” updates.

But on the Demographics tab of the County dashboard, the County “occasionally” updates the accumulated total of hospitalizations by age group.  These numbers have not been updated since early April, so it isn’t possible to determine whether there has been an increasing number of hospitalizations among any of the age groups.  I have asked Public Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas for an update on these numbers, and he replied by email on 4/29 that he “believes” his staff will update these numbers soon, and “will double check.”  But no update as yet.  So age group hospitalization totals on the dashboard remain old and unchanged:
