Solano County hospitalizations, 2020-11-30

By Roger Straw, November 30, 2020

Slight improvement over previous day

The State of California’s  COVID19.ca.gov website is an incredibly rich resource for daily updates with latest data on hospitalizations (and much more) – both for the State and by individual Counties.

Each day the State updates the numbers along with “Change from Prior Day” and “14-Day Rolling Average.”  Below is a screenshot of today’s results.  The CURRENT data on the COVID19 website provides much more by simply hovering over various components.

On Sunday, November 29, Solano County showed COVID19 hospitalizations as follows:

  • 59 Positive Patients (5 fewer than previous day, 14 day rolling average of 58)
  • 14 additional Suspected Patients (3 more than previous day, 14 day rolling average of 11)
  • 15 ICU Positive Patients (2 fewer than previous day, 14 day rolling average of 14)
  • 3 additional ICU Suspected Patients (same as previous day, 14 day rolling average of 2)
  • 15 ICU Available Beds (2 more than previous day)
  • See map below for data on numbers of patients in hospital facilities by City

COVID19.CA.GOV on Solano County hospitalizations, 2020-11-28

By Roger Straw, November 29, 2020

The State of California’s COVID19.ca.gov website is an incredibly rich resource for daily updates with latest data on hospitalizations (and much more) – both for the State and by individual Counties.

Each day the State updates the numbers along with “Change from Prior Day” and “14-Day Rolling Average.”  The only thing lacking is a good archive so one can easily look back over time.  An excel file is beyond my time limits at this time, but I will take a screenshot of each day’s results and post it here.  The CURRENT data on the COVID19 website provides much more by simply hovering over various components.

Below is the screenshot showing Solano County data for Saturday, November 28.  Click on the image for full screen viewing.  (Screenshot for California is also viewable here.)

The hospitalization details below are current as of now, and will be automatically updated here on the Benicia Independent with each new day’s report from CA.GOV.

SF Chronicle and CA.gov report sharp rise in Solano County hospitalizations

By Roger Straw, November 25, 2020

The Solano County summary dashboard has failed to display numbers so far this week for Currently Hospitalized patients.  (However, see below for details found on the Solano dashboard’s graph chart.)

This morning, the San Francisco Chronicle reported  that we have 61 patients in the hospital as of yesterday, Tues Nov 24.  This represents an increase of 10 patients since the County’s last report on Fri Nov 20.  See details below.

Even better, the State of California covid19.ca.gov reported that Solano had 63 patients in the hospital as of Tues Nov 24, which would indicate an increase of 12 patients since Solano last reported.  This report also contains important information on suspected cases and ICU beds.  See details below.

Santa Clara, Solano counties worry COVID-19 patients soon will overwhelm hospitals

SFChronicle, November 25, 2020

COVID hospitalizations spiking in some counties: Two Bay Area counties have more patients hospitalized with COVID-19 now than at any other time in the pandemic, raising concerns that they will be overwhelmed if cases climb as expected after Thanksgiving. Solano County had 61 COVID-19 patients in hospitals as of Tuesday — four more than the peak in the summer surge. Santa Clara County had 201 patients, five more than the summer high. In the Bay Area, 614 people were hospitalized, well below the summer peak of 815, but a 39% increase over just the past week.

covid19.ca.gov shows Solano with 63 currently hospitalized patients as of Wed Nov 24

…additional details:
    • 63 currently hospitalized COVID patients
    • 11 more suspected cases who are currently hospitalized, for a possible total of 74 currently hospitalized COVID patients
    • 15 COVID patients in ICU beds (and 2 additional suspected COVID patients in ICU beds), possible total of 17
    • 12 ICU beds remaining available

Solano County dashboard on hospitalizations: no summary number, but delayed reporting is visible on graph chart

For months, I have relied on a simple numerical representation of current hospitalizations on Solano County’s daily COVID update.  For the first time this week, that box has shown “No Value.”  The dashboard also has a graphic chart of current hospitalizations, but it shows delayed results, so I have quit relying on it.  In fact I hadn’t even looked at it for a long time.  When I remembered, I checked yesterday’s graph, and sure enough, it does show some new information.  Here’s the graph from yesterday, presented on the Solano County COVID dashboard at around 4pm.

On the dashboard only, not on this screenshot, if you hover over each day’s point on the graph, you will get a small popup showing the County’s number of currently hospitalized patients on that date.  Hospitalizations have been on a very steep climb lately.  The most recent date shows Sat Nov 21 with 59 COVID patients hospitalized, an increase of 8 over the 51 reported on Fri Nov 20.
