More blah, blah, blah, wishful thinking from and about the county I live in. Nazi Newsom will milk this until he is recalled or defeated for re-election. This info is good only for a laugh from me.
GOVERNOR'S LATEST REPORT CARD PUTS COUNTY CLOSER TO REOPENING
This morning the California Department of Public Health assigned Monterey County a coronavirus score of 8.5, which puts us much closer to the 7.0 threshold required to move from the
Purple Tier to the Red Tier in the state's economic shutdown scheme. Last week, our score was 10.0. (Doesn't fucking matter. Nazi Newsom will just move the goal posts again. - JS)
This week's score is based on Monterey County's coronavirus cases for the week ending Oct. 3, when the county's 7-day average infection rate per 100,000 residents, as reported by the Monterey County health department, was 13.2. And that means we probably have even better news ahead, because during the week that ended Oct. 10, our case rate fell sharply to 9.7, which could mean a score of 7.0 or lower from the state next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, after four days in a row of 40 cases in the county or fewer — the lowest numbers since June — today the Monterey County health department reported 64 newly confirmed coronavirus infections among county residents, including 47 in Salinas and the Salinas Valley and nine in the Monterey Peninsula — five in Monterey, four in Seaside and two in Marina. Carmel, Pebble Beach, Big Sur, Carmel area (93923) and Carmel Valley had none, and Pacific Grove lost one case. There was also one taken away from the Peninsula's "unspecified" category. For more details, see our "Cases and Rates by Zip Code" table below.
There was another coronavirus-related fatality reported by county health today, bringing the total during the epidemic to 81 and bringing the county's death rate to .0001744, or 174.4 per one million residents. CHOMP says it currently has three inpatients with the coronavirus, and Natividad reports seven.
