BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE
March 13, 2021, 3:40 p.m.
IMPROVING CASE RATES MAKE REOPENING WEDNESDAY A NEAR CERTAINTY
• The numbers behind the Red Tier
Yesterday’s move by the California Department of Public Health to
widen the criteria for counties to move into the
Red Tier of the state’s economic shutdown scheme was great news for Monterey County’s schools, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters and museums (including the aquarium), which will soon be able to open in ways that have been prohibited for a year.(Maybe. Maybe not. No trust or confidence in government/law enforcement/judiciary. - JS)
But the announcement of the change came with a caveat for Monterey County. While the state has set the
county's official rate of new cases at 7.2 per 100,000 residents — low enough to nominally qualify Monterey County for the Red Tier — that score must be maintained until Tuesday for the status to become official, and for businesses get the green light to open on Wednesday. Will that happen?
The answer is almost certainly yes, and a brief look at the numbers explains why.
Monterey County’s current score of 7.2 was based on new coronavirus cases among county residents during the week ending Feb. 27, when the county had 377 (see our
Feb. 27 bulletin for details.) When Monterey County gets its updated score from the CDPH on Tuesday, it will be based on cases during the week ending March 6, when the county had 142 (see our
March 6 bulletin) — which means that not only will Tuesday's updated score almost certainly be enough to keep us in the Red Tier, it may even get us started on the way to the Orange Tier. So it's definitely not too soon for restaurants and other businesses to start getting ready for a very welcome Wednesday.
This chart illustrates the state’s revised criteria for the Purple and Red Tiers, and the county's rapid progress toward the lower tiers.
And there's more good news: While the CDPH operates on a 10-day delay in assessing the status of the epidemic in California's 58 counties, the Monterey County health department
reports cases on a daily basis, and the most recent data show that the county’s rate of new infections has remained very low. This week, there were 168 newly confirmed cases, including 118 in Salinas and the Salinas Valley and 28 in the Monterey Peninsula. Please see our “Cases and rates by Zip Code” table below for details of what’s been happening in your community. And please remember that just a few weeks ago Monterey County was experiencing upwards of 4,000 new cases per week.
Vaccines are one of the factors contributing to the decline in new cases, of course.
According to the CDPH, there have now been 95,017 doses of coronavirus vaccine administered to residents of Monterey County, for a rate of 21,944 doses per 100,000 residents. Statewide, the total doses administered is up to 11, 418,507, or 28,899 per 100,000 residents.
(Or we can look at the only number that counts - January 20, when Biden came in. The narrative needs to be changed now. No longer convenient for "them" to keep up the fearmongering. "They" got President Trump out, but there are millions of us who shall not forget what "they" have done to us, our loved ones, and our country. - JS)
Please remember that if you're
eligible to be vaccinated, you can make an appointment in Monterey County by checking these websites:
mcvaccinate.com, offered by the county health department, and
www.chomp.org/vaccine, which is the site for clinics operated by Community Hospital. You may also be able to schedule a vaccination at
cvs.com,
riteaid.com, or at
safeway.com. There are also many vaccinations offered through professional and private organizations. And the State of California promises that its vaccination registration website,
myturn.ca.gov, will soon be the only place you need to go for access to all vaccination possibilities in your area.(Big fucking deal. STILL have no intention of being vaccinated. ZERO trust in the government. Have told three of my doctors this in the last two weeks. - JS)
And one final note: Because the coronavirus epidemic in Monterey County has abated so significantly, and because vaccines are reducing chances of a major resurgence, Community Hospital yesterday removed the triage tent it had maintained for a year to isolate coronavirus-positive patients as soon as they arrived at the hospital.
“It was a momentous occasion for all those who have been involved with the respiratory triage tent. We took it down exactly a year after we saw our first patient there,” spokesperson Monica Sciuto said. “Attendees were there to honor the occasion and to assist in taking it down, but it was a ‘cautious celebration,’ as we all know we are not through this year. But removing the tent marks progress as numbers continue to decline.”
To date, CHOMP has admitted and cared for 625 Covid-19 patients, and at one point had 50 in isolation or intensive care at the same time, Sciuto noted. Today, there are four coronavirus-positive inpatients at CHOMP, with one in ICU.
