Questions about the non fatal impact of Covid-19
Start out, practice social distancing, wash your hands and wear a mask when in public. What is your risk of catching it then try this widget from Mathematica?
What is the real death rate for COVID-19? Is a tricky question.
1. Death records suggest some are being missed in final counts.
2. About 30% of COVID Deaths may have not been reported.
3.. Now, numerous studies — using a range of methods — estimate that in many countries some 5 to 10 people will die for every 1,000 people with COVID-19.
The CDC has a laundry list of conditions that can complicate COVID-19.
The Lancet did an excellent study estimating the mortality of COVID-19 when you had underlying conditions. So yes, certain conditions will complicate how your body interacts with the virus. You can be apparently in good health like Nick Cordero and go through a long and agonizing death with Covid. His age bracket put him in an estimated 0.4% of confirmed cases. It doesn't discriminate and can impact everyone.
Covid attacks the body like no other respiratory virus. It can take parts of you Your guts, kidney, smell, lungs, pancreas, heart and gallbladder. It attacks your entire body. We are seeing permanent damage after recovering from COVID-19.
We already know the worst that can happen is that you can die or you can give it to someone else and they can die. After listening to yesterday's Suzilla episode a person asked well what about if you don't die and what is the age range that it is effecting so here you go.
If you get COVID-19 who is ending up in the hospital? A quick comparisons on the difference between total population verses percentage hospitalized reflects the Latinx are again being effected to a higher degree by COVID-19
If you are infected then you probably have one of those essential services jobs that people talked about staying open. Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail and Food Services were the top four job types that have been infected by COVID. These are the workers that had to mask up early and are now wrestling with a public that doesn't always want to have a mask.
Slightly more men are getting it and almost 4 Latinx to 1 non-Latinx is getting it. This plays out on the national level with the NYT finding a 3 infected Latinx to 1 Caucasian. The CDC found a similar 4 to 1 ratio. This could be environmental or biological or a combination. There has been seven strikes in Yakima Valley by workers to improving working conditions. We are yet to see a strike in North Central Washington despite workers being infected.

Yes, Chelan-Douglas area has climbed up into the triple digits for New Cases in the last 14 days. The biggest worry is the 23 currently hospitalize. Confluence Health released on July 10th that they have only 25 ICU spaces as we have taken patients from neighboring counties in an effort to help out. It is very possible that we will have to move patients to other parts of the state if we overfill capacity.
Which brings us to age of the infected.

Unlike early with COVID-19 cases, our largest age group of infected is 20 to 29 year olds with the 30 to 49 year olds close on their heels. This means that it is infecting our adult population.

Suzie Health Solutions put together videos with the help of the local Molina Representative Donny Guerrero and started sharing Spanish materials to assist the Latinx population as it is impacting them. We have a collection of printed materials collected as well.
