OHA Context & Commentary

This account tweets context for OHA data, usually daily cases compared to projected data. Not OHA affiliated. Feel free to use my graphs.

I was already collecting, tracking and graphing all the OHA CoV data for my own edification, figured I'd share.

The data pulls from OHA daily data and bi-weekly projections found here https://t.co/z7OSrekSKv

Data and graphs are on google sheets here https://t.co/SGDwhik6B3

This past week in Oregon, every day 3 people died from CoVid.

Is this where we expected to be 3 years ago when this started? Of course not.

Is this where we should expect to be 3 years from now? I hope not.

Updated Oregon #coronavirus trends. Yesterday OHA announced 1,729 new cases & 18 new deaths for the past week. The 14-day average for deaths is 5.1. The case trend still is heading down. Deaths are slightly down too, but in 10 days OHA will end the mask mandate for healthcare ...

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

Been awhile, life stuff, I’m all good. Ok with that out of the way…

Listen to your friends in the Mask Bloc, Tina, this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

Masks work. Hospitals have viruses. Don’t enable hospital transmission.

Had missed this a few weeks ago...
No data for you

@gorgepulse Thanks Chris. Any clear idea on the reporting discrepancy or is it just a lag in OHA reporting at this point?

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

Still confused as to how ER visits for CLI are way down down but hospitalizations are up. Is severity rate dropping? Are other behaviors changing?
Stopped trusting cases awhile ago but now I’m questioning CLI graphs…

We’re tracking data to understand the spread of COVID-19 in Oregon. This dashboard is updated weekly.

Data are provisional and subject to change.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@BlocksIncoming @FozzyBearPDX As it should.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@MtShastaWriter Well yes, that is a huge bummer of a change. We used to at least pretend to care if hospitals were getting overwhelmed. We’re not even pretending anymore.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@anarchademic Maybe but I don’t know how to disentangle those things and I don’t think the way they classify them has changed very recently. My memory may be failing me but this disconnect between CLI and hospitalizations seems relatively new.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@ParentsForMasks When we had pretty good data over a year ago it was a 9 day delay between cases and hospitalizations, and CLI was close to Hospitalizations.

I just don’t know what to make of it now. Maybe just too many confounding factors.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

It’s worth looking into if you’re not covered. I personally used this service for years when I was freelance, and while it’s not perfect it’s good.

[OR Health Authority @OHAOregon]

Having affordable, quality health insurance means you have one less thing to worry about.

Open Enrollment for health coverage ends January 15.

@theta444 Interesting, I don't recall the specifics of omicron and was making a generalized comment... I should probably review that data since I've paid far less attention in the last year than I had previously.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

Worth noting the current spike in cases/hospitalizations in the NE is driven by XBB, which is just getting started here (grey).

Usually we're 4-6 weeks behind the NE/CA trends, so buckle up for a rough winter.

Stay masked, get vaxxed.

and @OHAOregon is moving to eliminate most wastewater monitoring. What?!?!

@MtShastaWriter It's all omicron coming out of China, so far

@RickABright Pooled test positivity for the travellers genomic surveillance program has rarely dropped below 20% during the entire life of the program, regardless of predeparture testing requirements. https://t.co/wOtdxIj4WZ

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@mookiealexander Thanks for doing your part! We're all in this together whether we want to admit it or not!

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

Wasn't a miracle after all, headed back up

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

Kinda skeptical of these last two data points, lowest CoVid wastewater levels in the last year...

May be a Christmas miracle though.

@theta444 @OHAOregon Just another societal crisis that is adiabatically moved out of the spotlight to support the agenda...
What's the agenda, and who does it benefit? That's what really matters.

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

Great thread as always from Chris here. A brilliant member of the public who put forth the effort to simplify visualizations and provide cogent summaries of incomprehensibly large amounts of data.

Great follow if you're not, neat info on The Gorge too!

[Chris Carvalho @gorgepulse]

Updated Oregon #coronavirus trends. Wednesday OHA reported 3,306 new cases & 14 new deaths, with the holiday week & weather likely causing an underestimate. The 14-day average for deaths is 1.9, a significant drop & not likely valid given flat hospitalizations...

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@gorgepulse The banality of evil, as they say...

[OHA Context & Commentary @OHAinContext]

@JanaeAufDeutsch Maybe it's just the media I am prone to consume, but lots of good analysis out there shows that CoV is so prevalent that testing everyone from china will only impact levels by a small %.
Granted every % counts, but let's be real about why we're doing it (politics, generously).
