Total California Deaths - 91

[JimO]

:tiphat: appleblossom

I've compared the CA DoH deaths by county with those on the database that appleblossom has been tracking and entered. I also compared those two lists with the total deaths reported in the media today from county DoH press releases for LA, Orange, and Fresno Counties. If my reckoning is correct (which it might not be), then I come up with a total of 91 deaths. Please feel free to check my math.

The database shows 8 deaths in LA County and 1 in Long Beach, which is also in LA County.

Here are the lists:

County - #CA DoH - #FT - #today - #added to FT count - total

Alameda - 7 - 6 - NA - 1 - 7
Contra Costa - 5 - 5 - NA - 0 - 5
Fresno - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 1
Los Angeles - 14 - 9 - 17 - 8 - 17
Marin - 2 - 2 - NA - 0 - 2
Monterey - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Orange - 10 - 11 - 12 - 1 - 12
Placer - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Riverside - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Sacramento - 5 - 4 - NA - 1 - 5
San Bernardino - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
San Diego - 11 - 14 - NA - 0 - 14
San Francisco - 6 - 3 - NA - 3 - 6
San Mateo - 7 - 6 - NA - 1 - 7
Santa Clara - 2 - 2 - NA - 0 - 2
Santa Cruz - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Solano - 2 - 3 - NA - 0 - 3
Sonoma - 3 - 3 - NA - 0 - 3
Stanislaus - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Ventura - 0 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1

Total - 80 - 73 - NA - 16 - 91

Re: Total California Deaths - 91

Jim, I added Long Beach as a Los Angeles County death (thanks for the geography lesson ) so now I am getting the same 8 new in L.A. as you.

But I have 4 deaths in Sacramento, added 1 new
and I have 3 deaths in Sonoma, added none new

So my new deaths in CA were 15, and I get 88 total for the state

My mistake. Thanks for checking.

I've counted and I can't get up!! I have thoroughly confused myself. I've revised the count per appleblossom's changes and now I still get 91 when I add the total column, but I get 89 when I add the previous FT count of 73 to the new deaths (16). Let me check again. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Total California Deaths - 91

:tiphat: appleblossom

Ok - I think I figured this out. In addition to the errors I had in FT's total indicated by appleblossom (Sonoma and Sacramento Counties), I showed 3 deaths in Solano County for the FT count and there is actually only 1 death. This change brings it back to 91. Again, my apologies for the confusion. I have no other excuse other than lack of sleep (from FluTracking) and the onset of senility.

County - #CA DoH - #FT - #today - #added to FT count - total

Alameda - 7 - 6 - NA - 1 - 7
Contra Costa - 5 - 5 - NA - 0 - 5
Fresno - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 1
Los Angeles - 14 - 9 - 17 - 8 - 17
Marin - 2 - 2 - NA - 0 - 2
Monterey - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Orange - 10 - 11 - 12 - 1 - 12
Placer - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Riverside - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Sacramento - 5 - 4 - NA - 1 - 5
San Bernardino - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
San Diego - 11 - 14 - NA - 0 - 14
San Francisco - 6 - 3 - NA - 3 - 6
San Luis Obispo - 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 1
San Mateo - 7 - 6 - NA - 1 - 7
Santa Clara - 2 - 2 - NA - 0 - 2
Santa Cruz - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Solano - 2 - 1 - NA - 1 - 2
Sonoma - 3 - 3 - NA - 0 - 3
Stanislaus - 1 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1
Ventura - 0 - 1 - NA - 0 - 1

Total - 80 - 73 - NA - 18 - 91 (FT total of 73 + 18 new deaths = 91)

Re: Total California Deaths - 91

LOL two half brains are better than one?

thanks Jim I see I missed one in Solano County, so now I'm getting 89 for California

County - #CA DoH - #FT - #today - #added to FT count - total

Solano - 2 - 1 - NA - 2 - 3

If California is reporting 2 deaths in Solano, and we already had 1 on the FluTrackers list, then we only need to add 1 more fatality to match their total of 2.


(somehow I am picturing a California DPH worker reading all this out loud to the rest of the office and having a good laugh)

Oh, for the love of Pete. I just hope nobody who knows me reads this thread. I did really well in math in college, honest. Of course that was a long time ago.

You are right, Solano should have a total of 2, but that makes 90 and not 89, doesn't it? If you add 17 new deaths to the 73, we should have a grand total of 90. Of course, just to complicate things we have another death from San Luis Obispo County, bringing us once again to 91. Given that I still haven't figured out how to change the thread title, I am determined to show a total of 91.

Re: Total California Deaths - 91

To the readers

It just occurred to me that this thread could appear callous since we are talking about individual human beings whose untimely deaths have left behind grieving families and friends. Believe me, I am heartbroken when I read the stories about who these people were and the void each one has left behind. It is particularly hard knowing how they might have suffered after having read so many accounts of the clinical observations from previous influenza pandemics, as well as some from this one.

For me, after having been immersed in this for two months, detachment and a little humor are coping mechanisms. Otherwise, I'd have to stop participating. I think I can safely speak for appleblossom and others who are sorting through the numbers, please don't take our bantering back and forth and discussion of the "numbers" as a disregard for the terrible human tragedy that is unfolding. I don't think any of us would be here if we didn't care. And for those who are suffering from this flu, or have loved ones who are suffering or who have died, please know that I have been sincerely praying for you every morning.

Jim

Re: Total California Deaths - 91

it's all just gallows humor, not meant to be offensive. hopefully people realize that laughter is just a coping mechanism, like Jim said. For all I know I'm going to end up as a number on somebody's chart myself, so I laugh just to keep from going crazy.

and Jim, put a fork in me, I can't dissect any more California lists. We'll use your figure. :tiphat:

If you've read as much history as i have especially on war and read of the appalling number of useless senseless deaths incurred by men rushed into battle, from the civil war(500,000 deaths) to WW's 1 and 2(ww2 had 50 million deaths from all sources including civilians), it could possibly innure u to death and statistics. Even the most caring of us can be somewhat detached if we read about 10,000-20,000 deaths in a tsunami in far-off Bangladesh but if it hits close to home and touches a loved one or family member then it becomes a personal tragedy.

Every one of those 400+ US deaths is tragic, and the manner in which the victims died from this ruthless & ravaging AH1N1 viral infection is chilling & frightening. This disease kills in a fearful ravaging way, and what scares me is that often healthy young folks in the prime of life are dying of this flu.

Re:4 OC hospitals may shut down due to funding cut off

Re:4 OC hospitals may shut down due to funding cut off

Sorry to digress but this info starkly dramatizes the fiscal crisis faced by Ca hospitals as they face another crisis this fall, the pandemic crisis. lack of funding to maintain hospitals in poorer areas of CA such as Santa Ana & Anaheim in the OC means that their low-income populations will face the pandemic with inadequate local & municipal facilities to deal with the pandemic outburst expected in Ca this fall/winter.

"August 3, 2009
Lender crisis puts four O.C. hospitals at risk
Judge freezes assets of Medical Capital Holdings after SEC alleges fraud.
By RONALD CAMPBELL
The Orange County Register
Comments 7 | Recommend 2

The legal and financial woes of a Tustin medical lender could spread to four central Orange County hospitals....

Medical Capital Holdings ? which a federal judge shut down Monday ? defaulted earlier this year on $12.7 million in financing to Santa Ana-based Integrated Health Care Holdings Inc.....

That loss threatens the future of IHHI, operator of Western Medical Center-Santa Ana and three other hospitals....

In its latest public report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, IHHI said Medical Capital's default creates "substantial doubt" about the hospital chain's ability to stay in business....

The four IHHI hospitals play a critical role in the county's health care system.

Western Medical Center-Santa Ana runs one of three trauma centers countywide. It and the other IHHI-owned hospitals ? Western Medical Center-Anaheim, Coastal Communities Hospital in Santa Ana and Chapman Medical Center in Orange ? serve some of the county's poorest residents. Together the four hospitals have 762 beds, 12 percent of the county total.

IHHI in turn relies on Medical Capital. IHHI owes Medical Capital $81 million in long-term loans, and it has relied on the company for short-term cash as well."

LA also faces Financing and funding shortlfalls at many hospitals and other medical providors. Financing & funding for medical centers has taken a big hit along with everthing else in this badly depressed CA economy. The worlds 8th largest economy is on the ropes and has been for some time, and the Ca gov't is barely scraping by with a mix of exorbitant tax/fee increases and deep cuts in every funded program, including health care . Both private and public funding is drying up, and those 4 OC hospitals are just the tip of the iceberg. LA has more political muscle so will get infusions from Obama in event of a fall pandemic crisis, but other less politically influencial areas of CA will not fare too well.

Re: Total California Deaths - 91

JimO-

Just wanted to point out that the Alameda County Public Health website now shows 8 deaths, up from 7. See here: http://www.acphd.org/H1N1/index.htm.

Thanks for all the painstaking work you're doing!
