Hopefully we’ll not get anymore cases until the other two recover and then we will know for certain that all hospitalizations have recovered. I think current hospitalizations would be more relevant information but we know relevant information is not their style.

Yep. Your right. The liar and chief left it up to the Governors to make those decisions. He’s too chicken shit to make a decison based on science and facts. More and more lies every day. That’s ok. Just keep drinking the koolaid.

I’m confused. We have 54 positive cases. 52 have recovered. But 4 are still in the hospital. So why are 2 recovered people in the hospital for covid?

The number of hospitalizations listed is the total number of people who have been hospitalized here for COVID-19, they don’t tell us when they recover & get discharged.

However, if I had to guess based on the timing of the disclosures, we either have zero or one case currently hospitalized.

Yes, it is confusing – but that is par for the course, unfortunately the local powers-that-be apparently don’t trust the general population and release only the most vague information.

They don’t get any panic points for saying someone is released from the hospital. Four hospitalizations is newsworthy but releases…

Oh no sorry to hear this if it’s true. We have this same problem in Mendocino county too! Health officer lives out of county, stays away and just copies and pastes health orders of Bay Area county’s. It is so demoralizing and unrealistic
