[ExI] down by the riverside

[spike at rainier66.com]

I have people I care about who live in Riverside County CA as well.  I went looking at their data.  It doesn’t separate nursing home covid fatalities either (Santa Clara is the only county I have found so far which does that.)

 

I found a note on their site which explains how they counted the fatalities.  From what I can tell, any person who has previously tested as a confirmed covid case who subsequently perishes counts as a covid fatality.

 

If I understand that correctly, there is an accumulating risk of systematic overcount, because it takes in more and more recovered cases.

 

Damn this is frustrating.
