PLAGUE REPORT UPDATE FROM STOCKTON, CA

by Bob Walsh


There is an interesting story in today's fish wrapper here in Stockton.  Page 1 across the top.  S J COUNTY COVID-19 DEATHS SURPASS FLU.  Assuming they got it right in the last ten months a tad over 700 people (724 to be precise) have died from Covid in this county while not quite 100 have died from the flu in the last ten years.  There have been about 52,400 confirmed Covid cases in the county.  We still don't know what the actual death rate from Covid-19 is.  

So far, it is believed that Covid-19 was the leading cause of death in the county though it is not clear if they have the difference between "dying from Covid" and "dying with Covid" sorted out.

They have been using that new math in Texas too.
