Covid 10/28/20

Another Vitamin D study – https://academic.oup.com/jcem/advance-article/doi/10.1210/clinem/dgaa733/5934827

“25OHD levels are lower in hospitalized COVID-19 patients compared to population-based controls and these patients had a higher prevalence of deficiency. We did not find any relationship between vitamin D concentrations or vitamin deficiency and the severity of the disease.”

The last statement tempers the conclusion – but once again on a risk/reward – risk includes cost and side effects – it would seem like a no brainer.

School review:

Looks like El Paso closure of school didn’t help as other things are causing confirmation

Broward open up and confirmation rises – but both Palm Beach and Pinellas has been open so something more is going on

It is really amazing the entire CA is so restrictive even though most cases in LA region….San Diego most open at 10% was at 20% and barely any difference

Lorain is rising even though no in school. Rising overall likely shows not a function of school

Boulder is not rising and has limited school – but at the same time Boulder saw a surge first.

Centre did see a surge first but Dauphin rising now and with still no inperson.

Still under 1K worldwide – US leads at 985 with 73.2K confirmed

TX leading both death and confirmation

County wise its LA leading in deaths at 27 – plus with high confirmations 1463 – lockdown not working for LA. El Paso TX lead the confirmations for TX 1445 – once again a border town. The other high reporting county was Cook IL at 1367

Now 5 counties listed below – all states are seeing lower temps other than FL

Sweden and Denmark are actually reducing confirmations everyone else still rising.
