Today's COVID Maine report:

Federal ‘surge team’ coming to help Portland hospital with flood of COVID patients

The burden is driven largely by the unvaccinated. At hospitals run by the state’s two biggest health care systems – MaineHealth and Northern Light Health – there are 221 COVID-19 patients, 86 of whom are in critical care beds. Of those, 75 percent of all patients and 84 percent of critical care patients are unvaccinated, a fact that is even more stark when considering that the pool of fully vaccinated people in Maine is more than twice as big as the unvaccinated pool.

any data on comorbities, age, variant?

any data on comorbities, age, variant?

Nope, that's all we get, other than we haven't seen any omicron yet, and since we're in a Delta surge, that would be the probably variant.

Here's some more of the data dump:

***For many weeks, there has been a strong correlation between counties seeing high virus transmission also having lower vaccination rates.

According to CDC data, four of the five counties with the highest rates of cases over the last seven days – Piscataquis, Franklin, Androscoggin and Oxford – are also in the bottom five for vaccination rates, all below 62 percent.

Cumberland County, which has by far the highest vaccination rate at 79 percent, has the 2nd lowest rate of transmission of any county over the last seven days. The coastal counties of Knox, Lincoln and Sagadahoc also have higher than average vaccination rates and lower than average virus spread.
***
There is also data that shows counties with lower vaccination rates are seeing more COVID-19 deaths. For example, Franklin County, which has a vaccination rate of 58 percent, has experienced 6.62 deaths per 10,000 residents since June 1. That’s roughly four times the rate of death of Sagadahoc County, which has a vaccination rate of 73 percent.

One think I've noticed is that it screams in graphics!! Screen updates much quicker than before. I know that Win11 was optimized for Intel iRIS graphics, which my machine has, and the difference is striking.

Did your machine get Covid?

Did your machine get Covid?

LOL, my bad!! Wrong thread...

That is Prophetic!

Not very transparent, huh? (CDC)

Surge then
Surge now
Surge later
Everyone’s going to get their turn in the barrel

Nothing for nothing but when someone compared how many teeth some had as to whether they were for or against being vaccinated the same group of “Show Me The CNN Data” were silent with all thumbs up. Where’s was the outcry then? Was that guy black or something? You guys ran to him like flys to shit.

That someone is me, and yes, there is a correlation between the amount of teeth someone has in their head, and vaccination rates.

Proof not porn shots of one’s self and even then it has to fit the R7 agenda or it disappears. Proof like rambling dorks with round glasses stating anything no matter how many times the contradict themselves. Then it’s taboo.

Looks like the face diaper nazi's are back again in NYS.

None of its going to happen
Few are paying it C any attention

I think the latest cry of wolf (omicron )
Will put a fork in it for most normal ppl
R7 , wader and overboard not so much

well, after fully vaxxed in February, if I had continued to carry a mask, stayed away from everyone and washed my hands constantly I might not have gotten this current head cold...

You’ll live
It’s a damn cold
We’re all going to get them again going forward
Small price to pay for maskless freedom

but if you have a mind too
Wear mask

Never have actually worn a mask, just a gaiter or a bandanna which I carry. with eyeglasses and hearing aids those ear loops are impossible !

The OTE's with the wires are bad, my cousin has flung his across the room several times.
