The latest number: UH-OH, Spike City!

See today's County Covid Count
     That number is 1,028, by far a new high.
     The County used to provide this kind of chart (above), indicating case numbers per day going back to early May—plus the 7-day average (in orange) per day, a very important metric.
     Well, a week or so ago, they stopped providing that kind of chart (with that extent of info), so I've recreated it myself (using one of the county's old charts, plus updating).
     Plainly, the OC Supes—4 Republicans and 1 Democrat—don't want us to know the trends, covid-19-wise. They're all about opening things up for the sake of commerce. They're pro-commerce and not especially anti-death, evidently.
     Bastards!

     By my calculation (366 [deaths]/17,882 [cases]), about 2% of cases [in OC] result in death.

This just in:


And now, a blast from the past:

I recently came upon this graphic from an old DtB post. Long before Don Wagner became a member of the notoriously right-wing OC board of supervisors, he was a trustee (starting in December, 1998) in our notoriously right-wing board of trustees (at SOCCCD).
Don Wagner running for South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees, 1998:


Wagner's comments to the contrary notwithstanding, Wagner succeeded in the 1998 election thanks to a flier paid for by the corrupt SOCCCD faculty union—the same group that successfully sponsored Holocaust denying candidate Steve Frogue in 1996 (and 1992).

Bee well.
