This doesn't mean much unless the corresponding weekly testing rate is also shown.  We know the number of actual cases far exceeds the known cases.  We also know the testing rate is increasing.

Also, how many of these cases are expats?

I've yet to see much information on WHERE people are encountering and contracting covid.  From other places it appears that most cases are contracted at home.  Are people getting covid in Walmart, Costco, Soriana with all their precautions?  If not, why are they being closed?

From other places it appears bars and public gatherings are the most hazardous followed by restaurants.  From those places I've seen nothing that suggests going to a big box with all the precautions they are applying is a likely place to contract covid.

Let's try to shed more light and less fear on this topic.  Even if the local authorities don't chose to do so.

This is NOT meant to be argumentative.   I'm not sure of the value of someone(s) trying to define something this finely. IMO the average person is not going to wade through 9 levels of risk and be able to decipher what it might mean to them to be doing something at Level 5 vs Level 6.... because there probably isn't any measurable difference in reality.  Just list things in order from Low to moderate to high seems more reasonable (to me). Calling it a 4 vs a 6 ads nothing.

BTW, to aide in 'qualifying', it appears that this list was developed by the Texas Medical Association COVID-19 Task Force and 'just' reported by the Hartford Healthcare System....

Posting unqualified data accomplishes just what other than to create fear?

 

Excuse me but you are wrong.  The numbers are very useful to me.  As long as you use the same method to calculate the numbers which they do it is very useful. Whats with you and fear?  I have no fear from these numbers.   Keep it to yourself moderator and let us decide whether something is useful or not.  Thanks Bisbee for posting these numbers.

I fear nothing but there seems to be a lot of fear in this expat community despite their success in almost universally avoiding covid.  That fear is being manifested by constantly obsessing over what others are doing or not doing and over unqualified numbers which are truly minimal when expressed as a percent of the population.

As an engineer I know that unqualified numbers tend to distort reality and indeed this is a common tactic among those that seek to influence using them.  I am not wrong I just don't agree with your opinion.  We have no idea what method is being used or how many of these cases are really about contributing causes because that is not being reported here. 

I personally know of 5 cases all but one of which were quickly ended using the combination of hydroxy/zith/zinc.  The one was not able to start the treatment before the covid was well along. 

If one doesn't listen to those who have a political agenda wrapped up in what should be only a medical situation, it is easier to keep things in perspective and not allow oneself to be misled from treatments that work.  Or be sold containment strategies that don't work and that are really about exercising power and control.

Since you addressed me specifically LCScats, I have a question for you.  Why do so many people here get so angry and personal when they encounter an opinion that they do not agree with?

In another vein, interesting report here:

https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/coronavirus/minister-sidesteps-question-on-nonessential-travel-at-northern-border/

Despite official policies it appears the border isn't all that closed.  A group of my motorcycle riding friends had no problem getting into Mexico from Texas last week.

They know that soon the last word will be written and the thread locked. Some opinions are more important than others.

Yup. I think all the usual bases have been covered. The next post needs to work in  “his” college students and the apartment in Guadalajara, THEN the thread can be locked. 😆

I know of several cases being diagnosed as COVID-19 by a local doctor that lots of people go to.  They were devastated. Then other symptoms appeared, come to find out they did not have Covid but dengue.   Of course reported as COVID-19. So the numbers could vary either way.  Better to be safe and follow guidelines.

Having your pain in advance Angus?  Little snark there Xena

You two have demonstrated exactly what gets threads locked.  You both might want to consider the concept of self fulfilling prophecies.

Baloney.  Cases do not get reported as Covid on either the State or Federal level without a positive Covid test from a hospital or certified lab.

Well supposedly his lab is

"Supposedly" shouldn't be presented as fact. You said in the previous post "Of course reported as COVID". Really? Do you have access to this doctor's reports? 

And I'm not sure how a doctor misdiagnoses dengue for COVID. The symptoms really aren't the same, aside from fever.

The bottom line is they were diagnosed as COVID-19 by well known local doctor.  Most know who he is, most go to him which is why they went.    When other systems developed they went to someone else.  This is when they were told of dengue.

I will not say his name   If you want to know pm me.

You get diagnosed with Covid when you get a positive result from a Covid test done in a hospital or certified lab.  Period.
