Why do all the low-income less desirable cities have the most infection rate? Pittsburg, Antioch, Concord, Richmond?
@TraumaRX – you disappoint me, you were doing so well
Assuming you actually want an answer, and you’re not just trolling, maybe the people living in those cities have to go to work every day instead of sitting home and collecting a paycheck. I don’t know too many blue-collar jobs that can be done remotely from home.
They don’t follow the rules. touch every door handle in town and sneeze and cough at each other without regard for safely precautions….smoke and do drugs. Ignorant? or just lazy careless slobs living off your taxes.
@Aunt Barbara….And they probably all have gas leaf blowers!
Incentives for testing positive > more likely to get tested > more likely to test false positive
@Aunt Barbara,
I laughed out loud at your reply, until I realized that you were serious. It’s sad that you have such disdain for people who aren’t rich.
@TraumaRx being an restaurant employee in Danville, I can tell you they aren’t following the rules here. We spend a ton of time telling adults to wear a mask. If someone is wearing a mask when they’re being shown to a table, it is usually off before their backside hits the chair. One customer who was showing concern because I work in the heat wearing long sleeves suggested that I cut holes in the nostrils of my mask so that I can breathe better, like she did to hers back in March when the pandemic started. Friends who are fellow industry workers in Walnut Creek have to play mask police all day too. Many of us (including myself) live in the low-income less desirable cities you constantly degrade, but work in the high-income more desirable cities. Maybe the infection rate has something to do with our exposure to the high-income clientele that can’t follow the rules that we didn’t write, but have to follow and enforce ad nauseam.
Cheeseburguesa thank you!
@ Cheeseburguesa
Wow drink much KoolAid? MASKS DON’T WORK!!!!!
They don’t Stop viruses. Wake the blank up!
People working in jobs where they wear masks all day are more likely to get sick from…wearing a mask all day.
Dear God, please give these people critical thinking skills..and break their TVs.
Probably a reflection on how the elderly in nursing have been uncared for. Or maybe just bad life choices, smoking , fast food, fast living ,
You know the answer, you aren’t ignorant.
Did you guys hear that last week one of the cashiers at the foodmaxx on clayton road got tested positive for corona virus? My sister is a cashier too, that’s how I found out.
Cashiers are in close proximity to so many people every day, I’m not really surprised to hear it. I know of someone in Clayton Safeway who was out with it too. Cashiers are “frontline workers”.
So? It is really not that dangerous. Lots of people have had it. Very few have been seriously ill or died.
Silva no one at Clayton Safeway had Corona. That was a rumor someone started.
@Silva
No one at Clayton Safeway had Corona. That was a rumor. Don’t believe rumors
@Oh Please
So the over 900,000 people+ that have died says it’s not dangerous? Got it
@M
how many people die from the seasonal flu in this country alone every year? google says the cdcs numbers are 12,000 – 61,000. that is the USA only. google says worldwide deaths from the flu are 250,000 to 500,000 annually. now ask yourself how many covid19 deaths could have been flu and covid19.
now remember covid19 is just another corna virus like what the flu is made of. the difference is that it is “novel” which appears to mean that it is new and so few if any will have any immunity to it. but the survival rate for those 50 and under with no conditions is 98% – 99%.
we should have been protecting the most vulnerable not shutting everything down. the experts lied to us, all of us, they are using this as a way to make up for hillary’s loss in 2016. they hate Trump. they knew that if the economy tanked they’d be able to get rid of him. I pray they are wrong.
if you are elderly or have any conditions then you need to protect yourself. Plan and simple.
@Ash
Did you just compare the Flu to Covid??? Sorry no. Flu has been around for many many years. This Covid has been around here that we know of since February and has killed well over 300k MORE people in just under 7 months. Would have been a lot worse if we didn’t shut down.
Covid is NOT like a flu as the flu is NOT a respiratory illness.
Sorry but the experts didn’t lie. They were learning just like me and you what the Covid can do. Covid is much more deadly. The person who lied was Trump. Simple as that. Could this have stopped with him. Don’t know. But he has played people and gets away with it. Saying this is a political thing is down right dumb. Democrats and Republicans are not at fault. Trump had a chance and screwed up. Simple as that.
Last thing is you are saying that how many people died that were not reported as flu what about all the people that have died that did not get tested for covid-19 that possibly were infected? Goes both ways. Not every death that is happening from illness is being reported as Covid.
# of cases keep climbing, cuz testing keeps increasing,
But hospitalizations and deaths keep declining
If we want life to return to something close to “everything open” a few things need to happen on a large scale.
1. Easy, convenient, and fast TESTING. Meaning you should be able to walk up to one and spit on a swab, and get results on the same day.
2. Contract tracing.
3. Support for people who are infected so they can quarantine from their families if needed.
4. Universal mask usage. Masks worn properly over both mouth and nose
5. Hand hygiene. Wash your hands.
6. Debunking of conspiracy nutters. That crap isn’t helping. It isn’t a hoax.
Don’t @ me. I don’t like it either.
The answer is still no. If you keep pestering me your will go to bed without dinner and we will not have the record player on.
No, it’s not a hoax. It’s a political tool by the Branch Covidians………
And if that doesn’t work, Climate Change is on deck.
@an iota of maturity,
Boo hoo hoo. Interesting how One time government SHILLS such as yourself posts drivel.
Tell us all what the Quarterly numbers are for flu?
Funny how they dropped, I guess it’s not financially worth it to diagnose flu when you can get $13,000 – $39,000 for the branch covidian Scam.
As Claycord’s Daily Update person seems to be on vacation today I’ll post the numbers that would have gone into Saturday 9/12/2020’s Daily Update.

I posted the Cases by City table to https://imgur.com/a/cOS3vvy
Perspective: Everyone can name more businesses that are now gone due to being shut down than they can name people who have died or gotten seriously ill from covid. It’s not even close.
Shutting down the economy for this? This could have been handled simply by sheltering the vulnerable. Anyone who still believes the shutdown was because our government agencies are acting in our best interests is in serious denial. You know the truth, but your political stripes won’t allow you to admit it.
