SC Covid Cases
- Thread starter Intracoastal
- Start date
Cases still relatively flat. Deaths still relatively high. Wife's hospital said that their in-patient 7 day average is slightly declining.
This got lost in all the back and forth about Ivermectin but that is definitely some encouraging news that hospitalizations are down and bodes well for possibly being on the downhill side of this wave.
Why so many "probables" since the Spring?
This is another reason I lose trust with DHEC.
They have manipulated numbers and stats from the onset. They got straight busted inflating percent positive, they told labs not to report negative results, they cherry picked data to claim masks reduced spread.
Over the course of this pandemic the "probables" make up about 20% of cases but over the last few months the "probables" make up nearly half of cases.
The threshold for "probable" is a joke as well.
Just report the known cases/hospitalizations/deaths and stop assuming "Joe Blow with sniffles who had close contact with positive Mary" is also a case even without a test.
Okay, rant over.
I'm not sure why they include "probable" in their tweets either. The number that really counts is the confirmed positives. On the actual dashboard in their charts they do not include probable in their case counts epi curve. The charts reflect only the true positive cases. They also don't tell you that the tweet numbers are always for 2 days ago to give time to accumulate all the results for that day. When the charts get updated you will see 2,659 +- 1 or 2 for the 23rd.

I agree they should stop including probable in their tweets.
I've gone back and forth on this myself. And maybe its because I don't have the best understanding of what probable means in this. Probable seems more like "high rate of certainty." If that is true, they should be included somewhere no?
Bad day for deaths.
Death count as high as January numbers......
Only positive is that case counts still seem to be hovering/flat. Problem is they are hovering/flat at a pretty high number which means we can expect similar death counts for a while.

It is just so vague and open ended.
Probable
- Meets clinical criteria AND epidemiologic linkage with no confirmatory or presumptive laboratory evidence for SARS-CoV-2, OR
- Meets presumptive laboratory evidence, OR
- Meets vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory evidence for SARS-CoV-2.
Clinical Criteria
In the absence of a more likely diagnosis:- Acute onset or worsening of at least twoof the following symptoms or signs:
- fever (measured or subjective),
- chills,
- rigors,
- myalgia,
- headache,
- sore throat,
- nausea or vomiting,
- diarrhea,
- fatigue,
- congestion or runny nose.
- Acute onset or worsening of any oneof the following symptoms or signs:
- cough,
- shortness of breath,
- difficulty breathing,
- olfactory disorder,
- taste disorder,
- confusion or change in mental status,
- persistent pain or pressure in the chest,
- pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone,
- inability to wake or stay awake.
- Severe respiratory illness with at least oneof the following:
- Clinical or radiographic evidence of pneumonia,
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
I'll also add that when cases were not all that high DHEC would have days where probables outnumbered confirmed cases. That leads me to believe they went out of their way to make the total numbers of cases seem as high as possible.
I just think cases should be confirmed with a test and the lumping of 1500 probables with 2500 confirmed cases so DHEC can tweet out 4,000 new cases is misleading and only done to promote panic.

Is it vague and open ended, or does it just seem that way to lay people? Serious question. I'm a lay person so it definitely seems vague. It may not actually be vague and open ended within the medical community.
Heck if I know but IMO it leaves too much room for interpretation.
I could totally understand if this had been early in the pandemic when testing was limited but there is no reason at this point to include probable cases. They test left and right for anything that may be remotely similar to Covid.
Yeah I think I have to agree with this. The numbers are already bad enough. Even if the probables are legit, it's ripe for criticism.
My biggest issue is it doesn't give a true sense of when cases are rising, peaking or falling.
People need some good news or hope that we may be on the downhill side if that is the case.
Over 300 Lexington 1 students test positive for COVID-19

Interesting results. I’m curious what the results would be if including vaccinated people who also had covid (before or after vaccination)Science | AAAS

Bad day. But friday numbers are usually the highest for whatever reason.
Despite Deadly Results the FDA will Fast Track Pfizer COVID Vaccine Approval by Early Sept. -- Will Allow States and Businesses to Begin their Forced Vaccinations | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft
According to the VAERS website there have been 8,182 deaths pinned to the Pfizer/Biontech coronavirus vaccination.

Very rushed approval, but I am sure it's ok with you folks.

Our grief and confusion at this time are little compared to what the Day family must be feeling. Our hearts and prayers go out to them.”

Ukraine investigates cause of man's death after COVID shot
Ukraine's health ministry is investigating why a 47-year-old man died four hours after he received a shot of the Pfizer (PFE.N) coronavirus vaccine, the ministry said late on Friday.
My point is quit posting Covid deaths in here. This thread was supposed to be about the numbers in this state. Not tweets about deaths.
Wow…you really are trying to argue about anything huh? So the title of the thread is SC Covid and the one death I posted about was a school teacher in Liberty, SOUTH CAROLINA. Wow….what a stretch.Prefer this one?

So you decided to come after me for my post calling it off topic while others spew antivax garbage and studies from Israel without your criticism? Put it down man…time for bed.
Our was processed before they started running out. Should have in hand in 4-5 daysI encourage everyone to read the many studies and research published on the effectiveness of Ivermectin.

Neg. That are doing what they are told and many do not like the box they have been placed in. The nurses are pissed from just watching people die. Nothing has changed in the treatment program since the beginning. You get on a vent, flip a coin that you live.
Maybe you want to rethink your position...

This thread was primarily for data and numbers in SC. Not for you Pro-vax cult members who treat people who have opted out like 2nd class citizens to Grave Dance and retweet specific
Covid deaths.
Ask George Soros and Bill Gates I’m sure they know.I read something about the Delta+ variant.
How many more variants are stored in a lab somewhere?
You really didn’t have to. It’s obvious what you’re implying by posting Larry’s tweet and then following it up with another post about the same death.
I implied that a public figure and school teacher died of covid. Nothing more.
@Essolover4 read into this whatever you like. These are covid numbers from the biggest hospital system in SC
if that bothers you….well I’d take a long look in the mirror and ask why
if that bothers you….well I’d take a long look in the mirror and ask why
Doesn’t bother me at all. You actually posted data and not a retweet about an individuals untimely death. You’re doing better. Thanks bro. Now do one for natural immunity. Your stats are readily available and tweeted out non stop . They should include those with antibodies/recovered. Want me to start posting VAERS updates on the daily for some balance?
But those aren’t covid numbers, like you so eloquently stated in the rules for this thread…there’s just no place for it.
Those who have recovered and have antibodies are Covid numbers and should absolutely be included if reinfected. Reckon why they aren’t????? You think we should start a separate vaccine side effect thread?
