Wisconsin approaches 1 million shots of COVID-19 vaccine

Wisconsin approaches 1 million shots of COVID-19 vaccine

by

MADISON, Wis (WBAY) – New figures from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) show Monday that the state is close to administering the 1 million dose of COVID-19 vaccine. The state reports 976,049 first and second doses so far, which is 10,050 more people than the DHS reported Sunday. Wisconsin could exceed the $ 1 million milestone in Tuesday’s report – and it’s possible we’d made the point, as the vaccination reports could take a few days to come in. It’s been 64 days since the first shots were fired on December 13 in Wisconsin for health. care workers.

State figures show about 1 in 10 adults aged 35 to 64 years and nearly 4 in 10 adults 65 or older received at least one dose. The state says 240,907 people received the required second dose and completed their vaccinations. That is 1465 more than the Sunday report, which continues a trend of much lower day-to-day changes from Sunday to Monday than any other day. Although 39.5% of the older adults started the vaccination, only 4.2% finished. This is not surprising since vaccinations for that age group only started in earnest on January 25 and they have to wait three or four weeks for the second dose.

As vaccinations reach new heights, coronavirus cases and deaths continue to fall to lows of months.

The state obtained nearly 4,100 results for people who were tested for the first time or tested positive for the coronavirus, and found only 405 new cases. This has not happened since August 31, when there were 266 cases. The positivity rate according to this measure was 9.91%, and falls below 10% for the first time since 9 September. But now that more than half of the state’s population (53.6%) has been tested at least once, the state measures the positivity rate. for all the tests it receives, including people who are tested multiple times, and by the measure, the 7-day average of the positive percentage on Sunday was 3.1%, based on preliminary figures, and it is the lowest since June 22 .

The 7-day average of new cases is up to 763, the lowest since September 3rd. According to the DHS, the number of active cases is now below 2% of all cases ever confirmed – 10,616 people diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus in the last 30 days – while the state says that up to 97% of people recover has, which is 538,767 people.

The state also says 6,166 people died of coronavirus, which is 4 more than Sunday’s count. The state takes an average of 16 deaths per day over the past 7 days. The mortality rate of the virus for a seventh day is 1.11%.

Chippewa and Rock provinces each reported one death and Sauk County had two. Out of the 72 counties of Wisconsin, 20 counties had no new cases or the numbers were revised downward. Of the 52 who reported new cases, 21 had only one or two.

County totals and mortality rates are listed later in this article.

HOSPITALIZATIONS

According to the DHS, another 38 people have been admitted to hospital for COVID-19 since Sunday morning. Wisconsin has an average of 60 hospitalizations per day for 7 days. A total of 25,340 people have ever been hospitalized for COVID-19 treatment, which is 4.6% of all cases.

Taking into account deaths and discharge, the Wisconsin Hospital Association (WHA) says there are 13 more COVID-19 patients in the state’s 134 hospitals than there were Sunday. There were 412 patients on Monday, including 118 in intensive care. Current hospitalizations are more than 400 after dropping to the lowest number since September 19th.

Hospitalizations in the Fox Valley are down again to 21 COVID-19 patients, including 3 in ICU. In ICU it is 4 less and in total 2 less than since Sunday.

The Northeast region reported 37 COVID-19 patients, 11 of whom were in ICU. That’s 1 less in ICU and 2 less in the last day.

HEALTH READY

In terms of hospital readiness, the WHA reports 286 ICU beds in the state (19.5%) and, and 2,292 (20.5%) of all medical beds (ICU, intermediate care, medical surgical and negative flow isolation) are open. These beds are for all patients, not just COVID-19.

The Fox Valley region’s 13 hospitals reported 14 open ICU beds (13.5%) among them, and a total of 121 unoccupied medical beds (14.2%) for the eight counties they serve. There are no cots available.

In hospitals in the north-eastern region, 22 ICU beds (10.6%) and 219 of all medical beds (22.9%) are unoccupied.

We use the terms ‘open’ or ‘uninhabited’ instead of ‘available’ because whether a bed can be filled depends on hospitals having the staff for a patient in bed, including doctors, nurses and food services.

Across the country, 16 of the 134 hospitals report that they have less than 7 days’ supply of gowns and that 11 medical masks on paper are few.

* Cases and deaths come from the daily reports of DHS COVID-19, which may differ from local health department numbers. The DHS reports matters of all health departments within a province’s boundaries, including tribal, municipal, and provincial health departments; provincial sites may not. Public health departments also update their data at different times, while the DHS freezes the same numbers every day to compile the afternoon report.

The DHS reports deaths attributed to COVID-19 or in which COVID-19 contributed to their death. Most people who are severely affected by the coronavirus have underlying diseases or conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease or obesity, which increase the risk of someone dying from COVID-19. They would have lived longer if they had not been infected. The state may review the case and death rates after further investigation, such as the victim’s home, duplicate records, or a correction in laboratory results. Details can be found on the DHS website and frequently asked questions.

** The state of Michigan does not work up numbers on Sundays. Monday’s figures include updates since the deadline on Saturday.

COVID-19 detection program

Wisconsin’s COVID-19 tracking program, “Wisconsin Exposure Notification”, is available for iOS and Android smartphones. No download required for iPhones. The Android app is available on Google Play. If two phones with the app (and presumably their owners) are close enough long enough, they will anonymously share a random series of numbers via Bluetooth. If someone is positive for the coronavirus, they will receive a code to enter the app. If your phones have “pinned” each other for the past 14 days, you will receive a notification that you are exposed to the risk. The app does not collect personal information or location information, so you will not know who or where, but you will be told what day the exposure took place so you can place the right time in quarantine.

Symptoms

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified these as possible symptoms of COVID-19:

  • Fever of 100.4 or higher
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Cold Fever
  • Repeat shaking with chills
  • Muscle aches
  • Headache
  • Keelseer
  • New loss of taste or smell

Prevention

  • The coronavirus is a new, or ‘novel’ virus. No one has a natural immunity against it.
  • Children and teens apparently recover the best from the virus. Elderly people and those with underlying health conditions (heart disease, diabetes, lung disease) are considered a high risk, according to the CDC. Precautions are also needed around people with immune systems that develop or weaken.
  • To help prevent the spread of the virus:
  • Stay at least six meters away from other people
  • Avoid close contact with people who are ill or prevent
  • Stay at home as much as possible
  • Cancel events and avoid groups, events, play dates and non-important appointments
