niman Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 By Los Angeles Times Staff Updated Oct. 12, 11:05 p.m. Pacific 857,573 confirmed cases +2,813 on Monday 16,588 deaths +18 on Monday The COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly across California. Experts say the true number of people infected is unknown and likely much higher than official tallies. To better understand the spread of the virus, The Times is conducting an independent, continual survey of dozens of local health agencies across the state. What we know Officials point to positive signs. State and local officials see signs of hope in the recent drops in new cases and hospitalizations. The death toll keeps climbing. The state has averaged 58.4 deaths per day over the last seven days. Fewer tests are coming back positive. The statewide positivity rate has held steady at 2.6%. Most of the state is still on lockdown. The governor’s new system rates 16 counties as too risky to reopen. Together they're home to 40% of the population. Disparities in age and race persist. Roughly 74% of the dead were 65 or older. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 3.3 times more likely than whites to test positive.

The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 184 days, a number used to measure how quickly the virus is spreading.

For instance, some agencies do not report new totals on holidays and weekends, leading to lower numbers on those days. Over the past week, the state has averaged 3,101 new cases and 58.4 new deaths per day.

They offer a more stable view of the trend than daily totals. The gray range marks when errors in a state computer system delayed the tabulation of new cases. Where new cases are concentrated State officials study the latest data and then rate counties to determine when and how businesses reopen. After adjusting for population, the virus is now categorized as widespread in 16 counties, keeping those areas largely locked down. Together they are home to 40% of California residents. The government doesn't release enough data to replicate its analysis, but the rate of new cases over the last seven days provides some insight into where the virus is spreading.
