niman Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 By Los Angeles Times Staff Updated Dec. 15, 9:52 p.m. Pacific 1,647,554 confirmed cases +31,903 on Tuesday 21,495 deaths +295 on Tuesday 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 Stay-at-home orders have returned. Most counties in the state, including Los Angeles County, have returned to stricter rules. New cases have been surging. Over the last seven days, the state has averaged 32,352 cases per day, a 129.1% increase from two weeks ago. Roughly 11.1% of tests this past week have come back positive. Hospitalizations have never been higher. There are now 14,283 patients statewide with a confirmed case, a new state record and 73% more than two weeks ago. More deaths are expected. The state has averaged 174.6 daily deaths over the last week. When case counts increase, the death toll typically rises soon after. Disparities in age and race persist. Roughly 74% of the dead were 65 or older. After adjusting for population, Latinos are now 2.7 times more likely than whites to test positive.

The number of cases in California is now on pace to double every 33.7 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 32,352 new cases and 174.6 new deaths per day.

On the cases chart, gray bars mark 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 regions and counties to determine when and how businesses reopen. The government doesn‘t release enough data to replicate its analysis, but the rate of new cases per 100,000 residents over the last seven days provides insight into where the virus is spreading.
