Time for a Walgreens covid test update

 

Positivity rates up slightly, they were in the upper 20 percentile a month ago, and now climbed to 35%. 

The all age data: 31% of unvaccinated tested were covid positive 70.4% of 3 vax recipients were covid positive And check out those 2 dose numbers……61% of those tested were positive. 

Most of the population who chose to be vaccinated is double vaxxed not triple or quadruple. 

Even the 1 dose group is higher than the unvaccinated in terms of percentage testing positive. 

It does feel like beating a dead horse when I say that vaccination really does not make a hoots bit of difference in catching covid. You have all seen the Pfizer data and know the stats of protection with the hokey pokey. There is not much difference in the numbers of the age 18-44 category so just posting the all age group data this go round. 

With each passing week, the numbers of vaccinated testing positive climbs higher and higher (from upper 30% this spring to 60-70% now). 

Unvaccinated testing positive climbed about 15% (they were in the 16% range this spring and 31% range now). 

The county health department spewing fear on the television about cases going up. Some fanatical ER physicians at hospitals are doubled down on the fear mongering as well, with “cases are rising, blah blah blah”. 

Well, I am a show me the receipts kind of girl, so, off to the MARC Kansas City data I went. What does IT tell us?

So you can follow the graph. Left to right. Alpha, Delta, Omicron 1.0, and now Omicron 2.0. This round of cases is NOTHING like cron 1.0. That round was seeing 5,000 cases per day. 

In fact, cron 2.0 is nowhere near the case levels of the alpha wuhan or delta either. This epidemiology data website covers a population of at least 2 million people. So 622 new cases on 7-7-22. When you look at the graph of covid in its entirety, we are basically at July 2020 levels here. The data only goes back to July 10th, 2020, as that is when this site was created.
