Statewide deaths at 36 are doubling every 4 days. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Today, Santa Fe hospital furloughed 300 people for lack of demand. Not enough corvid cases to stress the system, and everybody else avoiding the hospital so there are few other admissions. Today, also, the State put up its new covid website with more pretty colors but not much more data, <a href="https://cvprovider.nmhealth.org/public-dashboard.html">https://cvprovider.nmhealth.org/public-dashboard.html</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There was one piece of data on that website that concerned me and I wish some of you wiser heads would have a look at it, the hospital death rate. There have been apparently only 181 hospital admissions for covid so that the 36 deaths represents almost 20 percent of admissions. To put it bluntly, if you go into a new Mexico with covid, you only have a four in five chance of coming out alive? This compares with a Massachusetts number of less than 95 percent or more. This assumes, obviously, that most covid deaths occur in hospitals. It could simply be the case that more fatal Mexican covid cases are getting to the hospital before the patient dies. I can see some reasons why this might happen, but also many that it wouldn’t.
