Day 235 | Monday, 9 November 2020 

From the Church Mouse

I wanted to bring you up to date as far as the data, facts, and truth concerning COVID 19 as issued to us on November 5, 2020 by the State of New York.  


Gathering factual information which is based in reality is a very important part of being prepared, for this fall and winter, as we walk with COVID 19 until we are able to defeat it.

Chautauqua County   (pop. 127,939)

• Total tests: 83,455 (6,523.0 per 10,000 pop.)
•  Total positives: 1,152 (1.4% of tested; 90.0 per 10,000 pop.) 
• Deaths: 15

​

Erie County (pop. 919,719)

• Total tests: 587,117   (6,383.7 per 10,000 pop.)  
• Total positives: 14,338 (2.4% of tested; 155.9 per 10,000 pop.)

Governor Cuomo will be issuing our new regulations for our hot spot today. We’ll have to see what we need to do and for how long. I tend not to second guess him, since it is his responsibility for the State of New York. I’ve tried to navigate the dashboard for New York State, but trust me, it’s easier just to pay attention to Western New York. Granted, most recover from the virus, but I wish information was being kept on the number of “long-haulers” who continue to suffer symptoms for months after “recovering”. Many are suffering from lasting damage to many of their organ symptoms. So, remember, being prepared is not living in fear. It’s just living with COVID 19.
