Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 11-04-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for November 4th, 2020.
The number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 is reaching record highs in a growing number of states. Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska, North Dakota and New Mexico all reported record high hospitalizations this week. Nebraska’s largest hospitals started limiting elective surgeries. Officials in Iowa and Missouri warned bed capacity could soon be overwhelmed.
In a departure from its less strict approach to the pandemic, Sweden announced new restrictions. People must work from home if possible, avoid indoor spaces, and only have physical contact with people in the same household.
50% effective in preventing or reducing the severity of the coronavirus, that’s the bar the FDA says a vaccine has to reach. No vaccine is 100% effective, but even at 50%, experts say it could help. Even the flu vaccine’s effectiveness varies from year to year, from 20 to 60%.
A study out of Mount Sinai says almost 20% of New York City residents were infected with Covid. That’s about 1.7 million people. The same study shows its fatality rate is 10 times deadlier than the flu. The testing found positive cases going back to February, suggesting that New Yorkers were infected with Covid-19 weeks before its first reported case.
The celebrity infection of the day is…Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway. The Denver Broncos said their president of football operations and general manager is experiencing mild symptoms. Elway is quarantining at home.
The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Norton, KS. Bon Homme, SD. Ellsworth, KS. Wallace, KS. San Saba, TX. Wells, ND. Sheridan, KS. Walsh, ND. Potter, SD. And Bennett, SD.
