Well we have the first two cases of Covid in my city hospital

But the state health department aren't counting them against the county total because they don't live here.

1. Say what?

Are you in West Virginia?

2. What city and state if you don't mind sharing?

3. My state lists them as others.

Don't think Gretchen is hiding them. It's just the system. I suspect the same for people in the prison system

4. Do you happen to live in a small town who's high school mascot is Bantam's? n/t

5. My niece in another city told me a week ago there were four, but lived outside county line so not in

their numbers too.

8. There have been many deaths not counted for one reason or another...

Particularly when testing was so "rationed" that hospitals were treating admissions with COVID-19-like systems as "presumed positive." If they never verified positive or not after death, the death was not counted.

And who knows how many deaths very early on that were attributed to flu were actually COVID-19?

I don't know if we will ever know the real toll this virus took between about 2/1 and about 3/15 (when testing in most places was ramping up -- but even around 3/15, availability of tests continued to be severely limited in many places.

9. First confirmed cases in my county yesterday. Two young men home from Mardi Gras.

10. State is MO

Not going to get anymore specific since the city isn't very big
