California coronavirus deaths hit stubborn plateau; experts fearful about future

LA Times  

People sit on the grass at San Francisco’s Alamo Square Park during the COVID-19 pandemic. “If we were to see the kind of spike that’s predicted in that model, that would be extraordinarily worrisome,” said Barbara Ferrer, director of public health for Los Angeles County, which so far has seen 56% of all of California’s coronavirus deaths despite being home to one-quarter of the state’s population. “We’re seeing just explosive increases in mobility in a number of states that we expect will translate into more cases and deaths, you know, in 10 days from now,” the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, Dr. Chris Murray, said Sunday on the CBS program “Face the Nation.” Experts say the number of cases will grow as testing capabilities increase. UC San Francisco epidemiologist and infectious disease expert Dr. George Rutherford, a former epidemic intelligence service officer with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said California hadn’t left its first wave of cases. “It’s got to come down for it to end.” Nationally, too, “we’re in a steady state,” Rutherford said, “with about 25,000 to 30,000 cases of COVID being reported daily nationwide.” Health officials in both Los Angeles County and San Francisco also warned that key pandemic indicators have also merely stabilized and haven’t gone down.
