THE RESPONSE TO COVID-19 IN OREGON HAS ENTERED THE SURREAL

"I doubt the governor nor the governors advisors will read this letter... or care much for my opinion formed from the states data. But I do wonder where these people are getting their data to form their opinions..."

Today, as Oregon's official count of positive Coronavirus tests nearly tops 100,000, Governor Kate Brown made the determination to extend the current economic lockdown through February...at the very least.

Below, considering Oregon's Coronavirus cases, hospitalizations (severe cases), and deaths, by age groups. When compared to Spanish Flu, which hit young children and healthy 20-40yr/olds with high mortality rates...the profile is entirely reversed here. While young and young adults are the majority of Coronavirus cases, they are at very low risk of severe illness (requiring hospitalization) and at statistically infinitesimal risk of death. The young are the future and have so much to live for...and they are my greatest concern. The data shows their immune systems have been up to the task, thus far (data OHA).

See Chart:

I doubt the governor nor the governors advisors will read this letter... or care much for my opinion formed from the states data. But I do wonder where these people are getting their data to form their opinions...because nowhere do I see a risk level that corresponds with economic repression, uncompensated loss of income, and for many, the ultimate loss of their business & means of self sufficiency.
