Ouch!  July 4th update for SCC:  234 new cases.

Santa Clara's blip of hospital cases has passed the 3 days, so the county is no longer on the state's monitored list.  But 3 other counties are on it now that weren't there when the state instituted the rollback order.  (A reminder, if a county is on it for 3 days, then it is affected by the rollback for 3 weeks after it drops off.)  (6 counties have < 20% ICU beds left. Kings has just 7.1%)

SCC COVID cases in ICU beds have been between 35-40 (< 9%) for the past six days.
COVID cases in non-ICU beds is between 2.5 - 3%.

% Positive tests is now solidly above 2% (weekly average) for the last 12 days.  That continues to climb, but I don't see any recent 1-day over 3%, so it isn't climbing too fast.

597 total cases in LTCF, with at least 4 a day for the last 2 weeks. 
In the last 2 weeks, Canyon Springs Post-Acute Care, San Jose, has had 102 resident cases and 49 staff cases.  As it is a short-term facility, we can't assume these are 65+ individuals.
In the last 2 weeks, Valley House Rehabilitation Center, Santa Clara, has had 66 resident cases and 40 staff cases.  That facility's web page (as of yesterday) claims that the last patient positive case was June 25, with only 3 on isolation, and the last staff case was July 1.  Curious. I would have thought any cases in the last 2 weeks (ie, 66) would be on isolation or in the hospital.
(Pacific Gardens stabilized at 13 patients and 16 staff.)


Regarding contact tracing, SCC indicates that 37.7% of cases are related to another case, 5% are related to outbreaks, and 56.2% are from unknown sources.  (I'll point out that the 37.7% is an upper bound on those who are found by contact tracing. Potentially none of them were.)
