COVID-19 Update
The Columbia County Department of Health has released its numbers for today. Since yesterday, there are five new cases of COVID-19, discovered in doing 78 more tests. There is one more person in the hospital, and one more of the people hospitalized is in the ICU. There have been no more recoveries, but there have also been no more deaths.
As of 2 p.m. on May 2, 2020:
- Columbia County has had 13 community members that have passed away from COVID-19
- 215 positive cases of COVID-19
- 94 of the 215 cases have recovered from COVID-19
- 15 of the positive cases are hospitalized, 7 of those hospitalized are in the ICU
- We have received 1,487 test results completed for Columbia County residents
- 154 residents are under mandatory quarantine and 20 under precautionary quarantine
Here's what the pattern over the last four weeks looks like. The spikes on April 28 and April 30 are likely caused by testing done at Barnwell nursing home in Valatie, where, it was reported yesterday, there are 37 cases.

For those who are listing as recovering and moving out of the sick pool alive rather than dead is there any way to infer from the data how long they were sick, whether there is a delay in reporting recovery that might make the period sick longer than it is, and if there is no way to infer such period from the data, to make an inquiry to the Columbia County Department of Health?
