Los Angeles County public health officials today announced the region’s biggest single-day jump in confirmed cases of the coronavirus
“The median age for all of our reported cases is about 47,” Ferrer said today. “There are 138 people between the ages of 18 and 65 that were diagnosed as positive with COVID-19. I’m going to start trying to present this data so that everyone can understand that the risk is spread across everybody who lives here in L.A.
She added that about 2,400 people have been tested in the county as of March 18, and 10% of them are positive. Using some basic math and the World Health Organization’s stated 3% mortality rate for this new disease, L.A. County — with its roughly 10.16 million residents, at last count — could see more than 30,000 deaths from COVID-19.
“When we look across what’s happening in Europe now and in other cities in the United States, particularly New York City, we know that we need to be prepared for many, many new cases,” Ferrer said. Here is the latest tweet from L.A. County health officials, followed by video of today’s update; Dr. Ferrer’s comments begin at about the 16:40 mark:
