Below is a DPH chart of Covid-19-related deaths that have occurred in Fayette County since the start of the pandemic.
The most recent death reported June 16 was a white female, 88, with no known co-morbidities. The day before on June 15 a white male, 73, with at least one underlying medical condition, lost his life. From the beginning of the pandemic until now, 16 Fayette residents have succumbed to the Covid-19 respiratory illness.
Here’s the breakdown: 7 black males, ages 63, 65, 73, 76, 80, 83 and 89; 2 black females, ages 64 and 69; 3 white males, ages 73, 79 and 79; and 4 white females, ages 77, 83, 85 and 88.
The chart lists from left to right the age of the victim, the race, the sex, the county, and yes or no or unknown as to whether the victim had an underlying medical condition:
Total test-confirmed cases statewide: 60,030, which is 952 more cases than the previous day’s total of 59,078, an increase of 1.6%. All of Georgia’s 159 counties are now reporting coronavirus cases. For perspective, more testing results in more cases being reported, which does not necessarily indicate whether a pandemic is increasing or decreasing in intensity.
Statewide deaths: 2,575, an increase of 46 fatalities over the previous day’s total of 2,529.
State Covid-19 death rate: 4.28% of all confirmed cases reported, slightly over 4 deaths for every 100 test-confirmed cases.
Fayette County: Confirmed infections — 271 cases (1 more new case than 270 the previous day) with 16 deaths. Fayette’s confirmed case rate: 230.55 cases per 100,000 persons. Fayette death rate per 100,000 population: 13.6. Hospitalizations: 40 (unchanged). No new hospital admissions have been reported in Fayette for 14 straight days. Fayette has recorded 94 new Covid-19 cases since May 1. That’s an average of 1.95 new cases per day. Perspective: Less than three-tenths of 1% of Fayette’s population has been identified as having been infected by the coronavirus illness since the beginning of the pandemic in March.
Coweta County: Confirmed infections — 526 (7 more cases than the previous day’s 519) with 13 deaths. Coweta’s confirmed case rate: 346.05 cases per 100,000 persons. Coweta death rate per 100,000 population: 8.6. Hospitalizations: 53 (unchanged).
Hospitalized: 9,543 cumulative Covid-19 hospitalizations statewide from the beginning of the pandemic to today, which is 15.8% of the total cumulative confirmed cases to date, compared to 9,454 cumulative total one day earlier, an increase of 89 newly hospitalized patients (increase of 0.9% over the previous day) across the state of Georgia. The data do not indicate how many patients that were admitted on previous days are actually still being treated in hospitals today.
Intensive care unit admissions: 2,084, which is 19 more new ICU patients than the previous day’s cumulative report of 2,065 across reporting hospitals in Georgia.
Total coronavirus tests: 763,149 by private and state labs, which represents 15,801 (2.1%) more tests than the 747,348 tests in the previous report.
Total positive tests: 60,030 confirmations so far with all testing from both commercial and state labs, a positive confirmation rate of 7.8% of the total tests administered. The positive confirmation rate is now about 1 out of 12, meaning that more than 11 out of every 12 tests show no presence of coronavirus.
