Oregon reports 1,800th COVID-19 death, 799 new cases; vaccinations top 200K
PORTLAND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- COVID-19 has claimed one more life in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 1,800, the Oregon Health Authority reported Sunday.
OHA also reported 799 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday, bringing the state total to 133,205.
Vaccinations in Oregon
On Sunday, OHA reported that 15,784 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 12,781 vaccine doses were administered on Saturday.
Based on updated totals, OHA is meeting Gov. Kate Brown’s goal of ensuring 12,000 vaccinations a day. The governor required the benchmark to be met by the end of the two-week period that began Jan. 4. On Sunday, we surpassed 200,000 doses of COVID vaccine administered to Oregonians.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 204,974 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 335,075 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA's dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated Sunday.
COVID-19 hospitalizations
The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across Oregon is 361, which is four fewer than Saturday. There are 95 COVID-19 patients in intensive care unit (ICU) beds, which is three more than Saturday.
The total number of patients in hospital beds may fluctuate between report times. The numbers do not reflect admissions per day, nor the length of hospital stay. Staffing limitations are not captured in this data and may further limit bed capacity.

More fake news. Here is a real honest story about Covid-19.
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2020/08/20/hospital-incentives-drove-up-covid-19-deaths.aspx
Mercola.com… Now there’s a trustworthy news source!!
Pathetic response.
Mercola.com why not just quote 8chan?
Why not explain your ignorance?
Nick87…Nope, a perfectly legitimate response. You have no credibility in calling anything “fake”. Go back under your rock.
Another pathetic response.
Here is the full article from Mercola via another site.

There were refutations by investigative media as early as last spring of those claims.
And from health care officials/groups this fall. Guess it depends on who you trust.

Trust yourself Barney if you have critical thinking skills “Listen to everyone, believe nothing they say, prove it to yourself.”
Here is the CDC document for determining how to decide which deaths are Covid deaths given to doctors all over the country.It is ridiculous, just like Dr. Jensen said.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/vsrg/vsrg03-508.pdf
Barney is very selective about which “experts” he will trust- seems the CDC has now come into direct conflict with that other all-powerful governing body that must be believed- Kovid Kate ! Guess we can put another of Dictator Brown’s lies to rest- she’s not following the science- she’s following the money !
Nick 87 (assuming that’s your birth year) August vs today. Just in case you haven’t been paying attention? Things have shifted.
May you live a long life.
Nothing has shifted ! The state remains in lock-down- Schools closed- record numbers of new cases and victims “with” the China Virus somewhere in their system. Joke Biden has declared that 100,000 more Americans will die from the Chinese attack on the world in the next month- but we’ve yet to hear what he and Hunter will do about it. Not sure where you are getting your information- but the only shift we are seeing-is for the worse ! Biden has no plan- and he takes over Wednesday to a hostile America that doesn’t want him ! This is gonna be epic- can’t wait to see four years of trying to cover for a guy who hasn’t a single accomplishment in fifty- can’t wait to watch the fallout !
You need a hobby BGHW. The majority of Americans voted for Biden, I’m sure you know that, but choose to deny it. Which is odd.
All elections are fraudulent, I’m sure you knew that.
He wont be doing anything about it bghw just whatever his dad tells him to do to ensure the dirty money keeps rolling in. You know bghw that Barney will dispute that brown is following the money trail till he resembles a smurf. If she locked sherman county down like prineville than we know she is power hungry. You think Barney that whatever comes out of wednesday will govern how the governor issues her stern warnings for counties warning week?
she is wanting to put fear into the warning weeks but guided with quote loving but stern gesturings. Frog what if the 87 is how old Nick actually is?
