Though the case count in San Diego’s ongoing hepatitis A outbreak
increased again Monday, officials said that the number of new infections continues to slow.
In a presentation to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county’s public health officer, showed a chart that indicated
there were 31 cases in October, significantly fewer than the 81 reported
in September and 94 in August which saw the largest total of the outbreak
so far.
After seeing the chart, board chair Dianne Jacob had a to-the-point
question.
“Is it getting better, the same or worse?” Jacob asked.
“We feel it’s getting better,” Wooten replied.
The latest update bumped the outbreak’s case total to 544, eight more than
the 536 reported last week. The number of deaths did not increase,
remaining at 20 after one new death was reported last week.
Though the county has been providing weekly case, death and
hospitalization updates, there has been some confusion, even among the
Board of Supervisors, about what those numbers really mean.
Supervisor Ron Roberts noted that the weekly escalation in cases in deaths gives the public the feeling that, every time a tally grows, that means
the outbreak has grown.
But that’s not the case. Because new numbers are not added to outbreak
totals until they’ve been confirmed by genetic testing that can take weeks
to perform, the weekly numbers are not a perfect barometer of the
outbreak’s current severity.
Roberts directed officials with the county Health and Human Services
Agency to find a way to give the public a better sense of how many cases
have occurred since the last update.
“It seems to me we can give a much clearer picture by organizing our
material a little better so that people like me can understand this and
get a better feel for what’s happening,” Roberts said.
Wooten said during her presentation Monday, as she and other local
officials have said in recent weeks, that the number of new cases reported
to her department on a day-to-day basis has continued to decline.
“The number of cases that are being reported daily now has recently
decreased to one or two a day compared to three or more a day,” Wooten
said.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
