Dear Neighbors and Friends,
I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well, staying healthy, and looking out for your neighbors and friends during this past week.
As you'll see from the various updates, links, and graphs in tonight's newsletter, we’re continuing to see the schizophrenic effects of the COVID Delta summer surge winding itself down. Cases and hospitalizations—though still relatively high—are steadily going down. COVID deaths, however, continue to be reported at record levels, particularly among the unvaccinated. (September was the single highest month for reported COVID deaths in Oregon.) Given the way that deaths lag cases and hospitalizations by several weeks, we should soon be seeing those numbers decline as well.
During the last week we saw two days with extraordinarily high numbers of reported COVID deaths (59 and 82), which made the picture even grimmer. However, a closer look reveals that many if not most of those deaths actually occurred months ago. They were instances (which we’ve seen several times already during the pandemic) of the reporting getting cleaned up and cases catching up and making their way to the state long after they occurred. If you just look at deaths that occurred during the last week or so, the picture isn’t as dire.
On the vaccine front, we’ve learned that a third of all seniors have already received a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Those numbers will increase further now that the Moderna vaccine is on track for booster authorization. You’ll find the latest news on that further down in the newsletter.
Along with the COVID news, I’m also including updates on a couple of the issues that I’ve been working on: support for immigrants and refugees, and support for those in need of court-appointed guardians for various reasons.
Today, by the way, is my birthday—and actually, it’s one of those important, decennial ones. Kiki and I have been celebrating in Canada this week, having a wonderful little getaway. I feel very safe here, COVID-wise, but I'm also picking up on some of the interesting differences between our two countries.
Canadians can’t understand why they can’t yet come to the U.S., even if they’re fully vaccinated, as most of them are, and their COVID numbers are so much lower than ours. I have to tell them that it’s a mystery to me as well.
People here (Vancouver and Victoria) strike me as being very nonchalant about the necessary COVID precautions. By that I don’t mean that they don’t follow them scrupulously—they do. They put on their masks when indoors. They pull out their vaccination documentation when they need to (e.g., whenever dining indoors). Every restaurant has someone who checks vaccination status (only those fully vaccinated can dine indoors), and it's done in a straight-forward, friendly manner. I haven’t heard anyone complaining or protesting the way they so often do back home. O Canada! It’s very refreshing.
Until next week, please stay healthy and safe, and let me know if you have any questions about information in tonight’s newsletter.

Additional Brief Updates and Links
- As expected, the FDA’s COVID scientific advisory panel recommended that Moderna boosters be made available for selected individuals. The panel will return tomorrow to work on the J&J vaccine and the possibility of mixing and matching different types of vaccines. Here's more.
- As the FDA scientists ponder whether or not to recommend that people be allowed to mix different vaccines, a recent study provides evidence that a mix of vaccines may actually provide better immunity. Here's a somewhat technical presentation of the results.

- Anti-Vaccine media are still touting the COVID-treatment benefits of ivermectin, which is designed to treat parasites in animals. I continue to receive emails from individuals who call for its widespread use—despite its harmful side-effects. Many doctors have been flummoxed by what on the surface seems like a very odd request. Here's what the American Medical Association suggests they tell patients who ask for it.
- Speaking of ivermectin, here's the latest column from Dr. Leona Wen on why we should follow the science (supportive) on the Merck COVID treatment pill along with the negative results on ivomectin.
- And speaking of misinformation, healthcare leaders at the American Academy of Nursing recently ripped into the high level of COVID misinformation being spread, including by medical professionals who know better.

- The New York Times’ David Leonhardt argues that an unvaccinated child is at less risk of serious COVID illness than a vaccinated 70-year-old. Here's why.
- This ProPublica reporter based in Germany finds the attitude there refreshingly sober, with people generally being appropriately careful about masking and vaccines, but without going overboard with unnecessary restrictions. Here's more.(By the way, I’m finding a similar attitude in Vancouver and Victoria B.C., which I’m visiting right now.)
- According to a recent Axios/Ipsos poll, President Biden is losing the trust of Americans in his handling of COVID. Not surprisingly, those who disapprove the most are those who believe the pandemic has already ended.

Here's an interesting piece from VOX with the best- and worst-case scenarios for COVID this winter.
- And here’s a similar piece from the New York Times wondering if the fall Delta surge was our last, or will we continue to "lurch between crisis and complacency."
- One of the ongoing questions about Delta and vaccines is whether or not vaccines reduce the chances that a vaccinated person will spread the disease despite being largely safe from severe illness themselves. The research is now suggesting that the chances that they will spread the disease are low. Here's why.
-
Reuters reports that vaccine mandates appear to be pushing up the proportion of vaccinated Americans significantly. This will lead to a reduction in deaths.
- The percentage of Black Americans who are vaccinated is nearly identical to the percentage of White Americans (with Latinx Americans slightly higher). This didn't happen without significant effort. Most of that effort came from trusted communicators from within the community.

Here's a nice write-up from the folks at CFM.
Passage of Guardianship Bill Draws Attention
Some of you will know that one of the areas that I’ve been working to improve for over a decade is support for those who need court-appointed guardians. There is so much work that needs to be done to get needed supports for those who aren’t in a position to manage their own affairs, but it needs to be high-quality and it needs to respect their autonomy to the extent possible. Fortunately, after years of effort, we were able to pass SB 578, which will provide the legal representation needed to assure a quality guardianship.
I’ve been contacted by several reporters wondering if passage of the bill was the result of the singer Britney Spear’s problems with her own guardianship situation. I had to let them know that this work has been going on for quite a while, and the bill was passed before the recent attention to her case. Like many of those affecting individuals with means, the abuse came from a family member. I don’t want to downplay Britney Spears’ problems, which were significant and deplorable, but it’s kind of a shame that this is what it takes to draw attention to serious challenges. Believe me, there are truly awful situations out there for people with high needs and little means. But if it requires piggy-backing off a celebrity’s difficulties to draw attention to problems that need solving, so be it.
If you haven’t seen it, here's a recent story from the Oregonian's Lizzy Acker that explains the bill and the work leading up to it.
Oregon Called Out as a State that Is Welcoming Refugees
A recent article in Stateline.org points to Oregon as one of a handful of states that is providing state financial resources to supplement the money that the federal government contributes to refugee resettlement. I’m proud to say that I was the chief sponsor of SB 718, which ultimately allocated $4.3 million to help resettle the 180 refugees coming to Oregon from Afghanistan, along with others who will be needing assistance. This was one of two bills that we passed this session to help immigrants and refugees. The other was SB 778, which creates the new Office of Immigrant and Refugee Advancement. This was our second attempt at doing so, and I want to give special thanks to Senator Kayse Jama for getting it over the finish line this time. It couldn’t be more timely.
Needless to say, more work remains. One of the pieces of legislation that failed to make it fully across the finish line in the past session was one that would create a program to provide legal support and guidance for immigrant workers and their families facing possible deportation. I’m currently working with a number of colleagues and advocates to bring it back in February.
Health Care Workforce Vaccination Dashboard Has Been Updated
For October’s data refresh, the Health Care Workforce (HCW) dashboard now includes data up to Oct. 4, 2021. The health care workforce population for each Oregon county has also been added.
As expected, vaccination rates continue to climb across all license boards and types for an overall vaccination rate of 82%. Nevertheless, you’ll find continued big disparities between different employee groups, ranging from 58% for chiropractic assistants to 98% for dentists. Click on “Licenses” to see the different employee groups. You can also search under Age, Racial/Ethnic, and County for more information.
OHA Releases Latest County Metrics: Declines Overall, with Exceptions
The latest OHA county report, showing weekly increases/decreaIses in COVID spread for each county and for the state as a whole, was released on Monday.
The report shows our statewide infection rate and test positivity rates continuing to decline, for the fifth week in a row. Even those counties in Southern and Eastern Oregon where the infection rates were off the charts are now seeing more reasonable rates (though objectively still “extremely high”).
Aside from tiny Wheeler County, all Oregon counties remain at the High Risk and the Extreme Risk levels. However, Multnomah County is now close to moving into the “moderate” range.
Weekly COVID Data and Outbreaks Reports Released: Fewer Cases and Hospitalizations But More Deaths
The Oregon Health Authority’s COVID-19 Weekly Report, released yesterday, shows decreases in daily cases and hospitalizations and an increase in deaths.
- OHA reported 9,022 new cases of COVID-19 during the week of Monday, Oct. 4 through Sunday, Oct. 10. That represents an 13% decrease from the previous week and the sixth consecutive week of declining case counts.
- The incidence of reported COVID-19 was higher in Oregon counties with population vaccination rates less than 50%.
- There were 416 new COVID-19 hospitalizations, down from 462 last week, which marks a 10% reduction and the fifth consecutive week of declines.
- There were 179 reported COVID-19 related deaths, up from 114 reported the previous week. This was the highest weekly death toll since the week of Jan. 11–17.
- There were 141,863 tests for COVID-19 for the week of Oct. 3 through Oct. 9. This is down from 151,415 reported the previous week.
- The percentage of positive tests was 8.1%, down from 8.8% the previous week.
Today’s COVID-19 Weekly Outbreak Report shows 148 active COVID-19 outbreaks in senior living communities and congregate living settings. This reflects another week of declines.
1/13/21 202 facilities
2/10/21 116 facilities
3/10/21 44 facilities
4/14/21 24 facilities
5/12/21 42 facilities
6/09/21 19 facilities
7/8/21 22 facilities
8/4/21 33 facilities
9/1/21 144 facilities
9/9/21 188 facilities
9/16/21 182 facilities
9/22/21 187 facilities
9/29/21 186 facilities
10/6/21 163 facilities
10/13/21 148 facilities
Statewide, these outbreaks have unfortunately resulted in an increasing number of deaths of residents (though fortunately nothing like what we were seeing pre-vaccination). Given the reductions in cases and outbreaks that we’re seeing, we should start seeing these increases begin to diminish in the next week or two. (Deaths nearly always lag new cases by around a month.)
8/4 1,374 (pandemic total)
8/11 1,385 (pandemic total) +11
8/18 1,401 (pandemic total) +16
8/25 1,419 (pandemic total) +18
9/1 1,441 (pandemic total) +22
9/9 1,468 (pandemic total) +27
9/15 1,492 (pandemic total) +24
9/22 1,521 (pandemic total) +29
9/29 1,547 (pandemic total) +26
10/6 1,574 (pandemic total) +27
10/13 1,619 (pandemic total) +45
The Outbreak Report also includes the latest data on COVID in workplaces, childcare centers, and public and private K-12 schools. We’re seeing an increasing number of outbreaks in schools, but it’s not clear how many of those were actually transmitted from student to student while they were at school.
Share of Breakthrough COVID Cases Continues to Increase
OHA’s most recent update on COVID-19 breakthrough cases, released today, found that 27.2% (2,490) of the 9,141 reported COVID-19 cases between Oct. 3 through Oct. 9 occurred in people who were vaccinated. This is a reduction in the actual number of breakthrough cases (vs. last week’s 2,542), but it’s an increase in the percentage of all cases (because we had smaller number of cases this week (vs. last week’s 10,421).
The latest breakthrough report can be found here.
Cases of COVID-19 continues to be much more common in unvaccinated people. The report shows that the rate of COVID-19 in unvaccinated people is currently approximately 3.5 times higher than in vaccinated people. This is a big difference, but less so than it has been. Last week’s difference was four times, and last month it was five times.
Despite the increase in breakthrough cases, the number of those who experience serious illness and death remains very small. Very few if any vaccinated people are to be found in most hospital ICUs.
To date, only 4.4% of all vaccine breakthrough cases have been hospitalized and 1% have died. The average age of vaccinated people who died was 81.
This week OHA added three new features to the breakthrough report. Data is now available by vaccine manufacturer, including the number of breakthrough cases and their severity. This report also shows the number of Oregonians who received each vaccine, as well as the number of breakthrough cases per 100,000 vaccinated people.
In addition, OHA has expanded demographic data to include race and ethnicity for breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Finally, OHA added a new map showing cumulative breakthrough cases for each county. In general, breakthrough case counts correspond with population size, vaccination rates, and overall case counts.
A Message from OHA: New Dashboard Displays Case and Vaccination Info by Age Group
Today, OHA published a new weekly dashboard, titled Oregon’s COVID-19 Case and Vaccination Stories. The agency developed this dashboard to highlight COVID-19 case trends as vaccination rates increase.
The dashboard displays COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates, COVID-19 related deaths and the percentage of Oregonians who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine over time.
Specifically, OHA compared the fall 2020 and spring 2021 surges at their peaks for those under 65 years old and those 65 and older. Data indicate the peak case rate per 100,000 for people ages 65 and older was 66% lower during the spring 2021 surge than during the fall 2020 surge. Among people under 65, a group where broad vaccination efforts took place later, the peak case rate was 38% lower during the spring 2021 surge than the fall 2020 surge.
The dashboard presents similar comparisons of hospitalizations and deaths by age group during the fall 2020 and spring 2021 surges. It is important to note that this is a population-level analysis, not an assessment of individual risk. Observing a trend, such as low hospitalization rates in a specific age group, does not mean all individuals in that group will avoid hospitalization or death after contracting COVID-19.
Because the summer 2021 surge is ongoing, a full analysis of its impacts is not yet possible. This analysis will be updated as more data become available.
For additional insights, please visit the Oregon’s COVID-19 Case and Vaccination Stories dashboard, where you can use an “Explore the Data” feature to create your own charts for COVID-19 cases, severe cases and the percentage of Oregonians vaccinated over time.
Last Friday’s OHA Forecast Shows Ongoing Decrease in Transmission, Cases, and Hospitalizations
On Friday OHA released its latest COVID-19 forecast showing a continued decline in daily cases and hospitalizations through mid-October.
According to the report, the effective reproduction rate — the expected number of secondary cases that a single case generates — was estimated at 0.91 on Sept. 22, which is a little higher than last week’s projection of 0.81 (but identical to what it was in the report two weeks ago).
At that level of transmission, the report predicts that we will see 425 cases per 100,000 people, or an average of 1,275 daily cases and 78 hospitalizations for the two-week period between Oct. 13 and Oct. 26.
The report also estimated the potential impact from the projected spread of the disease from Sept. 16 through 22, which closely tracks the reported data during that week.
At that rate of transmission, new daily cases and hospitalizations are expected to decline more steeply, with an estimated average of 350 per 100,000 people, projecting an average of 1,050 new cases and 62 hospitalizations through Oct. 26.
The report also indicated that hospitals across the state are seeing declines in COVID-19 hospitalizations and COVID-19 intensive care admissions.
The report also noted that its forecast assumes no increase in high-risk behaviors (e.g., indoor activities without masks, large indoor gatherings).
Today’s OHSU Forecast Shows Gradual Decline in Hospitalizations
Here are the latest (October 14) observations and forecasts from OHSU:
- The number of patients needing hospital beds fell to 585 as of Oct 12, a decline of 50% from the peak of 1,178 on Sept. 1.
- Region 7, which includes counties around Bend down to Klamath Falls, has not seen the same decline as other regions.
- Higher-risk indoor behaviors are back to pre-surge levels.
- While a high number of deaths have been reported recently, they reflect expected decreases when they sorted by date.
- As of Oct. 12, 24% of occupied ICU beds had COVID patients in them statewide, a decrease from last week.
- Test positivity continues to slowly decline.
And the Deaths:
Here is information about most of the 182 deaths (up from 168) that OHA has reported for the week since October 6 OHA had not yet provided detailed information on October 7’s 59 deaths, so I couldn’t include them in last week’s newsletter. You’ll find them below. On the other hand, the information on today’s reported 24 deaths isn’t yet available, so you’ll have to wait till next week for them.
Thursday, October 7
Note from OHA: Oct. 7, 2021, marked the highest number of COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon reported in a single day at 59. This is in part due to a death data reconciliation OHA performed on Wednesday, Oct. 6.
Death is a lagging indicator and follows behind a surge in cases. In addition, there is often a lag in reporting as nosologists, i.e., epidemiologists who classify diseases, review death certificates. OHA expects to see the number of deaths to be high even after case counts decrease due to the lag between when a person becomes a COVID-19 case and when they die with COVID-19.
