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.
This is the follow-up to Wednesday’s newsletter. (I wasn't able to work on it yesterday.) It includes the usual Friday-to-Thursday numbers and information about the deceased, yesterday’s Breakthrough report, this week’s OHSU forecast (as you’ll see, it’s now combined with the OHA forecast), and a few news updates). You’ll also find the link to the next constituent coffee (a week from tomorrow). And a special welcome!
As you’ll see in tonight’s week-over-week numbers, COVID cases are continuing to decline around the state.. The same is true of hospitalizations. COVID deaths are also beginning to come down.
Until next Thursday, please stay healthy and safe, and let me know if you have any questions about information in tonight’s newsletter.
Stay Tuned for the Next Constituent Coffee—a Week from Tomorrow
A week from tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month, so November 6, 9:00-10:30 a.m., will be our next zoom coffee.
It’ll be a chance to hear the latest on redistricting, the latest on COVID and the state’s response, and the latest on the 2022 session and the bills that are already in preparation, and of course a chance for you to share your priorities and questions.
Hope to see you there! You can register here.

Additional Brief Updates and Links
- As expected, today the full FDA approved a reduced dose of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5-11, with full emergency authorization expected next week from the CDC. Here's reporting from the Associated Press and from the New York Times.
- Today the U.S. Supreme Court blocked an effort to overturn Maine’s requirement that health care workers be vaccinatedagainst the coronavirus notwithstanding their religious objections.
- Here's a national look at who’s developing breakthrough cases.
- The CDC released a report late this afternoon showing that Immunity acquired through vaccination protects people better from coronavirus infections than natural immunity spurred by a previous infection. Here’s reporting Here's reporting. (You’ll need to scroll down in this collection of the latest COVID news from the Washington Post.)
- Here’s an interesting twist on the question of how much protection derives from prior infection. A Swedish physician asks us to consider the value of "hybrid immunity, the result of a vaccine being given to someone who has already been infected. It appears to be considerable.
- Here’s the latest Checkup with Dr. Wen, which shows the contrast between vaccine progress and political polarization.
- A national survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that approximately 5% of American workers have quit their jobs rather than be vaccinated.
- Parents who do choose to have their children vaccinated will of course have to anticipate a problem that’s not unique to COVID vaccines: fear of needles. Here's some advice from various experts on how to help them through the experience.
- Here are the results of an interesting study of a new kind of COVID detection device: a "COVID Breathalyzer."Early results are promising, at least for the critically ill.
Welcome Sierra!!!
As some of you know, Logan Gilles, my legislative staffer for many, many years, has moved to another position, a very good one. He’s been such a great comrade, colleague, and partner for me, for the residents of HD 45 and SD 23, and for everyone working in the Legislature! We all owe him a great deal of thanks.
But one of his final contributions was to help me find and hire his replacement, and the result has been an excellent one. My new Chief of Staff, Sierra Pryor, began on Monday, and in the mad dash to the February session (yes, it has begun, believe it or not), she’s already proving her considerable ability.
Sierra has worked in the Legislature in the past, but most recently her work has been in Public Health policy. (Her Masters’ Degree is in Public Health.) She’ll certainly be helping me with health-related issues, but her portfolio will be quite broad, and she’ll be our first point of contact for constituents needing the office’s help. I know you’ll enjoy working with her.
Share of Breakthrough COVID Cases Increases, Severe Cases Still Limited
OHA’s most recent update on COVID-19 breakthrough cases, released yesterday, found that 27.9% (2,156) of the 7, 723 reported COVID-19 cases between Oct. 17 through Oct. 23, occurred in people who were vaccinated. This is an increase from last week’s reported 23.5%
The latest breakthrough report can be found here.
The average age of the breakthrough cases during that period was 48. Sixty-nine breakthrough cases involved residents of care facilities, senior living communities or other congregate care settings. This is 34 more than last week’s 35.
Cases of COVID-19 are far more common in unvaccinated people. The report shows that the rate of COVID-19 in unvaccinated people is currently four times higher than in vaccinated people.
To date, just 4.4% of all vaccine breakthrough cases have been hospitalized and 1% have died. The average age of vaccinated people who died was 80.
OHA Now Using OHSU Forecast--Shows a Slowdown in the Decline of Hospitalizations
Starting today, OHA will be linking to the Oregon Health & Science University COVID Forecast Model. It predicts the number of persons who are susceptible to being infected, who are actively infected or who have recovered at any previous time. OHSU uses statewide data provided by OHA.
The current OHSU report, published Oct. 28, uses data provided by OHA and others that project how fast the virus may spread in the population and provides projections on possible outcomes, including infection rates and impacts on hospital capacity.
The latest report predicts a slowing in the decline of hospitalizations due to fatigue over the public health protocols that are effective in stopping the spread of COVID-19. According to the OHSU report, this isn’t expected to generate a surge, but that risk remains. Fortunately, mask-wearing remains high in Oregon, and that is helping. (The current rate is estimated to be 90% among the vaccinated and 58% among the unvaccinated.)
Indoor restaurant and bar visits increased slightly for the vaccinated to 30%, nearly equivalent to the rate for unvaccinated.
The newest report also projects that the anticipated approval by federal agencies and the Western States Scientific Safety Workgroup of pediatric vaccine for children ages 5 through 11 would help decrease COVID-19 transmission.
And here is a writeup from OHSU on this week’s analysis and forecast.
And the Deaths:
Here is information about most of the 83 deaths (down from last week’s 134 and the week before’s 168) that OHA has reported for the week since October 21. OHA had not yet provided detailed information on October 21’s 40 deaths, so I couldn’t include them in last week’s newsletter. You’ll find them below.
