NEW: 10 new confirmed cases of coronavirus in Fresno County for a total of 156.
29 people were never hospitalized, but their number for totally recovered patients is sitting at 10 right now, but they believe it& #39;ll be higher soon.
They don& #39;t know exactly how many tests have come back negative.
They& #39;ve asked private labs to update them.
They know of 2465 negatives, so they estimate the positive testing rate is 5-6%.
(It& #39;s 5.95% if 2465 is the real number of negatives, but they think it& #39;s higher.)

Discussing models, Dr. Rais Vohra says they& #39;ve using a state forecast for the worst case scenario and seeing this region trailing the big cities by 7-10 days, so planning for ICU beds, ventilators, medication, etc. at that point.
CDC reported a large cluster of outbreaks in a Chicago suburb, where a family did birthday parties and funerals.
One sick person infected a large number of people.
Dr. Vohra is using this as a warning against family gatherings, especially with the upcoming holiday weekend.

Dr. Vohra says Fresno will be the site of a federal medical station.
It& #39;s surge preparation.
They& #39;re emergency stations with beds, supplies, and medicine for temporary shelters.
Dr. Vohra says he hopes they& #39;ll never have to use the FMS.

Relatively small sample size in Fresno County so far, he says, so race and ethnicity breakdowns aren& #39;t as valuable at this point.
