Two More COVID-19 Cases, One Hospitalized
Information from the County of Humboldt:
March 26, 2020 – Public Health Lab Report
Total positive cases confirmed on March 26: 2
- Total number of positive cases: 12
- Total number of active cases: 11
- Total number of hospitalizations: 1
Total number of people tested by Public Health Laboratory: 191
Total number of people tested by all other sources: 160
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California Department of Public Health and commercial labs)
The Public Health Laboratory currently has a capacity of approximately 500 tests and can process about 30 samples a day with an approximate turnaround time of 48 hours.
—-Two additional cases of COVID-19 were confirmed today, one by the Public Health Laboratory and the other by a commercial lab, bringing the number of known cases in Humboldt County to 12. Today also marked the first hospitalization of a COVID patient since the outbreak began locally.
Both of these cases are under investigation.
The mechanism of transmission of the fifth case, from March 24, has not yet been determined.
Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said, “It remains everyone’s responsibility to comply with the shelter-in-place order,” adding that all non-essential travel should be canceled.
The shelter-in-place order remains in effect through April 9. For current information about COVID-19, visit cdc.gov or cdph.ca.gov. Local information is available at humboldtgov.org or during business hours by emailing [email protected] or calling 707-441-5000.

It seems like every day they provide less information. Still it is not clear.
Is it 12 positives in 351 total tests?
The hospitalized case is a 26 year old female at St. Joseph’s. She is in the PCU, one level of care below ICU. This thing can hit anybody, any age, hard.
The US now has the highest number of total cases, including China, and the highest number of active cases, in the world, at 85, 268, and 82,111. The death toll was 266 today and will surely climb, as indicated by the rate at which new cases are emerging (13,355 today). There are over 23,000 cases in NYC alone.
China seems to have stopped making any effort to count or at least report new cases. OTOH, one for the prez, #1 in corona virus cases.
China has been reporting their new cases… all one in the last week? the rest have been people traveling into the country. It’s looking like they’ve successfully contained it.
So they say but “patient interviews with those exhibiting symptoms such as fever were simplified, and blood tests to detect antibodies produced during infection were discontinued. As a result, “suspected patients were released back into society,” he said.” https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2020/03/b09b868ec468-breaking-news-wuhan-doctor-blows-whistle-on-manipulation-of-virus-patient-numbers.html
South Korea is a more useful example.

Excellent link. Thank you. Let’s hope that MD doesn’t get arrested like the original 7 in December

“But the doctor, who works at a quarantine facility, said the government tally “cannot be trusted.”
The number of patients currently undergoing treatment is deliberately being reduced in an effort to show the Xi government’s success in combatting the epidemic, he said.”
China is not as reliable as South Korea.
Sorry if this is a duplicate post. Some just keep disappearing and I don’t know if it will show up or not
This type of tactic sounds suspiciously like the rUMP Admin
Yet you are not under arrest under the Trump Administration. And that’s the level of control to do China’s government propaganda. Remember Dr. Li ? In case you don’t- https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51364382
Perhaps China has successfully contained the virus or maybe their authoritarian government is lying.
Oh lemme guess, the Coronavirus is Trumps fault? As tough as things are his approval numbers are rising! Him and Sleepy Joe( or any lib stand in)are neck and neck in key states!
Haha. Do you really believe turmup is telling you the truth. Haven’t you watched any of the Covid teams trying to tell the real truth and then the imbecile opens his mouth and the lies pour out.
Hey North West , Thank you for that..Have you seen any of his Creepy Kids standing up there with him ? They probably have it…He talks so much SHIT…..
The rUMP would NOT know truth if walked up behind him & lost a foot kicking his FLABBY A$$!!!!
Is that how to remedy a small irrationality? By flooding the world with huge irrationality?
the Covid doctors are all schills working for Hillary Clinton, that is why Trump is not listening to them
Dr. Fauci was quoted as saying he loves Hillary Clinton and that her speeches made him cry and he loves her so much.
That is not even a funny parody of liberal’s comments. It’s just bad trolling.
Oh boy, that takes the cake. That has got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard a Trumper say.
Congrats.
The point was it was not a Trumper. It is just a troll. So don’t troll back. It’s mating call of trolls.
It’s his job to protect our country! Maybe Trump should travel to China and check it out in person. Then on to Italy to meet with execs there! Sounds like a plan to me… Is he willing to put his life on the line for the country he serves?
Thank you….I will pay for the plane ticket….
If Hitlery old bag had gotten in, a lot more of us would be sick. Trump made correct decisions early, and slowed it way down. Perhaps you could turn away from your communist manifestos and check out the just and wonderful world of capitalism. Fuck Bernie
You are completely delusional. Did you forget the three weeks he WASTED calling it a Democratic hoax? Or the fact that he DISBANDED the CDC Pandemic Response Team two years ago because he thought we wouldn’t need it? What exactly you think he did right? Or did you just feel like blindly praising Glorious Leader for no reason? You people are fucking pathetic.
Trump’s a liar. His first action was to disallow entry to non US citizens who had travelled to China during the previous 2 weeks. And that very small action was done 3 weeks after the first reports about the virus. The actions taken in California were all by Governor Newsome. Trump did little or nothing besides bragging and getting in the way of professionals.
Missed the national news lately? Regarding Newsome, it was a bold action. Whether it helps to slam the barn door after the horse has escaped versus shutting the barn door quietly without damaging it is a solution or not I do not know. Give it a couple of months and it will be more clear.
Maybe China is telling the truth and Trump is lying. Let’s see Trump has lied over 12,000 times and China………… uhmmmm nobody knows. Conclusion; if Trump’s lips are moving he is most likely is lying.
Eliminating the number of time he was deliberately (or stupidly) misunderstood and so called what he said a lie would certainly cut the count by two thirds. Or more.
Im thinking you are laughing as you type these utter nonsensical claims because, well, that’s how you get your kicks. It’s a cheap thrill, nothing else.
One more just ticked up on the misunderstanding side of the tally.
When the case studies are completed and books are written about this episode, there are very few politicians who are going to come out looking good. Trump is definitely not one of them, distorted hyperbolic attacks on him notwithstanding.
I don’t care for Gavin Newsom but so far he’s on a path to being put in the “good” column for the robust and timely response in this state. Many of the problems we’ve had here are from the weak response at the federal level, with TSA dropping the ball as an example.
I have never been a Newsom fan…but I agree. He’s been reasonably on point and obviously listening to the experts. I’m more impressed than I had expected.
Cuomo would have been their only chance
China is full of shit, they’re lying about the total number of infected and deceased
Riiiiight, if the numbers don’t support your prejudices then the numbers must be wrong!
They lied about SARS too. I’m old enough to remember. Prejudge a communist authoritarian government? Who me? 🙄
The Chinese government is very, very aware of their own people’s reactions. They spend huge effort controlling what they let their people hear lest the government has to face protests like Tiananmen Square forty years ago. Because they do that though does not mean the US has to buy what they’re selling.
The number of new cases is actually 17,179.
The doubling time of cases remained at three days today.
California’s case growth is on an explosive exponential curve, with the rate of daily growth more than doubling and breaking 1000 for the first time today.
I wish her well and hope she recovers fully. It is no comfort to her or her family, but I did want to point out that yesterday our cases doubled from five to ten and today we only have two new cases.
This doesn’t mean anything at all since we don’t have enough tests, but it’s a cute little bedtime story that might help somebody get some sleep tonight anyway. If we’d had 20 or 100 cases today, I don’t think I could personally sleep.
Stay safe, Humboldt.
The smaller number of cases that might be caused by community transmission are of much greater concern than the nine cases that originated from outside this area. We have no idea how many undetected infections there may be. We could be looking at much worse numbers soon.
What you mean is that community transmission is harder to contain. But community transmission started in the first place from a traveler who was not isolated. Anyway we are certain to be looking at much worse numbers.
My best to our medical providers whose stress levels must be huge right now. I’m doing my best not to contribute to it.
Here’s something to think about, as far as, “reported cases,” goes: https://www.amgreatness.com/2020/03/19/dangerous-curves/?fbclid=IwAR1mgKEAJ7pVRwvLdpFIzgGDHmIvhvd3qj-FOIKETnROjUHmu4BIJ-irqWE Our numbers are flawed, because we’re only testing severe cases. Italy’s numbers are extremely flawed, for the same reason. China’s numbers stand for themselves. How many fatalities, out of 1.3 billion people? Extrapolate that number out to the US, and tell me how many people you think are going to die.
It’s a farce, an illogical, manufactured panic. MRSA, and the flu, kill far more people, day in, and day out, and they have for many, many years — yet we don’t shut down society for them.
China is lying
Care to prove that claim?
🕯🌳Is this woman that broke her leg?🖖
The woman who broke her leg is not the person with flu symptoms. They were two separate incidents.
🕯🌳Thank you Kym. 🖖
Homemade disinfection solution.
Thanks for info. Now we are out of aloe Vera gel and alcohol. Sweet (eye roll)
Vodka works. I don’t know how much proof translates into strong enough, but anything that gets you very drunk very fast might be able to save your life. It’s worth seeing what’s left in your liquor cabinet.
Yeah, I don’t think Vodka is high enough. Most Vodka is only 80 proof. By contrast that’s only 40% alcohol content. They say it needs to be 60%. By contrast, The 190-proof variation of Everclear is 92.4% ethanol by weight. I have been eyeing all of my liquor to figure it out. The grain Alcohol I have I got from a company not in California to make tinctures. It’s higher than Everclear. I am bummed I have to use it for hand sanitizer now!
The “Proof” of Alcohol is half of the percentage!!! 150 proof is 75 %!!!
Some booze distilleries in the Bay Area are using their stills to make hand sanitizer grade alcohol. Wonder if they could make something like that here? I got a couple of Alcohol bottles from the dollar store the other day.. and they were only 50% Alcohol BUMMER! I did find some hydrogen peroxide and use that to spray surfaces.. Lucky for me I have a gallon of organic grain alcohol laying around and a ton of Aloe plants growing.. but I will probably get Abated for my Aloe plants.. at some point.. because they are probably worth a ton now! Lol.
It was inevitable that Humboldt Co would find its place in the stats. Still it’s disturbing now that we have.
It is! Still not as bad yet as most areas! The Bay Area has almost doubled in cases! New York is soo sad! New Orleans is about to get super crazy. Can’t imagine what is happening or going to happen in even less developed countries.. Humboldt seems like a good place to be.. considering…
They’re still putting 10% of pure alcohol in our gas !what the hell ?
Yeah. It’s crazy. This is a good article about what’s happening with the hand sanitizer situation.. Apparently there are a bunch of ridiculous red tape that the FDA has been very slow to take action to stifle for the time being to get the Handsanitizer to the Hospitals and the public.
‘The alcohol is not denatured or mixed with a bitter additive to make it undrinkable. The FDA insists this step is “critical” because of cases of poisoning, sometimes fatal, among young children who have accidentally ingested hand sanitizer’
‘If we could get the FDA to say yes you can use the beverage grade and for the duration of this emergency at least for some point in time here for the next two weeks you can waive the denaturant we would literally have millions of gallons of hand sanitizer available within a matter of days,” said Monte Shaw, CEO of Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, an ethanol trade group. “Every one of our plants has gotten contacted by people who want this stuff and we can’t send it to them.”
‘We are literally three miles from a plant that has as much ethanol as you could imagine,” he said. “We’re sitting on millions of gallons of alcohol. If we could rally the federal government to say look if you just let us work with local ethanol producers we have the expertise, we have the ability to provide hand sanitizer to hospitals not only in Nebraska but all across the country that are just reaching out through my network saying if you could send us hand sanitizer, we’re out.”

I heard combining this stuff called soap with a little water works too.
Cause everyone carries around a sink in their car..
Alcohol is still avaibile at most garden supply stores.
How the hell do you even have that information, if it’s true?
It says right on the pump
Maybe you should read before you put anything in your car , better yet you should take it to a shop
I was watching the coronavirus dashboard when America went over the top of China and Italy and I immediately broke into a ‘U….S….A! U….S…..A! U….S…..A! chant. I figured without the olympics it’s the best we can do. ;>)
USA took gold in the 100k case event today. Italy on a pace for silver, followed by Spain for bronze. China drops out of competition after crossing the 80k mark.
Italy on pace to clinch gold in the 10k death event soon, possibly tomorrow. Spain leading for silver as the USA mounts a valiant effort to catch up with the crowd competing for bronze, with a doubling time consistent at about 2.5 days since 3/20.
USA a heavy favorite for gold in the 150k case event and sure to be a strong contender in the 15k death event.
That not harmless humor. That is ugly panic mongering and the result of not understanding epidemics, disease nor statistics. This disease will kill the same percentage of people whether it is China, the US or Italy. Whether it is now or over the next few months. China has not stopped it but has analyzed the stats, decided they can easily sacrifice the number who will die, are more interested in stopping their own citizens from panicking while they pursue their goal of control by making it worse for people who don’t toady to them. While we have commenters making things worse. The same short sighted ones that left us with almost no manufacturing capability with their futile world order propaganda.
It’s not panic mongering. It’s sardonic and grounded in an understanding of what temporal data series indicate about the exponential growth trends we’re on at this point. If you can’t handle the trends derived from hard data without panicking, that’s your problem.
“This disease will kill the same percentage of people whether it is China, the US or Italy.”
Wrong. And to shore up your wrong contention you spin a conspiracy theory about China. The data indicating disparate outcomes related to the performance of epidemiological control and healthcare systems throughout the world don’t support your ideological hobby horse.
The fact is, without the growth trend in the US making a miraculous reversal over the next few days, we’ll be at over 150k cases within a week and still climbing fast, even if the rate becomes linear. If the US gets through this wave with only 15k deaths, we should consider ourselves very lucky.
Read the article linked in Chuck U’s post below. Is that also “panic mongering?”
Now you can go cry, scream, eat a box of bonbons, put your fist through the wall……whatever.
I read that days ago. But you know what panic monger does? People do stupid things like buy up all the toilet paper, start using various other thing and crash the sewer system. Or they create stay at home orders so that the the person who has been working stays home to care for children and is not there to clean teeth or drive supplies to the hospital or manufactures. Doctors are ordering hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to get for themselves and relatives so that people who rely on the medications can’t get it. People will try to get away from cities and kill themselves on the road. Etc, etc, etc.
It’s not that won’t be a substantial number of deaths due to this virus. There will be. But the panic will also cause deaths and, unlike the deaths due to disease, these will be avoidable deaths. Totally avoidable just by dealing with each urgency as it comes up and stop manufacturing them ahead of time. That much is within everyone’s control.
Facing the reality of what lies ahead of us isn’t panic mongering. Some people will panic no matter what. People buying excess toilet paper that will sit for months is silly, but I wouldn’t get too bent out of shape about it. All that will happen is that there will be a demand trough for TP after the demand peak. People who dispose of sanitary wipes in the toilet aren’t panicking, they are ignorant.
“[Panic mongers] create stay at home orders so that the the person who has been working stays home to care for children and is not there to clean teeth or drive supplies to the hospital or manufactures.”
Oh, so the shelter in place order is “panic monger” and makes no allowance for essential services? And dentists shouldn’t protect themselves from potential infection from patients, or vice-versa?
“Doctors are ordering hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to get for themselves……..”
And they deserve it, since they are the ones most obligated to face elevated risks of exposure. Do you have definite knowledge of a shortage for patients? If not, then STFU.
“People will try to get away from cities and kill themselves on the road.”
That’s people violating shelter-in-place, which is something I’ve been railing against all along.
Since you love the Olympic sports commentator style so much, here’s some more:
Italy clinches gold in the 10k death event at an unmatched pace of 889 deaths per day! Spain is leading for silver, at an almost as brutal 844 deaths per day. But there could be a challenge in the works, as USA, at a 515 death pace today and growing faster by leaps and bounds, prepares to blow past France , Iran, and now irrelevant China to chase Spain. The MAGA crowd holds out hope that pixie dust sprinkled on China will uncover tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of deaths that will put their favorite back in the lead and deny Italy gold on a challenge. But for now the big question remains, can USA close the gap and edge out Spain for Silver? With over 118,000 active cases USA has more than twice the fuel of Spain to support a surge as Spain pulls away from the halfway mark chasing silver. But the current 3700 death gap gives Spain hope to hold off USA in the the dash. Whatever happens, two things are certain. It’s going to be an exciting duel in the coming days and USA has great days ahead of it in the larger and more significant events!
Don’t worry the malaria vaccine will cure Corona virus too!
As the old saw says, some things can’t be fixed. This sort of comment is one of them. I’d call Kym’s attention to the gender based slur but that obviously is also not something to be fixed.
so this is the first one hospitalized? so i guess it would be really hard to flatten this curve unless we cut the person in halves
[Edit: Dan, I know we’re all stressed but insulting others, calling for violence have put you on moderation. Please consider taking a minute before pushing send.]
They , we should be testing every person in the county , and in California then We would really know who had it and the sick people could stay home and less would get infected. Guess we would have to pull some strings….May the sick peoples get better!
Wouldn’t make much difference. This disease will run its course regardless of tests just like that bad china flu that nailed us in the late 1980s. If you are looking for blame, look to a society that eats bats ,snakes,anteaters and anything else that moves and believes bear parts and elephant tusks have sacred medicinal value.
Outdated stereotypes raise their head again, to deflect attention from the abysmal response of the West to this outbreak relative to that of China.
It’s pathetic but he keeps repeating it. It’s all designed to get a rise out of people.
We’re not supposed to accuse eachother of being trolls, I guess it’s not necessary anyways, they satand out like a sore thumb.
I imagine a lot of juvenile tee hee heeing going on as they type it out. SMH
One man’s troll is another man’s fair haired child. It is not what they believe that makes a troll. It’s being in love with the nature of trolls- the bone crunching, oblivious , stinking nature that justifies dumping hate but can’t smell the stink on themselves.
Where pray tell are they supposed to find the necessary items for all of those tests???
Standard 80 proof drinkin’ liquor is only 40 percent alcohol and not strong enough for hand sanitizer. Even Bacardi 151 is only a bit more than 74 percent. (And way expensive for a hand-soap)
90 percent Isopropyl rubbing alcohol will do the trick and is dirt cheap. (No sin taxes on that poison)
And Yes, the Local “Boldt” distillery is making hand sanitizer out of good rye whiskey. (Nooooooo…….)
I’m not hunting up the link for youse; but you saw the story here, or Loco or the Times-Standard, just a few days ago.
75% to be precise!!!
Pearls of wisdom from a front line ER doc
https://texags.com/forums/84/topics/3102444
Thank you. This is very useful information. Sounds like a report from the “war zone”.
A must read for a dose of reality like a bucket of ice water over the head.
“2-11 days after exposure (day 5 on average) flu like symptoms start. Common are fever, headache, dry cough, myalgias(back pain), nausea without vomiting, abdominal discomfort with some diarrhea, loss of smell, anorexia, fatigue.”
“Day 5 of symptoms- increased SOB, and bilateral viral pneumonia from direct viral damage to lung parenchyma.”
“Day 10- Cytokine storm [severe immune reaction] leading to acute ARDS and multiorgan failure. You can literally watch it happen in a matter of hours.”
“81% mild symptoms, 14% severe symptoms requiring hospitalization, 5% critical.”
” Patients are coming in hypoxic[deprived of oxygen] (even 75%) without dyspnea. I have seen Covid patients present with encephalopathy [impaired brain function resulting from disease], renal [kidney] failure from dehydration, DKA.”
“China reported 15% cardiac involvement. I have seen covid 19 patients present with myocarditis, pericarditis, new onset CHF and new onset atrial fibrillation.”
“Worldwide 86% of covid 19 patients that go on a vent die. Seattle reporting 70%. Our hospital has had 5 deaths and one patient who was extubated. Extubation happens on day 10 per the Chinese and day 11 per Seattle.”
Now consider the number of ventilators that are projected to be needed, and that 70%+ of the patients on them will die. A large percentage of the survivors will have permanent lung damage.
Harsh.
This is the truth

Get High Stay High
Wonder how long it will take for the testing to catch up with the fact that this has been here all year?
The words coming out of you [edit] are not facts.
Dang, the [edit] of my mild euphemism lets the imagination run wild! Not sure that was the desired effect.
Subtext; Its in the local health care system now.
By not releasing the general location of the people, city to town, with the virus and giving people a reason to use stricter due diligence in the prevention in their location, is childish and a disservice to the community. It leads me to believe “what other information of importance to they feel we can’t handle”. I no longer feel I can trust these county officials to be be candid and honest about this emergency. To me, omission of information is in the same category as lying. Most of us are adults and there should not be privileged information, within the law, withheld during these times.
When you have an unknown, it usually promotes misinformation and speculation.
It is safe to assume the virus is near enough to expose you no matter what. So having it confirmed that there’s A CASE near you should make no difference in how you behave. It can only offer false comfort if it is not, which may make some relax their efforts, or cause hardship for those singled out as more risky. I do not see the advantage in knowing.
All tRump has done is slow down our response and testing methods ; by refusing the WHO test kits and privatizing them to be made by 2 companies only. His only interest lies where it has always been …how can I line my pockets at the expense of others?
Are you saying that WHO had an extra 300million test kits, approved by our laws and standards, ready made and available for this virus ?
Are you 12?
You are misinformed to the max.
Are these new cases tied to that airline flight and the travelers that recently came into the county with the virus? Or are these new cases from community spread?
Where’s the status report from Dr. Frankostein’s DHHS office for today 3-27?? You won’t see it because the numbers are up more aren’t they Doctor?? What that investigation results into the travel agency’s trips they scheduled knowing the virus was a threat when your clients went on their trips?? How’s the Arcata airport testing going?? NOT!! Why test-everyone gets to come back and contaminate the rest of the community. That’s what viruses do-make you spread spread spread and not feel guilty as you do it.
Why are the grocery markets not getting bulk shipments of TP and water only? Marketing tells you double down when demand is high and continue until saturation occurs.
My best friend told me 35 years ago, you need TP, 22’s, and matches and you’ll survive any big society collapse. Heh-yeh got all those for survival items?
Lastly-if no report daily by Dr. Frankostein, then things are worse than the day before and she WON’T tell you!!!!! She’s our weakest link in Humboldt. Call her out on it-we pay her salary!!!!
You want today’s report before 8:00 am? Wouldn’t that just be yesterday’s report?
Yeh!!! Its almost 12pm and Dr. Frankostein hasn’t done -hit with a report.
Get my message-its worse in numbers and she WON”T say squat!!
Silence isn’t what any of us concerned citizens want so wake up.
At $200k+ per year I expect a lot from her.
You are really that naïve?
I think once a day is reasonable and she has been updating once a day.
Kyn, Not trying to argue,but she has not reported any info for today 3-27 with yesterday’s final numbers up to 6pm. She is a day behind every day 24hours and she is choosing to not honor openness and transparency.
The numbers have been posted roughly every 24 hours. Yesterday’s numbers were posted in the evening. So are today’s https://kymkemp.com/2020/03/27/two-more-cases-of-covid-19-in-humboldt-bringing-the-total-to-14/

I’m with you.
This laxadasical shit is going to fuck us all in the long run.
That’s CRAZY and BullShit! People need to travel to take care of sick family members!! Take your own health into accountability! Take the measures needed to protect YOURSELF, and your Loved Ones! Seriously tho.. some random steps into my six foot zone and it might be a SNAP FIGHT, at the very least you might be feelin some straight Attitude! The gov. Is not going to wash your hands for you!

Learning how to hate a group of people you have never met is first step one of becoming a apprentice fascist, then nationalize industry, censor free speech, confiscate money and property, presto, you get a swastika.
Trump is trying his hardest but I suspect Trump already knows the mindset (because he can totally relate) of the bigots he plays to, assuring a vote.
Newsom has cancelled eviction laws and enforcement until the end of May.
There is a process to go through, but renters who can not afford rent because of being affected by Covid 19 now have protections.
Kudos to Gavin, that’s a big deal.
Newsom gave local municipalities the authority to suspend mortgage foreclosure and eviction processes … now, will Humboldt follow suit? The powers that be here have not demonstrated much concern for the “little people.” So it will be a miracle if they do.
The police in Eureka have already said they are not working any eviction orders. I suspect other are doing the same.
I think it’s the other way around.
30 counties in California had already developed policies essentially aiming to protect renters, before Gavin’s announcement today.
What Gavin did was make a baseline that is now statewide. So if counties have or develop their own policies, those county policies can override the State policy.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/489910-california-gov-newsom-declares-statewide-moratorium-on-evictions-for
Little good it will do for a lot of So Hum Folks. The moratorium only applies to Federally backed Morgage’s anyway. With soo many Owner carry situations around here, It will probably not help So Hum much, unless Humboldt agrees to non eviction.. But if people are having troubles.. Write your “lender” and see if they might work with you anyway.. at least I would. The supervisors should act and make some sort of moratoriums that work for people here..
Why Is America Choosing Mass Unemployment?
But the sudden collapse of employment was not inevitable. It is instead a disastrous failure of public policy that has caused immediate harm to the lives of millions of Americans, and that is likely to leave a lasting mark on their future, on the economy and on our society.
But the sudden collapse of employment was not inevitable. It is instead a disastrous failure of public policy that has caused immediate harm to the lives of millions of Americans, and that is likely to leave a lasting mark on their future, on the economy and on our society.
…..
The federal government’s first and best chance to prevent mass unemployment was to keep the new coronavirus under control through a system of testing and targeted quarantines like those implemented by a number of Asian nations. But even after it became clear that the Trump administration had failed to prepare for the pandemic, policymakers still could have chosen to prioritize employment by paying companies to keep workers on the job during the period of lockdown.
A number of European countries, after similarly failing to control the spread of the virus, and thus being forced to lock down large parts of their economies, have chosen to protect jobs. Denmark has agreed to compensate Danish employers for up to 90 percent of their workers’ salaries. In the Netherlands, companies facing a loss of at least 20 percent of their revenue can similarly apply for the government to cover 90 percent of payroll. And the United Kingdom announced that it would pay up to 80 percent of the wage bill for as many companies as needed the help, with no cap on the total amount of public spending.
