Total of 28 Cornavirus Cases After One New Positive Test Today: April 1 Results on COVID-19 Testing From the County of Humboldt
Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:
The number of COVID-19 cases in Humboldt County now totals 28, following confirmation of one additional positive case today.
Of those 28 people, eight had traveled internationally, 13 had contact with a known case and three are believed to have contracted the virus through community transmission. Four additional cases are under investigation.
Three quarters of Humboldt County’s cases are located around areas with the largest populations—Eureka, Arcata, Fortuna and McKinleyville. The average age of those infected is 41. Males represent 54 percent of cases, while 46 percent are female.
County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich warned against reading too much into these statistics. “It should be expected that larger population centers will have larger numbers of cases,” she said. “No area of the county is considered to be low risk because we have community transmission occurring.”

It’s about buckskin time they told us where it is!
Thank you for giving more detailed information, hopefully those that are closer to the areas of where these cases where before being confirmed to have COVID will feel like being more diligent about staying home, staying cleanly and not forgetting to respect others lives.
??I agree,thank you for the information Kym.????
It’d be really nice if they specified where the community transmission cases were at… urban, rural, southern Humboldt?
Did you.. did you read the press release?
From thirteen potential community-spread cases to seven. That’s progress.
I really dont like the “public health officer.” Didnt get voted in yet all the suddeb has all this power and voice. Never even heard her name before.. Y dont you talk aboutbhealthy things and healtht food.. Where does she shop? Blind leading the blind.
she does not look healthy
she does not look like some body thats into health
Swine and I Agree, please tell us where you went to medical school.
Our public health officer is not an elected position.
Thank you, Dr. Frankovich for keeping us informed.
Nothing like panicked frightened little voices hating on the people who are trying to help. Some peoples true natures are sadly coming out with all this.
KABANG!
But where are the other 1/4 of the cases?????
I agree with with swine, I have personally dealt with public health back in November when deliberately allowed a child with chicken pox attend my child’s preschool to prove a point about the compulsory
vaccination that is aggressively pushed excusing the disregard for healthy lifestyle choices to specific health protocols to boost the immune system as as whole. There are specific protocols tested by the world health organization which should be informed to the community even basic lifestyle activities such as breathing exercises, yoga, no sugar, whatever, theres a lot of ways to boost immune, but in general, there are practical things you can do like for example, taking vitamin D3 super helpful.. when my 3 year old got exposed to chicken pox, I knew she was going to get it that week, I boosted her immune system with different tinctures including echinacea Astragalus, and other herbs, blended with elderberry so she liked the taste, and gave her vitamin D3, c and a, and the Reishi and Cordyceps tea. use very small amounts for kids, so they don’t mind bitter Reishi taste. that’s what I did, and it worked really well, little one had a mild fever the night before only got a few spots on her back, a very mild case… there’s lot of different ways to go about anything and a combination of things that you enjoy…..
If they can’t even help provide a general tracking map with dates tracking data, anything to connect
the dots, to track other sources that would have seen the map and know if they were working for example checking out at cvs with no gloves or masks on and so forth, its valuable to know… for sure, need to raise the bar because its a really important job. use this time to improve your health, breathe and stay strong
Amen…Has anybody ever watched Joel Osteen….Maybe God is saying ” Look up and say ” HELLO “,,to someone that might just need a smile..Be kind to people ,, everybody needs a little kindness…
Joel Osteen represents the Christian 1 percent and is a too-slick Elmer Gantry type who preaches a feel-good prosperity doctrine, drives fancy cars (has a net worth over $50m), and deals in bumper-sticker theology. Utah pastor Rick Henderson condemned Osteen by name in a 2013 sermon : “He frequently misunderstands important matters of faith and doctrine when being interviewed. He repeatedly gets the Gospel wrong. ”
The fact that you bring Osteen up tells more about you than you bargained for. Thanks for the insight!
The thing is, you can’t prove that any of your efforts were valuable.
Vaccines aren’t just for your child, they’re for others as well, and younger ones too.

If someone rubs a bunny tail, prays to god, and performs a good deed to a stranger before gambling, do you think their gambling outcome relies on their previous deeds?
And could you prove a connection between the intent to any gambling outcome?
But….your kid still got chicken pox right?
my child got chickenpox, thanks to the public health nurse that insisted with the preschool that all the other child had was hand foot and mouth. she is now immune and does not need to get 3 vaccines. the chickenpox spread in this case was infected by the vaccine itself. the child that introduced the chickenpox to the preschool got it from having received the vaccine 8 days prior. the public health nurse was confused because it wasn’t within the realm of the possibility that you can get the infection from the vaccine, as it has been the case in the measles outbreak in Disneyland in 2014 initial infection to the public caused by the vaccine. was chicken pox from the beginning because they are also in denial that you can get the infection from the live vaccines. most people are being lied to and misinformed by their healthcare provider. and yes, lots of people died when these deseses were spreading in society, and the vaccines were a an amazing technology, but each desease is different, and most of them don’t exist anymore thanks to better nutrition and sanitation, not just just vaccines. moreover, every child is different, Chinese medicine looks at the body as a whole. if there was a covid 19 vaccine I would vaccinate my family , because it is super relevant for our time and the risk reward of the vaccine side effects (they exist!). all my research is science based and calculated. I used to trust the mainstream propaganda machine, Ny times, and such, but from my personal research, there is a lot of covering up and fooling people to believe they are the intellectuals because how can you deny science. well if you dig any further, the science is not all there, there are unquestionable flaws in the logic chain, so it lead me to conclude to only inject my children with endotoxins that are necessary according to my risk assessment. I will probably vaccinate my family for covid 19 . this all should be common sense everyone is brainwashed by the mainstream media. Another point is that most naturopaths and wholistic practitioners probably agree with this but they are not given a voice in this one side debate
All vaccines are relevant. Unless you don’t ever plan on leaving the United States, ever. Its a big world out there and I encourage everyone to see as much of it as they can. If you don’t vaccinate your kids, you strip them of their ability to ever do that. Also, if everyone followed your logic, all those diseases that are “gone” will surely come back.
actually we travel quite often and I always check in with CDC everywhere we go to see if there are any vaccine recommend infectious deceases and we’ve never yet encountered having to do that yet, but if we have to, then we will. when there was whooping cough in Humboldt, we vaccinated littles because we engaged in the community, however, there is no whooping cough in central America where we went, and there was no further recommendations. SO your theory is wrong, it has nothing to do if you are in America or not, its about what is going on in your local community. Also, it is irresponsible to recommend blind vaccination to all developing neurosystems, some childrens bodies are trying to recover from any series of autoimmune disease or common genetic vulnerabilities that can trigger a lifelong reaction. Dont base your decision on fear, use your calculated judgement, and do what’s best for you and your family. I am because a mother will always do her loving best for what’s right for her children. Most likely your child will overcome the vaccine shock, there is a Yale study on lasting neurological effect that one may not even notice where it makes your did more aggitated. This is a very important conversation that should initiate a bigger discussion for what we need and for what is practical for today, is focusing on incorporating real health practices in the healthcare system
There is whooping cough all over central America. That’s one of the places you cannot go without vaccines. As well as measels, mumps, and rubella, typhoid, diptheria, and a slew of most of the diseases that are “gone” here. I lived in El Salvador for 2 years when I was younger so don’t try pulling that on me.
no bulk food? what is up with this person?
Bulk food = bulk ammo.
$The study from the Wuhan Medical Treatment Expert Group for COVID-19 looked at 204 patients hospitalized in Wuhan and the wider Chinese province of Hubei. The findings showed that 48.5 percent of patients said their “chief complaint” was digestive symptoms, including diarrhea, upset stomach, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
Also fever, dry cough, sniffles, loss of smell and or taste.
Folks, what we are dealing with is much worse than anyone envisioned. I’ll try to put into perspective if I can. The last great killing we experienced was the spanish flu. That illness started in Jan 1918 and initially ran to May 1918. That first wave was fairly benign, not unlike the seasonal flu. But then it incubated in all the soldiers crammed together in the trenches and mutated and when it reemerged Oct 1918 it was a monster beyond compare with a death rate over 10% and many of the dead aged 20 to 40.
This fucker is going to be much worse. The death rate all around the world is going up fast. This first wave is turning out worse than expected, much worse than the first wave of the spanish flu. If this thing does what happened in 1918 and comes back in the fall mutated we are in serious trouble.
We absolutely have to stop this thing now. If we run into people blowing this thing off it’s our duty to lay them straight. We are now at war, like War of the World’s, only we’re the aliens that can’t handle the microbes.
Researcher,
The news on that potentially very scary reality is so far, good;
As the World Health Organization launches trials for potential treatmentsfor COVID-19, scientists studying the coronavirus are encouraged that its low mutation rate could mean that a single vaccine is possible.
According to researchers who spoke with the Washington Post, there are only around four to ten genetic differences between the coronavirus strains that have infected Americans and those of the original virus in Wuhan. “That’s a relatively small number of mutations for having passed through a large number of people,” Peter Thielen, a Johns Hopkins molecular geneticist, told the Post. “At this point, the mutation rate of the virus would suggest that the vaccine developed for SARS-CoV-2 would be a single vaccine, rather than a new vaccine every year like the flu vaccine.” Rather, a potential coronavirus vaccine would act more like those for the measles or chicken pox, in which one shot grants immunity for a substantial amount of time.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/03/low-coronavirus-mutations-mean-hope-for-a-single-vaccine.html
For Spanish Flu, your 10% number is an estimated mortality rate for those infected. The worldwide mortality rate is estimated at 2.5%. It was especially devastating because it killed indiscriminately with young people and middle aged alike.
For coronavirus there are 2 countries with 10%+/- deaths per confirmed infections and they are anomalies among the rest of the world. At 6.3 per million the current world wide death rate is 0.0006%. And, this is small comfort if you are older but very significant for humans as a whole, the primary group who die are older people with underlying conditions.
Congrats world. You just scared all the people into self-imprisonment. I for one, am over this. I will continue to live my life how I want. What would you prefer? Dangerous freedom or oppressed safety? I for one will take my chances with freedom. True freedom has always been scary, there is no guarantee you’ll survive being free, and no safety net. Our forefathers had to deal with small pox, diptheria, yellow fever, malaria, cholera, typhoid, and influenza(sans vaccine). Those people never locked themselves away, they lived their lives and looked to the horizon. We’re all going to get it, might as well get it over with. I’d rather die from coronas having gone out and lived my life than dying from it anyway while locked in my home.
Here’s George Carlin sharing his perspective on “germs”… I think you’ll appreciate it:
https://youtu.be/l_L6AS1Huno
Haha that’s pretty darn good
The virus doesn’t hunt you down. It mostly has to travel from host to host. If you aren’t near other hosts, if you stay away from everybody else, and hey, that’s what our rugged pioneer families did–stay out in the woods and rely on themselves—then you won’t get it AND more importantly, you won’t pass it on.
Exactly, just wash your hands. Unless you take a sneeze to the face by an infected person, you are only going to get sick if you are not a hygienic person anyway. Considering what Dr. Frankovich said, it makes sense. You have to be in close contact with someone that has it for 10 minutes to get it. The virus needs to establish a viable colony in order to get someone sick. One coronavirus particle will not get you sick.
Given the ease of spread with this corona virus, it’s likely we will all get infected sooner or later. There seems to be three courses of actions by government in this. One is to ignore it and deal with the consequences as best as can be done. Lots of pain but hopefully fairly much over in about 4-5 months. Sweden is mostly taking this road. The UK was doing this but panicked and didn’t stay the distance. Whether Sweden keeps to it is a hard choice for them. Much of the rest of the world will be doing this simply because they don’t have the resources to do anything else.
The next course is surgical attacks on infections finding them with testing and isolating them to keep the spread down. Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan have done this, kept their economies going more normally. In the early days, they look best for pain levels but they will have to keep at it for a whole lot longer as they are building herd immunity very, very slowly and every new exposure has to be ruthlessly pursued. Can they keep it up until a vaccine or at least a good treatment is developed? Time will tell but it will be easy to lose control which once gone is not retrievable. Taiwan and Singapore seem to be on a steep uptick at the moment, although low volume still, at the moment. South Korea has slowed infections but at the rate people are recovering and getting some level immunity means they will have to be hyper vigilant for all this year and into the next to gain an effective gradual herd immunity level.
The third couse seems to be isolation manadates, which slow the course be let it progress at a higher rate than intense tracking does. This is sort of a middle ground in which the economy is sacrificed to slow the infections somewhat to a more acceptable level and deal with the fall out as best as can be done but hopefully better than doing nothing. The US falls into this catagory, which in the end was the only choice. For all the complaining about the example’s South Korea’s or Singapore’s success, which is too early to judge anyway, this was never an option for a disunited, populous and free moving country. We are stuck with what we have and never really had any other choice. Despite the fantasies, it would not have been an option in a divided, noisy and angry place like the US. We are just not going to be sensible at other’s bidding until scared enough and by then it’s too late.
No one – although lots have opinions- knows which will result in the best combination of economic and personal survival until the hopeful arrival of a successful vaccine. That is unlikely before the end of next year at best. It is simply too early and there are too many unknowns as of yet to judge which is the best. Unfortunately only small homogeneous countries have a choice of methodology if they have the will to do it. The rest of us are just going to make our personal choices and pedal as hard as we can. We could manage a little less judgement in the face of not knowing what the right choice is. Good luck to me on expecting that result either.
Scientists had never seen anything like it. Considered the worst pandemic in history, the Spanish flu started in 1917 and, in less than two years, killed approximately 50 million people around the world. Other estimates put the global tally at twice that, but the final number won’t ever be known because the doctors, nurses and coroners who normally recorded fatalities were either overworked to the point of exhaustion or dead themselves.
Even with travel restrictions and quarantines in place, the disease spread quickly to the most remote corners of the world. In November 1918, the Spanish flu reached a tiny outpost in Alaska called Brevig Mission and killed 72 residents within five days, leaving alive only eight children and teenagers.

Pennsylvania, one of the states that was hit the hardest, faced over 60,000 deaths. Philadelphia lost about 12,000 people and had about 47,000 reported cases in just four weeks. In just six months, there were about 16,000 deaths and half a million cases of influenza in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia and St. Louis were both hit by the flu outbreak of 1918-19, but one city suffered a death rate of approximately 358 per 100,000 people, whereas the other suffered 748 deaths per 100,000.

Here’s something you’ll find interesting Brian. Sorry I can’t provide sources, as I came up with this on my own. I did end up with a biology degree with an emphasis in microbiology, so I find this stuff fascinating. After reviewing report after report from different countries I have come to said conclusion. All our gov’ts are not telling the whole truth. This virus does not attack the lungs. They have changed their rhetoric to say people with underlying health issues are more susceptible to succumbing to this virus, especially those with diabetes, from viral pneumonia or ORGAN FAILURE. This virus attacks the (hACE)2 protein in our body, of the human angiotensin enzyme 2, also known to regulate BLOOD PRESSURE. This fits well with the global model of the fatalities across the globe. Countries whose diet is based on healthy good, veggies, grains, etc., are facing a far lower fatality rate than those with unhealthy diets, Italy, Spain, USA. By only telling part of the truth, saying this is a respiratory disease, pacifies the masses, because a small percentage of the USA has respiratory illness. Why is the projected death rate so high for us then? Because the virus kills people with blood pressure issues, not respiratory. This paints a far grimmer picture for the USA, because the majority of our population is obese or has blood pressure problems. This fits well with the global model of fatalities, you can see “fatter” countries have a far higher fatality rate than “skinnier” countries. Obesity and consuming fat laden foods contribute to high blood pressure and diabetes. It even says this in most case reports, just not overtly.
Clarification of the last sentence, it says diabetes are a high risk group in all the reports. It references the virus attacking human angiotensin converting enzyme in all reports. It never says it has anything to do with the lungs in any of the reports. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome is definitely a misnomer. You Have Blood Pressure Issues You Gonna Die is more appropriate.
“They cook the sh-t out of everything now because they’re afraid of food poisoning!”
UR, I did a post that was in an earlier story that showed the death rates from different countries and worldwide. My concern is that the death rate for the last two weeks has continued to rise in every country I’ve checked, and worldwide is now over 5%. Yesterday it was a shade under and started out at 2% originally in Jan. US is now at 2.3, up from 2.1 yesterday. A month ago we were at 1.1. This is the curve that troubles me the most, especially worldwide figures. There is no sign of it flattening. When compared to the first three months of the Spanish flu this thing is much worse at this point.
Being an old fart I’ve been concerned since this thing broke out. Now I’m worried that the whole world is in for a rougher ride than I envisioned. Even if this thing doesn’t mutate (and thanks for the info TRB), if the death rate continues to rise worldwide like it is doing we’ll be passing up the Spanish flu by the time it’s over, unless SIP and SD work.
Look at the death rate of more impoverished countries vs. ones that can afford fast food, it will paint a clear picture of why the fatality rate varies so much by country. The virus attacks the human angiotensin enzyme 2, which is our blood pressure “regulator” so to speak.
It’s still a mystery. Four countries have the worst death rate. UK 8.66%, France 9.1%, Spain 9.15%, Italy now up to 12%. But the other two countries with a high number of infected both have low death rates, the US now 2.4% (was 2.3 last night and 2.1 two days ago) and Germany at 1.3%. If any countries have a poor diet its the US and Germany. It doesn’t make sense.
Hasn’t been in the US as long, it hasn’t peaked here, whereas its peaking in those other countries right now, our time is coming. I don’t know if you’ve been to Germany, but most of them are in pretty good shape. The US not so much, and Italy? They have a saying, a man of much chin is purportedly a wealthy, powerful individual. Meaning the more chins you have, the more wealthy you probably are.
With possible military rule coming. Need to analyze the police mob people intelligence files to make sure they can’t continue their rein of terror.
Like I say, a liberals wet dream….all of Bernies plans are now in effect
I live in Bayside and my neighbors who have an illegal commercial grow op across the street have dozens of people coming and going in the last few days. I finally got angry and called them out. The woman who owns the place but does not live there called the Sheriff saying she didn’t know who I was and I was on drugs threatening her on her property! I have known them for 12 years. We are really going to suffer because of people like this. If people don’t put their greed aside and step up many lives will be lost?
