I was in Redding yesterday, it literally looks like it did before the pandemic. No face masks no gloves. I didn’t see one person use hand santitizer in the parking lot of the stores. There were elderly people everywhere. I was kinda shocked after seeing what humboldt is doing.
Some counties have decided no for masks especially with the heat there
Especially as the heat comes on, if you are forced to work under a mask, check your fingertips for blue or purple coloration – this is a sign of hypoxia, meaning you are breathing too much CO2 and not enough oxygen. Stay safe during these insane times!
Protest Local/State Tyranny!!! Friday, May 8th, 12:00 noon. Humboldt County Courthouse, 5th street. Bring signs/flags. PASS IT ON!
That’s because Redding is less liberal. The more liberal the city, state the more tyrannical the policies.
Poorest States are Red States.
Educate yourself or quit lying.
WE NEED MORE TESTING!!!
The testing is useless. 2000+ negatives of people who could contract COVID the next day does what???
We will not be able to contact and trace / quarantine the virus out of existence. It’s world wide. Lockdown is economic suicide.
The perpetual limitations on our fundamental Rights can be justified ad infinitum based on the state’s reasoning.
Protect the at risk and free the rest of us.

Thank you guest. Logic!
It’s not the germ or the Infectious agent you guys, it’s the terrain. Sick, old people get sick easier, my contaminated bandana is not going to stop that.
We have had a total of 10 community transmissions, we are not a festering cluster of infection up here. (Community transmission is the primary indicator for increased risk of asymptomatic carriers) Masks are not needed by the general public and many experts indicate they do more harm than good.
In real life, not one run by fear,
one would mask up if you were in close quarters with a sick family member, and perhaps prophylactically those healthy family members might wear masks out in public on the SLIM CHANCE they were an asymptomatic carrier.
I’ve read the studies that they are basing these masking principles on, and unfortunately there’s very little evidence for asymptomatic carriers in Humboldt County.
People just like to feel like they are in control. That’s the bottom line.
🕯🌳Does anyone what’s going on with schools? They were pretty active at Fortuna High today. Are they going to make them go over the summer? Maybe just try to finish out the rest of this year? And how would they deal with the social distancing?🐸🖖🌍
Kids are not at risk. Sweden has had school for >16 year olds throughout our irrational government caused panic and economic depression.
Swedan has a ten percent death rate to infection for their inaction! Schools are not closed to protect children. It is to protect their families as the children are the carriers and schools are the vectors that infect them. Especially in rural areas, schools are the few places that host mass gathering every day. Nobody would like to be with our students more than us: teachers. The federal government f’d it all up. The lying and the blame sowed distrust and the ignorants fascination with glitz (and money) over science blinds them.
Actually it is being reported from NY, and other locations, kids are becoming very ill, very rapidly with heart attacks, siezures and other alarming conditions. Young children – teens. No medical person is telling us they feel they have any handle on the COVID-19 situation.
Nows the time to lock down harder than ever!👍🏿
I want to see people in straight jackets at the farmers market!
Double down.
RESIST the vovoid 19! listen to early Cure stuff, it’s way better.
Trust the most sincere facts, believe only the Best Quality Science..
I believe you Mr. Science😉
And I love you Ms. Systemic Health Care🍔
Remember folks, the biggest threat to any government entity is free educated people. Debt and fear is the control mechanism.Sound familiar? Anyone who believes this is salvation is sadly misinformed.
We are past the point of Returning to normalcy, we as a country are past the point of economic prosperity.75,000,000 people who had jobs, are now jobless. People are not paying there bills, there buying food. Ironically, we are now looking at a food shortage. Salvation? I’ll let you decide.

🕯🌳Wow I thought I was the voice doom and gloom,your twice as bad as could ever be ,but don’t fear there are jobs out there for people like you. Migrants use to do them in all that heat and dirt and dust. Wages aren’t the greatest and you won’t have too stand on a street corner and hope you get picked. Unemployment will have the applications already for you. There already experiencing it in England and France and Germany were they to have closed there boarders to migrates. The once privileged people now are seeing where and how hard it really is to get that food that you put on your table. Maybe tomorrow I’ll post a example of the application from unemployment.🖖🌍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@ Kym,
Why are you deleting my psychology today post?
I read that shit to help myself, why cant I post it for others?
So frustrating if we cant post relevant useful information while reading about Bill Gates conspiracies and FOGs daily doom and gloom.
Because you are pointing it at other people’s personalities not at ideas. And I am in so much pain from sciatica right now I have no tolerance for bullshit so don’t even push this one second further.
Am I on moderation now?
Yes.
Would you explain why I am on moderation please.
You started attacking personalities not their ideas.
Willie bray needs to be moderated, his shit is comedy and half ass conspiracy
Neither is against the rules.
Agreed. That why entheogens are still illegal.. No thinking outside the box.
Dear Humbolt County,
The Governor of our great state set up a web site where you can snitch on your neighbor if they arent following the shelter in place rules and your elected sheriff wont enforce unconstitutional mandates. Furthermore he promised ,”an Agent of the state” would respond.
You cant make this stuff up.
I’ve been prepared for a decade now willi. I have and have had enough food for my family to last a year alone. Ammo. Guns. Medical. Gold n silver. Paid off house and vehicles. I’m speaking for the other 300 million people who are not so lucky. Fighting for freedom should be all of our priority. Privileged? Or just prepared? I will not except unemployment. I will dig ditches if I have too. I have in the past. It’s not doom willi, it’s reality. Good luck out there. PS. The crappy are biting good here on the lake!
“One will always live there best if they prepare to welcome the worst.” (Me)
Even if the “numbers” are off and there are twice as many cases in the world.. Its still not even 1% of the population.. And the death rate is not even 1/2% … This is such fear mongering and a show of how scared and unhealthy people are that something almost benign on a global scale is freakin people out… Wake the fuck up!! Now youre public health officers are in charge?!? Wtf?!?! This is authoritarian and scary. Wake the fuck up. Resist. It means more tjan just bashing trump.
The death rate is significantly over 1/2%. In the area of Italy that got hit the hardest, 0.57% _of the entire population_ died. Only a small fraction of the entire population got infected. Thus, the death rate is several times this. No theories you can make can argue with this simple observed data. The exact number depends on what percentage of the population was infected, but it can not possibly be below this number.
The death rate, as of now, is NOT significantly over 1/2% unless you’re over 60. Post some facts or STFU. Ignorance begets ignorance. Italy has a large elderly population. We know for certain covid disproportionately effects the elderly. So that’s where our efforts should be focused, yet they are not. Instead we are committing economic suicide. Hysteria by liberals watching too much CNN fake news won’t help.

These statistics will likely go down when we discover how many more people were actually infected.
People over 60 are people too. Is this not a fact to you?

Another way to say it, was that April was America’s 2nd deadliest month in history.
Behind the month of October 1918, and the Spanish Flu.
Guess what. Schools were closed, mail stopped, churches shuttered….
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/americas-deadliest-month-not-april-but-a-deadly-combination-of-war-and-pandemic
Only Covid and the Spanish flu have killed 60,000 Americans in a month.
Nothing else.
234,400 Americans die every month on average.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm
164,000 people die a die on average across the globe…
As if that means anything.
Perhaps the policies should be focused on those over 60 and other high risk people so the rest of us can feed the country.
Public policy always has a trade off. Destroying the lives of millions for the sheltering of a small fraction of that is bad policy.
No ones life is destroyed.
Is this hyperbole?
You’re not paying attention. How many of these folks will never get their lives back? How many businesses will not recover?
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/april-jobs-data-show-epic-losses-soaring-unemployment-70542039
The economic catastrophe caused by the viral outbreak likely sent the U.S. unemployment rate in April to its highest level since the Great Depression and caused a record-shattering loss of jobs.
With the economy paralyzed by business closures, the unemployment rate likely jumped to at least 16% — from just 4.4% in March — and employers cut a stunning 21 million or more jobs in April, economists have forecast, according to data provider FactSet. If so, it would mean that nearly all the job growth in the 11 years since the Great Recession had vanished in a single month.
So, the deadliest month of the outbreak happened to coincide with the deadliest month of America’s involvement in World War I. Combined, nearly 215,000 people perished in four weeks. When you add those who died of other causes, such as old age, accidents, and other non-flu natural causes, the final number approached 250,000.
The loss was so enormous, it actually made American life expectancy drop from 59 years to 39 years.
The COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding economic collapse are bad. But we have endured far worse. Our country overcame October 1918, rebounded, and went on to enjoy a better tomorrow.

All this fake worrying by Trump voters.
If they were pro-worker before Covid, they would have supported mandating sick pay, sick leave, health insurance, and various other policies.
All they can do now is cry because the last thing to defend Trump with is gone.
Paying people not to work is the opposite of valuing the worker. It dismissed the value of what makes a person a worker. It values personal security of the individual over everyone else. It is the victory of fear. Even the most authoritarian of officials recognizes that the majority of the population can not survive without a society that produces what it consumes and therefore has to take risks in doing it.
Absolutely, Ullr.
Without proper policies that are supported by demographics, the confusion just keeps increasing.
Imagine being an 80 year old Veteran of Foreign Wars and you catch #19 from your healthcare professional. There you are trapped inside societies containment vessel (old folks home) without the ability to run from harm.
Or maybe worse, you’re a 22 year old graduate of the local community college and you land a great job caring for the old forgotten war horses. When the #19 arrives you swear that this wasn’t what you signed on for.
Problem disappears when 80% of your duty roster dies from outside infection.
Well … let’s see now … why did these old timers get sent to war?
60,000 American people died from Covid just in April.
That’s not chump change, fake news or CNN reporting.
Quit forgetting. That’s 1 Vietnam worth of casualties in not 8 years, but 1 month.
Why was that war fought Brian? What was the goal? What did 60,000 people give there lives for?
To end a communist state and bring freedom and prosperity to an oppressed people.
What have the 60,000 lives that died here brought to the other 343,000,000 people in this country Brian?
They gave their lives so a corrupt administration could try to entrench its power for four more years.
i have to give that one to you bushytails! Because the republicans are the ones forming pacts to continue lockdowns ,enforce orders , give out free money and social assistance along with letting criminals go,encroaching on personal freedoms and controlling media with propaganda? Last I looked those were all blue states. Like I say, this will all end nov 4th. Political gain for the left? You betcha! Trumps ratings just went to 50% approval btw. Americans see through the bullshit of this “self induced crisis “ remember who wants to put this country back to work…… people don’t want to live off government assistance in a free country, well, apparently some do. I’m off to work for the day….
It’s not remarkable to me that you think Vietnam was a success.
It’s also not remarkable to me that you see our response to Covid as a failure.
You really don’t surprise me anymore.
You need a hike, and a history lesson.
You brought it up Brian, not me.
I was raised by a Vietnam vet,[edit]. Thousands sacrificed there lives for a belief of freedom and duty to country. You don’t have to agree with the war, very few do, but lives were lost for a reason, it wasn’t for government control and to hide in fear.
[edit]
You’re parent got suckered or drafted for another bullshit American hegemonic escapade.
Sucks for them, and I empathize with them.
So were you a draft dodger?
Don’t do a Real Bryan to derail this into more of a spitfest than it already is. I doubt whether there has been a draft in TRB’s lifetime.
Does it even occur to you that economic disruption has lead to wars in the past? It certainly was a cause of WWII and its aftershocks through the Vietnam War. It certainly was a precipitating situation for mass migrations, pillaging and destruction throughout history. It’s no wonder that war, pestilence and famine- the age old fears- are all found with economic disasters. To not be concerned with the economy is to be ignorant of history too..
Im talking overall in the world versus total human population.. It is not even a half a percent has been infected.. Let alone died.. Feel free to stay in your fear hole as long as youbwant..
The only reason Humboldt County’s case load is low is because we are sheltering in place, once we start gathering in close groups, then more case load.
How much more?
Until we have nothing rollin…..
“Once someone has nothing they will do anything for something.” (Me)
Debt is control. Fear is control. Mix the two….. and…… covid crisis ! Humboldt is a perfect example of it . No new cases. No deaths, but here we are, jobless,still in lockdown and forced to comply to orders when we leave our home.
Squeeze the People
Offer temporary relief
Continue to squeeze the People
Offer permanent relief… you only need to abdicate your Natural Rights.
I’ll take easy and inaccurate answers to life for $300, Alex.
Fear makes people irrational. And on a hair trigger over anything that smacks of being told to calm down. But who would have thought that the idea “going out” would have reached that level of fearfulness so fast…
That theory makes no sense whatsoever. The people controlling you are doing so in order to profit from exploiting your labor. They want you to be working. This is why all the pressure for you to get back to work is coming from elite business owners, as is the funding for the protests (you know, the ones where you think you’re protesting but you’re actually being sheep and acting as pawns for the wealthy elite). We’ll all still be just as much of wage slaves if all the restrictions were lifted today… Except we’d be wage slaves with a lot more dead friends and relatives.
You’re conflating two different things.
Government sanctioned corporate monopolies are not good for the People. Debt issued fiat currency is not good for the People.
Work is good for the People.
I trade my labor to my clients in exchange for an agreed upon ‘thing’ of value. This is not exploitation. In this country we all have the freedom to enter into (or not enter) contracts with private entities. If you don’t want to work for Evil Corp then don’t sign the contract. If you don’t want to financially support Evil Corp then don’t buy their products.
75,000,000 Americans that had jobs are now jobless, how is that a wage bushytails? Your not a “wage slave” as you say, your just a slave.
Well if you like to eat .. YOU profit from other peoples labor …Farmers, Ranchers, Food processors, Truckers, Warehouse Personnel, Stockers,
Cashiers, you know WORKERS!
Strange that the cdc stats aren’t reflecting the new cases from the employees at Target
Pretty soon these threads will be nothing but RWNJ comments. Congratulations, these threads aren’t worth reading any more. Mission accomplished. See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya. Persistence has paid off.
Conspiracy insanity, white nationalist, Trumper platform. RHBB was a nice alternative to Loco for a short while but it has succumbed . Sad.
Inevitably in dismissing complications offered by others instead of being willing to discuss them, you do create place of uselessness. It takes two to tango, ferger bieber.
