Thanks for the update. Still can’t understand why it’s been top secret this whole time.

I think she keeps it secret because it would interfere with the panic she is promoting.

I really can’t find any other explanation. It’s ridiculous that we can’t get meaningful numbers from these people.

At what point do we all stand up and say, “Look! The emperor (the Covid scare) has no clothes!”

How long do we meekly continue to wear our masks for no reason, to stay at home, to social distance, to avoid parks and beaches while crowding in line at Walmart and Target?

Are we really this stupid?

How many of your friends are you willing to see lose their livelihoods, their hopes and dreams, everything they’ve worked and dreamed for all their lives, because of an invisible threat which has not proven to be a fraction of what they warned us about?

It’s time to end this madness, and not on the government’s timeline.

Stand up.

Speak up.

If you own a business, open up.

What are they going to do, fine you?

Isn’t bankruptcy more expensive?

If a thousand business owners crowd the courtrooms telling the judges to take their fines and shove them, what are they realistically going to do?

It’s time to separate the mice from the men (and women).

Stand up.

Speak up.

Let’s end this madness.

According to Johns Hopkins Humboldt County had 5 new cases on June 5 and 2 on June 6 for a total of 111 cases. Why has the county not reported these on their website?

I’m wondering what is going on obviously our town is lying to us, are they trying to avoid having more track and trace people come in town? Opening also depends on new case count so are they lying with the numbers so we can open up? Lost coast outpost is corporate owned and they just censored their comment section too. None of their news should be deemed credible at all anymore.
