‘Gatherings of Any Kind Can Put Your Friends and Family at Risk of COVID-19’

“Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich explains why gatherings of any kind can put your friends and family at risk of COVID-19.”

Rough transcript below:

Hi, I’m Dr. Terry Francovich and this is the COVID Minute. So, we’ve gotten lots of questions and people wondering why we keep talking about gatherings. I know a lot of people feel like a gathering, for instance, of ten people in their house is not a big deal, and I just wanted to say that we are seeing this now in our community; we’re seeing cases related to this.

So think of it this way if you invite 10 people over to your house Saturday night for a little party and the next day you start to feel sick and get diagnosed with COVID that means all 10 people at that party are now quarantined for 14 days–they cannot work, they cannot leave their home, and some of them are going to become ill.

So very quickly a small gathering and of ten people becomes a big problem, and since each of those people who become will have the potential to spread illness, it’s just a better and safer idea for our community to limit gatherings to your household only. Every time you bring people together from separate households, you increase risk for everyone.

And this is your COVID Minute.

“You are now quarantined for 14 days.” They don’t quarantine you, they ask you to quarantine yourself. Which is entirely up to an indivuals discretion, which how much faith do you have in human beings? I have about the same amount of faith that the government is doing their job as every single person will listen to the government. Especially our youth who aren’t even showing any symptoms. Short of chaining a teenager to a radiator, you can’t control every aspect of their life.

Good point. It seems no one is being quarantined.

She explained this before. An enforceable quarantine order is issued, the individual is monitored, law enforcement can step in if the quarantine order is not honored. I thought I heard there were a number of people under quarantine orders right now. If you get a quarantine order and don’t honor it, you’re a good example of what’s wrong with America today.

Contemptuous laws breed contempt for the law Doctor.

The national IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) is so low how can a state of emergency still be justified?

The common cold (a corona virus) even causes a positive test result.

You hide behind a “media availability” and release none of the statistics behind the States’ 100% wrong modeling for review.

Nobody is listening anymore.

Protect the at risk, free everyone else from your tyranny.

Maybe you should’ve stopped the damn protests if its that big of a deal! How many of the recent explosion of cases are directly related to someone who was protesting? Yeah there are cases popping up in gatherings of 5, 10, or 20 people. Get over it. Don’t say shit after you just allowed gatherings of literally hundreds of people, who are probably responsible for the little gatherings of 5, 10, or 15 people getting infected now. Condemn weddings and friends and family hanging out now, but don’t bring up a single word about the protests that just recently happened and the following explosions of covid across the nation. Want to know why other countries have a handle on this thing before the US? Because they all didn’t have mass gatherings of thousands of people across their nations passing this thing around. Just shut the f*ck up already.

Doctor,

How many cases of the flu did we have this winter? How many estimated? How many flu deaths and what were their ages?

How does one determine a flu caused death? Is someone who dies with comorbidities and the flu catagorized as a flu death or just catagorized by their comorbity (I suspect the later).

Reguarding our four Humboldt “COVID19” deaths, how many were caused by COVID & how many merely died with COVID?

What levels of communicable disease and death justify draconian levels of disruption of society and economy? Millions of national deaths were claimed to justify your orders initially. What is the current IFR and CFR? 0.3 and 4.0 appear to be the current national consensus.

Are your stay at home orders still justified? Really … we can congregate at big box stores, riots, and restaurants but not our own backyards and dining tables with healthy relatives and friends?
