According to Fort Bragg’s Sherwood Oaks Health Center Administrator Will Maloney, a resident of the facility who had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus passed away the evening of Thursday, July 16, 2020. He explained, “We cannot say for certain he passed away from complications related to the virus at this point because we have to wait for the death certificate to be completed.”

This news comes the day Mendocino County Public Health announced new restrictions to businesses due to a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases.

Administrator Maloney said at this point, four staff members of the facility tested positive for the virus and are on-leave and being monitored by Mendocino County Public Health. He also said there are four residents of the facility that are isolated and being treated for the virus along with five other residents that are isolated and being monitored because they were in close proximity to the confirmed four cases.

Three nurses are currently dedicated to the facility’s COVID-19 unit, says Administrator Maloney. He said that when they are not at work, they are isolating at home. Remarkably, these three staff members dedicated to the patients with COVID-19 have not tested positive for the virus, Administrator Maloney revealed. He attributed their continuing to be COVID-19 free to wearing long sleeve shirts, hospital gowns, aprons, N95 masks, face shields, gloves, and following best practices.

According to Administrator Maloney, the County has been sending test kits to the facility where his staff then swabs the patients, the County picks up the samples and then analyzes them. He said the usual processing time of the tests was 48-72 hours which he deemed as pretty quick.

Administrator Maloney said, “My staff is working hard and diligently to stop the progression of the virus and protect our staff and residents.”

The dedication to these patients at Sherwood Oaks by the staff that remains there is beyond heroic in spite of receiving minimal support from governmental agencies and maximum demands made upon them by the same agency’s.

All these horrible deaths, all the suffering, as well as the businesses who have had to close, we can’t eat out, we cannot gather, like for sport or other events, is the result of the Communist Chinese letting it out. They made this happen on purpose, to destroy our way of life so they can rule the world. And here is an example of life under the commies. Now, if you are poor and live in China, and you need welfare or their version of food stamps, you must renounce your Christianity, or starve. Communism means NO freedom. The chicoms do the same to the Muslims, and if you are gay in China, you make yourself invisible, or die. They are Satanically influenced to say the least. Stop buying from China. Go into stores and look for chinese products, and start making them here, and destroy their economy, taking their power from them. There are lot’s of young people here who could make things, clothing, everything they make in China our kids could make here. Tell the merchants to encourage made in USA at their stores, Buy local clothes and products. Pull down all Chinese statues and paintings. Find out what the chicoms own here, in our local counties, and make the county review their permits and fine them for everything we can, stop them from sending money to their chicom govt. They have mercilessly attacked and killed us with this virus, all to control us. To rule us. To purge our society of gays, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and the weak. All you kids who are trans, gay, etc., form coops to make clothes and equipment to destroy the economy of those who would round you up and torture and kill you. Take their power, and increase yours, by destroying evil, we will buy from you before we buy anything from them. Make T shirts that have Mao’s picture on it with a red line through his face, same with Xi Jingping, big red line through his fat ugly face. Come on Kids, make it happen, we will support you.
