Six New Cases Today August 12

Humboldt Test Results by the NumbersPress release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:

Six additional cases of COVID-19 were reported today, bringing to 299 the total number of Humboldt County residents who have contracted the virus.

Of the 299 confirmed cases, 161 were contracted through contact with a known case, 70 were acquired through travel and 43 were community transmission. The means of transmission for 25 remaining cases are still under investigation by Public Health’s contact tracing teams. That process often requires interviews with many people in an effort to identify how the virus was acquired and if no source is found, they are considered community-acquired.

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said it can be difficult for a person who contracts the virus to remember every person or place they came in contact with in the last ten days, how long their interaction lasted, at what distance and whether masks were worn the whole time. “All of this is important information to have in investigations so that we can work to limit spread of COVID in our community,” she said. “Staying home as much as possible, avoiding gathering with those who live outside of your household, distancing and using facial coverings continue to be important ways to limit spread of COVID.”

Today’s alert level stands at three or level orange. Visit humboldtgov.org/dashboard to view the county’s Alert Level Assessment tool.

No Swine, they are coming after the boomers.

Boomer’s children are sending parents off to COVID death camps (assisted living) to die alone.

Talked with a youngster, who is getting that government cheese, and admits it’s hard to stand up and push back with a full belly.

6 cases closer to herd immunity, 👊👊
No reason to worry or panic, the hospitals are empty, the ER is empty, few people have died outside of nursing homes. Get back to living as normal and stop the fear and worry.
Every new case means we are that much closer to getting this mularkey over. Good Job Humboldt County.

And the now-prevalent discouraging of buying from bulk bins, of reusing, recycling, etc. Wrap everything in separate non-reusable plastic casing. Do not share, do not consume from the same bin, do not ride in the same car. To each his/her own of absolutely everything. This is the earth-hater’s and industrial capitalist’s fondest dream come true.
It’s when humanism and love of technology and plastics overcomes all the values of ecology and down-to-earth humanity that the 1960s counterculture taught. Humans first! For as long as we can keep them alive, and no matter what their health. All eight billion of them and counting… about 80 million more per year being born than dying. Covid can’t put a dent in that, but it’s still nearly everyone’s first concern.

I guess different people got different messages. I considered environmentalism, ecology, etc., and the conviction that quality of life was more important than quantity to be hallmarks of the belief system of people who used to be called liberals or Democrats. Nowadays, libs or Dems are the ones who would destroy the earth to keep as many humans as possible alive, and to addict us to pharmaceuticals and tech gadgets rather than to face (and love) the reality of our existence as part of nature.
(I do believe that getting high may have helped remind people that this was our situation… that we were human animals. But i guess it’s really just an intensifier; nowadays so many people seem to believe that we really are bits of eternal virtual wisdom, and just around the corner AI and our memories will unite so that we can all be immortal robots. Techno-humanism as a religion just as bizarre as any other.)

Again, I ask…and the severity of the illness those testing positive is? I say BULLSHIT!!! The numbers are intentionally deceptive, designed to spread fear and attain compliance strictly for political gain. Nothing but another attempt by the communist left, including Dr. Frankenstein and her handlers, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, to assist in the destruction of America as we knew it.

RDF, where do you come up with this stuff. I don’t like the intrusion either but at least it has it’s reason. This insanity about a communist left conspiracy trying to kill people off so they can take control of the country only makes you look idiotic.

What you call the communist left is an illusion created by hairbrains like Alex Jones. The left, both progressive and liberal, hates communism as much as you, and in truth we are possibly more American than you because we also stand up and defend this country from the other demon dinosaur in the room, fascism, something I suspect you admire. Please tell me you don’t RDF.

So you call him hairbrained and end with being hairbrained by saying you’re more American than he, which is itself a very anti-US approach, historically. The US once had 2 million registered communist voters.

(PS, no one in the US seems to know wtf Communism is, so ignore those people)

And choke on the irony of the most socialist state, Sweden, respecting their citizen’s rights more than the US. That should wake us up.

You’re right, I haven’t read much on communism, bits here and there, but what I am referring to is the kind of communism RDF (and many Americans) see it as, a totalitarian state. Yet what RDF and others on the far right are pushing is a form of totalitarianism itself because they see anyone not on the right as the enemy and not welcome, as if America is theirs and theirs alone. And they have adopted protecting oneself from covid as a sign someone isn’t American, and that’s just total BS.

It’s also un-American because we’re supposed to treat all people as equals, or at least that’s what it says in the Declaration of Independence, and it’s time RDF understands that truth. We are all brothers and sisters and children of God and we are going to be living together for a long time whether we like it or not.

Researcher, now I know why all your posts are so skewed. You can’t read!!! Where in my post does it say or has it said anything about a communist left conspiracy trying to kill people off so they can take control of the country. You might want to watch who you call an Idiot.

OK, maybe I jumped the gun a little bit, but it sounds like that’s what you’re saying. So I’m sorry if I put words in your mouth, I hate it when someone does that to me. But when someone infers that a large segment of the population are involved in a ‘communist left’ conspiracy, they are trying to invoke hatred in those people. And there are alot of people out there that take that to mean what I have implied. As I said, if that’s not what you implied then I apologize.

PS. I’ve been calling myself an idiot before you were born.

Researcher: don’t apologize to people for speaking the truth. Too many left wing, intelligent people find themselves apologizing to people for no reason whatsoever. It exposes weakness that is too easily exploited by the trumpers. No need to say sorry if you didn’t do anything wrong.

Maybe you’ll catch a case? Then there will be no need to ask about severity, hospitalization, or recovery. You can see for yourself how you and those in your home do with it. You can find out first-hand just how strong, special, or unlucky you are!

Exciting! What *IS* all the hype about?! Is it just the flu like the internet people say or something worse like medical professionals say, or is it something in between? Will you be asymptomatic, recover and be fine, will your recovery take weeks, months, years, or will you die? Only you will be able to answer that question for yourself when and if the time comes. You’ll probably feel your body discussing that very question with itself, how severe is this? Do I need to go to the hospital? Am I dying?

I already know that answer for myself, personally. I don’t want it again ever, but hey, I didn’t die and I wasn’t hospitalized! I still can’t jog more than a quarter mile without resting and feeling like my lungs are going to burst and I still have a permanent cough 5 months later. 160k+ and counting thought it was pretty severe, but then they all died and now they don’t think at all, so I do count myself lucky. At least they didn’t die curious about how severe the illness was or wasn’t. Inquiring minds want to know and many, many, more will find out.

Jogging is bad for the knees, COVID-19 did you a big favor. Costco has some good deals on recliners and big screen tvs. Just need to adjust your lifestyle bud, change is good. Good luck fogdog,sounds like you were one of the rare ones, my neighbors had COVID-19, all 7 of them , nothing more than flu like they said. Oldest in household was 68 , no problems, all back to normal.

Yeah if only humans could keep their freakn saliva in their mouth, instead of on my groceries.
Pre pandemic: Mattole Valley resident at ENF couldnt wait to consume her hummus, dips fingers in it while in line, places hummus fingers in mouth to slurp food, THEN pays. Using saliva fingers.
Early pandemic: clerk at Tractor Supply in Fortuna. Must lick fingers to savor the flavor of my pocket bill, prior to handleing my change.
Stay away from me, stay at home and use less masks and gloves. Think of the environmental destruction from all those plastic body bags, and diesel reefer vans.
