No New Positive COVID-19 Tests in Humboldt County for the Second Day in a Row: April 9 Results
Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:
No additional positive cases of COVID-19 were confirmed today. The total case count has remained at 50 since Tuesday, April 7.
Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said some other areas of the state are also experiencing a relative slowing in numbers of new cases. “Sheltering in place and the other social distancing measures that have been so difficult for us all, appear to be having an impact in slowing spread of the virus,” she said. “This is important because our cases of identified community transmission tell us that the virus is circulating within the community.”
Frankovich cautioned that individuals assembling who are not normally in contact can suddenly create a cluster of cases within a community. “It is critically important that people hang in there and remember, especially during the holidays, that observances and celebrations need to occur within the home,” she said. “Please keep your family, friends and community safe by following shelter-in-place orders.”
Data available to date indicates the following means of transmission for all Humboldt County cases:
- Contact to a Known Case: 23
- Travel-Acquired: 20
- Community Transmission: 7
- Under Investigation: 0

Notes on patient and demographic data
To protect the identity of people with COVID-19, their specific location of residence will not be disclosed. The Humboldt County Public Health Branch is legally responsible for protecting personal health information, including residence address, specific age, recent travel, the identities and locations of any contacts, the provider of medical treatment, the course of illness and any other information that might identify an individual with or exposed to the virus unless it serves the interests of public health to do so.
Although we understand it is of interest to residents, providing location and demographic information to the general public does nothing to slow the spread of illness. Humboldt County is experiencing untraceable person-to-person transmission, also known as “community spread,” and there is no place that can be considered safe. To reduce your chances of acquiring or spreading COVID-19, avoid travel, wash your hands, keep yourself and your environment clean, follow the shelter-in-place order, and do not leave home for any reason unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.
The following case information is provided daily Monday through Saturday:
- New positive cases
- Total positive cases to date

- Total Public Health Lab tests to date
- Total commercial lab tests to date
- Public Health Lab test capacity, total and daily, and estimated turnaround time

Who knew, HIPPA forbids naming the city where an infectious disease is spreading.
Good…
🕯🌳There average isn’t that good for people tested to the amount of people in the county,especially when they except a second round in June. 🕯🖖🐸
Let’s hope it stays that way, but…
I just came from Costco. While waiting in a line with other mask wearing customers, one man ahead of me did not wear one. He saw his buddy walking around outside the line looking for him. So, the line guy yells out to the wandering guy. I couldn’t say exactly what, ’cause I only speak a little broken border Spanish, but, it was definitely Latin based. Portuguese? Italian? The wanderer squeezed himself through the barrier of carts to join Line guy, walking right past everyone, myself included, within coughing distance. When they met up, they spoke a little more (I caught an occasional word) and looked around at everyone with a look on their faces as though they were wondering, “why the hell are all these people masked up.” Then, THEN, wandering guy, with no gloves and no mask, rubs his mouth AND nose with the palm side of his hand and fingers. Sigh.
Just reporting what I saw. I’m not gonna talk $#!T here. But man, I really went off to my wife. Should I have said something to them? Eh. Would it have done any good? Pffsh.
Stay safe people. Let’s try to keep the goose eggs comin’.
God people like you are gonna make thisbworld sonweird when this is “over.” But ita notngonna b over. And now anytime someone coughs or sneezes in public or touches their face small minded folks are gonna b judgemental assholes.. Im sure youll b fine. Maybe dont shopnat costco if youre so fuckin scared
You’re right. I s’pose I could come shop around your neck’o woods without a mask and let my 40 year old asthmatic cough, that sound just like some covid hack, loose like a dog at a fox hunt. See how people freak out then. By the way, what ever lead you to believe I was a “God [person]”?
Allah person, God person, Flying Spaghetti Monster person . I’m a person. As in, from Earth. An Earth person. If anything, I’m a Groucho Marxist: “I wouldn’t belong to any club that would have me as a member.”
A person who can’t tell the difference between a typo in the midst of a sea of typos and a statement of faith? Because if you read through the typos, what you said was what Swine said.
Yes. I read through the typo. I was trying to make a point about typos and punctuation.
Cool story, bro…
Good news:
IMHE has revised models down to 60k deaths from coronavirus. The same as the 2017-18 flu season deaths.
https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america
If we keep it that low, we can thank all the people who took it seriously, including physical distancing at the least and closing non essential business at the end.
So it will still be quite different than any season of anything.
No one has made it clear what assumptions this model used to arrive at its conclusions but I read an article that social distancing was built into the original model. If that is true, other assumptions must have changed. It’s not clear what but I suspect that it might be that the infection, while wildly contagious, is not as fatal as was assumed and started earlier than was known at the time of the original modeling. I did read a personal account of a NYC doctor who, before he became ill himself, was treating people in early March he thought might have caught the virus because they tested negative for flu but had similar symptoms.
Don’t forget the 60k deaths from alcoholism, vagrancy due to lost homes, domestic violence, suicide, drug abuse, starvation and all around loss of business, poverty, stock market crash and dollar inflation. But yeah we all get cheap gas,a 1200 check and spend 2 months making masks and bleach bombing our surroundings.Hope it was worth it.
I’m really enjoying the time at home tbh
You guys remind me of the right wing hawks who used to tell us Nam vets how more people die on the highways every year than Americans in Viet Nam.
But then neither was the world put on hold while that war was going on. In fact quite the opposite- people avoid noticing until it touched them personally.
Again no numbers of how many people were tested. Are we to assume the DHHS Frankostein is doing her job?? Not.
Don’t patronize us with your piddly banter to the minions!!!
State actual daily tests done-each day every day and don’t stop until this crap is done.
WAKE UP Frankostein!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1290 tests so far Crimestopper. Got to scroll down a ways to find it.
not again
Why does Dallas TX. have 19 covid19 deaths with a population of 1.3 million compared to NYC with 5280 deaths with a population of 19 million? NYC is 14.62 times as large as Dallas so: 19×14.62=277.8 Dallas deaths (adjusted for population difference).
NYC .0277% death rate Dallas .00146% death rate
Either somebody is lying or Texans are a whole smarter.
Or New Yorkers were infected earlier and the critical cases have not yet risen in Texas as much. Or Texas deaths are being undercounted. Or New York cases over counted. Or lots of other cases. New York City is a particularly vulnerable place for disease spread- lots of public mass transit and packed into a small area. Texas on the other hand is car oriented and spread out.
I doubt it because Dallas is ranked 4th in the nation for international travel whilst 14.62 smaller than NYC . NYC began shelter in place March 20th, Dallas March 24th. No, there’s more to this story.
Population density
Why the death rate is so different in different parts of the world, or even between bordering countries is a mystery yet to be solved.
Something pointed out to me recently by a friend in Italy, and something I was aware of but didn’t consider until he told me, was that many generations live together in households.
Grandparents, parents and children. I’m sure there are other factors too, but interesting to note.
They also have the second largest population of elderly in the world. Second to Japan.
Yes, it’s true.
Possibly, but the disparity is glaring.
People were wondering why Russia had so few cases a few weeks back, now it’s changed. Give Dallas some time.
…..”this has been a test of your national emergency broadcast system, this was only a test, if this was a real emergency you would have heard……..”
In Texas: More than 11,166 cases and 209 deaths have been reported across the state.

Maybe NY has more pollution? I recently read an article, with theory that pollution might be making it worse for some.
Makes sense. Similar to tobacco smokers. Weak lungs and all. Los Angeles. San Diego. High population often equals more air pollution. I’m just glad there are regulations on air pollution. Er, uh, wait . . . .
There are an awful lot of Italians in New York City. I don’t call it “racist” to suggest that there is possibly a genetic component to this immune response (as there was with the Black Death, for instance, where there has been a specific mutation associated with survivors via their descendants). I wonder if this data has been analyzed: the precise demographics/ancestry of the dead.
Has anyone told you that this test DOES NOT test for COVID?
it’s an old test meant to look for abnormalities in the lungs. It’s also used to test for lung cancer.
You see you cant have a test for a virus that does not exist.
Do your research. And please look outside the mainstream media for your research
Remember the Washington post Is OWNED by AMAZON. THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TRULY IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
If you’ve done the research, put in a link to it.
It’s funny that the very people who scream about fake news rely on fake news.
Ya know, those media outlets that imPOTUS calls fake news, were the ones I heard from that he was Pres. Soooo, is he really pres?
The PCR test is notoriously unreliable. The inventor of this test (Kary Mullins) who won a novel prize for inventing the test stated that the test cannot be used as diagnostic.
Jon Rapapport has reported widely on the shortcomings of the PCR test
Turn off the news. Use some critical thinking.
Look up event 201…….coincidence?
Why is Bill Gates an authority?
He can’t save your computer from a
Virus, yet he can save the world from one?
Check out what RFK jr had to say about Gates on instagram the other day.
Technocracy rules the day, hopefully not for long.
Covid 1984?
Plandemic?
Scamdemic?
Cronyvirus?
