Three More Positive COVID-19 Tests, Two More From Alder Bay
Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:
Three additional Humboldt County residents tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 67.
Follow-up testing at Alder Bay Assisted Living in Eureka found two more residents had become positive for COVID-19. Public Health will continue to work with the facility to monitor residents and staff and will conduct ongoing testing to identify any additional cases as early as possible.
As the county moves into a broader reopening of some business sectors, Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich pointed out that while the increased case count is unlikely a result of last week’s soft reopening of retail businesses, health officials are paying close attention to our transmission rates and case counts to set the pace of additional reopenings. “As we can see with our case count, COVID-19 is circulating in our community,” Frankovich said. “We will be monitoring our data closely to know when and how to move forward.”—

🕯🌳Care homes should have been the first places to be locked down or were testing should have started. 🚑🚑🚑🚑🖖🌍🐸 I would like to say that the rise in cases I don’t believe is in reopening of the economy but because of more testing being done. But still more testing in the outlaying areas of Humboldt are needed or accessible testing facilities brought to them.🐸🌍🖖
Just wait til a few weeks from now the cases will go up dramatically.
Summer heat is not going to kill it.
Heat doesn’t kill hiv or herpes. We’ve let the virus get strong enough to mutate.
So all you re-open now folks, remember the health care workers your movement protests against and seek no treatment once sick.
Personally we’re gonna stay inside wsy more this next month while everyone runs around infecting each other.
Honestly we have no hope of any future on any level if we can’t learn to sacrifice for the survival of generations to come. Climate shift is going to require even more. Oh poorme I cant do exactly what I want when I want to isnt gonna fly anymore. Grow up in your srlf-responsibility zone.
Especially as more viruses and bacteria that mammals havent experienced in hundreds of thousands of years come back into existence from under gkacial ice, much like this virus most likely has. This covid could be one of the ancestors of the current viruses even hiv as it mutated rather quickly to be transferred by semen.
All you big hide behind the fortress walls types, these cases started with the even minimal activity permitted. Did you really think that you could ever come out again and the world will be magically reborn? Of course there will be an increase in cases. We can’t eliminate drug addiction, homelessness , domestic violence, bar fights, the flu or much of anything that exhibits a little persistence. What would make you think this was ever going to be a short term cure? We best spend efforts learning to cope with it because hiding from it is not a long term solution.
Wow, just wow. Are you sure summer heat doesn’t kill herpes? Cause I was just planning on sunbathing naked this summer, problem solved. Will bleach work?
Protest Local/State Tyranny!!! Friday, May 15th, 12:00 noon. Humboldt County Courthouse, 5th street. Bring signs/flags. PASS IT ON!
UV and heat have shown to break down the virus very quickly.
“Recent laboratory studies by the U.S. Army high-level biosecurity lab suggest that heat and sunlight can potentially slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. This study was presented during a White House briefing by William N. Bryan, Under Secretary for Science and Technology (DHS).
“A study by the University of Connecticut titled: “Seasonality and uncertainty in COVID-19 growth rates” also point to a similar finding.”
“Early insights from laboratory studies of related coronaviruses predicted that COVID-19 would decline at higher temperatures, humidity, and ultraviolet light. Using current, fine-scaled weather data and global reports of infection we developed a model that explained 36% of variation in early growth rates before intervention, with 17% based on weather or demography and 19% based on country-specific effects. We found that ultraviolet light was most strongly associated with lower COVID-19 growth rates.”

So hide under our beds, jobless, for another two years? WTF!? If covid is not going anywhere than what’s your plan? [edit]
Had the Covid-19 test Thursday at Redwood Acres and received the test results today (the following Wednesday). So it appears the testing results can be somewhat delayed.
Why is it that we get to know just how many cases there are in Alder Bay, but we don’t get to know how many cases are in our towns, much less what part of town. Isn’t Comrade Frankovich afraid the vigilantes will attack the old people? Guess not. Does this show her information blackout is rational? Guess not. The only vigilante I’ve seen during this whole mess is Frankovich.
Good point. Why can’t the rest of us who are not in Alder Bay know exactly where this virus is?
New positive results are categorized along partisan lines. Liberals will say any new upticks are due to reopening. Also have heard that hospitals get extra funding for positive Covid cases?
What about the other 3508 people who tested negative, did they have antibodies? Why were they tested? What did they have? Curious.
🕯🌳There is no immunity or antibodies for this virus. 🚑🚑🚑🚑🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why do you keep repeating this? Do you have a source?
Study Finds Nearly Everyone Who Recovers From COVID-19 Makes Coronavirus Antibodies
https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/05/07/study-finds-nearly-everyone-who-recovers-from-covid-19-makes-coronavirus-antibodies/
Thanks Ullr,
Everyone wants immunity to mean absolute personal immunity, when it almost never does. So even with vaccines (which I am not a general fan of) often the immunity is only partial, reducing the consequence of an exposure to the virus or bacteria to mild illness. Then greater immunity is developed.
People who get the Tetanus vaccine and people who don’t get the Tetanus vaccine have both been shown to have had tetanus infections. In both cases their infection is rarely accute but confers (some more) immunity anyway. The last time I looked it up I believe that 15% of vaccinated people were detected to have had an active infection.
This Covid 19 situation will be the same way, how ever the medical industry chooses to attack it.
This article doesn’t get very deep but points out that population level testing is likely to suggest strategies rather than create individual certainty. (I’m not saying I agree with the approach; still thinking about it.)

Care homes were already locked down. But you also need people in to take care of the residents. What, you think they took care of themselves? Did you learn nothing from the Seattle outbreaks? The local health MD has already said that this is not likely from any reopening.
Track n trace, beaches
“The ApiJect syringes come with an optional RFID tag so that health care workers can track the GPS location and identity of the individual being injected. Via the Apiject.com website:”

Naturalnews.com site is total BS pseudoscience and quackery…

Not total BS:
DOD Awards $138 Million Contract, Enabling Prefilled Syringes for Future COVID-19 Vaccine
https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Releases/Release/Article/2184808/dod-awards-138-million-contract-enabling-prefilled-syringes-for-future-covid-19/
“”Today the Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announce a $138 million contract with ApiJect Systems America for “Project Jumpstart” and “RAPID USA,” which together will dramatically expand U.S. production capability for domestically manufactured, medical-grade injection devices starting by October 2020.”
Thanks Grandpa and Bushytails for cutting through the bullshit.
Yes, Ullr, NNews and Mike Adams are pure bullshit.
There are DOD contracts, but that’s it.
From the Unnaturalnews article:
Vaccine safety isn’t the goal… mass murder and depopulation is the real objective
It’s irresponsible to not call this what it is: fear mongering conspiracy psychosis.
And no surprise, because we know who “Papa Wheelies” is and what he has been trying to do on RHBB for 2 years now, under the guise of 20 names.
Vaccine safety isn’t the goal… mass murder and depopulation is the real objective – from the whack job article
Grandpa and Bushytails are correct.
Natural news is a fear mongering conspiratorial psychosis hub.
The DOD contract exists, and it can be reported on without enducing infowar-porn.
There’s a difference between the news being reported by bullshit people and …everyone else.
People think that the government loves the little guy, and will try to sabotage the information that will help people understand what is actually going on.
It’s the propaganda wet dream.
Civil War 2.0 is coming and will tear down the civility between communities and families, and the division will further make a unified front impossible.
Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao…and plenty of smaller tyrants have killed MILLIONS.
That’s a fact, Jack.
Perhaps, FG, you would prefer this story coming from some other news source.
https://news.yahoo.com/trump-admin-ramp-syringe-production-212753480.html
Please take note that the orange hair devil is the one who called for this. Yes, that’s right, Trump is preparing for the much needed syringes that will be required when a vaccine is approved, months ahead of the need.
Better than the response for testing, n95 masks, and other “critical” items that our medical facilities should have had on hand all along, after spending 10-12 billion $ per year for the last ten years.
Every single word of that is crazy.
🕯🌳The same source you quoted from the White House. 🖖🌍🐸In fact they Also say that UV bulbs are only good for detecting it on certain surfaces not for eliminating it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Common sense should tell you that if they’ve had found the anti body in the body they would have an antiviral drug. This is what is scaring them. Look at what happened to South Korea. They thought they could open up,they had they best testing in the world and had it set up the fastest and all it took was one man to go bar partying one night and now they have 100+ new cases and more. And he had and was tested negative after two weeks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good, they’re getting closer to herd immunity. Just accept the fact that at some point you’re going to get it and there’s a 99.9 percent chance you’ll be ok. Then you can quit living in fear. Historically life is not kind. You have a higher chance of surviving this than the tests accuracy rate
99.9 is inaccurate, especially if you’re in Pennsylvania.
Serious and critical cases, hospitalizations, long term health issues or death are all possible far beyond a .01% rate.
Again, last month was the 2nd deadliest month for the US, behind October 1918 and the Spanish Flu.
Being that especially you have no idea how this will roll out over the next year, may I suggest keeping your false theories to yourself.
Whenever you start freaking out about someone’s comment that offends you, please reread Kai Ostrowe’s letter. I’ve known Kai many years and have always had great respect for his work ethic and selflessness. I now hold a deep respect for his wisdom. There is a middle ground. Wherever this pandemic, and our “leaders” take us, we need to be able to have rational discourse.
Politics are disgusting and people who believe in inherent authority over free people are the biggest problem we face.
Everything you said is beautiful and true.
When are the positive covid 19 test results from the Redwood Acres test site going to be included in the daily total. I got a test yesterday and asked if the tests results have brenn included…. they told me not yet… they have been testing there for about 10 days. I would like to know the percentage of positive results coming out of that test site.
Is nobody outraged that a person employed by this nursing home working with the most vulnerable population, violated the SIP Order, went traveling and came back to work infecting the residents in this nursing home?
