[UPDATE 8:32 a.m.] First Death in Humboldt County From COVID-19
We received word that a resident of Alder Bay Assisted Living had passed away yesterday in a Humboldt County hospital from COVID-19. This is the first death associated with the novel coronavirus pandemic in our area.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to family and friends. This dark moment brings the worldwide situation even closer to our homes and our lives.
What This Means for Humboldt County:
According to the steps laid out by Governor Gavin Newsom, a county cannot advance through Stage 2 unless it meets all of the following criteria:
Although Humboldt County was on target to meet almost every other criteria earlier this month, according to the steps laid out in the Regional Variance Criteria section of the guide to reopening, a death from COVID-19 indicates that the county might need to wait until June 1 before loosening the restrictions on local businesses.
In addition, according to the epidemiologic stability criteria outlined by the Governor, as of Saturday, we have had 22 new cases in the last 14 days which puts us at one new case per roughly 6000 patients residents.
Humboldt County’s Public Health Officer, Dr. Teresa Frankovich, submitted an attestation that the County was meeting or exceeding the Governor’s guidelines earlier this month. We will be requesting information on how this death and the increased rate of infection will affect our community.
UPDATE 8:32 a.m.: Heather Muller, Lead Public Information Officer Humboldt County Joint Information Center, sent out the following to the media.
We received word yesterday from St. Joseph Hospital that a patient who tested positive for COVID-19 has died. The woman was 97 years old and a resident of Alder Bay Assisted Living. Our thoughts today are with her family and friends. Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich will issue a notification to all Humboldt County residents this morning, and will take your questions during her regularly scheduled media availability.

Condolences to the family.
I sorry for your loss being 97 and haveing the virus only adds to the complications of a eldrely person .
Most deaths are linked to vitamin d deficiency.
Ok joe rogan. But youre probably right.
Ok your probably right also lol. But I’ve been happy to take this time to further my education on nutrition. His last podcasts with one of my favorites Dr Rhonda Patrick. I really liked how they talked about the sauna for almost a hr. Made me really miss the sauna at HS. And Kim how did swine see my comment before the 30 min edit was still running?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Vitamin D levels appear to play role in COVID-19 mortality rates
Patients with severe deficiency are twice as likely to experience major complications
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200507121353.htm
And acute vitamin D deficiency is vastly more prevalent among blacks, possibly for a variety of reasons but principally because dark skin doesn’t synthesize vitamin D nearly as well when exposed to UV light. People look at the racial disparity in COVID-19 outcomes and assume the usual social justice boogiemen, but likely more just a function of inherent physiology. It also means the solution is simple — take your damn D3 supplements! Also true for sun-fearing white people who don’t leave the house without lathering up with sunblock.
Ulr over,
thanks.
If what you say is true then St Joseph’s doctors would know that information and the patient would have been put on vitamin D.
Read the information from the link.
This thread sickens me to my core, the vast majority of these respondents are putting the responsibility for her death on the dead woman herself. No respect, no compassion, absolutely no understanding of virology. All you pathetic people care about is your own very prescious freedom to continue spreading this deadly virus. The lack of education and understanding in the Humboldt Community is staggering. Complicating that exponentially is the fact that all of you dectractors feel vindicated because the Woman was a 97 year old. The overriding sentiment is that she should have died already! Really, do you not understand that the symptoms of this virus evolve from age group to age group, do you not understand that 20 to 40 something’s don’t experience upper respiratiory infections, rather, they experience blood clots, DVT, stroke, pulmonary thrombosis. And the young, Covid toe, blood disorders. But no, you pathetic individuals only care about having it all, and having it right now!
Keep this in mind, twentytwo new cases in the last fourteen days and the first recorded death. Keep that in mind. This is nowhere near over. If you think you are somehow immune, within two months, you will personally know someone who has died because you had to have your freedom, you had the right to continue ignoring the health guidelines created to protect us all. Keep that in mind!
97 years is a good run and I can’t wait to go to the Bar!
David Struve…Thank you for your comments. I agree whole heartedly. The lack of compassion for this 97 year old woman, who was a living woman, with a local family, is just appalling. She did not ask for any of this. She was sheltering in place. She will forever be a victim. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. This thread is a disappointment.
Those ugly sentiments are your psychological transferring your reactions to another. Believing that vitamin D deficiency is the deciding factor in covid-19 deaths may be inaccurate or not but it certainly is not “putting the responsibility for her death” on the deceased. It is not disrespectful, uncompassionate or any of the things you insist it is. It is simply people trying to find security by gaining knowledge to protect themselves.
Virology you say?
Try this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmqgGwT6bw0
Also see MedCram videos about oxidative stress, as you point out COVID-19 is not just a respiratory disease and the pathology varies greatly by age group.
Segregate your self and then you don’t have to worry about getting it as for the rest of us . Who the hell do you think you are to tell me or anyone else we have to live , the way you want us too. Because you want to do what you want . Your not king of everything. To all those afraid to live in the world lock your self away. You can shop on line and sanitize every thing you get till your little hearts content. The rest of us should not have to Change are life for you. You sure the hell wont Change for us. You would grab you picket signs and head for the court house. Screaming coexist. As long as we coexist your way
Yours will be from a thinking disorder
Brilliantly said!
No. Respiratory complications.
No we don’t need to stay locked down. Fear will only get you more fear. If you are immune compromised then by all means stay home. I’m not sick. I need to go back to work. I’d like to see the positive test results. Alder Bay gets $39k from Medicare, if they put the patient on a respirator. Alder Bay is a convalescent hospital assisted living…right?
The hospital puts people on ventilators. The person was a very close family friend. She was doing well for her age and tested positive Friday. She woke up with a high fever Sunday and went to the hospital. Alder Bay will not get anything for her testing positive for Covid-19.
So very sorry for the loss of your friend.
thank you Mark. sorry for your loss of a good friend. Alder Bay is doing all they can and staff deserves our support.
No, not most, not even close to most. Dont just parrot what Rogan says.
Or 5g?
Well let’s see, the virus got in there how ? Oh ya and employee traveled wasn’t tested and went back to work and infected to population there… humm, now the the people of Humboldt have to stay locked down because nobody bothered to check the people who are responsible for the safety of the elders there….. This is a sh.t show to say the least!
This can happen anywhere, at any business… that’s why we have to stay locked down. Unless we absolutely police travel (i.e. roadblocks, cops with guns, etc) with mandatory institutionalized quarantine periods, people will travel, and even if we completely eliminate the disease locally, it will be brought back into the area. Tourists will come into the area. Our residents will vacation elsewhere. College students will visit their families. Students elsewhere will visit their families here. People will attend weddings and funerals and such. Contractors will come into this area to work. Our specialists will do jobs in other areas. Politicians will attend functions out of the area. Truckers and pilots and delivery drivers will go into and out of the area doing their jobs. And on and on and on. Lockdown policies restricting the non-essential of these activities will only be partially effective, especially since there’s a group of people who seem to think they have a god-given (which I say because the overlap with religious crazy seems exceptionally high) right to go about infecting everyone if they so choose. It will be brought into our area, repeatedly, and only continued social distancing will slow its spread.
If the head of staff at alder bay knew the employee traveled out of the area, the said employee should not of been allowed to go back to work for at least 14 days. Did the head of staff know? I dont know, but the person should feel really bad right now for causing this facility to have numerous cases by bring it back with them.
Yes. Please keep us prisoners in our home until death has been completely eradicated. Until the experts are able to solve for 0 deaths ever again. This is the only solution.
If they put police roadblocks up its only going to cause more issues than it will do any good more or less you just stated put Marshall law into effect that cannot happen unless local authorities loose control of everything including our local government fails to do its job.
You mean Martial law? Marshall Law was a bay area metal band in the 80’s…
Martial law? Marshal Tucker Band. Tucker Carlson is a dick. Dick Cheney started the Iran war. Trump says this fight against COVID_19 is a war. So obviously this is all Trump’s fault.
Martial law obviously isn’t the answer. We each have to take matters into our own hands or there will be more deaths. I didn’t know her, but when she died, it was like a whole library burned down.
She was 97 years old. I’m sure she had quite a few stories to tell. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
My body doesn’t really need to leave my landlord’s investment property as much as I thought it did yesterday. Her life was worth more than my hike or filling the gas tank of my car or a fresh orange to eat when I already have a can of peaches or fun, colourful fabric to make my mask look less like a ba ba black sheep to people who don’t even know who I am.
May she rest in peace.

Is the ‘lock-down’ constitutional?
No, it’s not. Emergency powers have limited use. If states want to mandate legal “lock downs” then there is a legislative process. The executive branch can not act unilaterally. The politico opinion piece you linked to failed to mention that in the SCOTUS 1905 Jacobson v Mass., that while the State the authority to enforce vaccinations by use of jail or fines they did not give the state the authority to forcibly administer the vaccine.
Thankfully federalism is how the USA is run. What’s good for New York is usually not good for California.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
“You have no right not to be vaccinated, you have no right not to wear a mask… If you refuse to be vaccinated the state has the power to literally take you to a Doctor’s office & plunge a needle in your arm,” Dershowitz stated in an interview with Jason Goodman.”
It’s to keep you safe!!!! 🙄
Somehow the logic that officials can’t stop people from coming into the area or travelling out of the area but can keep them from leaving their homes inside the area is thin at best. Exactly how long can people who do not receive a government benefit sit in their houses? Those who do receive a government benefit can stay at home indefinitely as long as others are willing to keep delivering goods, they never need care for non covid-19 illness, have no pets needing to go to the vet, have no children they are unable to school, there are no disasters such as fires and earthquakes, etc but then it depends on what their inclinations are whether they do it.
So in the end exactly what does it come down to? Those who want and can stay home do stay home and those who don’t want to or can’t stay home don’t. Government orders to lock people away become extraneous at a certain point and we are certainly there. The best that can be done is to keep large gatherings – the type that need permits- from happening and keep reminding people to be safe. That needs no lockdown.
Look at Greece. They went to early full lockdowns and actually enforced them. Strict mask laws and Social distancing. And in their entire country, during this whole Covid pandemic, had less than 140 deaths. And only under 2000 cases in the whole country. Maybe we should look to those countries like that, whose tactics worked, instead of modifying and remodifying and remodifying ours which are obviously not working…
North Carolina is similar in area and population to Greece. Comparing Greece to the whole USA is not particularly applicable.
Well, chiming in from NC, we have just over 19,000 confirmed cases with 693 deaths and 11,637 recovered in a population of 10.5 million.
“Also of note, the government required the public to send SMS messages explaining why they needed to leave their homes — and then wait for permission to leave home. Those caught outside their homes without permission risked being slapped with sizable fines. …
Within three weeks of the first documented case, all cultural and commercial enterprises were shut down, as were sports facilities and areas of religious worship; cities or villages with gradually increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases were strictly quarantined…
Good planning, lightning-quick decision-making, and the broad cooperation of the public are seen as key elements in Greece’s success in containing the spread of COVID-19.”
“Two asylum-seekers on the Greek island of Lesbos were shot and injured after apparently violating coronavirus quarantine rules, officials said Thursday.”

Again and again and again- good luck with any of that in the US where judges release illegal immigrants in jail for crimes simply because they might be exposed to covid-19 and a judge exempts himself from wearing a mask.
Beside it’s not over until it’s over. Greece has done a relaxing of restrictions about 8 days ago. It will be interesting to see if an economy that relies on tourism can keep covid-19 out and still have an economy at all.
Yes Dr. Fauci. Because you and the British adulterer were so right about everything.
Some socialists just love fascism. Actually, all of them.
So why doesn’t Trump fire him then?
He’s giving him the rope to hang himself … so to speak.
If he just fired him the Dems would be screaming some more, like they are about the IG that was only transferred.
So, Trumps letting him expose himself for what he is, A pharma profiteer.
Just my interpretation.
Well said, Bushytails.
Well frankly if,in fact, these infections are traced to out of area travel by an employee and unless that travel can be verified to be essential ( per state and county health directives) that person should face some consequences for engaging in conduct that caused serious harm. There is a non essential travel ban in place for a reason. Anyone who works with high risk populations has an even higher duty to not engage in any personal behavior that further risks those people. Remember these residents have been barred from family visits for more than 2 months for their protection only to have reckless employees bringing this into their home! UNACCEPTABLE and heartbreaking. My condolences go out to this person’s loved ones
I Agree all Employess need to be tested as well as the public. If this was from covid 19 and not age related. Was there any other health problems that this person Had? There Listing everything as Covid 19 related now days no matter what the cause is. No matter what prayers to the family and friends. R.I.P.
No, Michelle, THEY are NOT listing every death as covid19. My brother and my step-mother died last month and neither had their death listed as covid19. My sister-in-law’s mother died this month and her death wasn’t listed as covid19.
Your speculation isn’t helpful.
Fishwife,
You are correct. And I’m sorry for your losses. You are not alone.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-deaths-italy-us-could-124300594.html
TRB, You are making exactly the mistake we’re talking about here, it looks like. You are saying that Another Fishwife’s three losses were Covid-related–at least that’s what linking it to a coronavirus deaths article and saying “You are not alone” suggests. Yet Another Fishwife did not, apparently, have Covid-related deaths in her circle. She was reporting that people who died (not of Covid-19) were not erroneously listed as Covid–which supports an argument that the numbers are not inflated. That’s enough. You don’t have to turn her losses into non-existent Covid losses when medical officials didn’t.
I am sorry for her losses too, and would be equally sorry no matter what the cause.
You’re right, I read her comment wrong.
Thanks.
Still sorry for those losses, and still it seems many Covid deaths are not being reported, if you read the link.
Condolences to you and your family. 🙏
Same here. My father died last month. Not covid, not listed as such.
I am sorry that you have experienced such loss. A hard month for you.
“There Listing everything as Covid 19 related now days no matter what the cause is…’
Sigh.
R.I.P. whom ever you were. Prayers to the family and friends..
That’s correct. There’s absolutely no reason to be locked down. This is a s#!+ show!
It makes no sense that a continued total lockdown is being based on the death of a health-compromised elder (sorry for your loss, family) in assisted living who maybe tested positive for covid-19 and also had underlying comorbidities. We have lost our minds. Death finds all of us sooner or later who are alive…it is the loss we must face. Elderly people (like myself) with health issues (luckily I have none to speak of) are at much greater risk to have a poor outcome, we know that. But 98% plus of healthy people will either have a mild case or remain asymptomatic. We know that also. Instead of mandating masks that have little to do with protecting people from infection, but have negative health consequences, and locking down Humboldt County and exacerbating business and job loss, supply chain issues and financial devastation, the medical industry should be giving us useful information on building our immune systems and increasing our well being. I see none of this from the WHO, the CDC and local and state government that are taking those agencies’ words as gospel.
Heartbreaking. My condolences to the family and loved ones.
Omg it was s9meone who works there that got all the old people and felllw workers infected. . i love how people stretch and stretch to make their narrative seems right.
… How, exactly, does someone offering their condolences, make you think they’re part of some conspiracy to push a narrative?
Bushy, Re Read Michelle’s comment.
She said, “There Listing everything as Covid 19 related now days no matter what the cause is.”
I responded with facts I personally know. NOT speculation.
I Agree. Very sad
I can see the republican answers now… “it wasn’t me, why are we worrying about it?” “it’s ok, she was old!” “See, JUST ONE PERSON died, obviously this is a hoax!”,…
Oh my god, for the love of all that is holy, calm down……please!?
Stoking the fire early this morning I see….nice
That sounds like Andrew Cuomo.
Whereas you (as a presumably Democrat) are so much more generous… Well maybe that’s not the right word. Hmm… What would be the right word?
I was a republican for 49 years. I will never vote again. Your vote does not count, and it is entirely worthless. We could elect a president without the people’s vote… Oh wait that’s right we have been doing that since the birth of the electoral college.
They pass a bill forcing the electoral college clown to follow his/her populations choice, and I will vote again. This country would have been way fukin better off with Gore.
“Virtuous”
May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
According to a relative who has seen many other kin reach a century , nothing good happens after 92.
Godspeed.
Unfortunately, I think most of us saw this coming, considering where the infections were taking place. The rumor mill is running crazy, and people have told me that they allowed workers back without testing, even though they had left the county. They should not have returned to work for 14 days, as per the rules. I hope that is not true and I would love to see some sort of investigative journaling.
I Agree. All employees at all business along with the public needs to be tested to be on the safe side. Yes you are right there needs to be an Investigation done and a through one at that.
Outbreaks like the one at Alder Bay are happening in nursing homes all over the country. I hope the community appreciates the employees, instead of blaming them. Nursing home employees, along with grocery store workers, gas station attendants and restaurant workers at take-out places are among the lowest-paid workers in the economy. Our health and safety is mostly in the hands of people who are not valued for their work.
I hope AB and other nursing homes have plans for containing the outbreak and making sure their employees are safe and well-trained and getting tested often. The families of their residents must be so worried.
Thank you for this. It breaks my heart to think of the elders who have been isolated from family when ill and/or dying. We must appreciate and thank these essential workers everywhere who have kept on “keeping on”.
That has been universally true around the world. Covid-19 deaths spread like wild fire through any place where the elderly congregate. And the death rates in that population are very, very high. Cuomo in New York has been criticized for ordering nursing homes to take patients from the hospital before they were tested as negative. ” Previously, the health department’s order stated “[nursing homes] are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.” https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cuomo-reverses-nursing-home-directive-to-take-covid-19-patients-requires-more-staff-testing/2410533/
Sweden is trying to increase staff for elder care. “In Tuesday’s announcement, the Swedish government said the pandemic had strained staffing in health and social care but particularly in the care of the elderly. ” https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/12/sweden-boosts-elderly-care-spending-as-coronavirus-death-toll-rises.html
“While just 11 percent of the country’s cases have occurred in long-term care facilities, deaths related to Covid-19 in these facilities account for more than a third of the country’s pandemic fatalities.”

Fast,
thanks.
May this dear one Rest In Peace 💗
R.I.P. whom ever you were. Prayers to the family and friends..
So very sorry for the passing of this family member. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.
Our condolences go out to the family of this person. I’m glad your family member was lucky enough to have seen so many world changes in their lifetime and so sad that this unprecedented historical event is what took them out. Our thoughts are with you as your hearts grieve and eventually begin to heal.
I also send my condolences people are just not following the rules and I’m out the one that believes that’s why sure her age contributed two dozen cases since May 8th and one death and you really think we should be opening up
My condolences to the family
She was 97 and had tested positive for Covid 19 before she died. That does not mean she necessarily died from Covid 19.
True
It also doesn’t necessarily mean she didn’t.
Sometimes doctors have to make judgment calls. The doctor on her case declared she died of covid-19. The whole “was in a car crash while infected with covid-19 being counted as a covid-19 death” thing is a falsehood being spread to try to make the deaths figure look inflated. In reality, cases are only counted as covid-19 deaths if a doctor declares covid-19 caused the death.
Read carefully. The headline says she died “from” Covid 19. The only official statement says she tested positive for Covid 19 and has died. So, either Kym is not using her language carefully or she has information other than what is quoted in the article.
Kym, care to comment?
Did she have Covid when she died?
Well then…
WOuld she have lived if she wasn’t infected with Covid?
My opinion is that it is fairly obvious she would have died ‘from’ covid 19. If a 97 year old gets a nasty flu she very likely will die from that. It doesn’t always have to fit your narrative to be true. Goes for both sides. Sad there are ‘sides’
What “sides”. I asked for a clarification of facts. Your opinion adds nothing to that.
Ullr Rover,
I carefully reread the entire post, from start to finish.
The most telling thing for me that suggests she died due to covid was that the info came from the hospital.
As in she was hospitalized with covid and died.
That she had it before she went to the hospital is likely due to her association with Alder Bay.
Although anything is technically possible, it is more likely the conditions and outcomes were related, than that they weren’t.
Also, what the hospital said is as close to revealing a diagnosis as can be, without coming right out and saying it, that can be allowed.
It’s an assisted living facility, not a convalescent home.
Her baseline must have been being in pretty good shape.
She could have had many years more to live if not for the covid,
God rest her soul.
Would it have been better to say, “First death in Humboldt County ‘with’ covid -19”, as if it was just a coincidence?
Not if it’s attributed statistically, which I think we can infer, it will be.
Cut Kym some slack here, I believe it is an accurate headline.
If it gives the powers that be pause in there decision making to reopen things, I’m sorry, so be it.
The elders deserve extra protections.
Sometimes the best we can do is to extrapolate from the info given.
Condolences to the family.
Mark is my primary photographer. He commented here: https://kymkemp.com/2020/05/18/first-death-in-humboldt-county-from-covid-19/#comment-1074999
I’m pretty sure that no matter what I say, many folks who can’t see a hole if they are up to their neck in it will try to pretend that somehow no one dies of a disease, pandemics never happen and it’s an ostrich making those hoofbeats at the pony show.
Go ahead and search for reasons why no one really ever dies of COVID-19
And yes I’m angry that real people whose family will never spend another day with them are the subject of odd speculation for political reasons. When the public health officer says there were x many suicides, y many homicides, z many vehicle fatalities, you all have no problem. But once your political view that the COVID-19 crisis is overblown is challenged by one single elderly lady’s death, you start questioning the meaning of words like you are Bill Clinton parsing the meaning of “is.” For heaven sake, President Trump who many of you profess to admire says he is taking hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, as a preventative measure against the disease. https://www.wsj.com/articles/president-trump-says-he-is-taking-hydroxychloroquine-11589834484 Do you think that might be because it exists and kills people?
Any loss for any reason of a loved one is devastating and painful. Anyone in their right mind does not want to be the cause of someones death.
Yes, Covid 19 exists and so does the 1968 Hong Kong flu still exist. At it’s peak I don’t recall the governmental and bureaucratic overreach & power grabbing that is happening now.
People were cooperating voluntarily but then the demands, threats of fines and arrests started needlessly so narcissists could display power they are not entitled to adding more stress to a difficult situation.
It doesn’t help that each community changes the rules almost daily as if they are flying by the seat of their pants.
Most of the info after given turns out to be inaccurate, tests faulty,
and supplies that should have been available were not.
Treating voting Adults like small children is not the right approach especially when it’s obvious the people in ” control ” are either not informed or are not informing us. Every “fact” has to be pried out of them. Each one has a different idea how long to keep peoples lives on hold.
I don’t recall any of this during the HK flu.
Here is a comparison to the Hong Kong Flu.
The 1968 Pandemic Strain (H3N2) Persists. Will COVID-19?
1968 was a bad year for flu but, as pandemics go, it was pretty mild. Scientists called the flu strain that hit the world H3N2. It’s still around.
Globally, about one million people died until the outbreak faded during the winter of 1969-70. In the U.S., the death toll was approximately 100,000 – three or four times the average annual death toll for flu since 2010, according to CDC figures. Most of those deaths were among people age 65 or older.
Although the COVID-19 death toll has not yet reached the numbers of H3N2, it still continues to climb. According to Johns Hopkins University’s continually updated Coronavirus Resource Center, global deaths for COVID-19 are now in excess of 116,000, and the U.S. has seen over 22,000.
The H3N2 flu originated in Hong Kong in July 1968, appeared in the U.S. in September and is still circulating as a type of Influenza A. H3N2 was present among the 2019 flu strains and in the swine flu outbreak earlier in the decade.
Like so many viruses implicated in 20th century pandemics, both the H3N2 virus and the SARS-Cov-2 virus that causes COVID-19 exhibited cross-species transmission, appearing first in animals before jumping to humans and, sometimes, back to animals. A canine outbreak occurred in late 2017 in Ontario, Canada and persisted until October 2018.
H3N2 is considered one of the most troubling flu strains because, like COVID-19, it is highly contagious.
more it’s worth reading.

So there is no guarantee of safety with this virus no matter if we open or not and the politicians should listen to the people not boss them around playing with their lives.
This gets discussed in inappropriate areas on your site because it’s what people want to discuss but do not have an appropriate place on your forum to do that. Therefore it winds up everywhere in all your news bytes..
Maybe you need an area called the battleground.
My comment was not meant to get a rise out of you. It was meant for clarification. I’m sorry for your loss and others affected. Unfortunately this is political and will drive policy. Any death is tragic and all life is precious and the current policy is not helping people live.
I’m not a Trump sycophant and his words and actions are not a driver for my view of this. Clarity of facts are the most important factor right now and decisions on policy need to be made with clarity and balance of consequence. Right now the narrative is driven by emotion and confusion and we are on the cusp of heading down a path from which the country may not ever recover. As a private individual I am reponsible for being vigilant.
Call the COVID line 441-5000 number. They might answer you.
One of the many fun aspects of this shut down is the media gets only a short window of time to ask questions and each organization can ask only two at a time with no followups. So since I’m confident this lovely older woman died of disease that is killing thousands per day across the world, I’m not wasting one of my questions on this.

“GAIN OF FUNCTION”
They say this has been discredited, but how much can you really trust scientists who are living from grant money or cushy tenured position’s at research institutions and universities?
WTF is melinda gates wearing an upside down cross with a red corona, on national television.
If it’s hard for people unaware of the dark occult to understand the difference between Satanism and our modern technocrat…
But your intentions seem to be to keep peoples eyes closed!
Why, day after day after day after day, do you post such blatant misinformation sources?
From an obscure Indian site to ZeroHedge to, well, everyone, here’s the trajectory of a fake story about Covid-19.
https://www.wired.com/story/opinion-how-one-particular-coronavirus-myth-went-viral/
“An inverted crucifix is always considered disrespectful, inverting the meaning of the cross, whereas a simple inverted cross is not. Still, an inverted cross is sometimes intended as satanic.”
I would note that a certain commenter had an obsession before he got banned. And if a commenter using another name appears to be emulating that obsession and making similar word choices then that would mean they would get banned. Now, if you aren’t that person and you don’t have that obsession, all’s well.
Garbage opinion piece. I like Wired and am suprised they would publish something with zero substance.
““Did China Steal Coronavirus From Canada And Weaponize It?” The true answer, of course, is no…” That’s it. No facts produced to counter the “misinformation “…
The author litters the east coast rags with her opinions.
The new normal is ABNORMAL.

Statically speaking we should of had 11.25 deaths by now if we shared an equal load of our states average. Deaths are inevitable. They have been from the beginning. If she was 97 and had a, or several underlying conditions, The flu would likely of yielded the same result. This is literally the worst case scenario, a illness that affects the elderly with compromised system hits a old folks home. All that means is that it’s far more widespread than has been reported by minimal testing.
We really need to see the national death statistics split into 2 categories: nursing homes vs outside the homes. Despite best efforts by the best convalescent homes, they are prone to contagion issues by their very nature. Staph, mrsa, etc .. not just cv19.
But our rulers will use it to justify plunging us into economic chaos which also causes death and unintended consequences.
🤦♂️
My heart & thoughts to the victims family. Alder bay staff need to be more careful of what their doing This is what happened in Washington State except on a larger scale.
Our first COVID-19 caused death. People can be so cold. They are already minimizing the 97-yr old’s death because of her age. Well, maybe she was happily looking forward to her days ahead before a worker traveled and returned to work without bothering to quarantine. Maybe he had to work because otherwise he’d lose his job. Maybe now this young man will have to live the rest of his life knowing his lack of diligence caused the death of someone under his care. How much pain need be caused before people are willing to follow the simplest of remedies?
Have you heard Bill Gates speak to DEATH PANELS?
https://youtu.be/03MZG9vK0W8
These young kids of today will bury grandma and grandpa to save the planet.
Mark my words.
You people are helping our government turn our country into a fascist state, one 97 year old in assisted Living dies and we are supposed to keep locked down over this you people are insane .
Ok.. The woman was 97 years old, jeezus what do you expect? I doubt it was literally covid19 that she succumbed to.
Why not?
Would you doubt the effect if she had gotten hit by a car instead?
If they had said she had died from complications of the flu, that would have somehow been more believable?
I guess it does add up if you consider that the first stage of grief is denial.
Very sad news. Condolences to her family and friends. God bless.
Very sad news. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. Thank you everyone at St. Joe’s that tried to save her life. God bless all.
🕯🌳First prayers and condolences to the family members of the victim. They have roving nurses at some of these facilities also the hospitals. Look you guys were just praising a nurse that went to New York to help out when there’s been roving health care workers coming and going in Humboldt County for years and Doctors. 🐸🌍🖖
Areas are reporting that 80 to 90 percent of fatalities are coming from nursing homes or long term care facilities for the elderly.
Perhaps “areas” are, but nationwide it is 1/3rd. In 14 states it is 1/2, perhaps a bit more, in nursing homes.
Humboldts at 100 percent.
Where I live in Oregon, now, our county has had no deaths, and only 8 confirmed cases. Which is a farking miracle because we are right on the coast with a direct route to the valley over the coast range where most Oregonians live, plus 101.
But then, when the lockdown was first “suggested”, right before spring break and restaurants, bars, etc. closed, people still came in droves to go to the beach I guess. The locals avoided them like the plague (heh), some even yelling at them to go home, but right after that, Oregon slapped down hard. A 1250.00 ticket if you were not traveling “essentially”.
I know one person who got one of those. Though he is considered essential and was required by his boss to return to work. He lives in the valley and had to come to the coast for this job. He was stopped twice. The first cop let him go, the second gave him the ticket anyway, though he may be able to get it tossed in court.
Though of those 8, two have been in the past week. 🙁
True that.
Very sorry for the family. I lost several family in the last few years and it’s never easy. I am still grieving.
But re increased lockdown:
Yes vitamin D levels are big component. It is now reported that 66% percent of new cases are in people who have been isolating at home. Statistics look best for states and countries that never quarantined at home, but they practiced social distancing and other social measures.
This virus is real AND a hoax. We could be living our lives in less fear if the leading doctors and governors had put less energy into locking us up, and been willing to accept that Hydroxychloroqine + Azithromyxin + Zinc (all 3 components are necessary for effectiveness) works very quickly if prescribed early. Countries AROUND THE WORLD are using this effectively. Do you know that Dr Fauci has his fingers in every evil medical money pie and has accomplished nothing of real good for Americans in 40 yrs. He will not encourage this med combo, and donated over 3.7 million US dollars to Wuhan lab in recent years for …?
The Clinton Foundation is involved in Tracking and Tracing. Enuff said.
We don’t need to go this route people. Why are the Blue states doing HARD quarantines but many Red states observing looser protocol. Why didnt Florida have huge breakouts after Spring break? Why is New York so screwed up? States are now adjusting their misquoted death numbers down. Newsome gave CHINA 1 billion for masks? You Tube and other big social media censoring accurate stories about Hydrocloroquine or natural alternatives. Do you see that the virus is real but is being used in a hoaxy fashion to control us under Color of Law and to get that sweet federal ventilator $$$ and yes, advance that NWO. Sorry, it sounds wack but is true. Much of what is going on is just unconstitutional.
Wake up folks or you will have no summer and will go into autumn with less immunity than you’ve ever had, due to isolation. And the breakdown of our economy will add deaths to the inevitable virus deaths. Stop reading the headlines and watching mainstream media. (Alternatives are OANN or EPOCH TIMES. Even NPR is fully globalist sponsored). Dig deeper. Represent. Spread what you know or have learned. I got into this subject as an advocate for medical freedom and am not by nature political. But believe me – this is a very important time in History and not just because of a virus. I share this because I love the people!
Thanks Critter! Well said!
66% of stay at homes only in a certain area of New York, certainly not overall.
Might be because of common ventilation systems in huge apartment complexes and maximum population densities.
Attributable deaths are more likely undercounted.
Possibly by as much as 2 or 3 times if you compare the acceleration to the world wide rate.
Much is speculation.
I was very suspicious when the US death rate acceleration was so much less than the world’s average.
Just doesn’t make sense.
What does make sense is an incentive to undercount or the inability to confirm causes of deaths due to lack of tests for the dead.
If we hadn’t done this absurd lockdown none of this would be happening. Quarantine the elderly, keep the people with lowered immunity at home. Everyone else needed to be exposed to acquire antibodies. The strain of the flu would have passed away. Instead, we get medical industrial complex insanity. Herd immunity not herd STUPIDITY!
“Those who sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither.”

A very good article here.
“At the molecular level, it’s something we’ve never seen before, and then look at what it does to the body — the long list of symptoms — we’ve never seen that before.”

Total population control.
If I was completely honest, I would likely agree with the technocrats about thinning the heard of the less “diserables”…
Only problem is that I’m a freedom minded , independent thinker, and I would be considered expendable In their eyes.
They will give the job of low level decision making to the local jurisdiction and it will be tribal to say the least.
Hey Dr. Frankenstein, where the f we’re u for this one? Gdam lackey. One death is one too many. Someone lost a loved one because someone didn’t follow protocol. I told my kids, no nursing home for me, send me on my way in the woods.
Condolences to the family, rip.
Do they have all the gloves, Ppe, , etc., they need? Maybe someday should make sure they have all thru need.
So sad.
People using this poor woman’s death to promote conspiracies, make ignorant and misinformed political statements, and protest the infection rate controls are truly pitiful.
People criticizing the free sharing of information and thinking they get to decide what is ignorant or misinformed politically are perhaps secretly a little bit fascist? We have all had someone in our lives who has died.
97 years old is a long life. I hope it was a well lived life.
Most people don’t have that kind of lifespan.
Sending sick people to nursing homes may very well have some legal and ethical implications if the nursing homes, ans staff are not adequately prepared.
All you protesters and those saying they dont need a mask because you have jesus…..This is on you!!!
After reading news from around the world I wrote a friend a few days ago saying cases will probably spike and we’ll have pur first death here within 2 weeks. Its not that hard to figure out. We’re opening too soon.
Not everyone contracting covid is presenting with fever so not a good marker.
It seems people think this is somehow going to just be over and things will return to normal. Thats not going to happen. The folks working with the virus in labs say its mutating and they’re the first to say they dont even know if disinfectant will kill it on surfaces yet. All info so far has been based on knowledge of previous coronaviruses. It’s going to take years. This one is like all the known viruses rolled into one. It most likely came out from under glacial melt. So many virusus bacterias and even anthrax are thawing out&becoming active again. Corpses found frozen from 1918 had the virus in them still and it became active again upon thawing.
Dontcha think its odd that climate change has been completely left out of the equation??? People would rather believe crazy theories than face reality.
A vaccine probably wont work as you cant get the shot if youve already had the virus.
Please wear condoms as its spreading sexually as well.
When a govt squelches science in favor of profits, it literally kills people.
We are not seeing or hearing info about the folks who have died, no official honoring or anything. Very disrespectful.
I think if folks arent going to get in trouble for not wearing a mask then we should all be allowed to smoke whatever substance we want anywhere we want. Its the same difference.
Im gonna go light up in a store today, it’s my right&screw the state for telling me i cant! Im gonna fight with the manager if he tells me to put it out.
My smoking rights are trampled on daily, where are the protesters for smoking rights???? My body my choice right?
Yes, everything you said is your choice.
Peoples belief in Jesus didn’t harm anyone, they could have been in a bar or at the beach or a birthday party, or anywhere. They happened to be at church.
People will catch this, even people that believe in Jesus , it’s just a matter if it’s now or later when they are let out of lock down. Everyone needs to protect themselves as best they can. No one is forcing you to go anywhere. You can wear a mask.
What if the majority of people decided you should be arrested for your point of view?
Relax, take a nice bubble bath, enjoy the life you have now instead of worrying about what could happen. The spring flowers are beautiful. The sky isn’t falling.
Your anger isn’t helpful to you or to anyone else. It’s nice you wrote to your friend, it would have been nicer if the letter was more optimistic and uplifting since both of you have a very small chance of dying from covid-19.
Anger.
The second stage of grief.
Perfectly understandable if you recognise it.
Just another reason to turn this county into a penal colony to “protect”us!
I’m waiting for our county medical leader to give us a scientific study to show the ACTUAL effectiveness of the “social distancing”. Next interview somebody should ask this key question. I won’t hold my breath
The 4/1/2020 study by University of Minnesota CIDRAP Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy says in the
COMMENTARY: Masks-for-all for COVID-19 not based on sound data
FROM THE ARTICLES
Conclusions
“While this is not an exhaustive review of masks and respirators as source control and PPE, we made our best effort to locate and review the most relevant studies of laboratory and real-world performance to inform our recommendations. Results from laboratory studies of filter and fit performance inform and support the findings in real-world settings.
Cloth masks are ineffective as source control and PPE, surgical masks have some role to play in preventing emissions from infected patients, and respirators are the best choice for protecting healthcare and other frontline workers, but not recommended for source control. These recommendations apply to pandemic and non-pandemic situations.
Leaving aside the fact that they are ineffective, telling the public to wear cloth or surgical masks could be interpreted by some to mean that people are safe to stop isolating at home. It’s too late now for anything but stopping as much person-to-person interaction as possible.
Masks may confuse that message and give people a false sense of security. If masks had been the solution in Asia, shouldn’t they have stopped the pandemic before it spread elsewhere? “
Redwoods- Actually the statistics show the opposite of your unfounded claims .PPE protection is used in health care settings ,so of course cloth masks and surgical masks don’t meet PPE protection standards. Hong Kong (Asia)population 7.5million – 4 people have reportedly died from Covid.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-16/column-wondering-if-l-a-s-new-mask-rules-are-necessary-look-at-the-hong-kong-example
“Hong Kong has a dense population of about 7.5 million while New York City, with a population of 8.4 million, has had more than 27,000 COVID-19 deaths. Los Angeles County, with 10 million people, has recorded 1,700 deaths.
But Engel was right. As of last week, only four deaths in Hong Kong had been attributed to COVID-19. He put me in touch with his niece, Katie de Tilly, who owns an art gallery in Hong Kong. She emailed me to say that when news of a SARS-like virus first appeared in January, “no one and no government official needed to tell people to wear a mask. Literally 99% of the population” did so voluntarily.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-16/column-wondering-if-l-a-s-new-mask-rules-are-necessary-look-at-the-hong-kong-example
So, an LA Times opinion piece has more weight than a scientific paper with citations to actual scientific research? There may be other factors other than masks which have influenced why Hong Kong has fewer deaths. The absence of a negative is not necessarily a positive. Correlation is not causation.
First, my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the lady that died at Alder Bay.
Second, I hope to hell that someone learns a lesson about sanitary precautions.
Third: It looks like very great news for the Garberville region to open-up for business. We have less than 10,000 people. There has been absolutely NO (reported) covid-19. There has been absolutely NO (reported) deaths. So, it looks like we are good to GO!
Sanitary precautions are: Wear a mask to protect others from you. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth while in public. Wash or sanitize your hands before touching your face or anything that you might eat. DO NOT TOUCH door knobs or any other most likely contaminated object. Sanitize if you do touch anything. Limit your exposure to the point that you can. Stay at least six feet away from anyone not in your sanitary bubble.
Those that do open your businesses, be sure to continually wipe and sanitize all surfaces. Provide masks for your employees. Use sneeze guards. Provide sanitary wipes or lotions for your customers. Do not allow ANYONE in your store without a mask. Insist on six foot spacing.
Don’t be stupid, stay informed, as best you can with the VERY limited real useful information that you can get. Tell your “Leaders” when they are wrong. They maybe DEAD wrong.
WARNING: I am not a Doctor, my advice is for people that can think only. Use your own heads to protect yourselves and those around you.
Very good post Ernie. Thank you. I appreciate the efforts local businesses have made in regard to safety. I’m wondering about our smaller stores. … I’ve seen lines outside our local heath food store where we wait to enter to keep in-store numbers. How can we manage this when the rains begin again?
I know it’s almost blasphemous to suggest, but maybe get an umbrella.
I should buy an umbrella.
Reminds me of someone once, when we all standing out in the rain, heads soaked…”You can tell us local idiots, we are the ones with out a hat.”
I love your comment Angela, also I love that your sign your name so I know who the smart people are.
I’ve laughed many times about Humboldt locals that seem to have some kind of a phobia about using umbrellas, a raincoat, or hat in the rain. It must be part of the Humboldt cachet’. LOL
Either that, or we are at least smart enough to come in out of the rain…
Haha Angela. Read me a bit wrong. I 100% umbrella and raincoat gal. But still seems like it will suck for an oldie like me to stand outside in downpour to wait for my chance to get groceries or other essentials.
Oh sorry. I admit I always assume locals don’t use umbrellas. And by local I mean pretty much everyone who lives in the rain zone from Alaska to northern California.
.
Actually Ernie, there have been at least 3 reported cases of SoHum residents.
Yeah and they all recovered , i know who they are
My point, though somewhat obscured by my penchant for facetious expression, was that they don’t report anything useful. Like was that in Garberville or Fortuna? NOTHING IS REPORTED. Yet they make decisions about who can open and who can’t with reported cases, but you can’t know, because of hipaa laws. Everybody in the medical field knows exactly where the patients are, but we don’t.
Thank you, I take that as high praise.
It is definitely a thing. Maybe umbrellas are seen as wussy or something. Or for “fancy city folk”.
Though in fairness, sometimes the rain comes with high winds and an umbrella is wielded by the wind like a weapon. But I should still buy one.
Great post as usual Ernie.
The solution, the angle, the edge that everyone’s looking for to beat this tyranny has been here all along. People are always seeking answers, solutions, laws, or someone to lead the way, when the reality is, the solution has always been simple. It doesn’t even require critical thinking, analysis, or research. It only requires a moral compass and integrity. The solution is YOU.
The problem isn’t what other people say to you, how they look at you, or what they demand of you – the problem lies in how you choose to react to it. If your overall concern is about what others think of you, then you may be willing to sacrifice your freedoms, your morals, and your integrity. To take a different path and stand out in the crowd often terrifies people, even if it is the right thing to do. Those perpetrating the smokescreens know this full well and use it to their advantage while instilling fear, guilt, and shame. Once they’ve injected that cocktail, it’s hard for a lot of people to step outside of it and see it for what it is – manipulation. When you know you are doing what is right, what is just, and what is compassionate, you no longer care what others think, how they perceive you, or how they may look at you, because it is their own fears causing those reactions.

Hot Coffee, Well said..Thank You.
You’re Welcome Guest
Dear hot coffee,
One of the things that I don’t like about blogsites is that every now and then someone make an intelligent comment that I wish that I could know who they were. Such as you.
However, my friends and their opinions mean a lot to me, so I do try to temper my opinions, without sacrificing my principles. Normal people can sincerely believe in the darndest things. I won’t name some of the things that people believe in. Things that the average people know are just plain dead wrong. Still they are my friends and they deserve respect. So, where do we draw the line between respecting my friends and telling them their opinions are messed up?
Hardly anyone comes even close to believing like I do, and I KNOW my friends are wrong in many ways. So my choice is being a hermit or just simply going with the flow. Never pick a losing fight.
Great comment, Ernie.
No one has a monopoly on truth.
COMPASSION is far more important than the need to be right.
We’ve been lied to, since we were children, about too many things in the context of living a good life, that the only journey that truly matters is the journey of the individual spirit back to the energy from which it came.
https://www.learning-mind.com/jungian-archetypes-spiritual-evolution/
Thank you Ernie what a nice compliment.
I agree with you it would be nice if we could use our real names but the blow back would be devastating. Just look how much Kym gets!
I just don’t have time for that.
Enjoy your day!!
Ernie,
First, please know that I have great respect for you, and admiration, and I consider you hero material. It figures you would be the first to rush towards danger, not away, that’s what heros do.
I respect my elders, and you mean alot to me. Please don’t be in too big of a hurry anytime soon.
Second, unfortunately, some people will traipse about in town and socialize, knowing full well they are ill with God knows what, in a seemingly malicious and deceitful way, then coughing nearby, as if they are actually trying to spread it to others. Happened to me Friday. Looks like I better stay put for a couple weeks because they didn’t.
Third. Looks can be very deceiving. FYI. Just a warning. There may be more unseen out there that meets the eye, but not as far as you can see.
I know how carefully you and Janice run your business and that you have all proper protocols in place and it will be safe for those who enter. Not everyone is that careful. What I worry about is the risk to you that might come in from the street.
Fourth. If any of this seems disrespectful it is only misunderstood.
There is one thing I think we don’t have in common, though.😉
I’ve been locked in the Garberville Jail Cell.🤣
Who else on here can say that?
God bless you, Ernie.
P.S. I was framed.😂
I meant “But not as far ‘away’ as you can see”, as in closer than that.
I didn’t mean
“but not as far as you can see” as in you were overlooking or missing something.
Just wanted to clarify that.
My mistake.
“If you notice, 18% of the people came from nursing homes, less than 1% came from jail or prison, 2% came from the homeless population, 2% from other congregate facilities, but 66% of the people were at home, which is shocking to us,” Cuomo said.
“Much of this comes down to what you do to protect yourself,” Cuomo said.
“Are you wearing a mask? Are you doing the hand sanitizer? If you have younger people who are visiting you and may be out there and may be less diligent with the social distancing – Are you staying away from older people?”
“It comes down to personal behavior,” he said.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cuomo-coronavirus-patients-new-york-at-home-not-working/
It helps if you know your own habits…when I shop I sometimes tend to lean my forearms on the shopping cart handle while looking at my list so, when I leave the store I have a small bottle of sanitizer in my pocket and also wash my forearms before getting in my car.
I’ve seen some cart cleaners only clean the middle of the cart handle where the plastic is, but many people push the cart buy the edges of the handle so I clean my own cart handles.
I also wipe my Debit card.
I keep a zip lock baggie with a few paper towels and enough alcohol in the bag to keep them wet in my car.
I drink tonic water that contains quinine, also Vit.D and zinc.
I don’t fear other people because I take care of myself.
Little things you know about yourself and others can make a difference.
The last one day total of 5 positive tests were out of 57 tests. 57.
We have tested .03% of county.
4000 of 135000. Not good.
[…] Redwood Blackbelt has the sad details. […]
Since “safer at home” was declared it’s purpose was to slow the spread of the virus, so that the health care system wouldn’t become overwhelmed. This isn’t the situation in our locale. We’re blessed to be living in the eye of the hurricane. There’s as of yet no cure, but there are many things to do to stay strong. Life is for the living and it’s good.
Very sorry for the family. I lost several family in the last few years and it’s never easy. I am still grieving.
But re increased lockdown:
Fear is useful in the beginning to inspire quick action. But ongoing fear is deadly.
Yes vitamin D levels are big component. It is now reported that up to 66% percent of new cases are in people who have been isolating at home or in rest homes. Statistics look best for states and countries that never quarantined at home, but they practiced social distancing and other social measures.
This virus is real AND a hoax. We could be living our lives in less fear if the leading doctors and governors had put less energy into locking us up, and been willing to accept that Hydroxychloroqine + Azithromyxin + Zinc (all 3 components are necessary for effectiveness) works very quickly if prescribed early. Countries AROUND THE WORLD are using this effectively. Do you know that Dr Fauci has his fingers in every evil medical money pie and has accomplished nothing of real good for Americans in 40 yrs. He will not encourage this med combo, and donated over 3.7 million US dollars to Wuhan lab in recent years for …?

We don’t need to go this route people. Why are the Blue states doing HARD quarantines but many Red states observing looser protocol. Why didnt Florida have huge breakouts after Spring break? Why is New York so screwed up? States are now adjusting their misquoted death numbers down. Newsome gave CHINA 1 billion for masks? You Tube and other big social media censoring accurate stories about Hydrocloroquine or natural alternatives. I don’t have all the answers, and am at high risk myself. But I do see the virus is real but is being used in a hoaxy fashion to control us under Color of Law and to get that sweet federal ventilator $$$ and yes, advance that NWO. Sorry, it sounds wack but is true. Much of what is going on is just unconstitutional. Governor edicts are not “law”.
Wake up folks or you will have no summer and will go into autumn with less immunity than you’ve ever had, due to isolation. And the breakdown of our economy will add deaths to the inevitable virus deaths. Stop reading the headlines and watching too much mainstream media. ( Even NPR is fully globalist sponsored). Dig deeper. Represent. Spread what you know or have learned. I got into this subject as an advocate for medical freedom and am not by nature political. But believe me – this is a very important time in History and not just because of a virus. I share this because I love the people! And Humboldt taught me to care.
I just heard POTUS has been taking Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc for about a week and a half. Has not tested positive.
WARNING! DO NOT TAKE FISH TANK CLEARER.
Always check with your Doctor.
He’d be better off wearing a hard hat and steel toed shoes. He looks goofy as shit in safety goggles. And if he would wear a mask, at least that would make sense. What doesn’t make sense is that today all of a sudden he has been taking it for a week,and about a week and a half, and about two weeks, while only just starting on a Z-Pack which only lasts 5 days.
Something don’t add up.
Sounds familiar.
Trump said his Dad was born in Germany.
Maybe it was Gepetto.
Except Gepetto was Italian.
I still say it was Gepetto.
I actually laughed! Thank you.
You’re welcome.
What is also funny is Gepetto’s nickname, Polendina, used by his neighbors to annoy him, because he wears a yellow wig resembling corn meal mush.
Sounds like this hit close to home with it being your photographers family.
She sounded like quite a remarkable lady.
Reminds me how much I miss my grandmother.
How you folks can comment with your head shoved up your own arse is beyond me…

Dr. Frankovich’s statement was to the point here “We must all remember that there is a cost of staying as we are and a cost of moving forward out of shelter in place. I ask every resident in Humboldt to help move us forward as safely as possible, together, and with a sense of purpose to protect each other, especially those who are most vulnerable.” https://johnchiv.blogspot.com/2020/05/i-am-saddened-to-report-our-communitys.html#more
The more she talks the more she gets paid. Plain and simple. The only difference between Dr. Frankenstein and a juke box is the price to listen to her bs.
She should be fired, and medical license ripped from her greedy little hands.
Unlike some troll bot commentors, hint hint, she does not get paid for each word spoken.
Plain n simple.

MISINFORMATION, I MADE NO UNFOUNDED CLAIMS!!!!!
Those conclusions were from the University of Minnesota CIDRAP Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy article clearly stated. NOT FROM ME!
Maybe reading what is written before telling me I’m making unfounded claims!
Quoting the LA Times articles gives me a GREAT laugh!!!!! The LA Times is a better source than the CIDRAP doctors that wrote that article with 52 references? When donkeys fly!
The authors of the article I refrenced:
Dr. Brosseau is a national expert on respiratory protection and infectious diseases and professor (retired), University of Illinois at Chicago.
Dr. Sietsema is also an expert on respiratory protection and an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Both ARE EXPERTS ON RESPIRATORY PROTECTION!
