More humbodtians died of the flu this year, how come we never tested and tracked the flu like this? What would flu numbers be? We were taught to stay home and weather the flu, how many were really infected every year.
🕯🌳Because we sort of have cures for the flu not this virus. Come this winter (it could) get worse. 🚑🚑🚑🚑
There is no cure for any coronavirus other than taking care of your immune health.
There is no cure for the flu either. There are things that help from getting really sick from it and a flu shot can set up your own system to the same. There is the same learning curve going on right now for covid-19. But lots of people do die from the flu- last flu season 25 to 60 thousand did die despite treatment and that was a relatively light season.
There is data from Italy showing a strong correlation between people who got flu shots and people who became very sick with this corona virus. And yes, it was properly controlled.
If you are generally maintaining your health then you will not have any difficulty with “covid-19.” That is a simple, easy and true fact.
What we have right now are a bunch of unhealthy people who want to drag down the entire society with them rather than lose weight, eat properly, or just stay at home while the plague is passing through town.
The data from Italy doesn’t show a correlation.
Maintaining your health is always a good idea but in my family alone there a man in his 30’s who seemed healthy but got brain cancer and now is vulnerable, healthy vibrant 90 year olds who are vulnerable because of their age, and another who has asthma. None of those are their “fault” but they could die. I’m willing to wear a mask for their sake and I really don’t sympathize with people’s fear of wearing one.
They are 90.. They may be healthy but they are 9p and close to death.. Cancers and such happen all the time.. What is healthy? Did he eat processed food? Did he exercise? Did he drink?
For fuck’s sake, stop victim blaming someone with cancer. He was an outdoorsy, bike riding, hiking, normal man who probably ate a cheeseburger and drank alcohol in reasonable amounts. If you are going to blame him, more than moderately athletic and healthy, then you might as well say that anyone but you deserves to die if it inconveniences you even by the small amount of wearing a strip of cloth over your mouth–which appears to be the case.
And let me tell you about my 90-year-old aunt. Funny, intelligent, hardworking, that woman would definitely be my companion of choice rather than someone victim blaming a cancer patient, throwing away someone’s life because they are a senior, and whining about a little strip of cloth.
Whiners be damned. I prefer people who are willing to pitch in and help make the lives of those who are dealing with obstacles better.
Didn’t your mama teach you to hold open the doors for seniors? Why wouldn’t you slip on a piece of cloth for them?
Jeez take it with a grain of salt instead of a pound of baby boomer frustration. Im not vicitm blaming and someone getting cancer is not a victim
It just happens.. Then you wanna talk about my.mom.. You have no idea ms kemp..
I don’t have an idea and we all have our pains in life that have to deal with and I don’t want to minimize yours. But it is frustrating to have you and 1911 act like people that I love (that I am–I inhabit the body of a 60-year-old fat woman) have very little value and aren’t even worth the little effort it takes to wear a mask.
Wait, I just realized that you said someone with cancer is not a victim…God, what the hell are they then?
You’re starting to sound like me… This probably means you should go enjoy some outdoor recreation and let Matt write the stories for today. I know I wish I could spend today taking a nice hike…
Yep, sitting here with tears rolling down my face. I think I need garden time. I’ll never understand not caring for the people whose lives are vulnerable. Especially when the effort involved is as simple as wearing a mask.
Many of the same folks carrying on about it say they would stand in front of people with their guns to protect them but they can’t be bothered with a strip of cloth. Reading so many cruel comments every day wears me down.
You have read my commentd as cruel. I am not cruel. I am more loving and liberal than you any day of the week. Youre just simple minded and mainstream brainwashed.

You can’t compare the two like that because you don’t know what the death toll would have been if we didn’t SIP. It’s a Catch-22.
🕯🌳But we can,and they have.👁🚑👁🚑
Oh in that case we better destroy the livelihood of half the state. Do you not see how absurd your position is? You will very soon when the consequences of your foolishness set in.
You don’t know my position because I never stated it and never will. I was just pointing out a fact. Unless the circumstances are identical then you can’t make a comparison.
At least have the decency to admit your position openly instead of trying to hide under a figleaf.
It is very clear that this is a standard corona virus and does not have magical abilities others do not. It is potentially very harmful to the old and unhealthy. For non seniors and the healthy there is nothing to be concerned about.
If the above strikes you as wrong in some way it is because you read media that lies to you. All of this is well-understood. Please understand that I am just trying to share the good news. It is not necessary to live in fear from this virus.
First, underlying conditions include being older than 65 or overweight or having asthma, stop acting like those are rare conditions. Anywhere from 25% to 45% of the population has “underlying conditions” that put them at risk. https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/high-risk-populations-severe-covid-19-infections-united-states and https://www.physiciansbriefing.com/infectious-disease-8/coronavirus-1008/45-4-percent-of-u-s-adults-at-risk-for-complications-with-covid-19-757041.html
Second, depending on viral load, even young healthy people can get this. Reduce your changes as much as possible by wearing masks and maintaining social distancing. https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2020/06/08/covid-19-linked-to-stroke-in-healthy-young-adults-says-preliminary-research.html
Yeah Kym you said it. Healthy people who take pride in their health and make sure that they eat right and are not overweight are having our lives wrecked because of all the people who decided that a cheeseburger tastes better than a celery stick and made that choice over and over. Guess what? A cheeseburger tastes way better than celery or carrots but I only eat them here and there because over time they are detrimental to my health. I know there are diseases that come about and kill unhealthy people all the time, thats why I chose to be healthy. How is it in anyway fair that because 45% of the population eats like shit or doesn’t take care of themselves, I have to shutter my business and go bankrupt? You tell me to wear a mask? How about we make a deal, y’all unhealthy people start jogging and eating right and I will wear my mask, seems like a fair trade. Otherwise, shove it, your time of reckoning is here, deal with the consequences of your unhealthy choices and I will deal with my consequences of not wearing a mask.
Well, being fat myself (didn’t use to be before I started this website…I consider I had to sacrifice cookies to keep from sacrificing a few of my commenters) I’ll take responsibility. But what about my 36-year-old cousin with brain cancer, my other cousin’s 15-year-old son with a genetic disorder, my vibrant 90-year-old aunt who still walks several miles a day, etc. Why can’t you wear a mask for them?
Guilt manipulation.. You really think youve got it all figured outbhuh?
Ah, I see. I’m manipulating you when I say hey there are real people who are affected by you not wearing a mask. But you are not manipulating me when you say “hey, cause Freedom… .”
Life is a dangerous game. There is no guarantee of survival. Nobody is dealt a fair hand. They should take care of themselves and shelter in place and I will take care of myself and run everyday and eat homegrown veggies and home shot meat. Besides, you trying to live forever or something? As far as your 90 year old aunt goes, she has lived longer than the majority of people on this planet will ever live, isn’t it kind of selfish of her and society to force me to shut down my business and go bankrupt and pretty much screw my life up for the next 30 years just so she can live 3 more? Isn’t this all about not being selfish? I’m sorry about your cousin with brain cancer and your other cousin’s kid with a genetic disorder, but brain cancer is usually terminal and if he is going through chemo he shouldn’t be going out anyway because he has no white blood cells to fight off any infection, much less covid or the flu. As to the young-in, a genetic disorder doesn’t mean he is at any more risk than I, it depends on what kind of genetic disorder he has. If he is immunocompromised, flu season is just as deadly as anything.
As far as touching on people’s health issues and wearing a strip of cloth for them, the majority of people have health issues due to being unhealthy. I will not wear a mask for them just because they chose to be unhealthy anymore than CalFire, PGE, the sheriffs, or the nat’l guard will stop flying their helicopters over my house even though I have severe PTSD from fighting for our country. Do I ask them to stop? No. Do I ask my neighbors to stop shooting their guns even though it has cause an episode for me here and there? No.
When you start to cater to me for choices that I made, I will start to cater to other people for choices that they have made.
When did i say “cause freedom” sont put words in my comment i didnt say.. Clearly you partisan everything out and its a shame.. No one is affected by me not wearing a mask. Sorry you want to live in fear.
Amen
Lord, when the Simpson’s makes a character to say those kinds of things people laugh. They think its an exaggeration.
There’s no guarantee of survival but you have the ability by wearing a mask (Note: the country is reopening quickly so stop bringing that up) to minimize the chance of infecting others but apparently that’s too hard for you?
What kind of monster says–hey, you sick people, you old lady, fuck off, I don’t want to wear a simple mask for possibly as long as a year only while I’m in public places while we figure this out together?
Really? Doctors in this country were standing shoulder to shoulder with nurses at the bedsides of people dying in tents earlier this year, willing to risk their lives to save people.
But you, fuck that, screw those old, sick people they get in the way of my right to strut about.
Feh, you pretend to be about masculinity and strength and you can’t even help this tiny amount? That’s not the kind of humanity that makes this world work.
Swine, I’m am partisan as is everyone. You are partisan to your cancer patients can die for all I care attitude and I’m partisan to that’s a sucky attitude.
And if you want to argue that not wearing a mask is not harmful, that’s a different argument than arguing that you won’t wear a mask because who cares about unhealthy people.
What 1911 said (and you amened) was “As far as touching on people’s health issues and wearing a strip of cloth for them, the majority of people have health issues due to being unhealthy. I will not wear a mask for them just because they chose to be unhealthy”
Claiming cancer patients, 90-year-olds, and teenagers with genetic disabilities choose to be unhealthy is fricking mind-blowing.
Talk about privileged, you guys live in some amazing world where no one is a victim of bad luck and everyone is the captain of their fate.
You really need to relax.. I care more for cancer patientd and have actually cared for cancer patients and just because i say the truth that you dont agree with doesnt mean im cruel. Im a realist. And yes. Those old folks and cancer patients may die . welcome to life.
Yes, they may die. But you have a very simple option to help keep them from dying and you choose not to do it. That does make you cruel or selfish or ignorant in my books. I’m not sure which one yet. I hope the latter because that’s fixable.
So mich hyperbole
The chances of me getting struck by lightning are greater than me killing someone by not wearing a mask.. Ignorant? You are quite mean today. Well as long as you feel safe and gokd about yourself.. I know i do.
I’m mean? You just said a the lives of a person with cancer, a 15-year-old kid, and a healthy 90-year-old (not to mention a fat 60-year-old and all the other people who are vulnerable to COVID) are not even worth the small effort of putting on a mask to save them.
Dang…let’s imagine a balance scale. I say I think you might be ignorant and you say you don’t care if a million people die as as long as you’re not inconvenienced even a tiny bit.
I’m pretty sure my side of the scale just flew up into the air.
Wade Harris has most likely killed more people in humboldt than the coronavirus so far, and y’all don’t care about that enough to keep him in jail, but let’s panic over this.
To the best of my knowledge, Harris has not been credibly accused of homicide.
I expect you to be wearing a mask forever.
Because Wade Harris hasn’t been credibly accused of homicide? I’m not sure I follow your logic, Swine.
No just sayin in referemce to above convo.. You should always wear a mask.
I do when I go where there are people that aren’t in my SIP family, Swine.
Yeah? And theres allot of people here who’ve never been credibly accused of growing weed also.
its seems like most commenters don’t understand how isolated we are. Humboldt is not on the way to anywhere and no one really comes to Humboldt. we are fortunate to have such low numbers. I have friends in other States that are seeing huge spikes, like 100-200 a day spikes. this virus will eventually make it to every nook and cranny on this rock so brace yourself.
Open up and get it then, weak weeded out. Be over the corona sooner
this must be why very stupid people want restrictions increased.
We only have 140,000 people in Humboldt county and we’ve already had 4 deaths in just 3 short months. All 4 were in one nursing home. It’s so bad we went to mandatory face masks today, anytime we can’t maintain 6′ apart indoors or outdoors. Good move.
First confirmed covid case Jan 20 on the west coast, going on 6 months its been here.
How many people do you think die in a typical month in Humboldt County? Hint: it’s much more than four.
Over 40,000 UK workers are now taking Hydrochloroquine proactively … and I bet many government figures and healthcare workers in the US as well.
How do we stop another economic shutdown and stop the Covid wave2 from happening?
Demand HCQ (+ Zinc). The 128th most prescribed drug in 2017 study … over 5 million prescriptions in U.S.
It can be taken proactively … ask your doctor.
Know your medical rights.
Except studies are repeatedly showing it has no benefit, and is likely significantly harmful. In fact, the best study on it had to be stopped early because it was no longer ethical to be giving it to patients, with all the results showing it was harmful.
You mean that study that had to be retracted?

Well, I and my family wear a mask when we go out, however people wearing fit-bit say that wearing a mask increases their heartbeat. Might not be so good for folks with arrhythmia.
I know I get a suffocating feeling from masks, can’t wait to get to my car and get it off!
5 months of this is a long time, but I am concerned for the sick & elderly so I wear one even if it only comforts them.
I’m also fed up with orders from the various gov. officials that are much like watching kids play with a yo yo.
I share that sentiment about wearing a mask. I do it because it might make others feel safer although I also keep reminding myself that it does not make me safe either. A sort of confused doublethink. But I did enjoy the moment when someone’s utter foolishness made me grin and realized suddenly they could not see that I was laughing at them so I didn’t have to suppress it .
This virus will keep spreading- slowly with all the restrictions, faster without them. And the longer it goes on, the more likely I will stop being cautious
