Six More Positive Cases Found in Humboldt County Today, July 21
Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:
Humboldt County’s count of confirmed COVID-19 cases rose to 195, after six additional cases were reported today.
Today’s alert level stands at a two and has remained unchanged since the tool was launched Thursday. This is due, in part, to a high demand for testing and testing supplies nationwide, according to Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich.
Dr. Frankovich said that even with an increased demand on testing and the slower turnaround time right now, screening for the virus is still a useful public health tool. “Some of our more recent cases have been individuals tested through commercial laboratories collected either at the OptumServe site in Eureka or their provider’s office, so we want to encourage people who are not experiencing symptoms to sign up for a test at Optum,” she said. “Individuals with symptoms, such as fever, cough or shortness of breath, should reach out to their primary care provider or to the Joint Information Center if they do not have a provider so they can be tested. Ill individuals should seek emergency care if symptoms become severe.”
Visit LHI.care/covidtesting or call 888-634-1123 to make an appointment at the OptumServe site at Redwood Acres in Eureka. Please note only available appointments will be shown on the website. If no time slots are available, check back to schedule.

It looks like Humboldt has reached 10% of the populatioj tested now.
Why do we not have the less invasive testing options here?
🕯🌳Contact traceing is a pain in the ass because people are not truthful in their information. So testing goes to the wayside and its expensive.🌍👨🚒
People are lying to the contact tracers? Oh, for Pete’s sake.
Screw contact tracing. I would tell them nothing!
Can you tell me everyone you saw in the last 2 weeks for over 10 mins.?
I could because I’m fairly isolated, but many people couldn’t.
If you stood behind someone in line or at a gas station, and don’t know who they are what can you say?
Also how do I know that the tester isn’t contagious or giving it to me from the previous person they tested?
I’ll just stay self quarantined except for a grocery run every 10 days or so.
🕯🌳If you tell someone you stood in line at a store a camera should be able to tell a bit more maybe. But if your dealing drugs your not going to tell them who you’ve been in contact with and so forth. This is the travel gap that there trying to close. Plus,and I’ve brought this up before there’s legal and illegal Air bnd’s in Humboldt and both don’t test or care who they rent to. They invite the fox into your henhouse and these people come from were the infections are the worse stay for a short time then leave. I’ve met a few in Fortuna, Eureka,Ferndale, Mckinleyville and other places in Humboldt. There here basically doing business. 🖖🌍🇺🇸
The most countries in the world have some sort of household register where citizens and non citizens must register their physical address and usually includes ID information such as date of birth, place of birth in enumeration with some level of the government. And that makes tracking a whole lot easier.
And their condition is?!!! They’ll never disclose that, it wouldn’t support their narrative, which is to instill fear and divisiveness in the community. The sky is not falling no matter how many sheeple believe it is.
🕯🌳What is a sheeple? Are they the same as a denier?🤯🇺🇸
Geez Willie sounds like you would put a cop in every home.
🕯🌳No not at all but what is the major trade for Humboldt? And what does the dashboard tell you the reason for transmission is? Travel!! In Fortuna about what two weeks ago they busted those two on the south bald. for heroin and were they from? Where they released back to? Three days before they were on the bed they tired rented the illegal air bnd room in my building and I have them on video. And again they from were? I can even tell you who invented them here. But that would just pissof Billy.🖖🇺🇸
I think that a sheeple and a denier are the same. They both bleet the same fake news that everything is OK. Just go out and have fun. It will all be OK.
Nooooo, I think you can find one in a mirror!!!
We are lucky so far. Parts of Texas, Florida, and California are like war zones in the hospitals. Count your blessings.
Speaking of war zones 14 more shot in Chicago tonight during a funeral…. so far.
Lightfoot must be so proud! She has 40% more murders than NY.
Media is being told not to cover the story.
I wonder what the Health Care costs are for all these shootings and the life time disabilities.
A tragic disaster.
“In Chicago, 1,901 people have been shot this year. That is 550 more than 2019.”
https://www.chicagotribune.com/data/ct-shooting-victims-map-charts-htmlstory.html
And they want to defund the police….
Most were in serious to critical condition, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.
Carter said there were 60 shell casings on the scene. The number of shooters was still being determined by detectives, he said.
Carter said there was a police presence at the funeral due to its size, but it was unclear whether a squad car was present at the time of the shooting. Police often assign beat cars to funerals for homicide victims.

Yikes! Chicago is a mess. That won’t fit a certain narrative, so not much is being said about gangs killing each other in poor communities.
🕯🌳That is sad and do agree something needs to be done drastically and fast.🚁🚁🇺🇸
600,000 dead from SARS-Cov2 in 7 months.
Kind of a different scale “tragic disaster” than 1,901 dead.
Maybe Kym should put a “black inner city crime” section up for some of y’all to really get your rockers off, with a sense of justice.
That’s a pretty asinine comment. Humans wantingly killing each other for nothing is just wasted human life especially considering the age demographic of those dying.
Blaming a virus is like blaming an earthquake.
How do you you know they are killing each other for nothing?
And how do you assume that fatherless black kids are more of a problem than our history of separating black families from themselves and their history – through slavery and continued racism?
Blaming a virus is like blaming an earthquake.
Yet, you are on a virus thread bringing up crime in Chicago.
You say your Covid status will affect no one, so why does Chicago’s violence affect you?
Could it be that black inner-city crime is more bothersome to you than a pandemic creeping into your county, or confederate statue removal?
Violent crime is stupid. And I wish the youth would learn that guns don’t solve any problems, brains do.
But you supporting expanding education would also be a roadblock, right?
Too much Gubbbermint.
—-How do you you know they are killing each other for nothing?
Less than nothing, really. The net gain is the destruction of their communities.
—-And how do you assume that fatherless black kids are more of a problem than our history of separating black families from themselves and their history – through slavery and continued racism?
Study after study after study. I’ve provided numerous links. And it’s not specific to black families. Fatherless households lead to higher juvenile delinquency across all socioeconomic groups. Look it up… or how about find a study that shows something to the contrary.
—-Yet, you are on a virus thread bringing up crime in Chicago.
It was a response to another comment if you followed the thread.
—-You say your Covid status will affect no one, so why does Chicago’s violence affect you?
My covid status doesn’t drive bad policy, the violence in Chicago helps drive the false narrative of gun violence in the US and convinces people like you to support ineffective and absurd gun policies.
—-Could it be that black inner-city crime is more bothersome to you than a pandemic creeping into your county, or confederate statue removal?
I don’t do false dichotomies.
—-Violent crime is stupid. And I wish the youth would learn that guns don’t solve any problems, brains do. But you supporting expanding education would also be a roadblock, right?
Good education, especially morales, start from the home.
Kudos for the answers.
I’ll get back to ya.
Regarding slavery vs. fatherless homes.
I don’t know why you might not consider the origin of fatherless black homes as related to racism and even slavery, conjoined with typical societal dysfunctions.
But is it even an accurate viewpoint?
There seems to be contention on that:
Fatherlessness is not defined by living arrangement. Josh Levs’s article, “No, Most Black Kids are not Fatherless”deconstructs the “70% of black children are fatherless” myth. Data from theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention report, “Fathers’ Involvement with Their Children” (yes, the CDC tracks data & researches topics like this), verify that the majority of black fathers actually live with their children (2.5 million versus 1.7 million who don’t). Furthermore, whether living in the same home or not, black fathers are the most involved of all primary recorded race and ethnic groups.
And to slavery’s extent of devastation?
From Pew Research:
Black adults are particularly likely to say slavery continues to have an impact: More than eight-in-ten say this is the case, including 59% who say the legacy of slavery affects the situation of black people a great deal. By comparison, 26% of whites, 29% of Hispanics and 33% of Asians say slavery affects the position of black people in American society today a great deal, though majorities of each group say it does so at least a fair amount.
The survey also found that more than four-in-ten U.S. adults (45%) think the country hasn’t gone far enough in giving black people equal rights with whites, while 15% say it’s gone too far and 39% say it’s been about right. About eight-in-ten black adults (78%) say the country hasn’t made enough progress in this area, compared with 37% of whites and 48% of Hispanics. (Because this question was asked of a random half of the sample, the views of Asians can’t be analyzed separately; for more information, see “A note about the Asian sample.”)

Pick a study
Your pew study is about perception and the article you quoted doesn’t have a link to reference.
420,000-740,000 dead from the 2019 flu in 7 months, and there is a vaccine for it too. The flu also killed more infants last year than covid has killed people under 25 in our country.
https://www.contagionlive.com/news/how-deadly-was-the-2019-2020-flu-season
https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2017/p1213-flu-death-estimate.html
https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/02/28/flu022820
So when the CDC puts out estimates for flu deaths, you use it.
When the CDC says Sars Cov 2 is more deadly and dangerous than the flu, you ignore it.
10/4
And, 1911, with respect, the CDC says this from your link:
According to new estimates published today, between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses each year, higher than a previous estimate of 250,000 to 500,000 and based on a robust, multinational survey.
Let’s leave aside the broad range they’ve left us there in bold and say this:
Influenza is established in the world. In fact, likely close to 90% or more of earth’s population has been affected by theee influenzas.
Now, there is no data to support an idea that SARS-Cov-2 has even touched 5% of the earth’s population in its first 7 months.
And it has already passed the death count from CDC peak influenza deaths.
Or no guns, for anyone. That’s my vote, however unpopular.
Think through that idea for a bit.
They can’t think it through.
Problem, reaction, solution.
Cloward and Piven for the WIN.
Yes, I have been thinking through that for more 20 years.
And unicorns for everyone too?
If Australia can do it, we can do it (but certainly not the unicorns).

Everybody is fine, stop worrying about a fake virus
Humboldt is trending upward with more cases per day. This is troubling, and we should probably shut down. I guess it depends in part on how many cases are from the community – ie. we have no idea where they came from. The more of these, the worse.
More tests, more positives.
It’s what they want, but we have no idea what a positive really means, now do we.
The real novel test takes 2 weeks to get done. What we are seeing is a push to crush the economy.
Period.
Medical Doctors can’t speak out, unless they want to lose their practice to the medical boards that say our way or the highway .
It would be interesting to see a graph of who wants to open the economy vs. who doesn’t split into age group rather than political party. I have a strong feeling that there would be a major split at say, the over 45 group vs. the under 45 group. Most people under 45 realize this doesn’t do anything to us. It starts to hit people over 45 harder. How about people over 45 hide while all of us young, strong people work and get the country back on track? After all, your social security, unemployment, disability, and Medi-Cal are all going to run out of money unless we younger people start working. But I see the writing on the wall, we will be shut down right up until California is so broke that the public sectors pensions’ are threatened. Once ol’ Nuisance sees his pension is on the ropes, the pandemic will magically be over and it will be back to work. He’s just hoping he can hold out till after Nov. 4.
Billy Boy our somehow covid expert sheriff says open the schools even though we have hardly any capacity to handle that inevitable shitshow. We are really banking on some sort of therapeutic intervention becoming available soon before we completely demolish all the months of isolation for “the children” oh clutch my pearls “the children” the children probably would like not to experience the demise of their family members for the sake of in class education.
A new wrinkle in D614G’s arsenal. Another similarity with Spanish Flu, where the second wave mutant strain started infecting younger people, 20 to 40?

“The Public Health Agency of Canada now says more than 55% of new infections over the past week have been in younger adults under the age of 39. Earlier in the pandemic that group represented about a third of all infections.
https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/07/418081/1-3-young-adults-may-face-severe-covid-19-ucsf-study-shows
“For the week ending April 18, there were 8.7 hospitalizations per 100,000 of the population for the 18-to-29 age bracket, compared with 128.3 per 100,000 of the population for patients over 65. By the week ending June 27, the figures were 34.7 and 306.7 respectively, representing a 299 percent increase in hospitalizations for young adults, versus a 139 percent increase in hospitalizations for older adults.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/us/coronavirus-cases-young-people.html
“In Arizona, where drive-up sites are overwhelmed by people seeking coronavirus tests, people ages 20 to 44 account for nearly half of all cases. In Florida, which breaks records for new cases nearly every day, the median age of residents testing positive for the virus has dropped to 35, down from 65 in March. And inTexas, where the governor paused the reopening process on Thursday as hospitals grow increasingly crowded, young people now account for the majority of new cases in several urban centers. In Cameron County, which includes Brownsville and the tourist town of South Padre Island, people under 40 make up more than half of newly reported cases.”
On edit; I believe most of this can be attributed to spring break, graduation, and opening bars. The nightmare photos of jam packed swimming pools are bearing fruit.
A new wrinkle in D614G’s arsenal, and similar to Spanish Flu which in later waves infected 20 to 40? year olds more than any other age bracket. It also looks like those nightmare photos of jammed packeted swimming poolshas born fruit.

So? Show me the death rate! You want to know why? Cause all of us are young and we are going to go live our lives. We are ready to catch covid, we don’t care anymore. We want to work, we want to see our friends, we want to provide for our families. A lot of us, 30 years old and younger, only have 10 years of savings, compared to all of you over 45 who have had at least 25 years of savings. 15 plus years more of work has an impact on a family’s ability to weather this shutdown. Of course there is an increase in hospitalizations for young people, this is America. For every healthy individual under the age of 30 I can show you 2 who are morbidly obese. It makes sense. Take responsibility for your own actions and health, time to lose the weight and quit the drugs. This virus is a much needed purge for our population, we will be much healthier as a whole when this is over. Either get healthy, or risk dying. The weak, elderly, injured, sick, and dying are constantly culled from animal populations by natural predators and natural diseases. We have no predators, except for each other, the earth’s natural systems always seek balance, so this is what we get, a virus. A virus so extremely tailored and merciful that it even leaves our young children, and babies alone.
I find it funny how so many baby boomers talk about the environment and what us humans and overpopulation has done to the planet, but now that there is a natural “antidote” per say to these problems that that generation has laid before us, they are all running scared. Why? Cause they are in the risk group now. Its funny how that generation pushed abortion billing through, something that preys on the youngest and most defenseless of all of us, but now that there is a virus that pretty much singles that generation out, they want to shut everything down? You boomers ever think that Karma is one hell of a mistress? Wimps, the lot of you.
I agree with except for the 10 years of saving part.. I dont think that the majoroty of folka under 40 hve 10 years of savings in this country..
Well 10 years to save vs 25 years to save. I stand corrected.
Wow, that is the most massive load of stereotyping I’ve seen in a long time. I feel like I’m watching the Jerry Springer show.
I’ll tell you what. If there are alot of “younger” people who want to roll the dice and get covid so they can build immunity then I say lets do it. But if you think the rest of the world is going to let a bunch of clueless young people keep spreading this virus around you need to think again. Or at least begin the thinking process.
But there is a solution. We set up covid camps, you know, like your summer camps but for covid, where you can go and get infected and then stay in the camp until you are clear and then you can re-enter society.
Actually, thats not a bad idea.
You sound like Hitler.
Your advocating for the death of old people, something Hitler considered, and you’re calling me Hitler. Thank god there are so many beautiful and aware ‘younger’ people out there that understand the importance of caring about their fellow brothers and sisters, irrespective of age, and not hoping a disease wipes out old people so they can have this planet to themselves.
I pray for you.
Haha your a funny guy. In no way do I advocate for the death of old people. You are really reaching hard there. Death is inherent to life. Just cause I want to take a chance doesn’t mean you or anyone else has to. You would rather have us all go broke and deal with all the problems associated with poverty instead of allowing us to work and you just staying home?
The solution is to let us go back to work and stop being afraid. There were 103,339 deaths related to covid as of June 17, 2020. Of those 103,339 deaths, 83,426 were people over the age of 65. We have a flu vaccine that we give to people who are older and very young children, because they are at risk. I do not get a flu vaccine because I am not at risk. If we had a vaccine for the coronavirus that we only administered to the “at risk” group, the people over 65, since it is shown that it doesn’t really affect young people, the coronavirus would’ve only killed 19,913 people as of June 17, 2020 in the US.
https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/06/23/coronavirus-covid-deaths-us-age-race-14863
By comparison, the flu killed 34,200 people in the 2018-2019 flu season. We have a vaccine for influenza and vaccinate our most “at risk” populations too. The flu also killed 136 children during that season. You can look at the chart above and see that covid-19 has killed just over 150 people under the age of 25! Stark contrast if you ask me. So suck it up buttercup, its time to go back to work and put our big boy pants on. If you are old, you need me to work to pay your social security, so step aside and let us do our jobs while you hide.

Why does my comment replying to brian keep getting deleted Kym? I’ve posted it twice, its a pain in the ass to keep digging up these links and sources. This is the second time.
I get that problem too. My sometimes solution is to push ‘back’ on your browser and your comment should still be cached in the ‘comment’ box. Try again. You’ll probably get a ‘duplicate comment’… go back and add a character and try again. If that doesn’t work, go back and start taking links out, try to post, and post those links as a ‘reply’ to yourself. That usually works… if not I have one final thing to do: give up.
Note: sometimes when you go back your comment is moved to the bottom rather than nested as a reply.
Thats what happened to me above.
@Kym ^^^
Too much work haha. I went back and tried to repost and it said I was trying to post a duplicate message. Then it all disappeared and I gave up.
Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.
Tells me your scared.
I’m sorry. I must have missed some of the conversation. Scared of what? I mean other than God.
Skeered to go to work and contribute to society.
🕯🌳Hey I got shank for call someone buttercup but it was alright for them to call me sheeple. What’s the difference?🌍🐓
