Largest Report of New Positive Cases in Humboldt County at One Time With 12 New Cases Today on July 27

Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:

Humboldt County’s total COVID-19 case count rose to 217, as 12 additional cases have been reported. While this is the largest single-day increase since the outbreak began, today’s report includes all new cases since Friday’s report.

Since last Monday’s update of case distribution by age, 28 cases have been diagnosed locally. Two of those were reported in people over the age of 50, while 26 were between the ages of 0 and 49.

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich pointed out that the long-term impacts of COVID-19 are unknown even for relatively healthy people. “We’ve seen many positive cases associated with gatherings of friends and related to travel,” Dr. Frankovich said. “I’d ask everyone to consider their own health and the health of their loved ones, especially those who are medically vulnerable before getting together with friends. It’s vital that we all do what we can to limit spread of this virus.”

Today’s alert level stands at a three. Visit humboldtgov.org/dashboard to view the county’s Alert Level Assessment tool.

It’s relative, Angela. While covid-19 is a serious illness which is worth effort to avoid, the amount of fear that has been generated over it has serious consequences too. The issue is whether the fear mongering has created its own unnecessary deaths.

All the official blurbs include a bit about keeping up with normal, non covid-19 health care. Well, getting that done has become harder. Some doctor’s offices don’t return calls at all espically for a referral, it may not be possible to get ordinary lab work, pharmacies may make mistakes on filling perscriptions and diagnosis by zoom visit is not so good for diagnosing problems that a doctor really needs to see. And that’s if the patient works up the nerve to overcome their own fears of infection and is willing to come in. Stress causes medical errors, decreases health and frankly causes people to do really stupid things. If those stressed people are officials with power, they can really screw up like Cuomo sending covid-19 patients into nursing homes to recover. Newsome’s releasing infected prisoners may be another. Not based on reality but on worse case possibilities created from mass fear of the unknown.

Besides, for every horror story about the devastation of covid-19 , there are probably 100’s of untold stories about how people are surprised to find out they were infected because they never really got sick. A little judicious restraint of panicked speech might make for less poor choices. For no other reason than one of these days a much more life threatening infectious illness than covid-19 will come along. But people will remember how much exaggeration came with this pandemic and not be so alarmed when they really should be.

I was not going to respond as of course I have no way to evaluate your situation and I don’t like offering personal specifics that other people can’t verify either. Although that fact doesn’t seem to stop some from being dismissive. But I will say that I was turned away from a lab involving a simple blood draw because pandemic safety changes, have had to change a medication I take for a less safe one because the first was unavailable, have had two prescriptions issued with the wrong medication or wrong strength and even have been unable to get refilled a medication for one of my elderly animals who had being taking it for 2 years without a hitch. I had referral from one doctor to see a specialist 4 weeks ago and have not yet heard. It sounds like a lot of contacts that went astray but really it’s not a lot of contacts, it’s just they all had problems. It has become a lot more difficult.

Doesn’t really matter. According to the CDC’s own numbers it was mathematically impossible for everyone in the world to have not been infected by last Thanksgiving.

Again, going by the CDC’s numbers for exponential spread, everyone in the world would have to
be being reinfected billions of times per day (if not trillions) by now.

The fact that here we are, nine months after the beginning of this, “outbreak,” and out of nearly 15,000 tests they’ve only been able to come up with 217 positives pretty much puts the lie to all of that, doesn’t it?

Then let’s look at the CDC’s fatality rates. I’ve seen numbers bandied about from 1% to 6% (some sources go higher than that). Given an average two-week incubation period, that means if the CDC’s numbers on exponential spread are correct and everyone was infected by last Thanksgiving, there should have been between 75 million and half a billion dead worldwide by last Christmas.

Instead, even with wildly inflated fraudulent numbers, they’re barely able to scrape up 2 million seven months later.

Going by a very conservative number for exponential spread (1:2) and optimistically assuming that that first publicized case in March was actually the first case in Humboldt County, that means that everyone in the county had to have been infected long before any restrictions were put into place.

Again, using the most conservative of the CDC’s numbers, that means we should have had 1400 dead before the end of April.

Instead, months later, we have four — and it’s not because of social distancing and mask wearing because remember, no one was doing that back then.

So when do we quit breathlessly awaiting the number of, “new cases,” each day? When do we realize we’ve been played?

When do we stop asking, “But why would they do that?” and realize it doesn’t matter? When someone is breaking into your house you don’t question their motivation. You get them the hell out of there, and that is what we need to do with all this Covid nonsense. End it, and then pursue the question of, “Why?”

If you’re ready for this to be over, don’t meekly acquiesce to the nonsense the disembodied heads on your screens tell you, that you must follow ridiculous mandates to, “stop the spread” — a spread their own numbers say had to have happened long before any of these mandates were implemented.

If you’re tired of the nonsense, the fastest way out of it is not masking up and waiting on a vaccine. It’s standing up, speaking up and saying, “Enough!”

Pretty much everybody says average incubation period 5.1 days. Spread faster than you thought. But, how about the rest of your numbers? Are they as “accurate”?

ttps://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-0504
Results: There were 181 confirmed cases with identifiable exposure and symptom onset windows to estimate the incubation period of COVID-19. The median incubation period was estimated to be 5.1 days (95% CI, 4.5 to 5.8 days), and 97.5% of those who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days (CI, 8.2 to 15.6 days) of infection

My numbers are intentionally extremely conservative. In the beginning they were saying it could be anywhere up to 24 days. Now they’re saying 5.1. I chose two weeks as a middle ground.

Your numbers only emphasize my point, that if the CDC’s numbers for exponential spread are correct, and their fatality rate numbers are correct, we should have had tens of millions dead before last Christmas.

I intentionally chose the numbers I did because there has been too wide of a range of numbers bandied about to just pick one, so I used one far more conservative than theirs so no one could say I was exaggerating.

Going by the official numbers for exponential spread, the entire world had to have been infected long before Thanksgiving, and going by the official fatality rates, and your 5.1 day incubation period, those 75 million to half-a-billion deaths should have occurred by the first week of December.

It’s simple math. I did a large part of it in my head, then checked it on a calculator. The whole, “exponential spread,” thing had been bothering me so I ran the numbers and lo and behold, they’ve been lying to us the whole time.

It’s just the math, ma’am.

Turkey reportly administers HCQ to every patient who test posivite for covid and they attribute that to their lower death rate than some of their neighbors. Even though every doctor who doesn’t like trump tells them they are wrong. I’m convinced that trump should just say that the cure to beating covid is being fat and staying inside. There would be a record number of Americans getting fresh air and getting in shape.

Considering that here in Humboldt County we have a .003% fatality rate out of a population that, going by the government’s numbers on exponential spread, should have been thoroughly infected by either last November or last March, I’d say you’d be far better off with the HCQ.

And that’s in the off chance you developed any symptoms at all after exposure to Covid.

Actually I was hoping for much more but….eh….you take what you can get. In all fairness though the reason we have had such low numbers in our area is because it’s a save area. And you should be grateful. On Nov 4th the progressives and liberals will be releasing, through out the US, the antidote to covid 19 but because Northwestern California produces the best pot (the progressives) and wine (the liberals) they decided to make this a safe area where the antidote is added in small portions to drinking supplies and night time heli overflights. Nothing that could be traced.

Then when Biden is elected and the disease mysteriously disappears, (dubbed the ‘Miracle of Biden’), we can make him the next Jesus instead of Trump.

I know I have been predicting a serious downturn for over a week and I still think it’s coming, or at least I’m praying it’s coming. The reason I initially predicted it was because the original surges of the EU strain that hit the northeast US and Europe in the Spring lasted for 1 and 1/2 to 2 months and we are closing in on two months for the EU strain hitting the south and west this time. If it continues surging and doesn’t have a serious slowdown that could suggest that the EU strain is becoming in some ways like a common cold (another coronavirus) that could hit anywhere at any time, which it’s starting to look like.

I’m still betting on a serious slowdown, it’s just been extended. In 4 weeks time we’ll be seeing 4 cases a week. But that’s just Humboldt. The real problem is the south and southwest US (like Graceland except Trumpland) where people still flaunt basic protections and the number of new cases keeps rising at a strong clip almost daily. That’s got to be slowed down or it could create it’s own infecting inertia.

“We’ve really got to make it very clear. If you want to pick three or four or five very simple tools that could have a major impact on turning around the outbreak, wearing a mask is definitely one of them, as is physical distancing, as is avoiding crowds, as is closing bars, as is washing your hands. I’m pleading with people to consider doing this consistently because, you’re right, if half of people don’t do it, it kind of negates the overall purpose.“ Dr. Fauci

Fauci: If, in fact, and I hope it isn’t the case, we have significant COVID-19 activity as we go into the fall and winter season, that will be problematic and complicate things because that’s two respiratory infections circulating together, which is one of the reasons we’re telling people that, when the flu vaccine becomes available, make sure you get vaccinated so that you could at least blunt the effect of one of those two potential respiratory infections.

I think not. Good Lord, does no one have the ability to tear their faces away from their phones, the internet and TV anymore, and run the numbers? To actually look behind the curtain and see the charlatan pulling the levers?

Dr. Fauci has been proven to be a bald-faced liar. To see anyone quoting him as an authority on anything is laughable — but entirely indicative of the power disembodied heads on electronic screens can have over people’s thoughts and emotions.

Virus-linked hunger tied to 10,000 child deaths each month

https://apnews.com/5cbee9693c52728a3808f4e7b4965cbd

[Quote]

All around the world, the coronavirus and its restrictions are pushing already hungry communities over the edge, cutting off meager farms from markets and isolating villages from food and medical aid. Virus-linked hunger is leading to the deaths of 10,000 more children a month over the first year of the pandemic, according to an urgent call to action from the United Nations shared with The Associated Press ahead of its publication in the Lancet medical journal.

Further, more than 550,000 additional children each month are being struck by what is called wasting, according to the U.N. — malnutrition that manifests in spindly limbs and distended bellies. Over a year, that’s up 6.7 million from last year’s total of 47 million. Wasting and stunting can permanently damage children physically and mentally, transforming individual tragedies into a generational catastrophe.

“The food security effects of the COVID crisis are going to reflect many years from now,” said Dr. Francesco Branca, the World Health Organization head of nutrition. “There is going to be a societal effect.”

Not a lose-lose at all. Those numbers illustrate that the covid-19 panic has resulted in million of children that may be permanently messed up. More than has even been infected by covid. It also shows that hundreds of thousands of children are dying because of this. The only solution is to open up. Scared of sending your kid to school cause they might bring home covid? Maybe you shouldn’t have had kids. Being a parent is scary stuff. Terrible things may happen to your child. Is it really ok to destroy their lives because we are scared? No, not at all, especially when the disease doesn’t even get kids sick. Either take the risk and provide a good life for your child or hide your child away and produce a messed up individual that, at that point, probably should’ve never been had.

Parents are supposed to risk everything for their family and children. Elderly are supposed to educate and sacrifice for the next generations. Children are supposed to reap the benefits of those moral lessons and learn those lessons themselves in the process. It really seems back-ass-wards that we are sacrificing the well-being of all these children, and pretty much our future, for our own security and the security of the elderly. We are teaching our kids that they are pretty much cannon-fodder and that they should treat their children as such.

If the US had tried to help the situation pre-Covid, I can only imagine the comments of “wasting tax payer dollars” from ahem, some here.

And wouldn’t, ahem, some here say these problems are just “poor choices” by their parents?

Of course, hard liners would simply brush this off with lines similar to “people die” or “life causes death”.

Your partisanship and cynicism makes you myopic. Obviously what was happening before the additional 10k kids a month dying was working better than what is going on now. Let’s start with that. Also, the last generation of wealth creation has lifted more people out of poverty than any attempt by any government actions, but government actions have quickly destroyed that.

‘Temporary” measures strung out ad infinitum is the worse thing to do because it hamstrings people from taking action for self-preservation when everyone keeps think things will return to “normal”.

Daily deaths from Covid reached over 8,000 a day during peaks.

That was post “normal” with shutdowns, businesses and physical distancing and masking.

So, now that Covid is establishing itself worldwide, and with daily deaths on a rise, maybe it’s time to accept a new “normal” and adapt as best as possible, which essentially is normal.

Maybe it’s past time to look at more than that. Without a magic bullet of a really quality vaccine, which may never happen, or a universal successful treatment, the world is faced with the ancient reality that coping with a pandemic is not the same as hiding from one. Sensible precautions, being adaptable and knowing the limits of expert advice would be a good place to start.

There is a natural Gaussian curve to respiratory infections. First it builds as people are exposed then peaks as some form of immunity applies to those who recover, those who don’t have died and then tapers off as people who can effectively spread the disease grow smaller. If people hide out until necessity forces them out, then the curve becomes a standing wave where each new group exposes themselves when they feel safer, curve rises again, becomes the sick and hides out then the curve falls again. Then repeats. Only by the time people have become older and more vulnerable, children have been born and maybe those who recovered have lost some immunity and are available to be reinfected even if their immunity levels might make the less sick. It could be that the very fearful unwillingness to be exposed is what will keep the infection going on indefinitly and there will actually be more deaths, spread over a longer period with the addition of a struggle with a damaged economy and its associated ills. It’s likely that science, when it has sifted through all the maybes that are creating surprises now, will come up with a best course of limited restrictions THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE from the start of fear hadn’t been the controlling motivation.

For those who think dying is the only concern with covid,a new study just released shows that people who didn’t need hospitaliztion still ended up with serious heart problems. The study showed that two months following their recovery, 78 infected patients were found to have structural changes to their hearts. A biomarker indicating myocardial injury similar to that occurring in heart attacks was found in 76 patients. Sixty patients suffered inflammation of the heart. The average age of the infected patients was 49. None had previous heart issues or other pre-existing conditions.

The studies’ results appeared to validate concerns expressed earlier this month by John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology in the the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program. “There is evidence now that the virus can directly attack heart muscle cells, and there’s also evidence that the cytokine storm that the virus triggers in the body not only damages the lungs, but can damage the heart,” Swartzberg told Berkeley News. “We don’t know what the long-term effects of that may be, but it could be that we will have a population of people who survive COVID-19 only to go on and have chronic cardiac problems.”

And you gathered that information from where? Another blurb typed by “researcher” who has always provided “his predictions” over fact? I missed where “researcher” linked to the article so I could read the report myself and make sure that he isn’t full of shit.

That is true of many illnesses and has been forever. They are called complications and why they should sudden be more important in this illness than many others is odd to say the least. I suspect the complications from measles and strep throat alone is much higher than from covid-19 but covid-19 hasn’t been around long enough to scientifically measure then so it is all anecdotal right now.

Reading all these conflicting opinions about covid makes it clear why USA is a failing country ! Covid just isn’t a political disease ! Please get together & treat this pandemic seriously. The more we are unified against it the faster we can get back to a normal life . Please !

This PCR test doesnt even test for this “virus”. It tests for a RNA sequence that can be found in motor oil and papaya fruit. The RNA sequence they test for has no relation to any virus at ALL! So every new virus “case” is a lie. No caus of death can be identified in any “case” intill an actual virus has been isolated via Kochs prostulate. The sheeple buying into this are ultimately responsible for the fall of the American economy.
Keeping your head down and obeying the lies will only make it worse and result in a global dystopia, controlled by psychopaths.

Prof Robin May, Professor of Infectious Diseases & Director, Institute of Microbiology and Infection, University of Birmingham, said:

“PCR testing detects specific pieces of DNA – so, for instance, this can be used to check whether a ‘lamb stew’ is really lamb, etc. In the case of COVID19, there is a slightly complication in that the virus encodes its genome in the related molecule RNA, rather than DNA (many viruses do this), so the viral RNA needs to be ‘copied’ into DNA and then checked by PCR to test for the presence of the virus. However, the process to do this is straightforward and fast and can be automated fairly well – hence the ability to roll out large scale viral testing. Consequently, PCR testing (or, more accurately, ‘quantitative RT-PCR testing’) measures the amount of virus in a sample (typically a nasal or throat swab) and a threshold is set, above which a person is deemed to be “positive” for the virus.

So the point which you’ve missed is that they’ve NEVER isolated the virus via the Kochs prostulate.

So how can they test for “it” encoded in RNA?

They have no virus isolated!

What they’re testing for is an RNA sequence in which they found in 6 of the original 200 people infected at Wuhan(ground zero). This RNA sequence could have been found in those people years before they claimed to be sick with such a PCR test. The same RNA sequence has been found in motor oil and papaya fruit.. That means they’re using the test to enforce their draconian lock down measures only! With no virus isolated the test is a farce and is defrauding the public.

“””Canada’s National Research Council: No record of ‘COVID-19 virus’ (SARS-COV-2) isolation by anyone, anywhere on the planet – in other words as I have been saying for months they have never shown the ‘virus’ to exist and therefore cannot ‘test’ for it or produce a ‘vaccine’”””

You read David Icke?

The guy who believes an ancient alien race of reptilian overlords have stopped humans from becoming all they can be? A lizard illuminati, if you will.

Funny story, to me anyway. I was looking up RH negative online (I have this) and came across the “warning signs” of reptilian/human hybrids. That’s where I first heard of him.

RH negative, extra vertebrae, reddish hair, green eyes, low blood pressure…and a few others. I did meet all the criteria I listed and I said to my husband “Honey, did you know you married a reptilian?” I described the above to him and he essentially said “Nah, you aren’t a reptilian overlord, you’re just Scottish”.

It’s been here for millions of years. You’re absolutely right — even if it were successfully eliminated from the human population with a hold-’em-down-and-shoot-’em-up vaccination program, it would still be here, waiting to jump on anyone who missed a vaccination.

Better to let such an innocuous bug run its course and let everyone build immunity.

Sorry Rod, replying to “furies:”
Look (everybody) stop reading the headlines and panicking. Of course there are immunities. Read a few long sentences and discover the (possible) facts. Vox is a leftish liberal site that has never met a vaccine that it didn’t like. The article is titled “What scientists are learning about how long Covid-19 immunity lasts.”

Again to “furies”:

‘Herd immunity might also be achievable in the case there is no vaccine, and even if reinfections occur.

“My expectation is that reinfections will actually be normal — but it doesn’t mean herd immunity is not achievable,” Michael Mina, an epidemiologist at Harvard, tells Vox in an email. He expects second infections will typically be mild, and “will not transmit much and will serve as immunological boosting events more than they do as transmission events that chip away in any substantial fashion against herd immunity.” Which is to say: Reinfections may serve to increase immunity in individuals.’ VOX News

I don’t know. The whole vaccine thing is really strange to me. Actually I think vaccine worship is primarily a “mainstream” and submission phenomenon and that vaccine panic is for folks who are insecure that our non-mainstream views will not be honored. I try to do the research and chose.

The medical profession has substituted managed care for all individual choice in the past 40 years, mostly for financial reasons. So most individual choices seem to be made in the dark. An orthopedic surgeon I know used to refer without any irony to his consultations as “selling surgeries.” I find most interactions with medical professionals to be pre-rehearsed song and dance routines. That’s not a very good environment in which to make choices. Vaccines are particularly difficult because the standard practice seems to be for the professionals to use your submission without any thought as a measure of your sanity.

” innocuous bug”?

It’s not innocuous for everyone bybfar but then government regulation, not only here but in most countries socialist or capitalist alike around the world, have not been able to fix it either. Those very few who have been good at keeping it out have uniform populations with good community identity and they will be doing things not tolerable in the US for years to keep it up. Live by hateful politics, die by hateful politics. Life in the US is much more of an adventure than those countries.

I took issue with someone dismissing an illness that has killed 150K and counting Americans as an “innocuous bug”.

I know of three people personally severely stricken by it, and two have now died (not on the west coast). Humboldt is so far seeming to get by without too many victims. It’s easy to be dismissive if it doesn’t impact you (the greater you).

It seems to be California’s turn at the batter’s box.

Our numbers are increasing for sure. Deaths are being prevented by the very people who wish/can live longer.

Catching doesn’t equate to probable death. It’s normal.
