20 New Cases Reported Since Friday
Press release from Humboldt County COVID19 – Joint Information Center:
Dashboard - Printable (10)Twenty new cases of COVID-19 have been reported since Friday, bringing to 388 the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus.
Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said, “While many of the new cases are still under investigation, travel outside of Humboldt County and gatherings of individuals with those who live outside their households continue to emerge as significant risk factors for spread of infection. If we want to remain in Tier 3 or even improve to Tier 4 in the new state framework, everyone will need to do their part to decrease transmission by using all of our prevention measures.”
Daily and weekly datasets on the Humboldt County Data Dashboard have been updated. Some highlights include:
- The county’s confirmed case rate is significantly less than the state and nation at 287 cases per 100,000 residents compared to 1,763 and 1,824 respectively.
- The 20-29 age group continues to represent the highest number of cases at nearly 25 percent.

🕯🌳Damn those travelers. In Fortuna and other areas of Humboldt I’ve seen about every 3rd lisecene plate is from out of state or at the very least out out County. Damn those travelers.
It’s trimmer’s season.
Its not trimmers. First of almost don’t have vehicles but just go to fern canyon any day of the week and you will see a FULL parking lot. Something we normally do not see at peak travel season.
well…Fuck you! I can show proof of “trimmigrants” going out of county and posting on their Facebook page about visiting the “Sundial Bridge”, Crescent City, Ken-fucking-tucky, South Carolina, Chicago, New York and various cruises up and down 101 all WITHOUT A MASK!!
These moral infants should be quarantined EVERY single time they leave and try to come back! Shame on the growers, like [edit] in Dinsmore, that have no issue with hiring these fucking assholes to do their trimming for them! I hope all of you bastards catch it!
Enough of the bullshit already! It’s about time we seriously consider a county-wide lockdown on travel in and out of the county, but the almighty dollar is way too fucking important for the people in charge to be willing to do that.
1 more key element to this…These same trimmers have been here for YEARS, (they provide proof of this on their Facebook page,) yet they still have out-of-state license plates on their vehicle.
At what point is enough actually enough?
We only have to do this for, at the most, 3 WEEKS!(Although travel ban on incoming will be significantly longer.)
Narc city over here. What r u so afraid of?
Catching Covid-19.
6mil cases/180k deaths = 3% mortality rate.
Does that include the millions that contract it and have no symptoms. Your fatality rate is wrong. 24 million didn’t have symptoms.
Everybody picking on the out of town trimmers and no one picking on the out of town buyers…….interesting……….
One buyer, 30 trimmers? Or one buys but does not trim? But it’s a very valid point.
CLAIM: Trump killed thousands by wrong action on Corona!
FACT CHECK!
FALSE: Survival and Death rates, for Obama’s 2009-2010 H1N1 Swine Flu are STATISTICALLY EQUAL to what we experienced for CoronaVirus under Trump
Did we DESTROY the Economy in 2010? DID WE MASK?

(Of course CNN disagrees)
The numbers will drop even more starting tomorrow when CMS will require a positive COVID-19 test with a patient’s medical record. There has NEVER been an actual test required to get the 20% Medicare bonus.
Follow the money?
20%? More like 150%, medicare pays 5000.00 American for typical pneumonia, but pays 13000.00 for COVID-19 with pneumonia. Easy 8000.00 bonus if you can test enough times to get a positive. That explains why the guy I know that was in St Josephs got tested 10 times for COVID-19, sorry St Joseph, no positive.
That seems to be the plan…keep testing until a positive results and call the positives “cases.” It’s more frightening. People forget that months ago “cases” were only used to denote hospitalizations, not positive tests.
I think you are misremembering. Here’s the second “Case” in Humboldt back on March 20. https://kymkemp.com/2020/03/20/second-case-of-covid-19-confirmed-in-humboldt-county-today/ There’s nothing about hospitalization being part of a case.
Then I went and looked all the way back to our first case back in February–nothing about hospitalization: https://kymkemp.com/2020/02/20/one-case-of-covid-19-previously-known-as-novel-coronavirus-in-humboldt-county/
WTF: New Report Suggests COVID Cases were Overblown by… 90 Percent!?
The PCR test amplifies genetic matter from the virus in cycles; the fewer cycles required, the greater the amount of virus, or viral load, in the sample. The greater the viral load, the more likely the patient is to be contagious. This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and coronavirus patients, although it could tell them how infectious the patients are. In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by The Times found.
And, at least according to the latest from The New York Times, which is hardly an anti-masking crowd, as many as 90% of people who tested “positive” for COVID-19 carried “insignificant” amounts of the virus and were likely not contagious. That means, in my opinion, all this shutdown bull shit was just that.
Do you have a link?
Oiginal article in Atlantic Courier Journal has been 404’d and now the NYT article has disappeared and been backpedaled. This is being squashed ever since CNN called it false and social media censoring
Tim Pool gives a great summary here with the ACJ article. Tim is a great independent journalist and uses only certified news sources.
https://youtu.be/FkvES1hHWFw
This brief review is the only article I can find today
.. others have been censored. At least it has a good chart and cdc link
https://www.citizensjournal.us/new-cdc-report-shows-94-of-covid-19-deaths-in-us-had-contributing-conditions/
The NYT article is still there: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html/?2020-08-29T09%3A00%3A20%2000%3A00
The link just worked for me.
Part of the plan is also to continue to exploit the initial psychic shock of the first fright, when many including myself, believed millions would die in the US, and that people would be dropping in the streets.
This blow to the psyche was “managed” with intent. Do not underestimate the power of such event programming (and the continued ‘new normal’ programming in advertising etc) to affect people’s consciousness negatively and to muddle thought processes with fear driven agenda.
Motive?
I did see a rise in smoke refugees from south of us shopping in Garberville. Can’t really blame them for looking for cleaner air.
🕯🌳What about 5 a day right? Were is everyone?👁👁
WHO GIVES A SHIT ALREADY !!!
Zero new deaths. One new hospitalization. Best wishes to all for a thorough and quick recovery.
Plus the cover up of the WinCo employee who had it.
5 cases a day don’t panic seems about right we flatten the curve over 100 day ago don’t let our local media start to scare you they sure made sound like a big shit storm these doctors support baby killers (democrats)
I think your math needs to be revisited.
I think your brain needs to revisited Kym. Every time i see your face I wanna puke and everything I read your words it makes me realized how stupid most people are and how libtards like you are everything thats wrong in the world. I hope you get Covid. It would make all of this not for nothing.
Geesh, you sound just like the irrational antiTrumpets whose only criteria for judging the truth is “How can I make it sound as bad as I want it to be?” No one is forced to panic no matter how many war drums the media beats.
I think you can make your point without being so disrespectful to Kym who so kindly lets you post here.
We can disagree with each other without being vulgar.
Proof is the best way to convince people not insults.
“kindly lets you post” Ax the ability for people to comment and watch your site traffic drop 50% overnight. That said, I did find the “makes me want to puke” comment over the top. Sure Kym has her opinions, but she still allows a wide latitude for others to voice theirs.
Divide, I have 1.9 million views in August. And I had a little less than 10,000 comments. (That’s 190 views for every 1 comment–that’s not going to equal a 50% drop if I quit allowing comments.) I do think comments add social and informational value but considering the time I spend on them…I’d be better off monetarily writing stories that bring readers that in turn bring advertisers. I lose advertisers because the comment section is too free. But I value the voices of my community.
Kind of a dick thing to say.
If you don’t like what you read in this blog then for shit’s sake DO NOT READ IT find some thing else to piss & moan about!!!
A good rule of thumb is to not say anything online you wouldn’t say to someone’s face.
Don’t be an asshole.
kym does more for the community with the news and allowing discussion than most people can say they ever did. Your intolerance shows shes smarter than you too.
6.66 lol
So what? The novel coronavirus is not particularly dangerous. It’s absurd to continue living in fear of a very minor plague. Wash your hands.
The over all shows 3. The release says really 2.
🕯🌳Damn remember when all these people were your friends Kym and where thanking you for the updates and information you so graciousally work hard to put and that I personally appreciate. But the one’s denieing are the ones sounding the most scared. And there the one’s that have most likely have never had the virus and keep themselves locked away from the public. But they are the first one’s to tell people to take off their masks and go out into the crowds. Hmmmmmm.
Willie- no one needs to be grateful for a commercial product. They might be grateful for a good commercial product but that’s another issue. There are all kinds of “deniers”- including those getting subsidies from the government who deny that this money comes from the workers they are fine with screwing and those who see no Mexican Cartels involved in illegal drugs. There’s more than enough denial going around to include just about everyone.
Right? Pablo Escobar just sold tiles to try to feed his family.
Amen
Don’t throw rocks or bricks I should say… while living in a glass house.
WELL Said Sir William ;-]]
The only way to beat this disease, like I said, in March, is to get exposed, and then survive…

And now, the businessmen are looking for more of a CoV-19 profit:
https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/fda-playing-with-fire-as-it-looks-to-fast-track-covid-19-vaccine-experts-warn
We only want to fight CoV-19 as long as we makes money off it…
Meanwhile, in just one county, they have performed over 23,000 tests, to confirm less than 400 cases. At about $100/test, for the PCR test, that’s $2,300,000 for diagnosing 388 cases!
This is a fantastic waste of resources, and, the best thing we can say about CoV-19 testing, is that it’s like masturbation, it makes you feel better, for a minute…
Stop getting tested, if you have no symptoms. It’s a waste of money, and, if you are positive, you still have to survive…
What is a real irritant is the fact that various levels of government has been trying regulate it out of existance for 6 months. Lock downs are a brutal club of a weapon designed for strategic use as a last resort. Too many people wanted it to be used continuously because they were afraid of being blamed for doing nothing. Now it is very hard to apply because it has already done much damage without long lasting success.
The funniest part is, the people running to get tested because they are afraid they might have the corona,are running straight to a high risk area. Hopefully California pays for testing for the flu and gives hospitals a healthy bonus for every flu case they find. Flu numbers would be up in the tens of millions and fatalities would be at pandemic levels. Huhh?
Damn people mostly you all from crazy Town ! I know it’s hard to understand things you can’t see like radiation or viruses) ..But seriously who gains from this massive conspiracy ,not buying it .
From The War of the Worlds radio broadcast to Y2K to the Great Shoelace Panic, people do not need a conspiracy to panic into self destruction behavior over a news story. There’s a good chance that government actions during this pandemic will be among the examples of self inflicted misery over speculation at some point in the future.
