Zero new deaths. Zero new hospitalizations.
My friend was hospitalized on Sunday, with Covid 19. They live in Arcata.
That’s interesting. The hospitalization data hasn’t yet reflected that.
I hope your friend recovers quickly.
Perhaps you should biaatch to the person who compiles and releases the data.
Take off the mask September 15th
Just stop. Do your part to help out. It’s not much to ask… Please cooperate & don’t be a whiner, be a helper. Add to the total of helpful energy, not complainers.
Look at Australia.
Don’t ever tell free people that.
Your FORSURE staying on your knees lmao
Do you wear chainsaw chaps?
We will NEVER STOP COMPLAINTS AGAINST A BULLS HIT OVERREACH OF GOVERNMENT.
STOP THE COVID CRACK HYPE
It’s a slap in the face to all those who are suppressed in their free speech.
Don’t know what you got til it’s gone.
#donttreadonme
Sadly, mask requirements don’t seem to have done anything to suppress your speech.
You can thank my ancestors for yours.
Some of us have family who fought and died defending your rights to speak free.
When others are oppressed, no one is free.
Not sure if maybe another constitutional republic is out there WOrth saving.
i haven’t put one on yet! shopped in fortuna this weekend.. i was the only one in the stores i went into that wasn’t wearing a mask.. no problems. i was surprised.. when i go to hayfork there are usually several other unmasked people, even employees.
Your selfishness is remarkable.
And now, the “surge”…
The surge in fatalities?
I hope that works out for you.
Its not really an “Improvement” to forestall the inevitable: we will all get Covid 19 until we reach herd immunity. Most people in the fitness circuit have already tried or gotten the covid just to get it over with. We need 60% infection rate for herd immunity to occur. Silly to forestall and wait for a poisonous GMO vaccine. Get the covid and get it over already. Lets get back to business as usual, the new norm isnt working and never did. Let the human spirit be wild and free!!
What exactly is the fitness circuit? And based on what do you claim that most of it’s members have been infected?
Do you have to wear pants to be Wild and Free?
Try typing in the population of California..around 33 million? Multiply by various percentages of likely death from covid. At 1 percent, thats 330,000 deaths to achieve herd immunity in just CA. So in the entire country, at 338 million, even at a .5% death rate you’d have over 1.5 million American Deaths if everyone got it.
were these HSU students coming onto campus for this semester? Location location and -ucking location-where were they in the County??????????????? Dr. Frankostein has never ever given an honest answer about location-never. She falls back on doctor/patient privacy. BS-no names or addresses are used so there is NO privacy issue.
Where have all the cases been by Citys’ location since the DHHS started this line of lying and with holding crucial info????
14 of them are likely from SoHum since the number increased that much in that area since last Friday.
Fear F%&@ing Mongering!!! 25 New cases mean absolutely nothing without case by case severity. No new hospitalizations. No new deaths. Is anyone even sick??? Bullshit, Bullshit, and More Bullshit.
Did you read the part about “The county’s case doubling time has improved to 46 days.” Or are you just wanting to get worked up?
What the hell does that mean, “The county’s case doubling time has improved to 46 days” ??? And No, I’m already worked worked up over the sheer Stupidity of the masses, or should I say Gullibility!!!
And those who feed the fire.
Presenting a count of illnesses in a pandemic is not “feeding the fire.” It is simply information just as a fire location is. It is possible to restrain one’s own fear to think about dealing with it sensibly. And that means not overreacting in any direction.
You want to discuss tech totalitarianism?
The first and second amendment is worth fighting for.
Just look at the response to citizens of other countries who are protesting.
You want to trade places since you don’t have a problem with that system of governing?
When we have governments oppressing people’s freedoms and liberties because they are questioning the experts, it’s a little reminder that those people soft pedaling the narrative are a part of the problem.
.
Kym hasn’t come out in favor of mandatory vaccinations, but her enthusiasm for” keeping people safe and out of work” is painful to watch, in light of everything else that causes disease and suffering.
People who speak out against medical martial law in other countries are being arrested and charged for incitement.
You might think about china’s treatment of ethnic Muslims in work camps before you buy your next product made in China.
Yeah , it’s like that.
Good day
Cases are still meaningless. After months of weekly updates on cases but no discernible plague among the population you’d think even the densest off fools would begin to start asking questions.
Thank You, Reader!!!
Its cause this is an attentodemic not a pandemic or an epidemic.
Got to love those trimagents.
Doubling time is the amount of time it takes to double the amount of cases.
“The doubling time is time it takes for a population to double in size/value. It is applied to population growth, inflation, resource extraction, consumption of goods, compound interest, the volume of malignant tumours, and many other things that tend to grow over time. When the relative growth rate (not the absolute growth rate) is constant, the quantity undergoes exponential growth and has a constant doubling time or period, which can be calculated directly from the growth rate.
This time can be calculated by dividing the natural logarithm of 2 by the exponent of growth, or approximated by dividing 70 by the percentage growth rate[1] (more roughly but roundly, dividing 72; see the rule of 72 for details and derivatiatives of this formula).
The doubling time is a characteristic unit (a natural unit of scale) for the exponential growth equation, and its converse for exponential decay is the half-life.
For example, given Canada’s net population growth of 0.9% in the year 2006, dividing 70 by 0.9 gives an approximate doubling time of 78 years. Thus if the growth rate remains constant, Canada’s population would double from its 2006 figure of 33 million to 66 million by 2084.”

So the information that our doubling time is improving means cases are slowing. Public Health gave you context in the bullet point to understand that the 25 cases are actually not that bad.
This is a useful post Kym but there is an important factor to consider with statistics – the conclusions depend entirely on the quality of the inputs. This means that you need a controlled set of testing data from week to week in order to know if anything meaningful has changed. Because we test arbitrarily week to week we do not have a controlled data set and therefore any statistical conclusion based upon that data set is essentially fictional.
Kind of reminds me of flu numbers, we know millions get infected and tens of thousands die in a 4 month period. Nobody knows the exact number because nobody really cares, but for some reason we care now . Why? because covid has killed twice as many in 4 months? Ridiculous, someone over reacted, been 8 months ,where is the 13 million deaths from this pandemic? Wasn’t 4 percent of America suppose to be dead by now? By the way, lock downs did nothing.
Yeah, we went from 44 to 46 over the weekend.
It’s not a literal case doubling in days.
Two hours ago that’s what I assumed.
Then I did my homework.
Call it distance learning.
Now I understand that its an odd formula they are using. Mmmmm.
It’s just that the literal version of case doubling rate was so much simpler to understand.
What’s funny is, if you go back 46 days on the dashboard graph, it’s pretty darn close to half. What’s funnier is how close I came to posting a hasty comment.
The formula that they are using is difficult to understand. The number is therefore relatively meaningless.
You pretty much just have to trust them.
That’s what I really don’t like about it.
I like understanding the game so I don’t get played.
Kym understood it wasn’t literal.
At least one step ahead of me again, as usual.🤔🤨 😑
You learn something new every day, on RHBB.
(You can use that if you want)
Took my mind off the fires, one close to Mom in law, one close to Daughter in law and grandkids, and we’ll, one getting closer to us.
Wish it would rain.
That’s it. I’m getting out the rain stick.
I hope it works.
Can we get an overlay of the seven-day trailing average over the new daily cases graph. This would show trends and be compatible with how the data is shown elsewhere in counties, states and countries.
One more time I’m gonna support RHBB and it’s factual reporting. Here’s the reason why California academics are so so stupid. Please read the entire article because studying only the pictures won’t help.
