Do you know what a strawman is? I doubt it. You no more know my wishes than I know yours. Don’t put words in my mouth you (self edit).

One new death. Condolences to his or her loved ones.

Best wishes to all who are sick or hurting.

One new hospitalization.

17 total known active cases in the county.

(Self edit) you Willie. Don’t put words in my mouth. Your comments here through the years demonstrate that reading comprehension is not one of your strengths. Speak for yourself. I will speak for myself.

Why don’t you focus on your love of home invading pieces of shit? Willie supports home invading robbers. Every time someone is robbed, Willie ‘gets his wish’. See how that works? (The difference is that you did express support for that POS, while I have never wished ill on anyone here. I grew out of wishing ill on others long ago.)

I wouldn’t even wish ill on an (self edit) like you.

What does “death related to the wu hu flu” mean???

DELLIB

It means, according to the CDC, if you die from an ailment and have tested positive for the wu hu. In other words, they say .06% only have died directly from the wu hu. So, 200,000 tested positive that have died, 12,000 was directly from the wu hu and not some OTHER medical condition.

How about public health report the preexisting comorbidities of the covid deaths and hospitalizations? Unhealthy people tend to get picked off first by any illness going around.

Yeah we know that. Doesn’t mean their life is less important! Doesn’t mean their contribution isn’t more important than yours! [edit]

May they rest in peace whoever they are, and may their families find some peace at this time.

That’s what happens when you start taking America back from the Global Capitalist….which he is doing…no career politician would ever dare stand up to the “ship our jobs to China” club. Trump is. USA out of NATO, and China out of USA. Trump 2020.

Order your favorite t-shirts in time for the holidays. U.S. out of North America. Make America Grate Again. Make America Grieve Again. And, if Putin’s on your Russian Christmas list (Jan. 6), : Make America Go Away.

I used to wonder what it must be like to watch your country implode over the evil influence of one personality. Now we are living it. And the Repubs are SO proud; bursting with joy. Their way or the whole shebang goes to ash heap of history. Their way IS the ash heap of history. Stand tall.

Thank you Humboldt Lady. Judging whether someone’s death is important enough to worry about has become a favorite topic around here. I guess some of us are expendable.

And yes, may they rest in peace.

Here is the deal researcher, either all of medical records are confidential or nothing is confidential. Cause of death needs to list all causes or nothing, pretty simple. All medical is either confidential or its transparent during tragic time. Otherwise impartial data will be continued to be torn apart

LR, I have no problem with disclosure and even suggested it be done in the early days. What I have a problem with is people trying to analyze the cause of death in a few isolated cases in an isolated area and try to and show that Covid is no big deal while at the same time marginalizing the suffering that is taking place. Does it really matter if someone is diabetic or obese or seriously ill fighting cancer. Covid removed their hope of surviving whatever they are going thru. And if Covid turns an ugly head in the days to come and starts to kill randomly like the SF did in the second wave, does that make those deaths more acceptable, more worthy of our concern.

Most of the underlying conditions that cause covid to become lethal are obesity, diabetic, old age and fighting a serious illness. Do we say that its a bummer obese, diabetic and old folks are dying cause they wouldn’t be dead otherwise but those folks with cancer (like me) are on their way out anyway so who cares. I’m fighting like hell to stay alive while frantically trying to finish projects in case I don’t, but if I caught covid you can kiss my ass goodbye and it would break my heart to think someone might say….’yeah, but he was gonna probably die anyway’.

That is data that needs to be shared, otherwise high risk people don’t have a clue and are jeopardizing their life everyday even though they mask and distance. Stupid not to make all medical records public, why are they confidential, I could careless if mine is public. Someone got something to hide? Because their embarrassed or might get treated differently, tough, make them public and stop the senseless dying. Give the high risk a fighting chance and quit keeping important information for all confidential. What a joke .

So let say I start an organization called covid deaths matter “CDM” and we want to realize that people who have passed or been affected by this virus are part of a marginalized community that has been systematically oppressed by producers of Processed foods and GMO’s and the sugar cartels and big tobacco and maybe their mother didn’t love them enough. If you don’t put a yard sign out or donate to the cause then you are part of the system that doesn’t believe that CDM and shame on you!

Will there be an honest debate about the difference between practical necessity and medical necessity in a highly charged and oppressive 2020 Pandenic environment ?

🕯🌳Sometimes the virus attacks underlying conditions that the elderly have and that’s why there being picked off by it,now there feel it’s mutating to even get around the masks. Plus the Swedish great experiment has failed now there about ready to join the rest of world and start locking down there country and implementing a mandatory mask law due to the high death and case rates in there country.

Here’s the latest from much-demonized Sweden.
“Cases” is a bit meaningless considering asymptomatic presentations and all the problems with testing and data collection.
But deaths are unarguable. Currently at zero.
