Sorry this has nothing to do with covid. Taking the weekend off. I just had to let peeps know what I just saw. Just watching the new Tremors (which is really good considering its sequel #8) and got hit with these lines. I knew this would happen with that fuckin documentary.
Girl getting ready to do something
Gummer says “Thats dangerous work”
Girl says “I was born on a weed plantation in Alder Point CA”
Gummer says “ Murder Mountain”
Girl says, “Had a rifle in my hands and a knife on my hip since I was 7. Im not some tree huggin vegan chick. I eat what I kill. And Ive killed some serious shit.”
Gummer says “Knows her shit” and smiles.
Wouldn’t care except that is the main impression people in other parts of the country now have of our area. Sure shit happens, but its a minute happening when compared to all else that goes on in our beautiful home Emerald Triangle. This is the same kind of shit they did to us in the 60s and 70s, make hippies and the counter culture look like totally deranged psychopaths or spaced out fruitcakes. They are making her look cool so a tree huggin vegan chick looks like an idiot. Fuck em. Im sick of it.
You should really ask to speak with the manager. That is not ok. It’s somethingist.
Yeah, I’m sure jersey shore is a accurate depiction of everyone from Jersey. When I was in Alaska I made a point to ask almost everyone I met if they were in the Alaskan Bush People show, they unsurprisingly have no sense of humor about it. I’m surprised I never got beat up.
They wear waders all the time, though, like on National Geographic?
The Deadliest Catch was/is? much better. I watched the first season, because I knew a couple of the people. A friend’s boat sank and almost everyone died, including my friend. The show handled that very well I do have to say. Though I didn’t watch too much really. Been there, done that, got the hoodies kind of thing.
Then TDC went more for the soap opera (DRAMA!!!) aspect to my mind. Which, no doubt, is real, too. The old joke is “What is the definition of the speed of light? The time it takes gossip to travel from Dutch Harbor to Newport (Oregon)”.
The same folks also did a season for the Oregon Coast, and while Dungeness fishing is even more dangerous than king crabbing, they wanted the rivalry aspect to be the focus, more than it actually exists, which was too bad, because it was filmed very well. My husband flat turned down the producers when they were looking for boats to participate, but I know all the people on that show.
I do worry for the folks in the Aleutians, Humboldt is isolated (lucky you), but nothing like the little villages out there. If Covid hit hard there, it would be very bad.
🕯🌳Poor Burt dies at the end but I think I heard that they find a way to resurrect him one mere time. Damn Netflix’s.
One thing for sure, I never try to argue political theory with a Hippie.
I too feel that we live in a bubble, and as long as we don’t venture out, the rest of the world can’t really affect us.
Recent story I liked:
https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/10/23/can-a-coronavirus-antibody-knock-out-moderna/
I wish now that I knew how to “invest the epidemic” back in March… Would have bought back that Quest Diagnostics stock, dumped the UBER I bought, and, bet big for Trump to lose…
Don’t worry, everyone knows that Humboldt is full of murdering horse-thieves, and that Humboldt is thick with rascals, drug dealing whack-jobs, and psychotic speed-freaks and junkies… Other than that, it’s a good place to hide out, during a global pandemic, or any other time!
One case, very terrifying.
I’m curious, do you read any of the national news?
Because we just hit a new record high number of new cases ~84,000 and something like 40,000 hospitalized currently from this nothing-burger of a virus. Oh yeah, and over 1000 deaths for the day.
We’ve been lucky and if we continue to mask and social distance and skip all the indoor socializing, we can probably keep the infection level pretty low.
If we decide (or enough of us) to blow it all off and skip the masks and distancing, we too can join the pandemic parade of hospitals that are running out of ICU beds and basic drugs needed to treat the illness. Which means all the progress they’ve made on reducing mortality from the virus will start going the other way.
And then we’ll be well and truly fucked ‘cuz we won’t be on the priority list for any kind of help when bigger cities are crying out for health care supplies and professionals.
Be safe and use common sense to avoid spreading this (or any) virus.
You got me, I don’t watch the national news, it really never seemed very entertaining, judge judy is where its at.
Damn, since the national media has always been correct and honest in their reporting you’d better get super scared. Really, its unlikely that it’ll ever be safe to go back to natural human life.
We probably need to bathe in sterilizing fluids, cover our faces, and avoid human interaction indefinitely. You’re only safe inside your house, coated in isopropyl
“we too can join the pandemic parade of hospitals that are running out of ICU beds and basic drugs needed to treat the illness.”
Other than in your head and on CNN, where is this parade of hospitals running out of ICU beds and basic drugs?
yaaaawn

Yakitty-yak over the cases that keep increasing, is a waste of time. It’s backwards and quotes history while speculating (guessing) about the future. There’s very little useful data.
The death rate remains the viable count.
The portion of the fight against this virus that matters at all … is the non-survivors. Everybody else is gossiping or maybe developing antibodies.
If you’re alive, you want to catch and recover from this virus ASAP. Hiding in the basement merely delays the inevitable.
The logic is old on this covid-19, the sooner you catch it the younger you are. Nobody can refute that truth. The younger the stronger and better able to survive.
I’m a fan of avoiding feeling badly and even more I’m a fan of avoiding the hospital.
Then focus on your health and well being. Humans were not designed to sit all day every day .
Yoga, stretching, power walks , planks, pushups.
Maintaining Health is not a theory.
If we fail to act, we cannot hold other responsible for our negative behavior.
You know…it isn’t just about the death count.
A friend got it in the spring. He’s in his 50s, a commercial fisherman. And he still hasn’t recovered enough to fish his own boat and doesn’t know if he’ll be able to work the boat for crab season.
The lingering effects are in his heart, literally.
But all those are exactly what reporting has been going on since February. We’re “going to” run out of ICU beds. Well that is exactly why field hospitals were set up. Because pandemics, whether covid-19, flu or whatever, along with mass causality events do strain hospital resources, which hospitals try to not over expand for routine times due to economics. Hooray for us to have such things readied. Some people may need it on occasion. Most will not. Even New York City at its worst, for all the hysterical press putting every ugly hapening on the front page, hardly put anyone in a field hospital. https://www.npr.org/2020/05/07/851712311/u-s-field-hospitals-stand-down-most-without-treating-any-covid-19-patients
It would be wonderful if government really could wave a magic wand to eliminate such wild spreads of disease but they can’t. The magic wand waving takes out too many people as a side effect and, in the end, is worse than the disease. Or at least this disease- a disease like ebola causing causing a 50% to 90% death rate would have me wanting the government to wave its regulatory magic wand at airplane propeller speed. But not this pandemic. You don’t hunt a duck with an elephant gun- too much collateral damage. You don’t demand everyone toe the line where the most fearful put it just because some bad happens.
Most folks seem to act like what we’ve done is an overreaction for “only” 230,000 deaths without thinking how many more deaths and overrun hospitals there would be without the lockdowns, the masks, the social distancing, and the handwashing.
No. “Most” folk seem to be equally guilty of exaggeration in either direction. They indulge in arguing extreme examples. But all Rollin said was that the “parade of hospitals running out of ICU beds and basic drugs” was in the commenter’s head. Which seems pretty true as no where in the US has it happened (maybe Italy but news reports are always hyperbolic so it’s hard to know) even before the lockdowns, masking and social distancing orders. Hopefully most people were into hand washing even before the pandemic.
There’s always too much commenting on what people think others have said because they read their own ideas into it. But it would be better not to have them. After all all life “could” end on earth if a big enough asteroid hits it But that is not a useful point in a discussion of most things.
From the Pew Trust report:
“Wisconsin recently opened a 530-bed field hospital on state fairgrounds in Milwaukee that was set up in the early days of the pandemic but sat unused until now. Last week, 50 beds were readied for patients, and the staff was working on transfers with hospitals that were hitting their capacity limits. The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the state tripled in the last 30 days.
In Oklahoma City and the surrounding area, no ICU beds were available last week, according to the University of Oklahoma. The lack of beds required medical professionals in those already understaffed hospitals to spend hours on the phone arranging patient transfers to other Oklahoma hospitals.
Fewer than 20 ICU beds were available in the entire state of North Dakota, according to state data. That meant patients had to be transferred hundreds of miles, in some cases to South Dakota and Montana.”
I may have used an artistic phrase “…parade of hospitals..” but the point is valid based on numerous articles from a variety of sources.
Milwaukee admitted their first patient to a field hospital yesterday. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wisconsin-admits-1st-patient-field-hospital-reports-record/story?id=73759874
And maybe, not certainly, but maybe now would be the time to put strenuous restrictions in place in Wisconsin as it might be closer to an emergency. Not 7 months ago. Not before really good reason. There is no such thing as a prophylactic mass quarantine because, unless the virus can be isolated out of existence and kept out, it will just delay the emergency only to re-emerge when isolation can not be maintained any longer.. No modern society can stay isolated for a very long time. It’s the emergency brake for an emergency. Not for constant use that wears it out.
I’m not sure it works like that for a virus that’s this contagious. I read a piece yesterday from some of the scientists who study this particular virus and it was quite a read. Apparently by the time you begin to feel symptoms, the virus has already peaked, completed the cycle of replication, and is on the decline because it can apparently evade the common detectors of viral pathogens in our bodies.
By that point, the virus has spread and all that’s left is the damage done to various systems in the body that can vary widely. It’s a remarkable evolutionary strategy because it doesn’t matter to the virus if you die after it’s completed the replication phase. Most viruses, from an evolutionary view, don’t want to kill the host because that is the way it gets around.
Hospitalizations generally rise a week or so after the onset of symptoms for most patients. So by the time the hospitals get into crisis there’s already a 2 week backlog of potential patients even if you could enact a full blown quarantine instantly. Plus you’ll still have continued spread within a single household from just 1 infected person, symptomatic or not.
I believe the colloquial saying appropriate here is — it’s like shutting the barn door after the horses have escaped.
If we had consistent national leadership on the common sense tactics needed to reduce the infection rate, we probably wouldn’t be so exhausted. Instead we have a President who has continually pooh-poohed the science and the advice of experts and that’s led to a cavalcade of pandering by some Governors and his fan club to basically void the good intent by the majority of people who are trying to mask and distance.
How the virus works doesn’t change the problems created by stay at home orders. Indeed imposing isolation is always going to be too late to prevent illness spreading if it’s done on evidence of increased spread but the alternative of keeping regulations in place as a prevention just in case creates so much damage all by itself that it simply can not and will not be maintained for months on end. People just won’t live like that and the endless almost religious insistence that they do makes it worse. The worse possible idea is to constantly impose harsh restrictions then loosen them at the first sign of a reduction in disease because control is waning anyway. That creates an oscillating boom and bust environment for the virus where, in the end, it spreads widely after each release encourages people act with less caution but the damage to public good will and resources increases with each reimposition. It is better to have fewer restrictions even if it still allows the virus to so spread only slightly slower because it can be maintained. So people can adapt. Severe restricts should be used sparingly.
His opponents want to blame Trump for the spread of the virus but then they blame Trump for everything including their own awful, damaging behavior. As if Trump could make a bunch of whiny toddlers behavior he wanted to. Which he doesn’t want to anyway. If one, just one, national politician of note would refuse to play the part of an ineffective yapping dog, if they could consistently recognized the uselessness of the constant carpers as a guide to their actions, there certainly is a giant void they could fill. You want to be saved but also want to shoot down anything not perfectly agreeable. It’s not within your control to define a hero. No tolerance- no hero.
The choice is not between doing nothing and doing everything. It’s examining to make the best choices. Picking and choosing who gets to hide out and who gets to take the risks is always a bad choice. So lockdowns- never absolute anyway as people would starve- is a bad idea. Closing large gatherings such as concerts and sporting events is sensible. But telling people not to get within 6 feet of a friend is a choice best left to the individual as they are either going to or not as they want anyway. Same with closing a beauty salon. Most salons would be suffer a loss of business with individuals choosing not to risk exposure anyway but those who would ignore the risk will do it anyway. Like Pelosi. Let individuals figure out how to cope. The government should offer help or guidance but not many extra regulations. Publicize risks but not ruin a business arbitrarily. That is the shortest path to widespread ignoring of regulations out of sheer necessity.
I personally love the social distancing at check outs . No one running a cart into your back. Less unpleasantness from pushy people. Yet the business loses little in sales because people have to stand further apart. Yet the US Government can’t figure out how to keep producing coins because of social distancing. That’s a pretty good example of substituting regulation for thinking.
Prpbably would ha e been less death if we didnt do those things
Maybe but the liberal/Democrat view is that, if we would just be like New Zealand or Taiwan and impose strict isolation, we too could kept covid-19 from killing in our country. But they refuse to notice that they are responsive for that being impossible to do. Anywhere that has had success in keeping the virus at low levels has a strict immigration policy, a monoethnic culture, a controlled press (usually having useful libel laws), with distinct accepted racist attitudes that lead to a collaborative and cooperative public. We, on the other hand, have totally ineffective border control, a multicultural antagonistic people who call themselves the victim at any imposition of regulation and a really nasty free speech level protected by the Constitution. And Democrats certain did their best to carve out power by fostering such disunity even while decrying it. They just can’t resist the impulse to do it.

THE NUMBERS JUST DON’T ADD UP: Nearly 500,000 Went to Hospital in 2018-19 Flu Season But Today There Are Not Enough Hospital Beds for Coronavirus Patients?
Really, What is going on? The data just don’t add up.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – As coronavirus cases continue to increase across the United States, health officials and Democrat politicians seem to be using that statistic to fear monger and justify closure orders.

http://www.kusi.com
Dr. Atlas used Texas of an example saying, “90+% of ICU beds are occupied, but only 15% are COVID patients. 85% of the occupied beds are not COVID patients
Same shit different day.
“Really, What is going on? The data just don’t add up. The MSM and Democrats claim there are not enough hospital beds for the current 85,000 people identified with the coronavirus, many of whom will never even enter a hospital due to their relatively minor condition.”
It’s not 85,000. It was 85,000 NEW cases yesterday alone. And likely another 85,000 today. And tomorrow. Actually, with the trends it’ll probably be 90,000 today and 100,000 new cases tomorrow which would give you 275,000 cases just in 3 days. And it takes most folks longer than 3 days to get over it so the case numbers would keep building.
According to the CDC there were 441,644 confirmed cases in the last 7 days in the US.
Since your big on science, everyone knows that when an area becomes too high in population something comes along to address it. Just another life event, this planet can only maintain so many humans, you call us deniers, but some of us have accepted reality. I know its tough situation but sooner or later something is going to thin the population. That is how a stronger human is made. Peace out .
What you’re referring to is called “carrying capacity” and is part of the life cycle for any biological species.
I actually agree with you on this point although there are many who don’t. There’s about twice as many humans on the planet as it can sustain over the long run by some estimates. Although others say we can sustain 12 billion as long as we’re willing to sacrifice most or all of the remaining natural areas. I’d argue that those natural areas are essential to sustaining all life, not just human life though.
And as we get more crowded things like infectious diseases are going to become much more difficult to control. Doesn’t mean I particularly want to live through it (or not as the case may be) when there are reasonable methods available to limit the impact.
As far as making a stronger human though, that’s not an evolutionary given. The ability to live like a cockroach or a Norway rat might be an evolutionary benefit but probably not what you had in mind.
Scarier than a turkey thief in da hood!
The proper name for being targeted by nazi slow kill is “Havana syndrome”. I uncovered a government run child porn ring and have had Havana syndrome ever since. With implants and other stuff going on. So are a lot of homeless people around the lost coast area. Havana Syndrome. New word for being targeted by the nazi party.
Yeah we all know about Epstein.
I can name all people involved in my targeting. Including the landlord that robbed me. He is guilty the sherriff is covering up his crime. You will see the videos soon.
People think this redwood curtain really protects us from everything… even to the point of disconnecting us from the rest of the State and country and Desensitizing us to what’s really going on. Taking it for granted. Within our proximity might be “stable” but please do not discount or undermine what is happening outside our little North Coast bubble. Other area are still in the red and there is always potential for increase Spread in our Local communities.
There is not the “possibility” of spread. It is inevitable that there will be spread. It can not be stopped which is why they have always been the legendary fears of humanity.
The only thing that we have in our power is to choose the balance between no action and overreaction. Are we willing to turn the area into a social desert that will not support half of the human residents, maybe for decades, or are we willing to take some risk on ourselves for that not to happen? Are we really going to release 50% of the criminals who prey on everyone and will be most likely to do what they want even if it spreads disease on order to protect them and their keepers from illness? Because if it is demanded by the individual that everything that is possible be done to protect themselves, then the release of prisoners is in total accord with that level of self protection. The judge ordering it thinks he has the right to choose that for everyone.
One thing America has not done, especially with our bafoon lead representative Trump, is “overreact” to COVID-19.
By overreacting you must exclude self defeating histrionics. Because that is certainly the nature of the rats chewing away at the foundations of cooperation and rejoicing in it.
If your concern and complaint is histrionics, wouldn’t that make Trum the biggest rat of them all?
An interesting article on “Biden’s “Dark Winter” comment:
Quote
“Biden’s “Dark Winter” comment at the debate may have carried a deeper meaning:
Vote for me and avoid the darkness, vote for my opponent and we will unleash holy hell on you stupid people who thought you actually lived in a free country. How foolish of you to believe you actually have the power to elect the president of your choice. Either way, we win, you lose, because we control who you are allowed to elect and Donald Trump’s name has already been scratched off the list of approved candidates. Vote for him and enter the Dark Winter, where Trump-supporting resistors of our new globalist order, our Great Reset, meet their final demise.
Albeit, that’s reading a lot into one little two-word phrase used by the former vice president.
But is it? Maybe not if placed in the context of recent statements from other prominent Democrats.”

Donald Trump’s name is still very much available to vote for. And Biden said in full, “This is the same fellow who said, ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to end it this by the summer.’ We’re about to go into a dark winter.”
So maybe, I’ll try not too go to much out on a limb here, ‘dark winter’ means that idiot Trump keeps promising unicorns but having no plans to even provide the basics so consequently we’re facing what could be a bad upswing in COVID-19.”
I don’t know…call me crazy—a new conspiracy theory is hard not to grab hold of and amplify, but it’s possible that maybe Biden (like the vast majority of Americans) just doesn’t like Trump’s response to the coronavirus.
Or maybe it’s a reference to:

The reason we in Cali and especially Humboldt are not yet seeing the surge the rest of the US is seeing is because we haven’t gone indoors yet. Indian summer prevails and until it turns wet and cold we’ll still be mostly outside. In Europe and northern tier US the surges are happening big time as flu season cold has already set in.
I wasn’t a big fan of the seasonal concept for covid and this summers record cases in the hot hot south and southwest US kinda proved that point. But after what happened in South America this last 4 months it shows that even though not affected by hot weather like the flu, covid still loves the cold. SA had massive spikes that have all but faded (except Argentina) as the weather warms. Now the northern hemi is doing the same on the same time line except the northern version.
