Two Deaths, 132 New Cases Since Friday; State Lifts ‘Regional Stay Home Order’

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

Covid purple Tier

Two Humboldt County residents have died with COVID-19, and 132 additional cases have been reported since Friday. Two previously reported cases were removed, so the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus is now 2,624.

One of the people who died was in their 70s and the other in their 90s. Humboldt County Public Health staff extended their condolences to the friends and family of these individuals.

The California Department of Public Health today announced that the “Regional Stay Home Order” will be lifted for the entire state, and all counties again will be required to follow COVID-19 safety measures as outlined by the “Blueprint for a Safer Economy.” The state’s “Limited Stay Home Order” has also ended.

The announcement has little impact locally because the “Regional Stay Home Order” was never applied to the Northern California region. Humboldt County remains in the “Purple” or widespread tier. For more information about the “Blueprint,” go to covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs.

This week, Public Health and other local approved vaccinators expect to receive a total of 1,875 COVID-19 vaccine doses—600 Moderna first doses, 300 Moderna second doses and 975 Pfizer first doses.

Public Health continues to schedule mass vaccination clinics for Phase 1A health care workers. Two of the three planned clinics this week will focus on health care workers who have not yet received their first dose, and the third will be for medical personnel who are ready for their second dose. Appointments for health care workers are invitation only.

Providers approved to administer vaccine will reach out directly to their patients who are over 75 as vaccine for that phase becomes available. Those who do not have a provider or whose doctor is not an approved vaccinator can fill out the newly launched online vaccine interest form to be notified when appointments are available for their priority group. To access the form, visit humboldtgov.org/InterestForm.

For the most recent COVID-19 information, visit cdc.gov or cdph.ca.gov. Local information is available at humboldtgov.org or during business hours by contacting [email protected] or calling 707-441-5000.

A lot of truth there. One of XIbiden’s wants is to require every gun owner to fill out a 13 page report on ourselves, with fingerprints, and on each gun we own, and pay a $200 “TAX” on our property we already own. Fuck XIbiden. “Fortunately”, our guns all burned up in the August complex fire, gosh. Which is what most people need to declare, the lose of our guns, we just don’t have them anymore. Sad. We would guess this govt over reach will increase the demand for ghost guns, a very common sense thing. XIbiden is not a king, he is a servant, an employee, and must be put in his place, as do all polititians. Call your representatives, let them know any such illegal activity will not be tolerated by them, and will be met with opposition. Resistance is not futile.

XIbiden took in $145 million in “dark” money, money that cannot be traced. This kind of shit needs to stop. Money must be limited, because they are then working for the donor, not the people. XIbiden never worked for the people anyway, especially minorities. Eric Swalloswell, was bought and paid for by Bang Fang the Chicom spy. He is an evil little punk. Also, what is the difference between saying “nice job idiots”, for those who voted for the XIbiden, and ” Joe Biden is not stupid, he has dementia, the people who voted for him are stupid”. ?

You think that an article in which “may be”, “unknown” and a list of people related to someone who was paid by the Trump organization for doing something else is proof of anything? That whole article reads like a gossip column in a tabloid. If you think so, do you equally think that the dark money that Biden promised to eliminate but that went into his campaign in massive amounts and was also used to push for Trump’s impeachment proves that Biden prove Biden is a tool for special interests ?
Like dark money from China as they have done in Australia and New Zealand? https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/07/dark-money-network-joe-biden-superpacs/ https://nypost.com/2021/01/26/biden-campaign-haul-helped-by-145m-in-dark-money-report/ https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/11/27/foreign-dark-money-joe-biden-222690

You are correct again master Guest. How about this? The Ute tribes in New Mexico are protesting XIbiden’s executive order stopping the XL pipe line. They say it is an assault on their way of life and their soverienty. Who would have thought Biden could be so racist, and mount an attack on indigenous people, especially our own, trying to destroy their economy, and their way of making a living, allowing them to be independent. Say it ain’t so Joe, say it ain’t so! I can see the likes of him going after corporate folks, who make our lives better, but our Native peoples? Bigotry has long been the cornerstone of the democratic party, and it is being made manifest here. This is only going to get better. And, like we have said, Trump, who helped ALL minorities, has a new headquarters in Florida. Maxine Waters is right, Trump is going to help primary thousands of communities, and regain power. 47!

But while socialists countries try to keep prices low in order to keep reality from creating massive opposition (and fail regularly leading to riots), it is Biden’s intent that prices do rise to “wean” America off petroleum use. Now you may think that is a good thing (or not depending on a lot of complex problems) , but is certain true that price rise is exactly what Biden wants. “In one particularly potent executive order, Biden ordered nearly all executive departments and agencies to review regulations and other actions introduced by former President Donald Trump. Biden wants to ensure all federal policies protect public health, promote environmental justice and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to the order.” https://trib.com/business/energy/what-could-bidens-executive-orders-mean-for-wyomings-energy-sector/article_28830871-616e-531f-8f41-cac7143a1fe7.html

Dude that’s seriously some of the most ass backward logic I’ve heard in a long time.

It would take much longer to vaccinate younger people simply because there are more of them than there are people over the age of 65,

we also don’t have that many vaccines on hand to do that in a timely manner meaning older folk will continue to get the virus and die as time goes on

Since I can’t find any statistics from the cdc from 2013-2018 concerning only pneumonia deaths, I’m wondering where your second source got their information.

Good. Your first link works fine.

Here is the problem with these numbers:

In the above [first] link they are called “pneumonia deaths”.

Over at the cdc page they are called “deaths involving pneumonia”. Emphasis on “involving”.

“Counts of deaths involving pneumonia (J12.0-J18.9) include pneumonia deaths that also involve COVID-19 and exclude pneumonia deaths involving influenza.”

So I die from cancer but with pneumonia? Way too vague.

That depends on the emotional response to “2 dead people”, doesn’t it? Typically here there are only two acceptable responses. First- “Two people died from Covid! We’re all going to die because of “right wing deniers”! Lock them up! Don’t let them spread their ugly, racist, fascist lies here!” Or second- “Two people died maybe from a virus but they were going to die anyway! There are no tests that prove anything! It’s just a tool for socialist government to take control of everything!”

When have the irrational and immoderate taken over everything and thus brought their own self fulfilling prophecies into inevitability? It’s like saying it’s too traumatic to make less than perfect choices and live with uncertainty so let’s always choose the worst ones in both directions all the time. Then those who are always certain it’s someone else’s fault are going to get just what they want- certain failure they can so they can keep angry all the time.

Good lord. There’s a world of difference in politicians speech between running for office and being in office. When running, predictions of doom serve to attack opponents. In incumbents, predictions of doom serve to damage the officeholder. Biden has inherited a pandemic hopefully soon to be vaccinated into submission. Biden’s just tempering expectations to avoid being blamed when his election meant that he now was expected to live up to his promises. His promises were not believable when he made them. In other words, Biden – gasp- lied when he made those promises he knew were impossible to keep but felt that such promises were useful in making his opponent look bad at the time.

That I suppose is a form of political reality that Trump couldn’t swallow. Trump either tried to fulfill promises or bluster his way out of his dilemma. He never adjusted well to the political technique of lowering the expectations of the public after promises. It’s one difference between a politician in office for decades and one just starting out. An experienced politician has learned how to avoid being held to account for their words. Too bad the public, through their mouthpieces the press, have never learned to accept reasonable goals rather than greedy ones then demand accounting if failed.

As usual Geist misses the point; imagine that. Florida has one of the highest, if not thee highest elderly populations in the country, hasn’t had lockdowns and has no state mask mandate and is doing better than California (Geist-crickets!). Are you going to acknowledge Newsollini’s hypocrisy, revising his stay-at-home order when cases are “so bad” or are you going to grasp at straws again and tell us how Florida has county mask mandates (lol-no one follows them) and that’s what saved them?

Newsollini is wrecking the economy unnecessarily to placate the clueless sheep that advocate the same stupidity that you do here, so smugly, on a daily basis. Try citing deaths next time instead of “probable coronavirus patients”.

This cdc report(week ending 12/29/2019 through 1/17/2021) shows Texas as #1, followed by California. Florida ranks #4. (lag not included)

However, there is also this:

Could it be that covid stats change as the virus waves wash in and out? ” In December, when California became the nation’s epicenter for the virus before numbers improved in the new year, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new stay-at-home order that was based on ICU capacity in each of five regions.” https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/01/26/covid-reopening-california-reveals-data-used-to-lift-stay-at-home-order/

You too,in typical liberal fashion, miss the point because you’re so desperate to win the argument rather than find the truth, you know that thing called journalism. The difference, assuming your chart is right, is negligible. Given the fact that FL. has the elderly population that it does and Floridians are partying like it’s 1999 (without masks), they should be leading the way by leaps and bounds; they’re not even in the top 20! You ignore that, like it’s irrelevant, to quibble over crumbs. And Newsollini’s hypocrisy doesn’t even enter your radar.

Kym, the word liberal could as easily be substituted for conservative in your statement “You too,in typical conservative fashion, miss the point because you’re so desperate to win the argument rather than find the truth.” Especially regarding newsies who should be expected to do better. “Since July” all by itself is pretty bad.

The reality is that Florida runs at 20% of the population being over age 65 while California runs at 14%. Average age, even median age, is not relevant to the issue since deaths for people over age 65 are well over 10 times likely to die than people under that age. So the higher percetage over age 65, the more deaths result. That is nature and shouldn’t be mistaken for government.

No, rollin’s comment did not “need” mocking. And probably the only “conservatives” you respect are those you personally know are better than average human beings. Otherwise you leap to dismiss, belittle and mock those people you see as having conservative views because they don’t think like you and so are obviously wrong, stupid or bigots. That is a whole load thinking from privilege. I might disagree with both liberal and conservative thinking (or rather knee jerk stereotypical thinking of any kind) but at least I try to understand what people are saying. And try look at the specifics before shooting off. There is always, if the desire or time doesn’t allow for spending time or effort on thinking it through, to not say anything.

Newsome’s French Laundry escapades are irrelevant. The point is why is he lifting the stay-at-home orders when cases are so bad IF lockdowns work?

An article showing some people ignoring lockdown orders in CA and some places mandating social distancing in FL is, in typical liberal fashion, a lame cop out. It’s like me saying Asians are short and you posting an article about Jeremy Lin, the 6’3 Asian basketball player. ON THE WHOLE Florida has been wide open and California shut down. And as guest pointed out, and you already know, median age is irrelevant so that link is also, in typical liberal fashion, a cop out. Old people die from covid. Florida has a lot more old people, is wide open, and people aren’t dying in droves compared to CA, not even close. THAT is the point.

So no, I haven’t “ignored that”. And yes, I sneer at the liberal community that wants to dictate people’s lives through force, via government. Then, when the evidence piles up in your faces, Newsollini, Cuomo, Lightfoot inexplicably want to reopen and Biden says “there’s nothing we can do about Covid’s trajectory”, you refuse to admit anything wrong with that picture. There is NO evidence that lockdowns do SHIT except destroy people’s lives. And it is liberals advocating lock downs while having the gall to call everyone else fascist.

The largest contributor to the campaign to recall Newsom is a religious non-profit that has no fucking business making political donations to anyone, led by a dude who is angry about Newsom instituting lockdowns at all.

Link doesn’t work. But even if it did, it would be an irrelevant digression. That quarantines exist is not in question but how they are applied. It’s one thing to quarantine a sick person, ship or whatever. It’s totally another thing to lockdown wide swathes of citizens inside borders indefinitely as a prophylactic. The Constitution is a document designed to keep that sort of power out of Federal hands. And, considering that it has proven impossible to manage to do in any country where borders are not already secure and the population has little legal rights, it is best that it not be attempted. In case you haven’t noticed, you live in a State that frustrates law in deporting masses people who illegally entered. The only people who would pay any attention to government posturing when such disregard for the law already abounds are those who already are taking laws seriously… You live in a place where actual convicted criminals are released lest having them in jail exposes them to disease. Do you really think that same government is going to haul people off to jail for not wearing a mask? Wanting the government to be arbitrary in the same way you are personally arbitrary is, well, too arbitrary to be done.

[edit] I said nothing about being in favor or opposed to a recall only that the recall effort is gaining momentum and that’s a fact. The Newsome administration has done a horrible job with the pandemic. Where are the vaccines? Where are the clinics to receive the shots? Why is the State withholding information from us because they don’t want to “confuse” us. Where is the published science behind his decisions? As far as recalls go or impeachment’s for that matter, cost means nothing. If a public servant is deemed by their constituents to need to be removed from office the cost of that removal should never be a deterrent to those practices.

Of course we could be Massachusetts, which is both richer and has a higher death rate than California.

You complain if Trump did or didn’t do the same thing. Trump’s actions sped the development of vaccines Then, as framed by the Constitution, it became up to the States to get them to people. Trump can’t reasonably be the Tyrant you demand and oppose simultaneously. Decide just who you demand tells you what to do.

Then we’re back to wanting Trump to save us from infected people crossing the border when there has been a deliberate campaign to frustrate any border control since before he was elected. Getting their way by sheltering even criminal undocumented foreigners, California led the way to being unable to do the same just because there is now a pandemic. The Democrat words calling Trump a xenophobe and racist and liar got exactly the result they demanded. If they don’t like the result now of their successful hate campaign , it’s just too bad. Can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Besides domestic travel bans between states are simply unconstitutional. Trump tried but as Cuomo announced “If we start walling off areas all across the country it would just be totally bizarre, counterproductive, anti-American, anti-social.”” There’s many layers of precedent about that from Article IV through the 14th Amendment to the Commerce Clause in the Civil Rights Act. The States can ennact certain restricts but not the Federal government.

Masks I’ll give you. He could have set an example even if it implied he was fearful but, if he had, no doubt his haters would have made political hay out of that too. Again, he didn’t have authority to mandate anything and I’m sure Fauci was madly telling him that any such attempt would result in massive shortages of PPE in hospitals. Because that is what Fauci was telling everyone at the time. Trump was not experienced enough at political games to be sure what was right so he went with his gut- no masks. He did try to get the material that even his most rabid opponents wanted masks, PPE and ventilators. That was a process he understood and was good with. Not that they cut him any slack for his efforts.

It’s not that Trump couldn’t have taken different tack. It’s just that to the Democrats with the liberal press, it was more important sabotage Trump than to be reasonable, just or even sensible. Cake and eating again. That political farce that was impeachment over Russian face saving fantasies went on at the same time shows that no one in Washington took the pandemic seriously at the time. Heck, I suppose that they only took it seriously when it looked like a good tool to pursue their vendetta.

Trump could have been better but then so could the Congress, the Press and assorted groups that would rather have sabotaged Trump than save their country.

Anyone would have gotten the same results producing the vaccine. It’s not like Trump was up all night in his white coat sweating it out in his lab. And if he had not lied to America about the severity of Covid, and what could be done to prevent it, we would need far fewer vaccines now. Trump’s response to the pandemic was an utter failure. Think he cares?

Really? It’s on tape: “You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump told Woodward on Feb. 7. “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu. … This is deadly stuff.”
While publicly he was calling it a hoax and saying over and over it would just ‘go away…like a miracle’.
The only miracle is that anyone listened to this pathological liar and that he wasn’t laughed back into the hole he crawled out of.

So publicly he told Woodard, a journalist, that covid-19 was deadly yet you allege that he simultaneously told the public “it was a hoax?” And the absolute impossibility of those two things being both true doesn’t make you pause? That maybe he never said the virus was a hoax but that politicians were using it to attack him and that was the hoax. Just like your post is deliberately distorting his words is a hoax?

Do you really think that drug manufacturers would not worry about paying for research and would risk creating a vaccine if the mountains of government regulations weren’t short circulated to fast track development and the government guaranteed payment? I suppose if your ideas of vaccine creation is from a 1950s Hollywood fairy tale you might think that is not necessary.

Nonsense. They didn’t “worry” when people were actually getting killed in Minneapolis, Portland, Indianapolis, etc. If when drug violence from other countries spilled into the US… Or when police are ambushed… Or when When deaths and rioting follow BLM protests, the fact checkers are all for pointing out that BLM can’t be blamed. But it’s just fine to blame away when it virtually no one they blame actually participated.

When they actually had to face the idea that violence might apply to them… Oh the outrage! You think that no one ever told them that political posturing excusing violence has a nasty habit of turning to bite the hand that feeds it. If Trump is charged, so many Democrats should be standing right in the dock with him.

14,000 people were arrested incident to the BLM protests. 19 people were killed incident to the BLM protests, in a movement of tens of millions. BLM has a lower homicide rate than the general population.

They also had legitimate grievances, unlike the Trump Coup insurrectionsists.

Been over and over that nonsense. That you keep repeating the same debunked ideas is so very conspiracy theory of you. You ignore the totally different standards that only lists direct physical violence in BLM protests (not related looting and destruction and certainly no “medical emergencies” at all) but lists deaths from “medical emergencies” , one police shooting an unarmed protestor, and one police death which has still not been explained as equivalent. Wanting to condemn the one while justifying the other for infintesimal less violence has lead to the equivalence existing only between your own ears.

And justification? You think that rioting over the race of a criminal under the influence of drugs killed is justified while not rioting over election fraud is not? That oversimplification of both is mind boggling.

No, we didn’t see it. What we saw was a very few protesters using fists to push through the Capitol Building entrance and some broken Windows out of crowd of many, many thousands. No buildings or police cars set on fire, no shooting except for police, not much vandalism, no statues pulled down, no attacks on people identified as congressional workers, no barricades erected. None of the usual that accompanies political protests from the left.

Agreed Trump lite a fuse but it was a very small one as vast majority of the people who thought he had a just complaint did almost nothing about it. To date even the press has not found any celebrities to headline violence speech such as Kathy Griffith, Robert De Niro, a laundry list of rappers and celebrities, encouraged by Pelosi and crew, advocating violence towards Trump and his supporters. Turns out that Clinton’s basket of deporables are more like a basket full of kittens- noisy, maybe angry but nowhere near as violent as those complaining about them.

If you watch Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, all they show is the part where the Trumpers are walking calmly through the Senate entrance room. They don’t show the red-faced, screaming-for-blood wingnuts who dragged a cop down the stars, pummeled him with bats, pipes and flagpoles, the crowds yelling “Hang Pence”, trying to hunt down sinful Democrats who were in the process of certifying an election that was unchallenged by 60 courts, a Republican packed Supreme Court, even Trump’s main toady, AG Barr. Kittens? More like a pack of rabid dogs. Bringing up what someone else did (DeNiro or whoever) doesn’t change any of that.

The whole reason the Trump protesters were able to push into the Capitol Bldg was that such previous Trump rallies had never lead to much violence and they were unprepared for what did happen. That you can manage such exaggerated rhetoric over that while excusing long running BLM related violence as an aberration of “mostly peaceful” demonstrations when clearly the exact opposite is true only shows why the they both came to be what they were. Sheer frustration over media monologues where one groups is castigated for much less cause than the media darlings.

The dems might pull a coup on her like they did with Bernie. I think we need to move on and try to just see each other points instead of attacking each other with condescending comments all the time. I tend to empathize with both sides. I tend to more on the right because I’ve seen how they have been attacked with no remorse repeatedly these last few years and I joined in. Eventually I realized I was not being polite and if I was actually in a room with that person we would be way nicer to each other. I also know alot of good people who supported Trump. Rubbing salt in the wounds isn’t helping. I know it goes both ways its just from my perspective. Communication on the internet just for some reason really brings the worst out in us. I think everyone has a mountain of facts to stand on and we need to acknowledge that.

I think better to speak to what someone has personally experienced, instead of a emotional reaction to a dog fight in the media. We are far more powerful when we can unite, and believe it or not, most people believe that a successful life revolves around being gainfully employed, or running a successful business, having solid relationships, and have experienced a community of people who have worked very hard against intrusion of the government corporate class.
Are we at the end of an Era for independent livelihoods, regardless of whether they contribute to the government boondoggle?

I am beginning to question the motive behind the slow corporate consolidation of our options.

People like Paul remind us that the ability to resist the government call to arms is a very powerful testament to the power of limited options.

It’s been reported that there were 181 vaccine-related deaths starting 12/20/2020 and ending 1/13/2021.

Many within a couple of days of their visit with the needle

Nearly 8,000 “adverse events”.

https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?TABLE=ON&GROUP1=AGE&EVENTS=ON&VAX%5B%5D=COVID19&DIED=Yes

And this for perspective:

“A 2011 report by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated that fewer than one percent of all vaccine adverse events are reported to the government.”

With 20,500,000 vaccines administered in the US that’s a mortality rate of 0.0008. If you look at the cocktail of drugs in most of these people’s systems, I don’t think you can blame the vaccine for all of these. In fact, many of these contain notes saying as much.

Worst case scenario, that would be a 0.008% mortality rate. Compare that to a low-ball mortality rate for covid, 1%.

1% of the US population is 3,310,000 dead. 0.008% of the US population is 26480. 0.0008% is 2648 people, or about one day worth of US covid deaths.

That’s WORST case scenario.

Interesting website for sure, although their logo looks like a flacid penis. The first death listed was someone with a laundry list of pre-existing conditions, including refusal to get dialysis. And all the people (mostly) are old. Not proof of anything, but the safety (or not) of the vaccine is something to keep an eye on. All the reports I’ve heard so far from people who actually got the vaccine are akin to ‘no big deal’. What are the long term effects? We’ll find out. To that extent, it is a grand experiment, and hopefully worth it.

“Looking good” is not a rejoinder that is viable here. Somehow the reasoning so often used here for demanding massive indiscriminate public health restrictions- that the age and health of the individual at risk is immaterial as a basis for objecting- has suddenly been totally reversed to push vaccinations despite the same issue. The fragility of the victim, if used to press for people unlikely to be sick to be restricted, why does the same consideration not apply to vaccinations.

Vaccines can be hard on a body. They are designed to get the body to respond in an inflammatory way. Hopefully just a better controlled way. For someone on the edge of surviving, it can be enough to push them over that edge. You may not think it is a point to be considered but in a game of statistics, considering the downside of vaccination versus the downside of no vaccination is everything. Ignoring it is just not an option.
