28 Additional Cases Reported Today, January 26

Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

Covid purple Tier

A total of 2,652 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19, after 28 new cases were reported today.

Humboldt County Public Health contact investigation teams are tracking 194 chains of transmission and several small outbreaks throughout the county, largely related to indoor gatherings. Local health officials say that cases have been reported in various settings, including workplaces and places of worship. Indoor gatherings are strongly discouraged by the state, and county residents are urged to follow all COVID-19 safety measures until vaccine supply allows for communitywide distribution.

Public Health continues to vaccinate Phase 1A health care workers, with 320 appointments scheduled today and tomorrow. Many of those receiving vaccines are In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and other caregivers who provide direct support to seniors and dependent adults. On Monday, more than 500 emergency services personnel were invited to schedule an appointment as part of Phase 1B Tier 1. While vaccinations for health care workers are ongoing, Public Health and local health care providers will expand appointments to other groups in Phase 1B Tier 1, including educators, as doses become available.

All county residents who want to receive the COVID-19 vaccine can submit their contact information through an online interest form and be notified when an appointment is available for their priority group. A total of 9,150 county residents have submitted the form since its launch. Go to humboldtgov.org/InterestForm to complete the form.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) today announced that Humboldt County remains in the “Purple” or widespread tier under the “Blueprint for a Safer Economy,” with an adjusted case rate of 24.3 and a positivity rate of 6.8%.

CDPH also is expected to announce a new plan for COVID-19 vaccine distribution statewide. More information on local impacts will be released as soon it becomes available.

Since there is such active contact tracing can anyone answer how many covid cases have been spread from the schools that have been open through the start of this school year? Staff to staff, student to staff or vice versa and anyone who contracts covid at school who has passed it to someone outside of the school. I’m asking because I wonder why my kids can’t be in school?

I know FUHS had two cases, but didn’t originate at the high school. Pretty good question since FUHS has been in the classroom since August of 2019 with 2 cases. Good job FUHS!

look around most people don’t care about the virus. Every where you go you can see what the population has chosen in case you haven’t noticed. Parties are being thrown privately all over the place. Hand shakes like there is no virus. Viruses help cleanse the body. They are good for you. 50 percent of our DNA has been altered by viruses. How does what you say make sense? How is this cure of destroying our economy and the lives of millions of Americans better than a flu that kills less than one percent that are mainly immune compromised or elderly? Not having people being able to gather is causing more harm than the virus sorry to inform you. If you are afraid YOU don’t go out we will be getting exposed and naturally vaccinated for you when it’s safe we will let you know. I’ll even bring you food Geist. See you when it’s over stay safe ✌

You heard it here first, folks! Covid isn’t a virus, its a vitamin! Vitamin C 2!

1% of the American population is 3.3 million dead Americans. There is no scenario where 3 million dead Americans is less expensive to deal with than a partial lockdown, and masking is no more expensive or invasive than making people wear pants and underwear in public.

The percentage of endogenous viral DNA in our genome is more like 5-8% btw…

3.3 mill dead well I wonder how many people them were already going to die. Deaths from the common flu are almost nothing compared to what used to be. And every other age related death guess why because of covid. You have a cough and crash you died of covid! You actually can’t die of anything else only covid now. Get the picture?? And yes getting sick is good for you. It helps your immune system become stronger. Use it or lose it your bodies natural tendency.

3.3….hmm. I’m not seeing the deaths from all-causes increasing much at all. According to the cdc anyway.

Then there is still that elephant…….

Masking is your choice. Do it if you feel the need.

Easy killer.

Ok, now 3.1 million Americans have died of “all causes” in 2020.

So it’s up from 2.9?

Let’s call it a 300k difference between 2019 and 2020.

You are suggesting that those are all a result of a virus? False-positive tests aside, it’s a forest/trees thing here.

If the % of homocides is up in all major cities, that wouldn’t account for some?

What age-group were a good portion of those deaths? Nursing home age?

Are suicides up? Drug overdoses? Alcohol-related deaths?

Too many variables. Is the culprit the virus? Or the ridiculous reaction to it?

I’m with the latter. But no doubt, it could all be considered “covid-related”.

335,585 died with Covid in the US in 2020.

324,758 deaths were pneumonia related.

Suicides, homicides or drug overdoses would have had to increased tenfold to explain away the increase in total deaths.

I actually did get just get sick for the first time since I got covid in 2019 Nov. But I think it was sun poisoning from being in the sun in Costavida Rica. Beaches are packed with International babes in thongs. Bars and restaurants packed. The food is amazing. Surfing running ever day. No one wearing mask. When we take away people abilities to exercise socialize live a normal life for long periods it devastates the immune system. Sitting on Facebook all day with Noone to talk to in person is such a bummer. Arguing all day like you are doing charities work lmao!! You guys must be smoking really good weed. Keep up the good work. 👍don’t worry I’m getting a antibodies test and double testing before and after plane. Don’t wanna offend anyone. But hey its ok to travel in the US all day just like everyone is doing 😝🖖🖖✌✌👋👋🙏🙏🫁🫀🧠👁🏄🏊🏋‍♂️🤸‍♂️🛌🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Hey. That’s not the real face of COVID in other countries. It’s not hot chicks in thongs… It’s elderly folks dying by the dozens in the makeshift ER rooms. How about in Brazil were they ran out of Oxygen and a bunch of people died quickly thereafter? That’s the real face of COVID.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/24/brazil-covid-coronavirus-deaths-cases-amazonas-state

In contrast.. countries with Universal health care and who are not COVID deniers, and took early actions are doing much better at managing their COVID cases and have significantly less deaths than neighboring larger and wealthier countries. Maybe you should go inland a bit from the beach and take a look at the real effect COVID is having on the population. I am pretty sure that the hospital ward isn’t on the beach..

Uruguay is winning against covid-19. This is how

We’re not seeing that Smallfry. Might be the heavy doses of sunshine(vit D) or positive attitudes. I don’t know.

Where we are, the last “covid-related death” happened in April. Two elderly people in the same family, both with serious diabetes. Some do wear masks but rarely on the beaches(which, thankfully, are busy).

The begging/hunger has skyrocketed but that’s to be expected I suppose.

Even though the numbers look pretty bad on paper, country-wise, the assumption is that the largest cities are the most affected.

The article you stated doesn’t actually address how all of our DNA is effected. It does give a good argument to as why being exposed to them is good for you. It’s like training. Training your immune system to be stronger. With little to no viral load we will have weakened immune systems. Covid won’t go away. Vaccine doesn’t even last a year!!!!!! Hello???? It’s not even 100 percent effective. Especially with the variants. Glad I got past level one covid. I’ll be better prepared for 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9….. and probably be incapable of spreading. Wait we don’t know that about naturally vaccinated or actual vaccinated!!!!! That right that was not included in the study!!!! Fauci and others have mentioned that covid probably won’t go away.it won’t stop. Chew on that. Good luck with less than yearly vaccinations.

Huge assumptions there Geist.

Suggesting it was created in a lab somehow makes it a bio-weapon? (delusional?)

Nor does the article suggest China as the source. (delusional 2.0)

It does however mention the good ole “land of the free”.

When you get a chance, read them. (or just attack the messenger….again)

You did get one thing close to correct: “Covid is harmless, it has a survival rate of 99%!”

It’s actually a bit higher. Like 99.5%.

“…theorizes it was most likely an accidental lab leak in Wuhan.” – The article you just posted.

The US’s current mortality rate is 1.7% according to John Hopkins and anyone else capable of calculating a percentage.

Let’s meet in the middle Geist.

US mortality rate is not the same thing as case fatality rate.

U.S. Population
(331,000,000)
X 1.7% = 5,627,000 dead.
Nope.

429,195 dead divided by
331,000,000 Americans =
.13% not 1.7%

You are exaggerating by 1,308%.

See what I did there?

I calculated a percentage.

I think you are referring to Case Fatality Rate…

429,195 dead divided by
25,598,061 confirmed cases = 1.7%

Big difference.

Sometimes more is required than simply calculating a percentage.

Terminology is also key.

And no, I don’t discount the severity of this virus.

It’s just, well, let’s keep it real.

I stand corrected. The first article does promote the Wuhan lab leak. The second one ties the “Wuhan leak” to who was possibly responsible.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology’s coronavirus research was in part funded by…? The researchers were from….?

And why was the research being done there? It was formerly done on u.s soil. Why no more?

Does Fort Detrick play a role?

What were they attempting to create?

These are questions that need to be asked. And preferably answered.

Actually you do include uninfected people in the mortality rate, Geist. Deaths in the population as a whole, or expressed also as the number of deaths per, say, each 100,000 of the population, in this case 131 deaths.

You can’t just rely on facts. I mean we are arguing over a low percentage death rate that clearly is skewed to what I think is called compounded effects of terminal illness or something. I bet I know more old people that care more about their grandchildren then themselves. They don’t seem any more worried about masking than young. We can’t even fully know how much these numbers are skewed one way or another. I’m not even saying that opening up is the best one either. Its more about the risk vs reward or if what we are doing is causing more damage than good with kids and everyone else that maybe is more predisposed mentally to isolation. The financial loss to people. That’s all we are really concerned about I think. Not just looking like the more righteous protecter of the innocent. I bet ypu haven’t fully isolated. Made risk calculations. Are you double masking bro?? Look I get that your intentions is to protect elders and more vulnerable. I think that’s good and I applaud that. I think that we need to be aware of the other issues of economical, mental and sociological effects this has. This can’t go long term. Eventually we have to let people get back to normal.

For one the fact that is expressed in the link you provided above, the mortality rate of 131 in 100,000.
Or .13%.
“The mortality rate refers to the portion of the population that dies of the pandemic.” (From the ‘ News Literacy Project’).

And the CFR (Case Fatality Rate) of 1.7% in your same link.
(429,195 deaths out of 25,598,061 cases.)

And the fact that you are confusing the two.
