20 New Cases Reported Today; Updated Youth and Adult Sports Guidance Takes Effect
Press release from Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
A total of 3,180 Humboldt County residents have tested positive for COVID-19 after 20 additional cases were reported today.
Updated Youth and Adult Sports Guidance Takes Effect Today
The California Department of Public Health has released updated guidance to allow youth and recreational adult sports to resume practice and competition in all tiers of the state’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” when certain conditions are met.
Beginning today, the state will allow competitions of high- and low-contact sports to resume regardless of indoor or outdoor setting if a county’s case rate is 14 or lower. Spectators are not allowed for any sport, but the state does allow age-appropriate supervision of youth sports by immediate family members. All school- and community-based teams and organizations are expected to follow the state’s guidance.
General guidance for all sports includes the following:
- All coaches and players are strongly encouraged to get tested for COVID-19 on a weekly basis.
- Players must wear face coverings when not actively participating in the sport.
- Coaches, support staff and observers must wear face coverings at all times.
- Drinks and other personal items or equipment should not be shared.
- Mixing between households prior to or after any practice or competition must follow the state’s gathering guidance.
- Capacity limits for indoor sports activities should follow Gyms and Fitness Centers, which is currently 10% under the Red tier.
- Indoor activities such as team dinners or film study sessions are prohibited.
- Out-of-state games and tournaments are not allowed.
- Hygiene and sanitation should be encouraged at all times.
- Physical distance during play should be implemented to the greatest extent possible.
When a county’s case rate is 7-14 per 100,000 residents, the state additionally requires all coaches and players age 13 and over in the high-contact sports of football, rugby and water polo to be tested weekly. When competing in these sports, testing should be performed with results made available within 24 hours of play. For a list of no-cost testing options, go to humboldtgov.org/COVIDTestRegistration.

The tests are bulllshit unless the amplification rate is between 25-30. At 35 plus you have a false positive rate of 45%. So Dr. Hoffman, what are the amplification rates of the labs you’re using? PCR 101 Doc.
SUE THE TESTING LABS FOR THE FALSE POSITIVES.
A FALSE POSITIVE CAN DRAMATICALLY AFFECT YOUR OPTIONS
You might be a little conservative there, Jack. 😉
“At Ct = 35, the value we used to report a positive result for PCR, <3% of cultures are positive."
I do believe that means 97% false-positives.
https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciaa1491/5912603
If you can’t Sue Pfizer, Sue the damn labs.
It’s like Dr Peter Breggin couldn’t get the APA to stop it’s neanderthal ECT, so he brought it to the attention of those who INSURE these doctors and practices, to make changes in how psychiatry defines liability.
Mr.Deep State Sandwich,
That is very interesting.
Not too many people probably know who Dr. Peter Breggin even is.
I just gained a whole new respect for you.
(Hence the Mr.)
You are mis-interpreting their results. _all_ of them were true positives – but, with the ones that needed Ct>=35 to get that positive, only 3% contained enough virus to be infectious. They were measuring the ability to transmit the virus, not whether the person themselves had the virus. This is relevant to determining when someone can stop isolating (as they over-word it, “contagiousness and therefore duration of eviction from contacts and discharge from specialized infectious disease wards”), and not relevant to determining case counts.
What does it matter if you have no standing for an injured party?
Experimental is experimental.
Off label use is off label use. .
Like slaves bickering over tools of our enslavement.
Feel free to take the vaccine at your own risk.
Just stop justifying why anyone else should think it a wise decision.
That has what, exactly, to do with what I said?
I think we’re saying the same thing Bushy. What an Ct of 35 is showing is dead viral particles. Naturally they aren’t infectious. Click on (figure 1) in the second paragraph and check out the numbers on the graph. This is where the 97% false-positives at Ct 35 comes from.
You’ll see at Ct 20 it’s fairly accurate.
Since most PCR’s are set at 40 (Ct), they are undoubtably not seeing a live virus and therefore a “positive” test is meaningless at best.
Fraudulent really.
” You almost never can culture a virus from a 37 threshold cycle, so if somebody comes in with 37, 38, even 36, you gotta say its dead nucleotides, period.” ~fauci
“Former Patients Testing Positive Aren’t Infectious”
https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200521/covid-19-patients-testing-positive-arent-infectious
It’s a positive result that accurately indicates a person has or very recently had covid. Where do dead virus particles come from? From having the virus, obviously. I do not see how you can claim this is a false positive. They have or very recently had covid, and it is correct to include them in case counts and such. They may have exposed others during their infectious period, and contact tracing needs to be initiated. How is any part of this result meaningless?
The only issue would be the minimum cycle count to declare that someone is safe to resume contact with others – which is what that study set out to determine.
Hard to wrap the noggin’ around? Me too honestly.
The PCR test cannot differentiate between viral particles. There isn’t some sign that says “I’m a covid particle!”. The test could easily pick up particles from the common cold or any other coronavirus or flu. As I understand it, it’s up to the techinician to attempt to determine if maybe that particle is what they think maybe it is. 🤔
(which brings us to CZBiohub owned by facebook but…)
It also cannot differenciate between infectious and non-infectious particles.
The more cycles that are run, the less the viral load. That makes a bit of sense right?
Here’s another study:
https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.32.2001483
“In case of virus detection, >35 cycles only detects signals which do not correlate with infectious virus as determined by isolation in cell culture [reviewed in 2]; if someone is tested by PCR as positive when a threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used (as is the case in most laboratories in Europe & the US), the probability that said person is actually infected is less than 3%, the probability that said result is a false positive is 97% [reviewed in 3]”
“The PCR test contains neither a unique positive control to evaluate its specificity for SARS-CoV-2 nor a negative control to exclude the presence of other coronaviruses.”
https://cormandrostenreview.com/report/. (peer reviewed)
A PCR test in general can not just accurately differentiate between different viruses, but between every variation and mutation of a given virus. It’s how we knew that we had a home-grown mutation that infected 16 people at a care home recently, for example.
Specific studies on this very subject have been done when developing tests, just to be sure it wasn’t an issue. For example, see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7345211/table/diagnostics-10-00434-t003/?report=objectonly (table 3 of
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7345211/ ) – not even a single cross-reaction was detected when subjecting 13 different tests to a wide variety of other pathogens, including multiple related coronaviruses, both common, like the common colds, and uncommon, like sars and mers.
Anyone who says this is either intentionally or unknowingly spreading false information. It has been debunked by fact-checking sites already. It disagrees with testing, real-world monitoring, studies, and established science. It’s simply false.
As to cycle counts and such, quoting someone else who mis-represents the same study in the same way does not make it any more correct.
If it’s detecting dead covid virus particles, it’s because the person was recently full of live covid virus particles. They may still have some. This is a positive result. That person should be included in positive case counts, contact tracing should be done to determine who needs to be notified that they were exposed, etc. It’s not a false positive.
Again, the only thing a high cycle count might indicate is that the person doesn’t need to isolate as long as someone with a higher virus load – and even then it would still require some isolation or a follow-up test, as if you look at 34 cycles on the graph on the site you pasted, there’s still a lot of first-week detections – that is, the low virus load is due to the person being in the incubation period, rather than detecting dead virus after recently recovering. And, I suspect this is skewed, with random testing being likely to show a greater percentage of incubation periods than they found, because a substantial portion of tests are done either when someone has symtoms (and thus is past the incubation period) or as follow-up to an exposure (and thus is already into the incubation period), thus reducing the number of incubation-period tests in the sample.
And, again, this is in no way a false positive.
Let the consumer decide. If they don’t have a strong immune system, then they can make a choice if they want to roll the dice.
“It’s how we knew that we had a home-grown mutation that infected 16 people at a care home recently, for example.”
Doesn’t work quite that way. New “variations” are “found” by genomic sequencing. Most of that is done using a virus “database” and cgi.
This from your second link (no idea what the first link is supposed to represent):
“Real Time RT-qPCR genetic tests are MEANT for the identification and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 in the material/specimens collected from patients with COVID-19 symptoms, by detecting RNA sequences unique for SARS-CoV-2. ” (emphasis mine)
We know what’s it’s “meant” to do but the problem is if the virus was never really isolated (by definition circa 2018) how are they even able to find something “unique”?
” Moreover, the false positive results can be related to the situation where the sample contains inhibitors of amplification, or an insufficient amount of virus molecules. …What is more, the influence of vaccines, antiviral drugs, antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, or immunosuppressive drugs has not been taken into consideration. Moreover, the set/kit does not exclude diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.”
That last sentence is important and related to what I previously stated. It can’t really differenciate (although it’s “meant to”).
Nowhere does it mention Ct. Now why is that? That IS the only thing holding up this house of cards. That’s the bloody dagger.
My linked-to, peer reviewed articles did. Have a reread when you get a chance.
I’m also not suggesting that rtPCR tests are wholly inaccurate. It’s all about the Ct. And that should be 25 or lower. Not 40.
“As to cycle counts and such, quoting someone else who mis-represents the same study in the same way does not make it any more correct.”
I gave three to be exact. Peer-reviewed. Just because you don’t understand what they are saying does not make them wrong.
I’ll throw in another for your viewing pleasure(this trial using the evidence from my first link, in Portugal):
The study concludes [2] , in free translation:
“At a cycle threshold (ct) of 25, about 70% of the samples remain positive in the cell culture (ie they were infected): in a ct of 30, 20% of the samples remained positive; in a ct of 35, 3% of the samples remained positive; and in a ct above 35, no sample remained positive (infectious) in the cell culture (see diagram).
This means that if a person has a positive PCR test at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher (as in most laboratories in the USA and Europe), the chances of a person being infected are less than 3%. The probability of a person receiving a false positive is 97% or higher ”.
iv. What follows from these studies is simple -the possible reliability of the PCR tests carried out depends, from the outset, on the threshold of amplification cycles that they contain, in such a way that, up to the limit of 25 cycles, the reliability of the test will be about 70%; if 30 cycles are carried out, the degree of reliability drops to 20%; if 35 cycles are reached, the degree of reliability will be 3%.”
“However, and more relevantly, there are no scientific data to suggest that low levels of viral RNA by RT-PCR equate to infection, unless the presence of infectious viral particles has been confirmed by laboratory culture methods .” (E.g “isolated”)
https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=pt&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dgsi.pt%2Fjtrl.nsf%2F33182fc732316039802565fa00497eec%2F79d6ba338dcbe5e28025861f003e7b30
The nuts and bolts are: This test is used at 40 Ct. Anything above 35 Ct is proven false-positive. Done deal, no?
(lets forget the other word salad neither of us understands 🤔)

Do you know how many virus particles you have on any given day in your body. Plenty. Doesn’t mean your sick or contagious. It’s science. Try reading.
Do you know that not all viruses are equivalent?
Good q.
It’s why the rtPCR was not meant for diagnostics.
🕯🌳That’s good to hear now they’ll start going up to the ball fields at Rohner and Newburg Parks.🖖🖖
Every tier is garbage. Some states, much more populated than Humboldt, are fully open without any restriction and have the same death rate. Lockdown doesn’t work. Florida has no masks, fully indoor gyms, church, schools and restaurants, all wide open, same death rate!
Stop all lockdown. It’s proven; Florida, much more populated, has less deaths and no covid restrictions. Wake up people!
California is a coward state. A nanny state. Connecticut had a much worse initial infection rate but they have had their schools open. No extra infections or death. There is a lot of hyped fear going around. Not saying there’s no virus, not saying it’s not a bad flu…just saying that maybe we let political agendas set the fear factor into overdrive? Many businesses ruined and an entire economy upended because we want everybody to always be super-safe. I’m sorry but this is getting… ridiculous.
I’ve been saying for a year now that 2 things can be true at the same time.
There is a virus, but not one to cause such excessive fear.
And as Eric Holder told us “never let a crisis go to waste”.
👍
Rahm Emanuel
That was Rahm Emmanuel who said that.
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” ― Rahm Emanuel
And it’s a paraphrasing of a Churchill quote.
I never thought Id say that other states like Texas,Oklahoma,Wyoming are freer than Ca., but here it is. The agenda here has become close minded,under the guise of being “progressive”. Its fearful,hateful and vicious. Ive gone to work this entire time,watched my grandchildren pine for friends and school and cry,bc yet again teachers,administrators, politicians dont give a damn. Its been a year,which was supposed to be 2 weeks. We have a vaccine thats 95 percent effective. There are ppl here who never want to open the country again. We are looking out of state at opportunities for us all to leave.
Some other non-lockdown states have death rates almost double. Why not mention them instead of pointing to florida, the one that doesn’t? Or maybe look to the states with restrictions stricter than california, with their far lower death rates? Focusing on only two outliers rather than averages or other metrics is not particularly honest. But, of course, you knew that.
California is relatively open. A bunch of people like you demanded it, so lots was re-opened, then our covid cases shot way up and we had to start locking things down again. But, our lockdowns are much, much looser than many other areas… you know, the ones with a lot fewer covid deaths. And they’re not enforced. People who choose to ignore them spread covid not just amongst themselves, but to innocent people they interact with. That we kept cases low, then re-opened more, then cases shot up, then we re-locked-down, then cases dropped, might suggest a pattern to you…
You can’t directly compare california and florida due to the very different ways our population is laid out. We have a lot more high-density housing, which greatly increases covid spread, while florida has more single-family housing. We also have a lot more multi-generational housing situations. California’s population is very densely packed into a few areas with huge expanses of low or non-populated areas between them.
But, you know, why let reality get in the way of intentionally presenting bullshit arguments.
So Humboldt not being densely population should be fully open ? Thats what your saying, this county is closest to being like Florida.
Technically Bushy, there is no such thing as “covid death rates” so the argument for or against those “rates” in other states is moot.
Unless my link above referring to 97% false positives is flawed.
See why?
See above. The link is not flawed, but your interpretation of it is.
See above.
The PCR’s were set almost universally at Ct 40 as advised by w.h.o.
With that in mind:
” You almost never can culture a virus from a 37 threshold cycle, so if somebody comes in with 37, 38, even 36, you gotta say its dead nucleotides, period.” ~fauci
So where’s the debate?

Off label use for Hydroxychloriquine is not good, off label use for puberty blockers is just fine.
Disgusting.
The vaccine is proven to drastically weaken immune systems. Vaccines are already said to have limited protection against the variants. Update shots are being developed for 2022 to take on variants. Officials state we should expect a covid shot every year. Are we okay having the military help inject us at mass vaccinations centers permanently?
When did ongoing 24/7 mass vaccination and regular mRNA inoculation become a way of life?
Without vaccine no flying, no large gatherings, potentially no job and likely tax penalties as well as revoked pension/denied social security. Enjoy.
Funny how some doctors still question the efficacy of vaccines, and even with liability protection, they demand more and more people relinquish their rights for something so experimental.
Nobody gets a “vaccination certificate” so when they ask you you just say “sure I’m vaccinated”. Then you fly and do whatever else you just said, Mr. Vaccination Nazi. For me- just getting pushed into it by know-it-alls who actually know nothing but just love following the scared herd makes me more suspicious of this “wonderful” vaccine every day. You do know you will need annual vaccinations, right? Because the covid strains keep mutating…just like regular flu
I absolutely have a card with medical professionals certifying that I’ve received my first shot and they told me to bring it with me for my scheduled 2nd shot next week so they can fill in the 2nd shot certification. Snap a photo of the vaccination card and I’ve got my vaccination passport – cleared to fly, work, and visit public places.
Please provide a reliable citation that this or any other vaccine weakens immune systems.
The vaccine appears to be effective against many variants.
Do you think yearly flu shots are a conspiracy plot?
Two Words BT.
Liability Protection.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html
Now explain to me why everyone else in the free world, has a legal liability for their products and services.
You can’t honestly justify blind obedience to that pesky fact.
You’ve spammed those two words at least twenty times now, under multiple account names, and still haven’t contributed anything.
Ok brian
No. This is my only handle BT.
It’s not spam, it’s the truth.
We have no recourse for injury or death from the Covid Vaccine.
Yet you defend the lack of thorough and rigorous testing.
What is your goal here?
He probably ran into it on one of his far right extremist websites and bingo, a new talking point.
At least it’s accepted that most of these comments are one person now. I don’t know the mindset that needs to fall back on juvenile sock puppet commenting to get their opinion heard but I’m sure a good psychologist has an answer. Weirdest thing is how obvious it is every time yet they keep doing it.
“Conspiracy plot”.
Well…lemme have at it. Yes.
Turn off the “news” and think for a second (take off mask for O2):
It could be said that the w.h.o, bmgf, the large pharma companies and others have “conspired” to make one hell of a huge profit, as well as other more nefarious pursuits. And since davos and other tricky little get-togethers are basically big planning parties, a “plot”. Yes indeed.
The word is overused by msm of course to “debunk” but it is perfectly, soundly usable.
Liability protection.
That is all you need to know.
Argue with these people all day long on deaths, adverse reactions, on and on and on, except for the blaring fact that
NO ONE IS ACTUALLY ACCOUNTABLE.
I truly think that everything else is irrelevant, if you think arguing about anything with the covidians is helping them, ….just let them mutate and degenerate.
After all the wall street crowd calls the general public, dumb money.

It’s pretty hilarious, huh?
It is hilarious. It’s like someone with multiple personalities.
Wonder what’s actually in a vaccine? (assuming they aren’t lying)

I like all the MSG. More than a Chinese buffet.
I can’t imagine even eating this swag yet many of y’all shoot it.
Of course the top-secret covid vaccines aren’t listed. They can, in part, be found here:
https://www.vaccinesafety.edu/components-Excipients.htm. (safety!)
Funny that people assume if damage from vaccines doesn’t show up in a week there won’t be any.
Or that if this one is safe the next 5 will be too.
What if damage takes 10 years to show up in your children as immunity destruction?
