13 New Cases Reported Today; Updates to Youth Sports Guidance Provided

Press release from Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

Red tier covid

Thirteen additional cases of COVID-19 were reported in Humboldt County today, bringing the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus to 3,419.

In related news, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on Wednesday updated an FAQ for Youth Sports Guidance to state “age-appropriate supervision should be limited to a single adult (or immediate family member older than the sport participant).”

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Ian Hoffman said the state released updated guidance for Youth and Recreational Sports on Feb. 19 and took nearly a month to provide this specific information on spectators. “In the absence of state guidance, we came up with a plan that would allow up to two adults to attend, with adherence to safety measures that include wearing a facial covering and distancing from non-household members,” he said. “We will continue to support common sense rules and regulations that are based in logic and what is best for Humboldt County.”

This afternoon CDPH updated its Youth Sports Guidance to clarify that sideline cheer is now allowed as a moderate-contact sport. The guidance states that sideline cheer is considered comparable to competitive cheer, and as such, should follow all requirements of other outdoor moderate-contact sports.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said the Sheriff’s Office is not here to dictate what age-appropriate supervision for youth sports looks like and will not be in attendance at these sporting events to monitor parents’ supervision of their youth athletes.

“Throughout this entire pandemic, the Sheriff’s Office has taken an educational approach to COVID-19 precautions, rather than an enforcement approach,” he said. “We feel that this approach continues to be successful in our county.”

Anyone attending youth sporting events is required to practice COVID-19 safety precautions, including maintaining social distancing, wearing a facial covering, avoiding mixing households and staying home if feeling sick.

What if parent is vaccinated and kid has pretty much zero chance of dying from COVID-19. Do we need one mask or do we still need to wear multiple masks?

Triple mask, this will never end because in 100 years from now there might be another covid outbreak, so we must be prepared for that. Next we are gonna take your guns, and this is for your own safety. Felchy fauci says even if vaccinated still triple mask, for theatrical purposes. Weak and frail Joe hidin’ is busy dividin’ … and president Harris is laughing like the joker, all the way to the bank. China and Russia are eating our lunch, while the cancel monsters are coming to get ya… Any questions?

I read somewhere (not handy) that Dr. Mikovits was tackled to the ground and removed from her flight for not wearing 2 masks.

I believe she only had 1. Lawsuit pending.

Must have been so harrassed for being a “quack”. 🙄

https://thefreethoughtproject.com/coroner-calls-for-audit-as-people-who-recovered-9-months-ago-counted-as-covid-deaths/

Chicago, IL — Monroe County Coroner Bob Hill is making waves in his home state of Illinois this week after he examined a portion of the list of possible COVID-19 deaths. What he found was utterly shocking and has led to calls for an audit of COVID-19 deaths in his state.

……Hill calls these numbers into question after reviewing many of the cases, finding that people who died from clearly non-COVID-19 issues are being counted as dying from COVID-19.

“My concern is, I’ve reviewed several cases, (of 100 cases) about ten of them here in Monroe County, that the state has deemed COVID-related deaths and none of them have had underlying conditions or contributing factors to COVID,” Hill said. “So my concern is no matter when the person was tested positive, the state is automatically giving them a death classification as related to COVID.”

One glaring case the coroner found during his review was a man who died from an accidental drug overdose. The man died in January from the overdose but tested positive three months prior in October for COVID-19. His death was recorded as a COVID-19 death, according to Hill.

When asked for a reason why Hill thinks these deaths are being counted so erroneously, he says we should probably follow the money.

This sketchy death count is not isolated to Illinois either. There are cases like this from coast to coast. One insanely glaring case comes from New York in which a man was shot 7 times by police.Ricardo Cardona, 55, was shot 7 times by New York police officers and died five days later in the hospital. His cause of death was not listed as gun shots, however. According to reports, he died of COVID-19 despite the seven bullet holes in his body. You cannot make this up.

Hmmmm, I think I’ll spend all day posting sketchy anti-vaxer articlesfrom sketchy sites on the internet under 20 different names and inferr that everyone else is fearful but me and wake up tomorrow and do it all over again in a Russian bot style blitz that most are tired of but I don’t care because Im obsessed with Covid and masks are scary, oh wait I’m not scared your scared and I’m a tough guy and nobody tells me what’s up because I have a plethora of places on the internet to back up anything I say, what, I decided you’re all sheeple and what I say , and all my sock puppets say is the truth in my mind, therefore it IS the truth and the rest of you are stupid.
I’ll be here today and tomorrow and the next and the next and the next and the next and the next because it’s my mission , my obsession that you hear my anti vaxer rhetoric over and over and over and I’ll repeat the same thing and ramble on and on like this because I’m not self aware that I look the fool for doing this but hell, someone’s got to tell the sheeple, they might forget every day like I do apparently, so did you know that I can find anti vaxer articles on the internet and that proves that I’m right, did you know that? No you didn’t know that so I’ll be back today and tomorrow and the next day, oh, did I say that already? No problem I’ll be back tomorrow to remind you, I’ll bring all my sock puppets with me, we’re a jolly bunch misinformation and paranoia. See ya!!

If you folks want to be taken seriously you’ve got to stop linking to sites that deal in conspiracy and propaganda. The freethoughtproject is a joke. For people who come off as skeptics of “fake news” your thirst for right wing gibberish seems insatiable . Stop chug a luging the koolaid and check a fact or two. Cant believe how many people take Trump’s big lie as true. Nobody stole anything but he managed to dumb down a lot of people.

Oh I wonder I wonder Dave what my great parents were thought of when they sounded the conspiracy bells in Germany In the 1930s.
All those precious lives who thought it couldn’t possibly happen to ^^^us^^^.

History is not on your side.

MaIn stream news is a corporate entity, nearly controlled opposition at this point, and you haven’t learned anything from the power of rich and infamous to work silently through back channels.

When you negate the human tendency for corruptability on a good day, and sheer evil on all the other days, you are looking at the why those who keep shouting from the rooftops.

Those who don’t learn from history. ….

6 million dead people might have been mislead before.

Now let’s see if you can look up Stanley Milgrams experiments, and figure out why humans can be useful idiots.

Care to make a more reasoned response now that anti vax and conspiracy sites are the last bastions for independent news?

I think one of the great ironies of the current infodemic being waged by the nutball right is the belief that any news source other than FOX et al is the dreaded “MSN”. This little nugget of stupidity started when the Trump declared that anything critical of him was “fake news.” A lot of folks bought this crap. The irony is it has been a tenet of the dopey left wing that the corporate owned networks are conservative stooges run by reactionaries.
The fact that both ends of the spectrum seem to feel suspicious about the media is a case for thinking they are doing a good job.

Is the Monroe County coroner, Bob Hill a conspiracy theorist?

You suggested “checking a fact or two”……….that’s rich! There are so many, how does one pick a fact check site to consult? I did a search for “fact check” and got 10 (out of 10) unique fact check sites on the first page……there must be some good money in fact checking

“Fact-checkers”

Who owns/finances them?

They are damage control.

Yeah, sure: if you are “bored as hell”, why are you still here commenting? Especially if you “don’t have time”?

Just ignore us boring peeps. Easy enough, no? (can’t, can you?)

Yes, I do make time to do research. I like to do it and I think I’m pretty good at it.

It’s ok if you don’t/aren’t.

Dave. I somewhat agree on being careful about sources. A good response though isn’t to provide a link to some “fact-check” site as proof a source is “debunked”.

Better would be to take the time to dig up details about the source you don’t approve of and post your results here.

Just saying it’s “conspiracy and propaganda”, therefore a “debunked” source, is worthless. It takes a little more than that.

What sources are you bringing to the table? Provide some and I’ll give you an example. It usually starts with who finances/controls them.

For example, google has quite an investment in astraZ. Would it then surprise anyone that their search engine will usually not provide very many hits that question the safety and efficacy of the shot? That they run multiple “fact-checkers” who say it’s perfectly safe? Elementary really.

So google= biased source. Who funds freethoughtproject? What are they invested in?

(nothing wrong with “conspiracy”. It’s as old as the hills)

🕯🌳You thinks cool because you say you provide a source but like you accuse others most of them are biased. I’ve always liked the phrase “It’s not the kill but the thrill of the chase.” The phrase can be be put to a lot of aspects in life one of them is research that’s my source I bring to the table. So quit your bitching and [edit] and do some proper research. 🖖🖖

Which fact check sites do you think are biased?
Its a little difficult interacting with people who think the whole world is a scam. I think the one thing Trump has done that most pisses me off is sowing the message that its all rigged….. You do remember that he predicted that “16” the election would be rigged when he thought he would lose. The man is toxic and he will end up being the albatross that drags down the Republican party. The senate losses in Georgia are a glimpse of what’s in store.

Hot coffee, excellent links, it’s truly getting crazy. It’s always easy to point the finger at trump, because he pulled the blanket on these cockroaches. My father always said “if you point your finger at me, there’s 3 fingers pointing back at you”. Instead of finger pointing, there needs to be problem solving… the world is sick and tired of questionable science, especially if we must follow the science on one thing (masking) but don’t follow the science on another (reopening schools) . To a logical person, this makes no sense. Another example is Nancy pelosi saying that walls are immoral, but then erects a wall around herself. People are getting wise to political hypocrisy.
