Mendocino County Moves to the ‘Yellow Tier’; Public Health Officers Warns Residents to Not Become ‘Complacent’
Mendocino County is now within the “Yellow Tier,” the least restrictive of California’s COVID-19 tier system called the Blueprint for a Safer Economy designed to reopen business safely while mitigating viral spread. Within the “Yellow Tier,” the virus’s spread in the community is considered “minimal” and “most indoor business operations are open with modifications.”
Mendocino County Public Health Officer Andy Coren said the county’s redesignation demonstrates, “The people of Mendocino County are working hard following the guidelines for living safer.”
Though Dr. Coren sees an opportunity to celebrate, he expressed concerns Mendocino County could see another viral outbreak as testing has dropped nearly 50% and vaccine appointments are left unfilled. He said, “This is not a time to be complacent. Residents must continue wearing our masks, handwashing, social distancing, and socializing outdoors.”
Mendocino County is the only county within the Emerald Triangle to be within the yellow tier. The state’s most recent data has Humboldt County experiencing a 3.1% 7-day positivity rate, Trinity County is experiencing a 1.3% positivity rate, while Mendocino County’s positivity rate stands at 1.2%. The positivity rate describes the percentage of all COVID-19 tests that are performed and the percent that are positive.
Trinity County’s could be redesignated into the Yellow Tier next week if COVID-19 numbers remain low for two consecutive weeks.
Recently published COVID-19 data from Mendocino County Public Health mirrors the State of California’s data but reflects the reality the county is not devoid of the virus. As of April 27, 2021, there are 26 known active COVID-19 cases in the county and one resident is hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
Mendocino County is one of four counties in California with low enough COVID-19 spread to qualify. The other counties are Lassen, Sierra, and Alpine County.
Four other counties could be joining Mendocino in the yellow tier next week if their numbers hold: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Marin, and Trinity.
Each county’s race to less restrictive tiers will prove moot in the coming month and a half after California State Governor Gavin Newsom announced that on June 15, 2021, California will move beyond the Blueprint for a Safe Economy given there are enough vaccines for 16 years and older to be vaccinated and hospitalization rates remain stable and low.
The State of California is utilizing three metrics to assign counties based on the tiered system: adjusted coronavirus rate, the positivity rate of COVID-19 testing, and the health -equity metric. Counties’ assignments change when their qualifying data sustains for two consecutive weeks.
With official redesignation imminent, here are some of the changes to COVID-19 guidance Mendocino County resident can expect within the “Yellow Tier”:
- Live Events and Performance Venues
- Venues of up to 1,500 people can have a max of 25% capacity or 300 people. Capacity can be 50% of all attendees show proof of a negative COVID-19 test or vaccination.
- Gyms and Fitness Centers
-
-
- The Yellow Tier allows 50% capacity and the reopening of saunas and steam rooms.
-
- Movie Theaters
-
-
- 50% capacity with no limit for a total number of moviegoers.
- Bars that Don’t Serve Food
- Allowed to open at 25% capacity indoors or 100 people total.
- Restaurant
- capacity remains at 50%.
-
- Places of Worship
-
- There is no change with redesignation into the “Yellow Tier” with the state recommending capacity be capped at 50% or less.
- Informal Social Gatherings
- For outdoor social gatherings, the “Yellow Tier” allows 100 to attend.

Don’t let up!!! Keep that fear factor going!!! Keep wearing those face dippers out in the fresh air and sunshine when jogging, biking, or alone in your car so people don’t forget that we are in the middle of a PLANDEMIC!!!

Dude it’s not anyone’s fault but your own that factual information scares you. Such a lame ass dodge of personal responsibility!! On the positive however, I’m pretty sure there’s counseling for that.
Like what Marie?
Enlighten us with npr?
Dumb ass
Recognizing you have a problem is the first step. Good job! Now you can work on it. What you are now does not have to be set in stone. Good luck!
Oregon and Washington have just shut down again. Thousands are still dying every day, and 300,000 cases A DAY in India.
And you spend your life yelling everyone is lying to you. You need some help serious.
How do you sleep.
Have a link, candyR?
Are you familiar as to what a “case” is these days?
In a given pre-2020 year almost 9 million people die in India(24,000 per day). Has anything really changed?
Or is this bs news just more “be afraid, get your shot”?

Yup, more reported covid cases and the businesses are reopening, lol. If this doesn’t prove all this is a democratic plandemic then there is no hope for this state. I never wore a mask and I never will and covid is 100% a hoax and being more and more exposed every day. Gruesome Newsom is on his way out and most of us are moving to other states to enjoy freedom and liberties. Commiefornia will just be left with the lefties and their druggies and welfare cases and no one will be able to afford the taxes and communist China will buy all the land. This is what happens when you let demoncrats run anything but carnival rides.
What a troll. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass as you leave the state, PLEASE
You believe in Santa?
Please, sell your property to the Chinese – we don’t mind.
China China China.
You’re hilarious.
Sell to chinese or China government? Those are two totally different things.
The non stop trolling makes RHBB so utterly petty and ridiculous.

Stan is either a bad troll or an incredibly sad human being. If you are real may I suggest talking to a friend? I mean it. We all get confused at times.
Yea let’s recall Newsom so we can put f*cking Bruce Jenner in his place, very well thought out.
Best burns ever- all rolled into one! Is this the Honeydew Bridge Troll? Acerbic, witty ….4 and a half stars****1/2!!!
Buh bye. ✌🏽
Not like you make this place any better, in fact we’re all better off without you
I always like reading your comments haven’t seen you on here in a while God bless bro
I came out of retirement and have been busy. Thank for the kind words. Hope all is well in your circle 👊🏽
wonderful ! keep up the great work and stay safe
50 percent capacity for vaccinated people or having a negative test? Hmm, it almost like the government doesn’t trust vaccines and tests? Stupid science deniers. I choose to believe that vaccines and testing work because I believe in science.
Yes science is god now duh .. science also kills.millions of people every year too… You know.. weapons and drugs and gmos etc etc
And a little thing called medical malpractice…
Right rye. The whole point of science is that it has to prove sonething, has to show something, it’s supposed to be something that can be questioned.
Mike: I think its more to cover the small amount of people with fake covid vaccine cards and fake negative result proof ..that would use them to get in events like these..Unfortunately they exist, and are getting more common..
That’s a good point. I do have my vaccine card. I wouldn’t call it a fake, I’d just call it undocumented. I wouldn’t use it to be around other people though, people suck.
I haven’t seen the numbers in Trinity change in a long time.
Why is that?
Too many trees?
Or not enough people scared into taking a bs “test”.
In other words, “here it is,” “we found a new virus” — false. Unsupportable. Fraudulent.
Equally fraudulent, the claim that the “genetic structure of the virus” has been sequenced—-because, if you don’t have a purified isolated specimen of the virus, you have no way (other than fabrication) to claim you understand its structure.
What are the implications?
The COVID PCR and antibody tests are designed to detect a virus that isn’t there.
The COVID case and death numbers—stemming from the virus—are meaningless.
The lockdowns, masks, distancing, the closure of businesses, the economic destruction—all based on stopping the virus—are unnecessary, meaningless, vastly criminal.
People who have been dying have been dying for various other reasons—but their deaths have been relabeled and repackaged as “caused by the virus.”
The vaccine is supposed to protect against…what? The virus that isn’t there.
People who say this monstrous mountain of fraud is too large to be a fraud—well, that’s not an authentic argument. It’s just an expression of preference for established authority; and a preference for a sense of stability created by a lie.
For the past year, I’ve been making the case that no one has proved SARS-CoV-2 exists. Mainstream researchers, in their published studies, have been SAYING they are proving it, but SAYING and PROVING are two very different approaches.
What makes Dr. Kaufman’s analysis so disruptive and accurate is: he took a detailed and typical passage from one of these studies, and he presented a step-by-step refutation of every significant laboratory procedure. He showed that every move the researchers made did NOT lead toward a legitimate conclusion that SARS-CoV-2 exists.
Indeed, Dr. Kaufman’s approach exposes the entire industry of virology. It torpedoes this pseudoscience.
The time-honored process for isolating (discovering) other viruses (e.g., HIV) comes under the same harsh spotlight: researchers say they’ve discovered a virus, but they haven’t come within miles of proving it.
Instead, all they have is the assertion that they are the authorities.
This is the same bald assertion the social-media industry uses to censor information that reveals SARS-CoV-2 has never been discovered.
I would summarize Dr. Kaufman’s analysis with this analogy: You have a large swamp next to a landfill on the edge of a city. The swamp contains a host of toxic chemicals, waste, and genetic material from a number of unknown sources. You observe small fish and insects in the swamp are dying. You decide, based on no evidence, that a virus must be in the swamp, and IT is killing the fish and insects. And THEN you claim that, THEREFORE, you have ISOLATED the virus and demonstrated that it is deadly. AND it is a new virus that no one has ever found before. AND you know the precise genetic structure of this virus.
In other words, you’ve shown the OPPOSITE of isolation. The soup in the swamp never delivers up any evidence of a virus. But you SAY it does.
And this is the basis for declaring a worldwide pandemic.
And no one is supposed to disagree.
And this is science.
And because you’re connected to every government in the world, and every major news source, and to the CDC and the WHO, and to untold numbers of law-enforcement entities, you try to shove this “science” down the throats of 7.8 billion people.
THIS is the gateway to the New Normal and the Great Reset. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the Brave New World will also shove its precepts and structure down the same throats.
And therefore, resistance on many levels—including opening up the economy every-which-way-possible—is necessary. And falls to us to make it happen.
Hmmmm…. Very interesting, very interesting indeed !!
Not really, it’s fucking nonsense. I do wonder what kinds of drugs induce this level of delusion though.
Perusing Covid deniers web sites all day and listening to right wing “news” sites.
Then coming here pretending they’re experts because they found some nonsense that fits their narrative .
I’m not saying what I believe either way.. but.. prove him wrong??
“Cite a source” is the new calling card on RHBB.
It sounds more intellectual than “shut your whore mouth” does.
I’m with you Rye.
If you’re gonna call bs, you might consider showing why.
Just being an msm shill isn’t really good enough.
First, Kaufman is a psychiatrist turned naturopath who refutes the idea that any virus causes any human disease. He is not trained in epidemiology, virology, or even disease management.
Second, he relies on Koch’s postulates (which predate modern DNA evidence) but then doesn’t accept the evidence published from numerous sources that refutes his suppositions because his beliefs are ultimately based on a leap of faith, not on scientific evidence. In fact he refutes the evidence that viruses cause polio, measles, HIV-AIDS, even the common cold.
Third, some of his other ideas are downright dangerous — for example he doesn’t believe appendicitis exists, he claims it’s just constipation and the only needed treatment is an enema. That’s really no different from people who think you can pray away disease without any needed treatments.
Ultimately the scientific evidence overwhelmingly refutes Kaufman’s opinions on the topic. I’d frankly be surprised if he still has a valid medical license given the nature of his claims.
https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid-rna-idUSL1N2LS27P
The anti vaxxers repeat constantly an old axiom from the 19th century that applies to bacteria and that was rewritten before Koch (the originator of the obsolete axiom) died . It can be explained to them time after time after time and, like a bad penny, just keeps recirculating. It’s nonsense, they know it’s nonsense but they latch because it sounds good to people who haven’t a clue.
This is a link to the ways a virus is purified in the real world – a world that anti vaxxers don’t occupy. https://www.news-medical.net/life-sciences/Virus-Purification-Methods.aspx
Dealing with anti vaxxer’s grasp of science is like grabbing a greased pig. To them modern science is magical and mysterious and not to be understood.
And then some people just don’t want to take vaccines bit still use science everyday.. where do they fit in your boxes?;
Indeed. Some folks don’t want one precisely because they understand science. For some the risks outweigh the benefits when they consider the severity of the threat.
It is tiring to continually see some folks try to tell others what to do with their bodies. If you want a vaccine, get it. Let others make their own choice.
It is reasonable to choose to avoid experimental pharmaceuticals. FFS, thalidomide was approved. So were a bunch of others that were later found to have unacceptable side effects.
Great comment!
I’m just going to cut and paste this for every comment that says we have no choice but to believe those with a historical precedent of abuse of power.
Nice post, stars.
IN the not to distant future people who marginalize one group because they don’t like their beliefs will recognize why 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler, 20 million by Stalin, and 60 million by Mao.
It’s human nature.
We just have to deal with the dark side of our reality.
This might just be Santa Claus Syndrome in adults
And what “group” are you seeing as marginalized? Being unable to recognize something that makes no sense (and it literally makes no sense) is not a group at all much less a targeted population.
It sucks being the only fact checker left.
Good luck cleaning up the comment section for free with an absent moderator who facilitates trolling like the Trinity river.
Do you think you can do this for another year?
Do you think you’re always talking to different people just because the handle is different?
Do you think rules against trolling should be involved, or do you like this thunderdome approach Kym has manifested?
So showing how someone’s ideas are bunk is a violation of human rights? Stop whining.
You must not understand the importance of learning from those who saw tyranny in a much better light.
Norm Pattis remarked that the Government does not have the right to make a public health exception to the freedom of belief in this country.

That is not what is going on here. First a person could validly say that getting a vaccination has a small risk to it and they simply refuse to take it. Or that they find the disease being vaccinated against an acceptable risk. That is a personal choice and other opinions might differ.
But Call me crazy (and other anti vaxxers campaigners) uses clearly inappropriate and misunderstood ideas to try to make others think the risk of vaccination is so big that everyone else has to rationally reject it. He repeats made up crap and demands people respect it as science. In other words, he does not just worry about a fire in a crowded theater and says so. He yells “Fire! Fire! Fire!” when he’s in a crowded theater to drive people out in a panic when there is no fire. Other people should stand up and yell “No! There is no fire.” when indeed there is no fire.
People can not “use science” if they can`t make sense out of it. And it is not a kindness to say they are making sense when they aren’t.
That’s a good summary.
How in history do millions of people die from difference of ideology?
I.think.you.fail.to.recognize the dark side of humanity.
“Clearly inappropriate and misunderstood”?
Sorry you misunderstand the dangers involved in an experimental jab created by eugenicists and manufactored by convicted criminals.
Also sorry you find the above FACTS inappropriate.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
(have you researched ADE yet?)
Guest, Your article on virus purification does not mention “ISOLATION” even once. This is another straw man trying to obfuscate the fact that “the virus” has never been ISOLATED.
It’s not science. It’s language. Purification is defined as removing all contaminates leaving only one thing behind. That one thing is then isolated.
LOL!
So what killed the 250,000 dead americans then? Are they not really dead?
Ice, The same things that have ALWAYS killed people, re-branded as covid.
Tell that to the people in India right now.
You might need to provide a source besides cnn.
I think total “covid-related deaths” are up to 200k now?
How many live in India?

Grover, Thank you for that exercise in common sense.
A lost art.
Keep em coming please.
Say Hi to JR!
It’s not common sense. It’s total ignorance, which is possibly very common indeed.
Your evidenced rebuttal is amazing. 🐏
I am a scientific expert and I approve this message.
Mr Grover Hunter you are 100% correct you couldn’t have said it any better you should be The voice for Mendocino county it’s no more wake up America it’s wake up mendo and humboldt county. Mainstream science is not about science they’re about depopulation just go look up Bill Gates and covid-19 vaccines Mr Grover Hunter you be careful they kill people like you that have the knowledge you do watch your back and don’t let them get you you keep speaking the truth Grover
Or Jon anyway……
Hold up
An entertainment venue demanding vaccination record is an i vasion of my privacy! I literally sign waivers at the doctor allowing them to share my data between hospitals. Ive never allowed and there is no need to allow corporations like Ticketmaster to know my medical history!
What’s mext, do they want my sperm count?
So testing is down 50%. No wonder California has the lowest infection rate. Been looking for this info and it hasn’t been readily available, lately. They use to post it in The Press Democrat, but recently stopped.
Even the most dedicated information addict eventually get tired of running around the same block. Maybe it is a good thing to stop reacting to the possibility of the virus getting out of control and wait until starts to.
@ Kym,
Am I experiencing comment glitches or moderation?
My comments are not sticking or showing.
* This one did, however two different replies are not showing still. The difference is that this is not a “reply”.
You’re not the only person to have been in moderation here, but your whiny self-centered rants about it and demands that you should be the de facto policy setter on this site set you apart in a bad way.
I am and have been off moderation.
Kym knows there have been weird glitches in the comments.
Comments are being withheld automatically at times even if there are no links to approve.
I was not sure if a few of my comments were thrown into this newer glitch that Kym has experienced, or if I had been put back into moderation.
It’s the small things you you don’t know.
As far as what else your trying to say, good luck with it next time.
🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
Wake up,
“Are the all really Brian”.
Obviously you have consideration only for yourselves.
She is not your babysitter.
One thing I have learned, and obviously you haven’t, is that when there seems to be a lull in the commotion that is RHBB, something serious is going on in Kym’s life, and it is taking precedence.
If you had been paying attention, instead of demanding it with all of your
selfish tantrums, maybe you could have deduced it, too.
I notice when things slow down on the site, that’s when I start praying for her and her family.
It has been days.
That’s a first.
I’m very worried.
Something very serious must me distracting her from her lesser duties.
Cut her some slack, Brians.
All of you.
Have a little consideration for others.
If you even understand what that means.
I’ll be wishing her Godspeed today,
and for as much strength as she may need to get her and her family through whatever they must be going through.
Grow up.
Even in a busy kitchen the chef needs to know if a plate went out wrong.
TRB has his (or her) obsessions about trolls and it is a PITA. So do a number of others have their agendas, including me. We all could use a reminder that it is not all about ourselves and to avoid personal attacks. I didn’t expect better from the other Guest but I did from you.
I would add that at this point, you are also using “trolling” in your language to describe some commenting.
This group of people, however small or big, is relentless in their “plandemic-communist-plot-CCP-Biden-Fauci-Gates-Vaccine-5g-tracking-DNA-altering-PCR-is-fake-mRNA-experiment-is-Democrat-agenda21” rhetoric.
They mouth off 30+ comments a day spreading misinformation purposefully and without check.
Sure you do your part, and kudos for that.
But there isn’t much to talk about here. I cant even ask Kym if there is a problem without the same old attack from the same old commentor with (can you believe it) another new name.
Or, I guess I could assume it’s a new commentor with some incredibly magical 8ball of backstory regarding my comments.🤔
He supposedly lives in Weaverville. Where? I’d put my money on “democrat gulch.”
She’s on jury duty.
I got a feeling it’s more than just jury duty that she is dealing with, or I wouldn’t have risen to her defense.
Count your blessings today folks, and hug your families.
That Guest didn’t expect better from whom I assume was me, I’m
O.K. with that.
Unless I am mistaken that maybe Kym is also facing a trial that has nothing to do with her jury duty,
(when it rains, it sometimes pours),
I figured I would try and distract TRB, in order to give her a little more breathing room.
Based on my hunch, I found TRB’s comment a bit insensitive.
Normally, I think it’s best to just ignore them.
But again, based on a hunch, I was praying for her last night, because I think she might be a bit overwhelmed.
So this morning, I noticed TRB vigorously rattling his cage, needing attention.
I figured I’d throw him a bone.
I see now it was an error.
He instantly multiplied.
No more bones for TRB from me.
Only crickets.
🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗
Ok, now you have me worried. I hope she’s ok and it’s just jury duty.
I’m in the perpetual moderation mode with her, I don’t mind, it’s her site…Mg comments show up at some point….or not..
I’m finding it interesting you can pretty much tell who’s in moderation by who’s posts haven’t been here.
Be Careful criticizing TRB a tiny slight of his posts got me moderated.
Hope all’s well with Kym, she said she was in jury duty and has a life to run as well.
This post might show up briefly.
A family member committed suicide and I’ve have been dealing with that. I’m now trying to catch up.
🙁
I am so sorry, Kym,
that is so much worse than I thought.
I was trying to cover your back, but I had no idea what had happened.
But, I know it’s not like you to leave your post.
If it seems like my comment at 12:01 is a little out of order, it’s because it takes me forever from when I start.
I began it before your explanation at 11:42 and didn’t see it until after I posted it at 12:01.
Please forgive me for jumping into the ring uninvited to defend you, I am a lousy fighter, but I just don’t see how anyone could have not noticed something was terribly wrong.
My sincerest condolences to you and your family, and my utmost respect to you all.
Hugs for the kind words and no worries.
Sorry to hear that…
Prayers and good vibes being sent your way
❤️
Damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Be well.
Kym – Love to you and all who are suffering from the loss of your loved one.
Kym, my condolences.
Please take all the time you need.
Plus some for yourself.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear, momma bear. Sympathies and condolences for you and your family. ♥️✌️🤙
