1 Death, 45 New Cases Reported Since Friday; Vaccine Clinic Planned Friday in Samoa

Humboldt COunty COVID-19 InformationPress release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

A Humboldt County resident has died with COVID-19, and 45 new cases of the virus have been reported since Friday. A total of 3,980 county residents have tested positive for the virus.

The person who died was in their 60s, marking the county’s 40th death related to COVID-19. Humboldt County Public Health and the Emergency Operations Center staff share their sympathies with all community members who have lost friends and loved ones to the virus.

One previously reported hospitalization of a person who tested positive for COVID-19 was determined to be unrelated to the virus and has been removed from the county’s count. Public Health is reporting one new hospitalization today for a cumulative total of 165.

Humboldt County Public Health will hold a Johnson & Johnson vaccination clinic on Friday, May 14, at the Samoa Women’s Club located at 115 Rideout Ave. in Samoa. Clinic hours are scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. This clinic is for county residents age 18 and older. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is strongly encouraged. Sign up in advance at myturn.ca.gov.

The daily and weekly datasets on the Humboldt County Data Dashboard have been updated. Some highlights include:

  • The county’s confirmed case rate remains lower than the state and nation at 2,910 per 100,000 residents. California’s rate is 9,249 per 100,000 and the nationwide rate is 9,915 per 100,000 residents.
  • The 80+ age group represents 2.5% of total cases, 26.5% of hospitalizations and 22.5% of deaths locally.
  • The 20-29 age group continues to represent the highest number of local cases at about 23%.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) recently released updated guidance for the use of facial coverings, public health recommendations for fully vaccinated individuals and a handout with information about reducing COVID-19 transmission at gatherings. Follow the links below to view the updates.

CDPH has also released fact sheets in multiple languages with basic information about the three vaccines currently authorized for emergency use. Follow the links below to learn more.

More than likely, majority of elderly in Humboldt have been vaccinated. Already heard of people vaccinated that have gotten sick, maybe from a different flu altogether. Not just covid flu preys on the elderly, what a thought.

I do like how they downplay the current outbreak. Humboldt county is now roughly 4 times the current state average of confirmed cases per 100k (13.5 vs. 3.5).

We’re almost 3% of the current new cases for the state while we’re about 0.3% of the population.

Go us!

We were behind by all measurable mathematics, I believe they thought vaccinations would close that gap. But it makes sense that being behind the state average we would catch up. I take it as a positive sign, mathematically that we are getting closer to herd immunity. I’m not going to go into the numbers because no one cares, just saying that it’s a ideal time to be catching up as far as seasons go.

Come on , Tim, at the moment, maybe,

You are looking at a snapshot in time.

Even with what you assert being true for this day, overall you are blowing it way out of proportion.

Look at the part of the report at the first bullet point.
It clearly states that we are still only at about 31% of the states confirmed case rate. Your focusing on a blip on the screen, making a mountain out of a mole hill. The rest of the states confirmed case rate is 318% higher overall , up to this point, than Humboldt’s. You’re crying wolf.

In L.A., Bell Bottoms were a 60’s thing, it took til the 70’s for them to get to Humboldt. Same with CoVid19, sort of.

The fact that we had a much lower case rate for so long undoubtedly drew many people to Humboldt, and many more are comingling in Humboldt now for other obvious reasons, and so yes, the case rate will climb.

We still have plenty of wiggle room.

There aren’t many places that did better than Humboldt.

Tell me another county that had a cumulative CoVid19 mortality rate since this began of only 29.85 out of 100,000.

Modoc?

Count your blessings and give yourself a pat on the back, Humboldt.

You, too, Tim, we all did good.

Of course that is not true in the real world. There are many diseases that were so feared that their name caused people to flee. Diphtheria used to cause headlines (remember the story of the hero dog Balto who lead a sled team to bring diphtheria antitoxin to an Alaskan town suffering an epidemic?) and I’ll bet most people in the US wouldn’t know what it is today. Vaccinations did that.

Also small pox- vaccinations did that too. Polio? Rubella? “Before the rubella vaccination program started in 1969, rubella was a common and widespread infection in the United States. During the last major rubella epidemic in the United States from 1964 to 1965, an estimated 12.5 million people got rubella, 11,000 pregnant women lost their babies, 2,100 newborns died, and 20,000 babies were born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Once the vaccine became widely used, the number of people infected with rubella in the United States dropped dramatically.”

https://www.cdc.gov/rubella/about/in-the-us.html

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-55495972

It is going to get more trickier from now on. Vaccinations don’t have to eliminate a virus to push back a pandemic . If enough people are resistant, then the spread slows to the point where it will likely fade away.

What I believe that was not the point. The point that a disease so unknown now could be headlines a hundred years. And you’re right about today’s vaccines being different. They are a lot safer and a whole lot less hard on the recipients than they were a hundred years ago. A lot of progress has been made.

I’ve been crunching, crunching, crunching the Covid19 numbers…

In a game I call, “What are the odds?”.

There are 2 versions.

“Hospital”, and, “Six Feet Under”, and

Both are Humboldt editions…

On the game board we will use…

(From the dashboard),

Garberville, with 45 cases,
Miranda, with 17 cases, 🤔,😁.
And Alderpoint, with 6 cases.

There are game cards…,
Chance cards…, & of course…, My fave,
DICE!!!…

We will use the “Six Feet Under” side of the board to start, “Hospital” will have to wait…

Don’t worry, it sounds worse than it is.

Let’s start with Miranda…

Who wants to go first?

Kym?

Oh, maybe I should rephrase that?

I will start…

Picking a game card…

It says,17 cases if you live in Miranda, out of 3980 cases. Ooh! Lucky one!

That’s only a 1 in 234 chance of being infected since this whole thing started.

.427%

Let’s see, 6’×12″ = 72″, .427% ×72″ =
.30744″, call it 5/16″, that’s .3125, so I’m “covered”. That does cover me, doesn’t it?🤔,😁.

And that’s as deep as it gets folks…😁.

See, no worries, mate.

Sweet… I’m doing good…

Nobody wants to play with me, so I get to go again.

( There are some advantages)

Pick another game card…

It says, 40 out of 3980 case fatality rate…

Let’s call that 1 in 100…

What!? No cheating? Fine!

1 in 99.5, have it your way, perfectionist, I don’t want anyone to think I am bad at math or, well odds and stuff…🤔,😁.

So, where am I, let’s see,

1 in 234 times 99.5 = 1 in 23,283 chance of getting “Six Feet Under”…

What’s .995% of .30744″?
=.003059028”

Three thousandths of an inch, +/-.

Shit, that ain’t even dust, but it might make a good film!😁

That ain’t even scratching the surface,
I am doing even better…
I hate digging holes, especially my own.
And I’m getting to old to dig holes for anyone else.😁

Oh shit, I’m getting old, that’s right… Does that make me an automatic loser?

“Not necessarily” (upside-down exclamation point), [means I’m whispering it] 🤔,😁.

Pick another game card, uh oh, two cards stuck together, I better go wash my hands… That should help, it’s not technically cheating…

I have to play them both, those are the rules, MY RULES.

One says 50-59, 2 out of 40 deaths,
and the other says 60-69, 6 out of 40 deaths…

This is where it gets tricky…

If I combine the two cards, ( that is allowed), it’s 8 out of 40 deaths, for 50-69 years old.

That’s one in five.

I was at a 1 in 23,283 chance…
Let’s see, 23,283×5= 116,415.

That’s a 1 in 116,415 chance of dying in Humboldt, Miranda specifically, and in particular if you are under 69 yrs old.

Now comes the hard part, converting the odds to a mortality rate.

Dividing 116,415 by 100,000 to get my factor, and then,

Dividing 1 by 1.16415 to get a rate per 100,000, =
.8589958339 per 100,000.

Call it .859 per 100,000.

Is adding less than 4.2 millionths cheating? Let’s call it rounding…

So, .859 per 100,000 chance of dying, under 69.

I’ll multiply both sides by ten to get the chance in a million.

8.59 in a million chance of dying of Covid19 if you are under 69, and live in Miranda.

Not bad!

Pick another game card…

Wait just a second, it’s my I.D. card.
and I am under 59, so since the death count in that group is only 2, not 8,
I get to divide by 4!

8.59÷4 = 2.1475 in a million chance.

Here’s where Alderpoint comes into play, at only 6 cases.

Under 69, 1.52 in a million chance,less risky than 2 vaccine shots.
Under 59, like me, and the chance in Alderpoint becomes…

.54 in a million, or about half as risky as one vaccine shot.
2 vaccine shots would be 4 times riskier than living in Alderpoint, under 59, and dying of Covid19…

Damn, do I wish I lived in Alderpoint?
Not Really! Psyche!! That’s the big city compared to where I live… They can have it.

Let’s just say I live somewhere between Miranda and Alderpoint..

17+6=23÷2=11.5 cases.

1.34 in a million…

Somewhere between 1 J&J and 2 Pfizer or Moderna…

Should I pick another game card?

Or at this point, should I even take a chance?

A chance card, sure, here goes…

It says, If you want to get vaccinated, go ahead an roll the DICE, idiot, your chances either way will be about six of one, or half a dozen of the other, but if you’re not that bad with math, and understand the odds, you won’t even pick up those risky dice, and no one under 50 should be even playing this game.

With a 1% case fatality rate, if no preventive measures had been taken, we would have been looking at more than 3 million dead Americans. As it stands, you covidiots killed between .5-1 million Americans last year playing pointless, confused political games. Who’s the death cult?

Since the beginning of the pandemic, almost half a million Americans died with pneumonia. That is an increase of 10× the normal number. Don’t tell me its just’s flu.

Check before you make claims because you heard them from some ill-informed Bozo and you want to agree with them. Sweden ended up locking down hard after their laissez-faire approach in the early days of the pandemic caused a crisis. More cases per population and slightly less deaths than California.

Yes , less deaths, they did better and only locked down for 20 percent of the time that we did. Sweden did less preventable measures and had less deaths. So how can you say we would have more without the longer lockdowns, the scientific data disagrees. Quit lying thirdeye, facts are facts and Sweden with less precautions did better than California.

The predictive models that were used to justify lockdowns were completely wrong in their assumptions on how much the spread would increase and how many would die. Your presumption that we could have “saved” more lives is speculative and absolutely unprovable.

If you’re trying to convince others of your opinion, perhaps you should leave out inflammatory buzzwords like “death cult?” It shows you aren’t demonizing the “other.” I don’t agree with how the government has handled this situation, but I have not engaged in overtly risky behavior that would endanger others. I am certainly not a “covidiot” and I am not responsible for anyone’s death.

Hey, Geist,

Any relationship to

You know, the guy that facilitated locating the mass graves under the permafrost of Spanish Flu victims in 1951, which led to disinterment of corpse tissue with Spanish Flu from the frozen mass grave on August 20, 1997.

With this material, the 1918 Spanish Flu virus was reconstructed,or should I say, resurrected?, but it took eight years.

Thanks, Geist,
Thanks allot.

Talk about potentially bearing some responsibility for future deaths!

Hypothetically, of course.

Unearthing the Spanish Flu must have had some potential for mass casualties.

Grave robbing for an extremely deadly pathogen, opening a Pandora’s Box, awakening

People who are so afraid of everything, even things that don’t exist , that they believe, and strangely prefer to believe, there’s a world wide conspiracy to take over their bodies and countries with mass DNA changing vaccinations, despite having no indication that this is currently even possible. Hmm…

I should have been more clear when alluding to the historical record of Huxley and the Rockefellers, Henry Kissenger, zbigniew brzezinski, Gates Sr types when it comes to treating the general population like lab rats.

Someone once said that it’s dangerous to project our own normalcy bias on the predator class of humans.

People are being victimized by a whole number of scams, and I merely wanted to clarify the difference between those two groups of people.

The predators, and their prey.

The comment glitches are years old.

If the page refreshes after your comment, have faith it will appear eventually, almost always.

If you get the “duplicate comment”, than press back.

Make a slight change to the comment, like adding a period or comma.

Press publish.

You will then see your old and new comment, both should give you the option for editing.

Delete one and your comment is up.

Bad internet connection will add to the woes.

There also seems to be 2 new glitches I’ve experienced recently, but less frequent. I won’t explain those now.

That is one of those smug idiocies that appear in memes created for frustrated. I have on occasion been in my truck alone with a face mask. That is because I use disposable surgical masks and, if I am doing a series of short drives between stops, it is simply not worth it to take it off and put it on again as it needs adjusments every time. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan ” “The trouble with our anti vaxxer friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so …”

Right Guest, interesting point about multiple shots. They always say 1 in a million chance of an adverse reaction from a vax, but what about if it’s 2 vaxxes, then they are yearly, and add that to the vaxxes already received from childhood or as part of one’s job. By the time somebody is 25 they might have received 50 vaxxes including the boosters, the yearly flu shot, etc. Be intersting if a study was done, if the combined effects mean something, or mean anything.

SOMEWHAT safe, AND,
SOMEWHAT effective.

What are they not telling us Auntie?

Sometimes you have to read between the lines.

We are being told about a breakthrough case rate of about one in a thousand.

They nonspecifically state it probably is an undercount.

That would be an efficacy of 99.9%.

If that is true, you can be sure they would state that as the efficacy.

They are saying what, 95%?

If that is true, then that means the true breakthrough rate can be potentially 50 times higher than they are claiming has happened.

Realistically, at a 10% infection rate, maybe close to 5 times higher.

And instead of 9500 breakthrough cases out of 9,000,000 fully vaccinated individuals, it would be closer to 475,000 breakthrough cases potential, although, again, 47,500 is maybe more realistic.

That represents 95% efficacy.

Let me illustrate it another way…

When 100 million Americans are vaccinated, there is a potential for 5 million of them to get Covid19.

Maybe, 500,000 likely will, with what we know.

200 will surely die from the shots.

“Safe” becomes a relative, not a literal term.

Same with “effective”.

It is literally neither perfectly safe or effective.

Maybe your really a Canis Lupus, in Ovine Garb?

Perfect is best but in the real world, where perfect is never an option, almost perfect is what saves more people. If 95% of the people who have died from covid in this country had been protected from getting so sick in the first place by vaccination, that would be 25,000 people who would not have died.

When you find perfect safety in a pandemic in ways other than vaccination, I’m sure that people will flock to you. Too bad there is no chance of that happening. You can’t even save all the 200 by killing 25,000 instead, although that seems to be your goal, for among those 200 saved from death by vaccinion, a few are going to die of the disease itself.

Actually it’s 25,000 that would have gotten Covid19 anyway, not died.

Get your story straight.

Here’s the interesting part,

Out of 9,000,000
fully vaccinated people, there were supposedly only
9500 breakthrough cases ,or,1.05%.
(I believe 74 died,
which means in your scenario, out of the 25,000 breakthrouh cases you mentioned incorrectly as deaths, only about 195 would have died)
And J&J changes everything.

But that would mean an efficacy of
98.05%! Not 95%, like they state, and you repeat. Or much less with J&J in the mix.

You can bet if the true efficacy of the vaccination was almost 99%, that’s what we would be told.

How many breakthrough cases are not being mentioned?

A bunch!

5% breakthrough as you postulate, and we are told, would be 45,000 out of 9,000,000, not 9,500!

And deaths among the 45,000 (5%) would be 921 in the ratio given, but probably more like
787(1.75% CFR).

That is with 100% vaccination in those 9,000,000.

The numbers don’t jibe. Not even close.

Everyone is getting duped into believing breakthroughs are 1 in 947.

95% efficacy means a 1 in 20 breakthrough rate.

Get the picture?

Somebody is lying their asses off.

You don’t believe it all do you?

It seems like it isn’t all fully understood yet.

As far as every American being vaccinated, your assertion is as hypothetical as it is unrealistic.

You assume a 100%
Vaccination rate.

Not gonna happen.

That changes everything.

And your crying over spilled milk.

There is no way to change or see into the past, so no use looking.

If you want to look into something, look into why we are being presented with information suggesting a false efficacy.

98.95%?

Sure buddy.

Dead people, which is the 500,000 pre vaccine being discussed, are not going to be resurrected by not getting vaccinated. And the rest of your post is equally nonsense. Break though cases are not only being talked about but formally studied.

The same retread ideas following the same pattern- 200 people died (maybe) from vaccine reactions and you clutch your pearls and scream. 500,000 dead from the disease and you announce it’s not so bad. You tout government figures when it suits your ideas and reject them when it doesn’t. Whatever is convenient. And if not convenient, you just make them up to sound as frightening as possible.

Auntie Ovine,

First of all, let’s clarify some terms, please.

Unless SarsCov2 is an
escaped or released bioweapon, no one has been killed by anyone, regarding Covid19.

However, if anyone dies from a vaccination,
they were surely killed,
sacrificed even.

Big difference.

The vaccine mortality rate is most likely considerably higher.

15 to 25 times higher, were the initial estimates.

That’s 3,000 to 5000, at a 30.2% vaccination rate,
4,965 to 8,275 at 100%.

You seem to be OK with that.
You know, for the greater good thingy.

I assumed a 30% vaccination rate to get 200 deaths.

If you say J&J, I’ll say booster.

And out of those 200,
10 would get Covid19.

Of them, at the current mortality rate, only
.3, not, “a few”, like you misled, will die.

First a person who leads a person with promises of safety to a cliff then pushed them over a cliff is guilty of killing them. Not the cliff. The pusher. So if you lead a person to believe that covid is not dangerous but vaccines are, yes, responsibility is there.

A strange incident if true as the usual syringes used only hold 1ml and the recommended dose is .3ml. They only hold a 3x dose. The nurse must have been using a giant syringe and how you do that by accident is really strange.

From the left leaning NYT….

A Misleading C.D.C. Number

We have a special edition of the newsletter on a misleading C.D.C. statistic.

When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines last month for mask wearing, it announced that “less than 10 percent” of Covid-19 transmission was occurring outdoors. Media organizations repeated the statistic, and it quickly became a standard description of the frequency of outdoor transmission.
Get The Morning by email: Make sense of the day’s news and ideas with this daily newsletter.

But the number is almost certainly misleading.

It appears to be based partly on a misclassification of some Covid transmission that actually took place in enclosed spaces (as I explain below). An even bigger issue is the extreme caution of C.D.C. officials, who picked a benchmark — 10 percent — so high that nobody could reasonably dispute it.

That benchmark “seems to be a huge exaggeration,” as Dr. Muge Cevik, a virologist at the University of St. Andrews, said. In truth, the share of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1 percent and may be below 0.1 percent, multiple epidemiologists told me. The rare outdoor transmission that has happened almost all seems to have involved crowded places or close conversation.

Saying that less than 10 percent of Covid transmission occurs outdoors is akin to saying that sharks attack fewer than 20,000 swimmers a year. (The actual worldwide number is around 150.) It’s both true and deceiving.

Not the first time the CDC has wildly exaggerated up or down lately.

They have been debunking themselves constantly, since vaccinations began.

Maybe even be for longer.

Their mortality and morbidity statistics were politically manipulated, according to boasters in the previous administration.

That’s about the time I started noticing
some shenanigans.

I don’t take them seriously any longer.

Just because someone tells you the truth for a period of time doesn’t mean they will never lie to you.
