1 Death, 9 New Cases Reported; More Than Half of Eligible Residents Fully Vaccinated
Press release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
A Humboldt County resident has died with COVID-19, marking the county’s 48th death. Nine additional cases of the virus were reported today, bringing to 4,451 the total number of county residents who have tested positive.
The person who died was in their 70s. Humboldt County Emergency Operations Center staff share their condolences with this person’s friends and family members and all who have lost a loved one to the virus.
Tomorrow, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, also known as Cal/OSHA, is expected to approve updated masking guidance that will closely align with the state’s recent masking order. That order requires only unvaccinated people to continue masking in public settings with limited exceptions for high-risk places such as health care facilities and congregate living facilities where everyone must wear a mask regardless of vaccination status. As of today, all employees are required to continue to wear masks in the workplace.
Public Health and other approved local vaccinators have administered a total of 125,174 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine section of the Data Dashboard has been updated with the latest information from the California Immunization Registry (CAIR). Some highlights include:
- More than half, or 50.5%, of county residents over 12 who currently qualify for vaccination are fully vaccinated.
- Almost 3 in 5, or 59.5%, of eligible county residents have received at least one dose, meaning they have some protection against the virus.
- Of residents in the 12-15 age group who most recently became eligible for vaccination, 11.3% are fully vaccinated. This represents an increase of 7.8 percentage points over the last week, the largest increase of any age group in that time.
Data provided by the California Department of Public Health, which includes additional information not added to the CAIR database, reports that 63.1% of Humboldt County’s eligible population has received at least one dose of vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccine is still widely available in the county. Public Health has scheduled clinics this week in Eureka and Arcata, and walk-ins are welcome at all of these clinics. Those who would like to make an appointment in advance or view additional vaccination options may do so at MyTurn.ca.gov.

Team Truck Flag is celebrating FreeDumb!!!
Yay! Build a wall!
I’m right there with ya, we gotta wear 2 masks to make up for this mandate ending. And we gotta come up with some more bombs to sell Israel so they can continue bombing their neighbors. Go Biden! I just bought my first EV today, imported oil costs too much, we can’t figure out why, must burn cleaner.
Your comments are double plus good!
Don’t all the fools know that everyone in Texas and Florida has died from freedom?
🕯🌳Some of this is going to piss a lot of people off. 🖖🖖
What percentage of deaths are over 70 years old. And what percentage died of actual complications but tested positive for antibodies? We want answers. The truth most prevail. If we allow lies to control science we will be opening the door for complete baseless control.
I’m guessing the anti-body test is no longer used, if it ever was in Humboldt.
The “gold standard” is the rtPCR which spits out as many as 97% false-positives.
E.g no more “tests”, no more Big Bad.
Good possibility herd immunity has been reached.
It certainly appears that the bs test was designed to help in the creation of the “pandemic” and still used for the fear factor.
https://www.journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-4453(21)00265-6/fulltext
What is going on? Less and less people are testing positive but deaths are more frequent? Is there some merit to the anti- mask, anti- restriction, anti vaxxer group harping on “with” versus “from”? If a person’s death was not likely from covid-19 even as a secondary or contributing cause, why are these being tallied as covid-19 deaths? I know the distinction is not always clear but a doctor’s opinion about the death being from covid should be at least an informed opinion.
Kym, what is your understanding of what “with” means when public health uses it? “From” should be much more clear.
https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/how-are-covid-19-deaths-counted-it-s-complicated
My understanding is that the first reports are said as …died WITH COVID…even if the doctors are all but sure that it would best be expressed as FROM COVID. Then when as happens once or twice, a death is determined to not have been caused by COVID but rather the person died WITH COVID, then they have been most accurate in their description. I believe two deaths in Humboldt have first been thought to be from COVID but later were ruled that the person would have otherwise have died (one was a motorcycle accident) and so they were taken off the HUMBOLDT COUNTY COVID Death count.
This however is off the top of my head and I’ll try to get an answer next week. I’m struggling with time issues and haven’t been attending the opportunities for media to ask questions of Public Health. Maybe I can submit a written question.
The fact that a motorcycle death made the Covid list to begin with is absurd and should speak volumes.
This is a new situation…that ponderous government agencies take awhile to adapt to a quickmoving pandemic…that doesn’t surprise me a bit.
it was so quickmoving and unexpected that they literally had an excersise of a fictitious coronavirus pandemic in the fall of 2019 called event 201. it was also unknown that gain of function research on coronaviruses could cause such an outbreak. so many unknowns.
👍
Deaths lag behind cases. We had a case spike, and now we have a death spike. The WHO says 2-8 weeks from symptoms to death is typical, China says 18 days is average, the UK says most within 28 and almost all within 60 days… this death spike is exactly where it should be based on the previous case spike. And cases are still fairly high, so the deaths will probably continue to be fairly high…
As a side note, the pfizer vaccine reduces your chances of death by 96.7%.
We have to catch up to everyone else ,we sure did flatten the curve, but it will run its course regardless. Why so hard to accept reality?
The reality is we now have a vaccine that will quite substantially reduce the area under said curve.
🤔🧐It’s only a joke.😁
🤔🧐 If you get it.😁
Less people are getting tested so less “confirmed cases” the older at risk demographic is mostly vaccinated so it’s the younger not at risk at all people who are getting infected, and they don’t care to get tested. And yes the conspiracy nutcases are starting to look like experts at this point. Quite a shame for the real experts.
In other words, covid has run its course.
Yup, and I am truly glad that almost everyone survived.
I personally think Covid ran it’s course in Humboldt a year and a half ago.
Los Angeles county: 2400 deaths per million, Humboldt 350 deaths per million, during the same time period.
Except for it hasn’t, so there’s that …
The Duck Dynasty’s are going to cause another outbreak, clean in the middle of summer
Not even close

The remarkably sad part of all this is that none of those folks in the hospital or who died had to be there. At least according to the local CDPH, none of the hospitalized or dead were vaccinated. Such a simple thing to avoid such a catastrophic outcome.
Its every hospitalization preventable? How many toddlers drown in 5 gallon buckets every year, and it keeps happening, welcome to the real world Tim, not sure where you been hiding.
No. Not every. But about 95% (the effective rate of these vaccines) are preventable , which is the demographic Tim referred.
Lets not try to go by recommendations that say “keep out of reach of children” and instead put out 1/2 full buckets of water everywhere small children play. The idea is not that you will prevent all deaths/injury, but that you can easily avoid most of them with little effort from preventative measures.
Humboldt county health has not accurately tracked breakthrough cases Hoffman said so himself back in may
https://kymkemp.com/2021/05/26/the-pockets-and-the-pits-along-humboldts-rural-road-to-herd-immunity/
Leaving aside the useless nature of tracking breakthrough cases that are mild (because as the doctor also said “hospitalizations are ongoing locally, that they are resulting from spread of the disease among unvaccinated people, not from people who have been vaccinated”), they are tracking the cases that are severe and, as of that time, there were none.
Answer for everything but the point is invariably missed. Consistency counts.
No answer for anything because the point is inevitably missed.
Any body hear about the hillbillies that deny covid to the point where if they catch a full blown case, then they hide it, so denial and lies prevail? That’s why the obituaries are packed!
“its only the flu” and don’t disgrace pappy! We’ll tell everyone he died pulling weeds…
Murica!
Is hillbilly a racist term ?,asking for a friend, racists suck.
No, hillbilly is rural prejudiced but unlike redneck does not refer exclusively to one race. https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/1623/chapter-abstract/177099/Black-HillbilliesAfrican-American-Musicians-On-Old?redirectedFrom=fulltext
Really? “Often used as an insult and racial slur against White folks who live in the country. A hillbilly is a person who lives in a remote, rural area in the South, often in the Appalachian (Or sometimes Ozark) Mountains and therefore is isolated and somewhat out of touch with modern culture. ” https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hillbilly
Somehow it’s too much of stretch to think that “Reason” is using it in any other way as he then doubles down on the same sort of insult by using “Murica”, which ” is generally seen as a derogatory yet humorous way to describe most Americans: fat, lazy, gunwielding, war loving, horse riding, saloon fighting, beer drinking, sex wanting or etc.” https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=murica
Both of which seem to fit nicely into your rule “3- No slurs–racial, ethnic, gender, political etc. The term sheeple will get your comment deleted. Also, stop calling local places by sneering nicknames, etc. Genuine complaints/opinions okay. Sneers are not okay.” Seems that by your response, it’s ok to insult rural people by assuming they are too dumb not to be hillbillies and “Murica”ns as long as it excludes racial minorities. Seems pretty specific ethnic slurs to me.
If civility was truly important to you, no slurs would be acceptable. Even if they are against the people you think deserve them- white rural people who must all be anti vaxxers.
Pretty sure “Reason” is that seven bowls idiot that got banned on LoCo. Same type of gaslighting statements against who they declare to be “mouth-breathing white trash.” Let’s see if they bring up “la raza” or any other pro-minority groups as being superior to white “pecker woods”. Can’t believe the openly racist drivel that gets a pass on that site.
Do you think seven bowls was one person, or more than 5?
A geneticist, An anthropology grad from HSU, A sound engineer, A graffiti artist, and A girl dj + their guests.
It started in a room full of people one night. That’s how the 12 monkeys thing came to be.
And it’s not gaslighting if it is a reaction to offensive acts. This time in defense of civil rights: Build a Wall, Illegals, George Floyd, Blue Lives Matter etc etc
“No sheeple, even less hillbilly” IMHO
Well, maybe I am prejudiced. I’ve referred to myself and my beloved community as hillbillies or hillfolk numerous times. I think of the term as having the context of rural and people able to do much with little, who prefer simplicity.
Minorities often take possession of the slurs used to describe them. That doesn’t take away the fact that they are slurs.
I am glad I don’t have to moderate these comments. Thanks for keeping them open.
So do black people use the infamous “n-word” among themselves but it’s not acceptable for others to use it. I doubt as if Reason meant what he used in a kindly, we’re all in it together sense.
Well, I consider myself a hillbilly/hillfolk, I’m willing to live with it…
What if Reason is related to some country hill folk from Tennessee, and meant no offense by it?
Does redneck now refer to only one race? That’s news to me if true.
Don’t be so willfully naive , who’re you trying to kid?
I’ve always considered rednecks to be beer-chugging hicks in rusted out trucks going around spotlighting deer or crashing quads into each other or such, not a racial thing. There’s certainly both black rednecks and native american rednecks…
I have heard despicable racists make the exact same argument with regard to the “n word”.
Ever hear about the unreasonable people that call themselves reasonable laying in hospitals with blood clots? Research the news it will give some clues instead of being an ( 3 letter self edit)….
I’m vaccinated,but call me whatever you want I’m still wearing a mask when I go to a store or restaurant
or were ever….
I’m right there with ya, triple mask to avoid this triple threat.
I’ve been wearing no underwear just to even it out.
Mask and no undies. Bandito commando.
Until when? The government tells you it’s safe?
The government has told people they’re safe if they’re vaccinated. How non-sheeple of him to not believe it just yet.

Open schools!
Stop the spread of fear !
Dig deeper than mainstream for real info.
🕯🌳Schools out Sparky. 🖖🖖
Alice Barney has 200+ summer school students.
Schoooool’s. Back. For. Summer!!
Sorry and thank you for posting the link to Dr. Zach Bush. He is an amazing informative person. I also highly respect Dr. Richard Flemming who has all the proof that the U.S. funded this virus ( man made ) with help of others(Gates/Fauci / NIH + more)
Sorry what I meant was open all schools to all individuals vaxxed or not. No masks required for schools. these small children need to have a trusted and strengthened immune system.
No more Divided States of America!
Putting masks on our children is outrageous..
Please don’t push a science experiment on our youth.
This was an EU that is being abused by our government to test on human subjects ( before animals). Stop pushing for more , and offering bribes . We don’t want communism. We want transparent leaders and to advocate for the youth and for nature alike !
***U.S. OUT OF HUMBOLDT!***
Thank you Kym,

Sparky
Thanks Sparky!
Amazing how “u.s out of Humboldt” was sooo popular back in the day….unfortunately maybe not so much in recent times.
Now they are the saviours.
I am so glad that Covid is over!!! Everybody is vaccinated and the vaccines work just fine- even for the arriving Delta strain and any other strains that might happen! That’s why we can all take our masks off and go back to festivals and gatherings and music and theater and all those good close-up packed-in events we al love!! And the economy will rebound and everything will be all normal again! YAY!!!
Some of us have been doing that and no one has gotten covid. You really are a custy bummer
Duck! Incoming sarcastic point!
And I heard Jerry was coming back to play Help-Slip-Franklin!! So I gave them all my money…
Ok…
I’d like to know the percentage of people that died while having been vaccinated although the vaccine not necessarily causing death. Certainly they’re keeping track I would hope.
CDC is ; “total of 10,262 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections had been reported from 46 U.S. states and territories as of April 30, 2021. Among these cases, 6,446 (63%) occurred in females, and the median patient age was 58 years (interquartile range = 40–74 years). Based on preliminary data, 2,725 (27%) vaccine breakthrough infections were asymptomatic, 995 (10%) patients were known to be hospitalized, and 160 (2%) patients died. Among the 995 hospitalized patients, 289 (29%) were asymptomatic or hospitalized for a reason unrelated to COVID-19.”
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7021e3.htm
Why only 46 states?
Was that an admitted undercount eventually by the CDC ?
Was it just a snapshot?
Out of how many jabs?
Sheesh. It means the others haven’t reported yet. No conspiracy. For the rest of the information, read the linked page.
No thanks.
Don’t need to open it
That’s such old hat.
Very incomplete and misleading.
I remember it well.
“As of May 1, 2021, CDC transitioned from monitoring all reported vaccine breakthrough cases to focus on identifying and investigating only hospitalized or fatal cases due to any cause. ”
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html
So Guest, does that mean after may 1st, the CDC just has no data on breakthrough cases unless they are hospitalized or are a fatality?
It means they don’t want people to know how laughably ineffective their mRNA injections are at preventing infection and transmission.
Right anon. Do you know why the vaxx caused heart inflammation in in younger people? Thanks.
“But the rate of heart inflammation per million doses was much higher for younger people — 20.6 for ages 18-24, 35 for ages 16-17, and 22.4 for ages 12-15. The number of cases for those age groups also was two or more times what would be expected, according to the CDC.”

Because SPIKE PROTEIN damages VASCULAR structures .
If it’s all over the internet there is nil “evidence” the spike protein in the stabs causes any damage but common sense hints otherwise you can be fairly sure the narrative is being controlled. And the truth is being made out as a lie.
Keep your eyes wide open. And keep digging, enough brilliant minds know wtf is going on and try as they might they can’t silence each one.

Thank you anon, good info.
AA,
Good link skills, bro.
That’s exactly the quote that I’m talking about.
So from April 21, 2021, (24.1% fully vaccinated)when Hoffman declared 10 breakthrough cases, to June 11, 2021, (49% fully vaccinated), when Hoffman declared 40 breakthrough cases, (50 days), there were then 30 breakthrough cases. (40-10). For 40 of those days, (80%), breakthrough case counts were substantially reduced.
Considering that vaccination began on January 16, 2021, and most full vaccinations took 5 to 6 weeks at the least, it puts the first fully vaccinated at February 21, 2021, or so.
In about the next 50 days to April 21, 2021, there were 10 breakthrough cases.
In the next 50 days, fully vaxxed numbers doubled, while breakthrough cases TRIPLED TO 30, even with reduced casecounting, FOR 80% OF THOSE 50 DAYS.
Surely it was considerably more.
According to the dashboard portal archives, there were 759 regular cases during those same 50 days.
Breakthrough cases represented 4% of regular cases.
1 out every 25.
Surely it was considerably more than that.
Breakthrough Cases tripled to 30 from 10, even with a reduced count methodology for 80% of the time, in the second 50 day period.
Pretty much explains why they changed the way they count breakthrough cases.
Or well, the way they actually, don’t count Breakthrough Cases.
Right Guest, you’re correct, thank you. I think the breakthrough cases should be recorded.
‘Just looking at hospitalizations or cases from people who die is really keeping, I believe, blindfolds on your eyes and not fully understanding what’s happening with this virus,” says Rick Bright, a former federal health official who’s now with the Rockefeller Foundation. “It puts us at a disadvantage of better understanding this virus and how to end the pandemic.” ‘
