Press release from the County of Humboldt:
Eighteen new cases of COVID-19 and one new hospitalization of a person in their 60s have been reported in Humboldt County today. The total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus now stands at 4,989.
Citing the increased spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today revised its masking guidance to recommend that all people, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask indoors in public in areas of substantial or high virus transmission, which includes Humboldt County.
If a vaccinated individual’s household includes vulnerable individuals such as young children or those who are immunocompromised, the CDC advises indoor masking in public settings whatever the level of transmission. In order to limit the spread of Delta, the CDC also recommended that fully vaccinated individuals with symptoms and those who are exposed to a person known or suspected to have COVID-19 get tested.
CDC’s recommendations are based on preliminary evidence indicating that while vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant of COVID-19 are unlikely to become severely ill from the virus, they can spread it to others. Read more about the recommendations at cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html.
Today’s announcement follows Humboldt County Public Health’s recent recommendation that local residents wear a mask in indoor public places to protect against spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
Vaccination continues to be the best protection against severe illness and death from COVID-19. Vaccines are available at Public Health vaccination clinics and most local pharmacies.

Here we go… Biden administration Just cast doubt on the efficacy of the vaccines.
Mask up? Get the jab? Both? Who fucking knows.
Where’s mommy?
In the meantime, it’s just a respiratory disease that 96.4% will overcome.
We could go back to the tRump days of “I want to see everyone in church for Easter” ( Easter 2020).
HaHa. Bottom line is they are making it up as they go. Doesn’t matter which party is in the White House.
Every person needs to make their own choices, based on what they think is best for themselves.
I was in church Easter of 2020. And Easter of 2021.
These authoritarian fucks will never tell me what I can or can’t do. From either party.
I’m a free man and I’ll do as I please. These politicians need to fear us.
Fuel was cheaper with Trump , this go green crap is only hurting people on set incomes, higher priced goods are coming. Maybe ole Joe with give social security a 50 percent raise,that would secure him some votes.
🕯🌳Gas was on the rise during his administration so stop getting your panties in a bunch. 🖖🖖
Only the last month willie you know you miss that 2.35/gal
Gas was 25 percent less, case closed.
🕯🌳But on the rise. 🖖🖖
Fuel was much cheaper under Eisenhower….
Remind me of the point🤷♂️
Higher gas prices under Biden is a major right wing media talking point.
As if Biden could magically lower them but refuses to do so.
They never talk about Trump bilking his loyal cult 45 out of millions to “stop the steal”. Watch FOX and Newsmax sometime, you will see where they get their bs from. It’s hilarious entertainment.
Is Biden right wing or left wing, or just a chicken wing?
🕯🌳They had cars back then Brain??🖖🖖
The Big Guy sez, “You’re covered.”
dig this link to see what “recovery” looks like for so many people, and maybe not be so cavalier about people’s lives. i’m pretty sure you’d be singing a different tune if it was your mother, child, spouse or sibling among the dead.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351
Pretty much my entire family caught it and extended family. Every. Single. One. Of. Us. Survived. With 0 complications. Now we are completely immune. It was totally safe and effective.
Wonder what Fauci bought stock in before the CDC guidelines changed?
Wonder how much longer they can convince the public that this is such a dangerous disease?
Terrorism is social hygiene. The CDc and the WHO have an agenda. And it’s not going to save your life.
i hope you didn’t care about 9/11 victims, or the bengazi six. something like a million people dead. their agenda is to do their stated job.
our species is doomed.
Common cold, been around since the beginning of humanity, deleting history and teaching stupidity to our youth in school, this is what you get. Get over it idiots, science can’t fix reality.
This is no common cold. It’s brutal, litterally has knocked me on my ass for 7 days with little to no improvement and I have the mild symptoms.
Those are pretty severe symptoms. When it went through our household the child was down for about 3 days, wifey was laid up in bed for 3 days and then pretty worn out for another 3, I was bed ridden for a day and then had extreme muscle pain in my hip and low back that made it hard to walk for a week, and the housemate was down for 10 days solid.
If say your symptoms are slightly on the high side of average
Yep, the symptoms of the virus range from asymptomatic to death. If you want to roll the dice , go for it. Getting the jab is also a roll of the dice . Have a few friends from both camp that have wildly different experiences with both scenarios. Some with the jab said it was fine, no side effects, others say they haven’t felt the same since. Same thing happens earlier in the year when a few others tested positive for covid.
Make your own choice
Amen to that, life is full of risks and choices. You’re never guaranteed tomorrow today. I hope everyone can remember that angry and scared are two of the worst mindsets to make a decision from
This is also my experience exactly “Me”
Sounds severe bro. I had it and was working in my garden and patch all day everyday. I only would smoke one doobie instead of six and went to bed at 7 instead of 9.
Sounds like you have a bad case man. Get better soon.
If they can force us into the lockdowns like last spring once again, it is our own fault. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…well that’s my shame. No doubt people can find a way to rationalize more restrictions and lockdowns, but the cost benefit analysis is very skewed. This approach to a pandemic if full of hubris.
Gavin is perilously close to having to figure out how he can do even more to let all the DNC stoner sheep know that he has been ferociously attempting to bribe them, so that he doesn’t have to lose to a (black) republican—and thus, temporarily, thwart the promise of his lineage.
🕯🌳I don’t think they’ll lock us down again. As as the death count doesn’t start rising dramatically Hayforker.🖖🖖
They can only do what we allow them to do. Time for a free people to show these authoritarian clowns who really runs shit in this country.
agreed Jim!
Good luck, as demonstrated in these threads you will never every one on board with anything.
We the people 🇺🇸
Exactly. I was reluctant but vaxxed months ago because the assurance was saving lives,schools opening, businesses opening and life back to semi normal.
But intuitively I was worried that “they” would pull this crap. I see now there’s a 3rd vaccine “they” are working on,and by golly THAT one will fix everything for us. Those absolute liars. At every turn . I’m done vaxxing.
So we need to do the same thing that didn’t work last time with a less contagious version? Oh wait, we actually need to do slightly less this time.
🕯🌳I think we already are Mile. Look at the hospitalizations now and death rates compared to the beginning and we’ve simply started living better, vitamin D,better foods. Same thing went on after the Spanish Flu. 🖖🖖
Newsom got busted again! Lulz.

Who you guys voting for?
Not Caitlin.
Did you vote for Trump?
Censor me all you want, Kym. I have much respect for you and won’t say anything ill about you. But this has gone too far. It’s an exercise in control and I assure you, some of these politicians and government officials are going to pay dearly for their betrayal of their oath to the constitution.
well, I just started moderating and I know you have at least one comment that I haven’t looked at…so maybe not censoring? Maybe I needed to deal with dinner?
We are.
Well, shucks. I’d be happy to cook a meal for you and your family sometime.
I was so pissed off last night about this government over reach, I didn’t eat myself.
Don’t get worked up (easier said than done) and get knocked off your feed.
Sometimes it helps me to remember, …we’re all struggling…even those we disagree with.
Won’t hurt me to miss a few meals, that’s for sure. And yeah, you’re right. We all have things we struggle with and I’m humbly blessed more than others.
So how can we get to a more common ground? Seems like everything divides us nowadays.
On this topic, I’m vaxxed. Personal choice…. Or maybe Pavlovian reflex. Military told us to get our shots, whether we wanted them or not, so I’ve just kept getting them, although I’m not comfortable with the fact that it’s experimental. But I don’t encourage others to get it. It’s a personal choice and I respect that choice. I really feel that the CDC changed course because they’re privy to data about the efficacy of these vaccines and they’re not sharing that data with us. And I will not stand by and let more of my friends and family lose their businesses for another round of shutdowns. And many friends and family are in total agreement with me. As long as LEO doesn’t enforce this new round of mandates, sure as rain in Winter, no assigned government peon is going to interfere with our livelihoods.
I know for me that I’m made a resolve…sure to be broken many times similar to the many diets I’ve tried in my life—to stop being snarky and just assume the best of someone. There are certain commenters I may not be able to achieve this zen state with though…
That’s my Achilles heel. I’m a smart ass. And snarky. Someone lays into me, Imma dish it back.
Guess I could work on taking the high road more often.
🕯🌳Wow Jim that’s the most sensible thing you’ve said yet. Good show. 🖖🖖
✌🏼2U, Willie
Ditto. So many sites won’t allow commentary. And aside from a few “outliwrs” people are respectfully disagreeing pointing out their thoughts and feelings.
Thank you so much for providing the space. We all really need it right now.❤
Enough
Is enough.
Good people are being disappeared.
Our woke corps /government need to be recalibrated.
Big technology, big pharmaceutical, big media, and big government need to be muzzled.
🕯🌳LOL,LOL.🖖🖖
Thanks ullr Rover.
“In October 2009, the US National Institutes of Health infectious diseases chief, Anthony Fauci, appeared on YouTube to
reassure Americans about the safety of the “swine flu” vaccine. “
The track record for serious adverse events is very good.
It’s very, very, very rare that you ever see anything that’s associated with the vaccine that’s a
serious event,”1 he said.”

Of you, too!… I assume you meant Eff you… well, you can choose to protect yourself in any way you see fit and I trust you in making the best decision for yourself. Courtesy, of course, would be to reciprocate. Either way, I’m responsible for me not the bureacracies.
Get the damn shot! Be a part of the solution, not the problem! Ya know…it’s like having sex with a hooker and not wearing a condom or looking at porn on your computer without virus protection…you’re bound to get something!
Stock up on ivermectin while you still can
Seriously I’ve had enough with all of it. So many hypocrisy in masks and vaccines. You can stay home, get better masks if you need to protect yourself or your loved ones. Full rebellion is in my blood when it comes to supporting big pharma ect.
Absolutely. And we cannot let them shut down commerce or free trade again. Any business that wishes to remain open if these vermin try to close up again must be protected by armed citizens against any government official that tries to shut it down or harass their supply chains or customers.
No more shut downs. It’s not that bad. It wasn’t that bad the first time. It caused so much chaos that it fucked up may people’s lives. Why have the virus troubles and crazy rules ruining peoples lives and businesses? It only made it worse. Oh politicians always think they do something to help when doing nothing would cause less problems.
Oh god, here we go…. tough guys unite! Guns! Rebellion!
What a crack up.
These threads are so entertaining.
So many legends in their own minds.
Yeah, sure
Fauci clarifying the mask recommendations

I’ll agree with the tweet that he is acting like a technocrat. Too bad he destroyed his legacy at the end of his career. Should have retired in 2019.
empire of lies you stand on when you stand with governments and corporations
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-administration-recommend-vaccinated-wear-masks-areas-low-vaccination-rates-n1275012
“CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said recent studies had shown that those vaccinated individuals who do become infected with Covid have just as much viral load as the unvaccinated, making it possible for them to spread the virus to others. Based on that finding, Walensky said the CDC is also recommending that all school children wear masks in the fall.”
only just recently “the viral load is different you idiot” keep shifting to fit the control narrative
i urge my fellow friends and strangers to reconsider your alliance and commitment to liars. they are the enemies of truth and freedom
In Humboldt 5% of those tested have tested positive. 5000 out of 100,000 tests in a year and a half. Not sure how many tested twice. The County has 135,000 people. So 3.7 % of our residents have tested positive in a year an a half. I don’t know how that compares to the flu rates during the same time.
Each “vaccine” has not been fully approved by the FDA. We don’t know how many of the latest positive tests were of vaccinated people but there must be some due to the changing “guidelines”.
There has been no testing or at least no public results published on the effect of a vaccine on the folks who have recovered from covid.
Masks work or don’t work depending on which Fauchi clip you watch. How he still has a job I have no idea.
If there were anti body tests more available and those results published and there was more consistency from those supposedly in charge we could be working together. But this administration has caused a radical loss in trust. Maybe even on purpose.
There has always been some distrust of government but we are seeing a whole new level now.
