1 Death, 2 Hospitalizations, 54 New Cases Reported
Press release from the County of Humboldt:
Humboldt County Public Health has reported the death of resident in their 70s from COVID-19. The staff of the Department Operations Center extend their sympathies to the person’s friends, loved ones and caregivers.
Two hospitalizations have also been reported, including a person in their 30s and one over the age of 80. Fifty-four new cases of COVID-19 were reported today, bringing the total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus to 8,555.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a health advisory yesterday strongly urging those who are pregnant or were recently pregnant to get vaccinated because of increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Of the more than 125,000 cases reported in pregnant people in the U.S., more than 22,000 were hospitalized and 161 have died. In the month of August alone, 22 COVID-related deaths of pregnant people were recorded, the highest number in a single month since the pandemic began.
COVID-19 infection also increases the risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. As of mid-Sept, only 31% of pregnant people were fully vaccinated before or during their pregnancy. The CDC also advises vaccination for those who are lactating, who are trying to become pregnant now or who might become pregnant in the future. Pregnant people should continue to follow all recommended prevention measures and should seek care immediately for any symptoms of COVID-19. For more information, consult a health care provider or visit cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/pregnant-people.html.
Due to the continued high transmission of COVID-19 locally, Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Ian Hoffman issued a statement today recommending physical distancing at meetings including those of legislative bodies. Virtual meetings that allow virtual participation of agency staff, presenters and community members are a safer alternative. Physical distancing is also recommended for gatherings and events. Visit humboldtgov.org/COVIDFAQs to read the full statement on physical distancing.
Residents are urged to get tested if they are experiencing symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus. No-cost testing is available through OptumServe seven days a week in Eureka at the Wharfinger Building on the lower floor and at mobile testing sites throughout the county Monday through Friday. To make an appointment or get information about results, visit lhi.care/covidtesting or call 888-634-1123.
Rapid testing and PCR testing are available at Public Health mobile vaccination clinics, where residents have the option of getting tested, vaccinated or both. As always, testing and vaccination services are free of charge. Due to an increase in demand for additional vaccine doses and boosters, appointments at Public Health vaccination clinics are strongly recommended but not required. Sign up in advance at MyTurn.ca.gov. For instructions in English and Spanish on how to use My Turn, go to humboldtgov.org/VaccineInfo.

Boston —Explaining that she felt more firm standing by her principles given the healthy job market, unvaccinated United Airlines flight attendant Erin Collins told reporters Thursday that she was confident she could get work drifting between European ports aboard a medieval plague ship. “Yeah, I figure all I need to do is learn how to drain blood and work some animal cures and I’ll be a shoo-in for a position on a quarantined merchant ship overrun with the Black Death,” said Collins, stressing that her easy-going personality and mastery of Italian and French meant she would be “very simpatico” with the bird-mask wearing plague doctors, barbers, and physicians as they fumigated bad air, balanced humours, and administered poultices to the heaped bodies of the sickly and dying. “On the other hand, I’ve also definitely got the experience to join a ship of fools where the insane are pushed off from port to gibber endlessly on the high seas. All I’m saying is there are options out there for people like me who have serious concerns about vaccinations.” At press time, the flight attendant was reportedly infuriated after hearing that most 14th-century death ships required proof of leeching
Where do you get these comical yarns?
Not giving credit where credit is due, that’s for sure…
Though I could not caution all, I still mig warn a few. Don’t lend your hand to raise no flag a top no ship of fools –r.h.
Please provided a link if you quote another author. That song is copyrighted by the way. r.h. tells nothing.
I am sure Grateful Dead lawyers are preparing a law suit as we speak. And I am sure the estate of Robert Hunter will be involved. In rap music, what you did is called sampling.
ship of fools indeed
Yea but who is on it??????
I am also friendly with the “estate” of Robert hunter, if you will.. I can email his manager for you and show you my hall pass..
Really. I have a daughter that was married to a roadie for the Dead. I will ask if she saw you hanging around
Whatever you do… Do not put a rose next to a bolt of lightning! GDM will rise from the grave and confiscate all your stuff man
Exactly man. A search of the Federal Trademark Register for marks owned by the Grateful Dead reveals over 25 registrations which are still alive, some dating back as early as the 1970’s. You cannot quote, copy, or sing any of their copyrighted material without their express written permission. Don’t mess with The Dead
So no Greatful Dead karaoke…unless I get permission?
Hahahaha.. do you know how many bands and people sing gratefuldead songs without getting permission.. maybe you could narc them out
You are missing the irony of the whole situation. You accuse me of copying something, yet turn around and do the same thing
Um I quoted him
Who is “him”? Please provide a link.
And no, that’s not called sampling. It’s called quoting a line from a song… You really just need to fight someone huh?? Well I guess I’ve humored you bored self enough now.. have fun
You still haven’t provided the link.
You also clearly know nothing of grateful dead music if you think lawyers are gumming up because someone used a quote from a song.. and you clearly know nothing of copyright law or patent law because I’m not making any money.. just throwing out song lyrics, take it how you will..
You still haven’t provided the link.
It’s that obvious they didn’t compose that?
You could just provide a link instead of stealing from someone else and posting the entire text.
Who doesn’t know about The Onion? I thought it was self evident. So raise your hand if you haven’t heard of The Onion.
They’re the same people who haven’t heard of “The Babylon Bee”!
Yea the Bee is ok too, but The Onion is hard to beat. Love The Simpsons. National Lampoon was good. Out of print now. And of course Mad magazine. Grew up with that.
Parks and recreation.
Spy vs Spy was my favorite
‘What, me worry’?
Raise your hand if you haven’t heard of plagiarism. It’s stealing.
http://www.theonion.com was where I got the article I posted. Seth Reiss is the head writer for The Onion, the popular satirical news publication whose website receives over 7.5 million unique visitors per month and whose print circulation numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Although I can’t confirm he was the author of the article
Please do include a link if you quote from another author.
OK
Hi ho silver away- Fran Striker
Stealing is their thing that they do.
Well the Lancet just referred to women as “people with vaginas.” Apparently, the words woman/women/girl are a big no no because you know “science!”
Funny that women demand equality. The process of pregnancy and childbirth is extraordinary and beautiful in so many ways. For women to be grouped in with “people who menstruate, pregnant people and people with vaginas” is so insulting as a mother.
yeah, that wording is… strange, to say the least.
I read that “there was a swift backlash and the top editor apologized” In a review of an exhibit about the history of menstruation at the Vagina Museum in London, the author writes “women” four times, but also uses the phrase “bodies with vaginas” once, according to the news outlet. This from an article in The New York Post.
It does tend to remind we ladies of our essential function, as far as the ruling caste is concerned.
“Well the Lancet just referred to women as “people with vaginas.”
What more proof do you need that liberalism is a mental disorder? Pretending men can get pregnant? Inventing words and demanding others address you with said invented words (my pronouns are king and your highness)? Smashing, burning, looting, rioting are mostly peaceful protests? Mulling around the White House like tourists is “armed insurrection”? Afghanistan departure was a huge success? 7 dead, innocent children and only Stuart Scheller goes to jail? $5 gas and $5 a lb hamburger meat (and rising)? The entire third world pouring over the border (unvaxed incidentally) is going to make us richer? “Free” health care, college, pre k? AOC-LOL? Liberal big tech/ liberal big government thought police while libs call YOU fascist? The Democrat segregationists advocating for segregation…… again (while calling you racist)? Electing an Alzheimer’s patient to the presidency, watching the country swirl the toilet bowl and then exclaiming: it’s better than tRump!
Enjoy your energy bill this winter. Maybe they’ll come up with a vax for TDS.
Ya, the people who are pregnant…you mean the women/females. He’s targeting “people” who are pregnant, so as not to target “women” specifically is my guess.
“ pregnant people “?
I thought they were called women
That was ten years ago… now days you never know.
I thought calling anyone woman, mom, wife, sister, grandma, aunt or anything gender specific was offensive and thus discontinued until the individual actually told you in writing, in triplicate and signed in the presence of at least two witnesses, notarized and filed in a court of law.
even the Lancet medical Journal calls them “bodies with vaginas”…….no joke
take a look at their most recent cover

Thumbs up!
Now that men can be women, the term needs further refinement.
Men will never be women
Personally, I am a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.
Men carry an X-female and a Y-male chromosome. So genetically, men are half woman…
Be a good neighbor, please get vaccinated and help save lives and hospitalizations in our community.
Respectively decline.
Have you ever heard of the people that had AIDs and knew they had it and couldn’t wait to spread around. Not long ago they were advertising covid 19 party’s
If they haven’t gotten a shot yet. Maybe they want some attention in the hospital or see how many they can infect.
550000 fatalities with covid in first year , 100000 in second year ,95% over 50 years old, this show is over, typical flu season 60000 ,we’ll be lucky to see that this winter. But get that tp before it sells out, crack me up. BTW 6times as many people will die just from cancer alone next year and another 6 times from heart disease, don’t see people buying up salad though.
What “Mega me” said. Someone at the Public Health Dept. feels the need, or perhaps their department policy now tells employees, to omit the word “woman” whenever possible? When identifying pregnant women?
In case you haven’t been paying attention, this is what the woke movement does to people: Makes them so pathetic, or so dangerous (maybe they’re incels who might go on a shooting rampage if not placated), that if they are male and can’t get pregnant or have babies, we must avoid pointing out that horrible failing. We, as a society, must say, “Oh yes you little dumpling, you can have all the babies you want, just let’s step up that surgical and hormonal technology a notch… then you can do anything you want! Actual women, the bitches, will have NOTHING on you! Anything they can do, we can do better!”
I’ve got news for them… women have babies. Men don’t. It’s okay to use accurate language. And men, you will survive. You can do other things.
Come on, Public Health people! You can say it. It won’t hurt you. “Wo…” it’s kind of like the beginning of “wit” or “whim”… say it… then add a simple “men.” Actually, you ought to enjoy the construction of that word, suggesting, as it does, that women are merely an offshoot or addition to the basic, primary, enduring form: men.
Who is this misogynistic propagandist who believes hermself to be enlightened?
We will not be erased.
Oh get back in the kitchen and cook my dinner!
that’s not very inclusive!
Betcha HE drinks a LOT of chewy BEER!
I find it horrific that now the CDC is going after pregnant WOMEN. This is genocide.
https://openvaers.com/covid-data/reproductive-health
There is room for speculation that this “jab” causes infertility because NO long term studies have been done, but there are also NO long term studies to show what happens to that poor helpless child in HER womb. But there are reports of miscarriages. WE are the guinea pigs. Once you get the shot there’s no turning back.
This is a clear violation of “The Nuremberg Trials” and informed consent.
It’s astounding.
What is astounding is the anti vaxxer’s unending drive to minimize the disease in order to question the vaccine. Pregnant women have repeated been in the news in such stories as having delivered a baby while in a medically induce coma because of intubation or having lost their pregnancy while hospitalized. Being pregnant has been recognized as increasing the risk of severe disease from the beginning. Now the anti vaxxers are attacking people who are trying to save them because deliberately putting pregnant women into a trial of any vaccine is considered an unacceptable risk so there is less evidence for them than others.
The Anti vaxxers are the ones trying their hardest to commit genocide.
Genocide implies race… Look some stuff up…
Do you think the science on these vaccines is settled?
No. But anti vaxxers have settled in the 18th century as to science and medicine. Anyone who complains that science is evolving and therefore all evidence should be rejected until it is “settled” is living firmly in the middle Ages and hasn’t even made into the 18th century.
Covid-19 is a known risk in pregnancy. Vaccines have at least some scientific evidence of being safe for pregnancy and a good record for efficacy. So the best evidence at the moment is for vaccination but stops well short of absolute surity. On the other hand anti vaxxers have no evidence vaccination is harmful to pregnancy, yet announce in capital letters this mild encouragement by public health is genocide. They are the ones making unproven, bigoted and exaggerated statements. Otherwise known as lies.
“The overall risk of COVID-19 to pregnant women is low. However, women who are pregnant or were recently pregnant are at increased risk for severe illness with COVID-19. Severe illness means that you might need to be hospitalized, have intensive care or be placed on a ventilator to help with breathing. Pregnant women with COVID-19 are also more likely to deliver a baby before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy (premature birth) and might be at increased risk for problems such as pregnancy loss…
While further research is needed, early findings suggests that getting an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy poses no serious risks for pregnant women who were vaccinated or their babies.k

I’m not political. I’m not an antivaxxer as you say. I realize C19 is very dangerous for some and I also know so is the vaccine. In order to say it’s perfectly safe they need more data.
Ant vaxxers seem to always say they aren’t anti vaxxers while saying anti vaxxer stuff.
Somehow Bill Clinton comes to mind . . . .
That all depends on your definition of vaccine…
Precisely!
I had all my vaccines growing up and am here to tell about it but these shots are not “vaccines” by definition, they are “gene therapy” which has never before been used on humans. We can split hairs all day long but until there are LONG term studies I’ll sit on the sidelines, thank you. And this link I am providing is just one example for which there is one to counter it. All I want is the TRUTH and we won’t know for YEARS. I PRAY I am wrong!
https://tapnewswire.com/2021/09/this-is-why-they-are-pushing-the-vax-so-hard/
Utter nonsense. Not one of those things is true. None of it. Even worse- none of it makes sense. And no amount of being clearly so wrong so many times ever makes an anti vaxxer pause even a moment before eagerly swallowing the next stupidity whole. To believe such clap trap they have to also believe almost every doctor and nurse is lying to them.
About this linked website “Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Conspiracy, Hate, Fake News
TD Newswire is a garbage dump of extreme right-wing bias and conspiracies. Refers to liberals as libtards right in the headlines and has questionable content regarding race. One of the worst right-wing sites in existence. (D. Van Zandt 10/26/2016)”
The study, released last week by NYU Langone Health in New York City, looked at 36 newborns whose mothers received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine during pregnancy.
Researchers said 100% of those infants had protective antibodies at birth, proving there’s scientific power to protect two lives at once
NYULangome News hub 9/22/21
The there’s this study
https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2104983?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed
Widely heralded as showing that risk of miscarriage if receiving the vaccine while pregnant was no different then the normal risk, there are some serious problems with that assessment.
Namely, it comes from a comparison of the 104 miscarriages (spontaneous abortions before 20 weeks of pregnancy per the studies definition) out of 827 completed pregnancies. The problem is that at least 701 of those 827 completed pregnancies was in women who received their first dose in the third trimester, meaning they couldn’t have miscarried (by this studies definition) after receiving the vaccine in this study.
That means that those 104 miscarriages occurred out of 126 pregnancies where the mother received her first dose of vaccine in the first or second trimester. That’s a super concerning statistic. Now, there are still 3000ish women who have not completed their pregnancies left in the study. And, obviously, miscarriages are going to present faster than live births brought to term. So we can assume that ratio will go down as more of these subjects who received their injections early in pregnancy move forward.
But it’s the misrepresentation that raises my eyebrows. It’s just basic stuff. Why present the data that way, in a way that is inherently dishonest? The data does indicate that receiving these injections in the 3rd trimester doesn’t confer any additional risk, so why not just say that? How can this data be construed to demonstrate that these shots are safe for the first and second trimester? Are the scientists engaged in this study this careless about data? Do they have a political or social objective beyond their scientific one?
Those concerns are actually part of the study report. As a typical part of the written analysis. Nothing was “hidden” or “misreprestenter” nor “dishonest.” The only political agenda is the commenters.
They did mention it in the discussion, as part of a general discussion about the limitations of their sample and the preliminary nature of the data. They still presented the data in a way that downplayed the risk of miscarriage and, predictably, it was those top line data numbers (No Increased Risk of Miscarriage!) that was picked up by the media reporting on the study and is the way the study results are presented as supporting the safety to pregnant women by our public health agencies.
I’m glad that you actually read through the whole study, after reading it would you encourage your pregnant wife to get vaccinated in the first trimester? Do you think its appropriate to point to this study as part of a drive to encourage all pregnant women to get vaccinated as soon as possible?
A study of 36 newborns! I guess that settles it!
My wife and I have 5 awesome kids the second youngest tested positive for covid she got it at the kindergarten petri dish she attends . We weren’t surprised as she is the weakest link in our family chain for this bug. Soon after our baby became ill with the same symptoms . Then our 10 and 12 year Olds the same. Me my wife and our 15 year daughter all fully vaccinated did not.we have been tested multiple times with negative results. True story the vaccine worked for us… the kids are all fine now I am great full we got the shot . The illness was fairly mild for the little ones but that may not have the case for us. I believe in the vaccine but say fuck the mandate. Just food for thought.
Thanks for the story , i always like reading peoples personal experiences.
Hmm,
So did Merck tweek the horse paste, or the HCQ?
What do you think of the “scientific” trial process?
