56 New Cases of COVID Reported Since Friday
Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:
Humboldt County Public Health reported 56 additional cases of COVID-19 since Friday, bringing to 9,071 the total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus. No hospitalizations or deaths were reported.
One hundred eighty doses of vaccine were administered over the weekend at Public Health’s mobile vaccination clinics held in Eureka and Miranda. Health officials continue to urge all eligible residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Residents, particularly those who are unvaccinated, should get tested if they are experiencing symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus. Testing is available through OptumServe seven days a week at the Wharfinger Building in Eureka and at mobile sites throughout the county most weekdays. For more information about testing, go to humboldtgov.org/covidtestregistration.
On Wednesday, Oct. 20, the OptumServe testing site at the Fortuna River Lodge will be closed. Instead, Public Health will offer PCR testing at that site on Friday, Oct. 22, from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 3 p.m. Pre-registration is required. To sign up, visit the Color test registration page.
Residents who receive their first or second dose at a vaccination clinic located at a Public Health office in Eureka, Willow Creek or Garberville can choose a $25 Renner Petroleum or Coming Attractions Theatres gift card. Incentives are offered on a first-come, first-served basis at those locations only.
The county’s vaccination and testing services are available free of charge. Appointments for Public Health vaccination clinics are not required but are recommended due to an increase in demand for additional doses and boosters. Sign up in advance at MyTurn.ca.gov.

Vaccine/testing mandates are soon a reality for many workers. I wonder just how many would give up their job instead – 5%, 2%, 1%?
And I gotta wonder why their isn’t a measurable level of natural immunity antibody that’s equivalent to the double Moderna dose and could be substituted for a vaccine card?
I’m told more people died of covid under Biden than Trump. How could that be when Trump’s vaccine was generally available since the beginning of the Biden Administration?
Trump brought that up at the last rally.
🕯🌳You mean the Trump vaccine like himself is a failure,damn who would have thought. 🖖🖖
Its because the vaccine is a failure.
Noone vaxer will admit it. Look at the numbers in UK and Isreal.
When Isreal realized the vaccine efficacy “DURATION” sucked they initiated the boosters. These poor people are now at the mercy of possible Long term effects. These people are basically the trials.
Natural immunity its is 100 percent better than the vaccine. Definitely last way longer a better against future variations. I can’t say this is a fact but definitely a wining argument compared to the vaccine. Data is still coming.
I would’ve got the vaccine but soo glad I didn’t.
” Natural immunity its is 100 percent better than the vaccine”
Until it doesn’t .
😉
I just have to ask. How many times are you going to respond to your own post? 3 times seems like a lot.
Is fuel 5 bucks yet? Are drugs the answer? It’s ok, you can tell the truth.
$4.19 at Costco in Ukiah on Sunday. Last time I bought gas. Don’t take drugs so I guess you’ll have to tell me if they are the answer?
Today oil is: crude $83 a barrel, Brent is $85 a barrel. Nothing to do with Biden. OPEC and wall street speculators control the market. Capitalism at it’s finest. We are still exporting oil. Of course oil refiners will take advantage of the situation. Its all about the all mighty dollar.
Really? Who do we export oil to?
You seem to have your facts wrong again.
Actually my bad, we had a ban on oil exports but that seems to have ended. We are exporting oil, you’re right about that.
Because they want you to take the jab. It’s got nothing to do with having immunity.
it’s about achieving herd immunity
there might be but, the percentage could drop drastically after a certain age.
Talk is cheap I’ve noticed it’s more about show. Trust me most people who pretend to be afraid of covid really deep inside know they got duped. You can hear it in there voices when you ask them if vaccinated. Eventually the truth will come out
Mostly it’s because their jobs made them get shot and they know their jobs will make them get every booster.
What’s encouraging is the tests to confirmed cases count. Good to see the amount of people still getting tested.
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/sexual-health/covid-vaccine-doesnt-cause-infertility-disease-might-
The symptoms of Covid-19 could affect both male and female fertility in different ways
What makes you say that?
I don’t see that information.
Did you look it up without sharing it?
When I looked it up, I shared it.
That information would be easily provided by the county.
One person could look it up, and include it with the case count so everyone wouldn’t have to.
🤔🧐I guess the dashboard needs the clicks to show that the system is working.🤔
SMH.
I designed the HCHD dashboard and get ten cents every time someone clicks on it.
I believe you.
You said that just in time, I was about to spill the beans that 511 people got tested in order for the 56 to be positive, for a positivity rate of 10.2%.
Averaged over the last seven days the average was 9.4%.
🤔🧐I earned you a dime, but I might have cost you one.😁.
Just my 2 cents.
Way to share…
Thanks I’m really bad at math can never remember if I divide or multiply. How did you get the 10.2? I get 9.125. Serious question. Is there a different formula?
Divide 56 by 511. Result is 0.1095…
Multiply by 100 for a percentage of 10.95…
So 11% when rounded to either nearest whole or tenth of a percentage.
Got it. I get 10.95589. So 11% . But which one is right the 11% or the 9.125%? Damn wish I’d paid more attention in math class
Just checking to see if you are paying attention…
No, really, that’s a fair question…
Looking back at my work…
I really screwed it up…
It’s because I wrote it
sloppy…
(I did it by hand),
And I did it backwards.
I started to get 9 point something… but when I wrote 504 under what sloppily became 571, my remainder ended up being 67…
When I sloppily wrote 511, it became 571.
If that wasn’t bad enough, I was supposed to divide
56 by 511, not 511 by 56, then convert to percent.
(Got my second Moderna on Saturday, I’m kinda dinged out still)
I like stars to the rescue,
with the correct formula…
Hat Tip.
But, 11% positivity is moving in the wrong direction, from 9.4% for the week…
(9.40% for the last 7 days is from the dashboard)
Why should I relish it? I didn’t even know you made a mistake. Stars is the one that did the math. I just thought you used a different method. Stars is the math wizard here. And I always use a calculator unless it’s add or subtract question. Even then it better be small numbers. Of course I can do some simple long division. Here is a picture of my old math teacher.
There are two ways to calculate positivity rate:
Method 1: Divide (A) the number of people who have tested positive by (B) the number of people who have been tested
Method 2: Divide (C) the number of positive tests by (D) the number of total tests
These two methods won’t produce the exact same numbers, depending on how many people get tested multiple times and how many people rack up multiple positive tests. But they’ll tell the same general story
Sorry, I wasn’t sure if you were being sarcastic or not, and rubbing in my mistake.
I recognized my mistake, and also that I got confused and messed up the equation.
Normally I use a calculator, but I tried to do it by hand, bad idea.
I tried to do a major edit to my post to correct my mistakes, and my snarkiness, but it didn’t correct the post.
Got my second shot Saturday, and have literally been having trouble keeping track of what day it is…
Nevermind me, carry on.
Today is Wednesday. Just kidding it’s really Friday.
You’d make a great wingman…
Maximum integrity…
Totally trustworthy…
A straight shooter…
The kind you can always trust…
Always got your six.
Now that’s funny.
I wish you the best.
That’s new – getting “dinged out” from Moderna – better report it to VAERS
Very funny, mlr.
Considering it happened to my wife as well, you might be right.
We both woke up after dose two, very disoriented, unsure of the day or time.
She has also had a screaming headache since, that won’t quit.
Of course, we both donated blood on Friday, the day before our second dose.
That might have added to the extreme fatigue.
That probably hasn’t been studied much.
They did advise us to wait a week before our second dose, but we didn’t want to put it off another week.
You want to make a joke about that, too?
Maybe you’ll rethink your sense of humor, if you, or someone you love, needs one of those transfusion.
We tried to do our part.
I know for a fact that I didn’t see you there, mlr.
‘mlr the giant squirrel in eureka’
shape shifting from emphasizing the importance of people getting vaccinated, into ridiculing those that do. Even the ones donating blood while in the process of vaccination.
A real class act.
Take a bow, mlr, well earned.
I feel a gelastic seizure coming on.
This may may have triggered it.
Should I report that to VAERS?

please. 14, 2nd paragraph under the Nonclinical Pharmacology/Toxicology heading.
This fda document appears to state a material difference between the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that has been available (BNT162b2) and the approved formulation (Comirnaty).
“COMIRNATY and BNT162b2 (V8) have identical amino
acid sequences of the encoded antigens but COMIRNATY includes the presence of
optimized codons to improve antigen expression.”
I have considered the claim that the approved vaccine and the vaccine that has been available from Pfizer-BioNTech were different some how ridiculous. In this same document the fda says that comirnaty and BNT162b2 were used “interchangeably”. In another document the fda says that they have “identical formulations”. In the above document they seem to say, explicitly, that they are slightly different.
Please, legion of fact checkers, explain to me what is meant by the sentence quoted above.
https://www.winknews.com/2021/10/15/getting-both-flu-covid-19-vaccine-shots-this-season/
“There’s absolutely no reason why you can’t get a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine at the same time,” said Dr. Rebekah Bernard, from Gulf Coast Direct Primary Care. “The CDC has said that there’s really no contradictions. Wall Street Journal has same article but you need a subscription to read the whole article
Interesting,
I’ve been saying it was the same, as well, based on the “identical formulations” statements.
I guess it was wrong to do so.
Optimized codons? WTF?
Ya I had to eat some crow when a friend told me that comirnaty was a different product and I called him an idiot. He sent me that document.
Where are all the thought police who normally chime in to disparage wrong think? Does this mean that this is a fact we can all agree on? Is the approved injection a modified formulation from what has been used under the EUA?
That must be super annoying & tedious to monitor comments when it’s just 2 people responding to their own comments
I totally agree.
🤔🧐Three, would you believe?😁
Haha that’s funny
Sorry, couldn’t help it…
I’m so sorry I didn’t know we had a limit or the rule on how we post our comments. Please tell me what’s acceptable to you and I will be sure and follow your guidelines
COLIN POWELL DEAD FROM COVID
He took the stroke poke and crooked.
Guess no-one told him.
(I know CNN just got caught lying about Joe taking horse dewormer, but I think Kym will let the link slide)
https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/politics/colin-powell-dies/index.html
CNN Business) Some prominent conservative media figures on Monday dishonestly used the death of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, who died of Covid-19 complications, to cast doubt on the effectiveness of the coronavirus vaccines.
While Powell was fully vaccinated, he was also battling multiple myeloma, a cancer that suppresses the immune system response, as well as Parkinson’s.
They also wouldn’t confirm or deny that he had received the booster, or third dose.
That’s misinformation. If he had the ‘vid he died from the ‘vid. Science.
Good one, Connie!
Now people wanna talk about comorbidities?
WASHINGTON — The death of storied general and statesman Colin Powell from complications related to COVID-19 should not lead to any concerns about the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines, according to experts and government officials.
The fact remains that unvaccinated people are 11 times more likely to die than those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Please don’t let the death of an American icon become fodder for anti-vax forces that are putting untold millions in danger,” wrote Department of Health and Human Services adviser Ian Sams on Twitter. “Vaccines work. They prevent bad outcomes. They (like all vaccines) are not 100%, especially among older people with underlying/complicating health issues.”
FFS, some of CNN hosts incorrectly identified the medicine Rogan took as horse dewormer. It was Ivermectin but not the type used for horses. And for instance CNN Business stated, “In Wednesday’s video, Rogan said he took several medications after his diagnosis, including the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin, the use of which has become popular among fringe and anti-vaccine communities, and which US health officials have strongly advised against.” https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/01/media/joe-rogan-covid/index.html
Should all CNN hosts have referred to it like the business article did? Yes.
Is calling Ivermectin a horse dewormer a lie?…man…that’s tough sell when you are quoting the sites you are quoting. I’m not a big fan of CNN but compared to the wildass lies told by the sites you’ve posted here, I think I’d call that as near the truth as to make no nevermind.
In all fairness kym , they lied.
They knew he was prescribed ivermectin by a doctor yet referred to it by it’s animal counterpart/dosage to ridicule him.
They lied and they did it on purpose
I think calling any form of Ivermectin…horse dewormer (which it is used for in another form) falls way lower on the scale of “lies” than trying to reframe the January 6 insurrection as a bunch of rowdy tourists. (Note, I avoid using CNN myself) But, if you are willing to let Wally link to Breitbart and much much worse and scream censorship when I remove the link (not the way to search it, just the link) which I believe lowers my Google rating and affects my business, but want to insist that CNN is a liar and conveniently ignore the crap spewed on those other sites, then I can’t take your moral outrage seriously.
Who’s morally outraged? When did i mention January 6th? CNN, Fox News, Bloomberg, they New York Times …. They all spin the facts. The trick is reading all of it and finding the truth somewhere in the middle .
Media platforms are more biased than they are straight up liars. Bias implies selectivity in reporting facts as opposed to lying which is more about the rejection of facts. The Bias comes from the fact that they are appealing to the audience who has a preference for certain types of stories. CNN’s audience has a left wing bias, whereas Fox New’s audience has a right wing bias.
This has always been the case with the media, there has never been such a thing as a non-biased media. Truth is contextual, it is often the summation of a bunch of perspectives, biases and most of all the product of the elimination of contradictions and non-essentials aka getting rid of the bullshit. There’s a common saying that there are three sides to a story: Your side, my side and the truth. That’s perhaps the best embodiment of what we’re talking about here.
Many Americans have been taught to expect the media to be truthful, because critical thinking has been devalued. Critical Thinking is supposed you to navigate through a world of biases and figure out truth from falsehood, but since that is no longer a requirement of citizenship, it’s something that is now outsourced to media people, as though it matches up with their business model.
Just curious. Should I stop using CNN? No problem if so. Never really looked into which way they leaned or their reliability. I try to see if other news sites publish the same story. Woud not use them if story sounded to biased.
CNN is okay. But not great. If you can get the same story from a more reliable source, like Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Reuters, AP, etc. then they are a better choice but CNN works.
CNN is so full of shit, their headquarters got attacked by their own people during fentanyl Floyd riots
If you can’t tell that CNN is slanted and has its own agendas to push it’s only because you are as slanted as they are. They’re as bad as FOX now. Used to be FOX was the only radically slanted propaganda machine, now CNN and MSNBC both give them a run for their money.
If someone lies about “little things”, my experience is that they damn sure can’t be trusted with regard to “big things”.
“Insurrection” is an overly dramatic term to apply to a group of unarmed American protesters lead by a Buffalo hatted “shaman” diagnosed as a bipolar schizophrenic. Then again, he does believe he’s related to Jesus and Buddha so who knows the powers he might possess? The video inside the Capitol released by Capitol police under court order showed a crowd milling about taking videos with their phones and a couple broken windows. Hardly reason to use lethal force. January 6th Trespassers would be more accurate.
Your kidding right? I saw a policeman getting beat with a flag pole, people trying to take his gear. People spraying police with bear spray, journalists equipment stolen, broken, piled up. People stealing things. Maybe we are talking about 2 different insurrections. But your right insurrection is the wrong word. Riot by a bunch of dangerous dumbasses works better. The officer who did the shooting will carry that with him the rest of his life. But how was he to know what came next. He made a decision on what was happening at the time. Until you are in that situation you really don’t know the reason. I am sure he heard over his radio what was happening in other places.
And if this had Ben a BLM protest youdamn well better believe a lot more would have been shot.
“I think calling any form of Ivermectin…horse dewormer (which it is used for in another form) falls way lower on the scale of “lies” than trying to reframe the January 6 insurrection as a bunch of rowdy tourists.”
Justifying calling Ivermectin horse medicine is precisely why YOU can’t be taken seriously. In that case aspirin, vitamin D and penecillin are horse medicine.
Ya, here’s your “armed insurrectionists” vs the peaceful BLM protesters.

They know they will not be held liable. Joe Rogan dressed down Dr gupta and CNN obviously need to be simply recognized as corporate media, that protects the interest of corporate pharmaceutical companies.
The Big lie is being perpetrated and reinforced by the few over the many.

CNN also rehired Jeff (“Hi, Mom”!) Toobin.
it’s a conspiracy …. run !
I thought drugs were the answer?
She’s having a rough harvest season. Everyone is.
The hunters are starting to get hunted.
All the degenerates and devolved pagans who planned and executed the worst crime In history must stand trial before international tribunals.
If convicted for crimes against humanity they should be executed by lethal injection with the covid-19 poison death shots.
The media, academia, politicians, and industry tyrants who lied and murdered millions should be brought to justice.
The Nazi-like physicians who “just followed orders” should be brought to justice.
Not vigilante justice but international tribunals.
Let the world know and see what happens to sociopathic vermin when they desecrate Gods creation.
Justice and glorious days of peace are coming.

Please seek help. Some times the wheel house is pointing the opposite way Nothing wrong with that as lone as you get help!
Got covid and recovered, from where I stand , it’s the controlled demolition of our economy, and the woke segments of the slave mentality that need help. You might want to look at the ratio of expenditures for military vs mental health.
I’m quite clear about the priorities of this administration, and frankly most administrations filled with order followers.
You are obviously incapable of seeing the shit that passes for critical thinking.
In 1940s there was enough common sense to hang perpetrators of genocide.
Now they are failing forward.
the U S is the only country that has covid ?
Northwest needs to remove her blinders
Nice opposition!
Seems like we have entered full-tilt crazyville! They want to give you a $25 gift card for the jab? 99.5% jabbed don’t die from the Convids? Except Col Powell? Maybe the sickos want it for the aborted fetus stem cells? Something smells spoiled now and no matter what form of “terrorism” the establishment uses on the masses people are waking up. Just look at the protesting parents at the Ca state capital over the mandated jab for their kids in school! I will not bow to the temple of jabba at any price! It seems that the “powers that be” underestimated the people, thinking they could use their near worthless fiat paper to force compliance! I think most people value their bodies more than a DOLLAR BILL! THIS IS THE GREATEST TEST ON PEOPLE IN HISTORY! End the damn bankers and their agenda!
Give me a break . Colin Powell was 84 years old and had advanced cancer. He would have died from eating a jalapeño pepper ….
What hasn’t been established is whether or not he had gotten a third dose, and whether or not that might have contributed to the outcome, either way.
How does that work?
If it was less than two weeks after his third dose, would he have been fully vaccinated?
Did he die of Covid19 because he hadn’t gotten his third dose, otherwise he might have lived?
Had he gotten his third dose, because he was old and immunocompromised, and still died from Covid19?
Wait! Oh no, did he get the J&J?
That would explain things…
No booster available, and the vaccine with lowest efficacy against infections, hospitalizations, and deaths…
He might have gotten a J&J vaccination as much as 10 months ago…
We will probably never know …
Yes , people ! Look at the protests! Thanks ! I wonder why our little news reporter has not reported the real news today.. mmmmm ???
Survival 99. ( Fill in the blank ) ,%
Disgusting and people should be ashamed of this fear train they jumped on.
Kids are being injured from maxines and we allowed Newsom and Bidens to make this call!
F Newsom and
“Let’s go Brendon”!!
Insanity !
I only hopped over here to see if Kym was going to report the CA protests… Maybe tommorow, Thanks
☮️❤️🇺🇸
What kids? What maxines? and who is this Brendon? So many questions
43 percent rating? What gives? Does that mean that 20 million regret voting for Joe already? Only getting started, lets get this circus fired up.
If you will hop back you will see the article. She really doesn’t need to post things on your time schedule.
you a fan of the series Black List ?
This shit never ends. What happens in a few months when the jabs start wearing off and we are back to square one ? Perpetual boosters at the garberville farmers market?
this shyt keeps morphing into different variants
Exactly mega, this vaccine “therapy” is a huge fail hence why Isreal rushed the booster out. So many red flags. Honestly I’m sad for the vaxers. [edit] Also it is not effective against delta. My natural immunity works alot better long term and that’s a fact.
Also thankyou to all the anti covid vaxers, Ss, lone, 4 trinity ( we miss you) got logic, prof , ullr, and all others keep up the good work let’s not continue to let these keyboard warriors try to bully us.
As if anything that is posted in these comments makes a difference. Now that cracks me up. Although I do miss 4 Trinity he brought a much different perspective to the comments. I usually didn’t agree with him, but he did make me re-think my opinions some times.
