Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:
Humboldt County Public Health reported today the death of a resident in their 50s from COVID-19. Staff in the Department Operations Center extend their condolences to the families, friends and caregivers of those who have died and all who have lost a loved one to the virus.
Twenty-one new cases of COVID-19 were reported, bringing to 10,100 the total number of residents who have tested positive. Two hospitalizations were also reported, a resident in their 40s and another aged 80 or older.
Public Health officials in the county are continuing to monitor the new Omicron variant as scientists gather data to determine if the rapidly spreading variant causes more serious illness or is better able to evade current vaccine protections.
While there are no known cases of the variant in the U.S., the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is monitoring for the presence of Omicron in the state through a public-private partnership program to detect variants through genetic sequencing.
The CDPH says residents can protect themselves from COVID-19 and the potential spread of variants like Omicron by getting vaccinated, wearing masks indoors, getting tested immediately regardless of vaccination status if any cold- or flu-like symptoms develop, and staying home when sick.
Public Health is continuing to urge all eligible residents to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and is offering family clinics this week that give priority to children aged 5 to 11 and provides family members a convenient way to get first or second doses and boosters.
All eligible adults aged 18 and older are encouraged to get a booster. Health officials also stress that those who are partially vaccinated should complete their vaccination series. Someone who is fully vaccinated is half as likely to pass on the infection as someone who is unvaccinated. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an unvaccinated person is nearly six times more likely to get COVID-19 and 14 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than a vaccinated person.
Vaccines, including boosters, are available at local pharmacies. To check the availability of a specific vaccine, visit the vaccines.gov page, or text a ZIP code to 438829 to locate a nearby pharmacy offering vaccines.
Humboldt County’s vaccination and testing services are available free of charge. Although walk-ins are allowed at most regular Public Health clinics and many pharmacy vaccination sites, a sharp increase in demand for boosters has caused delays at some locations. As a result, appointments are required for pediatric clinics and for clinics at Public Health’s main office. Appointments are strongly recommended for all other clinics and are the best way to ensure a shot is available during your visit. Appointments can be made at MyTurn.ca.gov.

🎅🎅Its starting to look like someone ran over that dead snunk in the middle of the road. 🦸♂️🦸♂️sorry for any misspelling. 👍🏽
I hear you Loudon & clear!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu5hzc2Mei4
judge rules Biden’s health care vaccine mandate is illegal. Can health care employers still legally require the vaccination?
🎅🎅And that that means what to me?☃️☃️
Whether our health care system will have the staffing to provide care when you need it?
Few cases here yet “Sad Little Man” Fauci acts like the sky is falling (AGAIN!)
Yes but they are reporting another 50 year old died, unless they are reporting the same death twice. And the positivity rate has gone up. Today it’s 14.893617%.
What percent increase in positivity day to day?
Well yesterday was I believe 13%. The past week it was a 12.28% average. But I wouldn’t take those numbers to seriously as an indicator of things
The numbers are all bull shit
60,000+ Dr’s and health officials say government handling of covid was is a joke
Overall cases have increased as well. It’s here. Go with the odds.
What I don’t understand, is how, on the one hand, it looks like the vaccine isn’t going to work on it, and even Moderna’s Rep said that, yet, on the other, they tell everyone that their best bet is to get vaccinated???
So its,
OMG!, The massively mutated Omicron variant isn’t even here yet!
It’s likely much more contagious! And the vaccines probably aren’t even going to work against it!
But, don’t panic!
It might be totally mild!
So, everyone better hurry and get your vaccinations and boosters right now, before it’s too late!
So are we up to four or five shots now?
I hear the mutated Omicron likes little kids and babies. Can anyone confirm?
Lol!
Three. Many vaccines require more than one shot. Doesn’t tetanus require four? Polio three?
Beside covid reinfections are up too. Not many places keep track but Oklahoma does. “The latest state epidemiology report shows the coronavirus has reinfected almost 4,700 vaccinated and unvaccinated Oklahomans so far this month, and reinfections have risen more than 300% since May. ” https://www.publicradiotulsa.org/local-regional/2021-09-24/covid-reinfections-have-jumped-300-since-may
So maybe meme, however simple they are, are not so clever after all.
If the vaccinated are being reinfected, maybe the vaccines are not so effective after all.
“While the number of reinfections is lower, the rate of repeat cases is double the rate of breakthrough infections.”
Of course they are testing the unvaxxed at 1000x the unvaxxed, so the quote you posted means jack diddly.
More misinformation.
Well said.
Omicron has landed in San Francisco.
Well, we will have to assume they were vaccinated. No other reason not to provide the information.
Exactly.
Except for the inconvenient history that it has been mostly the unvaccinated.
Actually closer to 50%.
More misinformation.
Try focusing on other causes of death, because numbers and statistics are manipulated to give the impression that children are more at risk from hunger, traffickers, malnutrition, diabetes, cancer, and believe it or not car ACCIDENTS.
Death is guaranteed, a good life is not.
https://www.advisory.com/en/daily-briefing/2018/12/21/child-death
Ah,,, if there could only be such easy help as vaccination for “hunger, traffickers, malnutrition, diabetes, cancer, and believe it or not car ACCIDENTS.”
This is a bit of an interview from with him. Doesn’t sound like he’s saying they”sky is falling” at all. He’s saying they are looking at it.
“And, importantly, as we’re getting information from our South African colleagues, when you do get infected with this, is it a severe disease, or is it only very — a very mild disease?
So it could be a highly transmissible virus without severe consequences, or not. We don’t know that. And that’s the reason why the president very appropriately said, we’re concerned, we’re paying very close attention to it, but that, really, we should not be panicking about it. ”
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/dr-fauci-on-vaccine-efficiency-against-omicron-variant-travel-ban-testing-and-more
So why is Biden considering a week long quarantine for Americans coming home from travel abroad, vaccinated or not? They don’t even quarantine unvaccinated southern border crossers
Get a clue nooo!! Fear is a mind killer, the government is spreading fear. We’re you amongst the millions cheering for Cuomo as he sentenced the elder to death in nursing homes?
Yet fear is the anti vaxxer/conspiracist sole focus in existence. Are you cheering when every unvaccinated person dies from covid because you know they were exercising their right of choice? Try a little rational thinking.
Yes, people are cheering covid deaths.
Thanks for the rational thoughts.
The sad little man starting to look a little nervous.
Fauci represents science, so when you mock Fauci, you’re actually mocking science.
Connie, you have drank way to much of the cool-aid.
He’s certainly the focus of the anti-vaccine and anti-mask partians attention. Maybe that is what he meant by that remark.
Why would people focus on the guy responsible for the pandemic, or the fact that he lied about maskings effectiveness. Silly antivaxxers.
A better indicator of things is this. The Dow dropped another 652 points. Oil is at $69.92 a barrel, down from $85 a barrel a week ago. Nothing like a little panic to stir things up
I wish they would change the stock photo of the dude in the bed. To depressing. The photo of the atomic model of the SARS-CoV-2 was pretty cool.
At least he’s stable.
🎅🎅Agreed. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
I know. Sad seeing a fully vaccinated person stuck in time like that.
Good. I hope the entire thing crashes hard. We need deflation. People currently becoming homeless and having to move away from centers with job openings are the ones now paying for stock excesses and asset (housing) inflation.
Not only that, but it seems to have fallen after the FED declared less goodies (tapering) for the market. About time. They have been buying mortgage back securities for large corporations who are getting loans based on their stocks as collateral. And people wonder why housing costs are going up. No one even knows what percentage of housing is now owned by investment corporations. Or how much of that is even used- or empty.
Those radical republicans broke into the wrong building as far as I’m concerned.. Might have bypassed a lot of polarity if they’d have chosen the FED reserve.
Yep and when that collapses the Fed will once again step in to bail them out. It’s a rigged game
At some point there’s pitchforks. I mean torches.. They’re a little touchy about that right now. Otherwise people would never have gotten any crumbs. It’s not covered much in the news but both left and right have brought mock guillotines to their protests. Too much bloodsucking could cause a common cause instead of inflated divisions.
” It’s a rigged game”
I thought you liked socialism.
“They have been buying mortgage back securities for large corporations”
They have been buying US Treasuries as well, BIG TIME. And when they eat shit on those treasuries when it all crashes, we the taxpayer, will be stuck with the bill.
Wall Street is just legalized gambling and we pay the price when the “fat cats” lose
That is most relevant thing you’ve ever said
“I hope the entire thing crashes hard. We need deflation”
It will. However, the [edit] in the White House response will be to print more money. You will get more inflation. Then they will blame the producers/capitalism and implement price controls which will exacerbate the problem. The useful idiots (Democrats) will demand more of what caused the problem in the first place-government/socialism. This movie is tired.
There is no difference between the official parties except for public relations and dogma.
More oversight needed.
Less of our tax dollars spent by people who aren’t responsible for waste.
Time to pull the CREDIT CARD
The drop today wasn’t due to the virus. The fed spoke about tapering. You’r thinking about last weeks little hiccup.
U mean the 900 points last Friday? Combine that with today’s drop you get about a 1200 point drop, subtracting the 300 gain yesterday. Pretty big hiccup if u ask me
This from today’s WSJ: Stocks Drop on Omicron Worries, Powell Warning
A retreat in global stock indexes and energy prices intensified Tuesday, reflecting jitters over the impact of a new Covid-19 variant and rising inflation
Yep 900 points last Friday. The market was only open half the day. Most humans weren’t trading.
The machines and algos drilled it pretty good.
Today was Big J Pow. I think he forgot to use the word transitory. Lol
Tomorrow will be green.
Although it is starting to look like a Jimmy Carter market.
Serious traders actualy make more money with volatility. It’s more mom and pops and 401k’s that get hit in bear markets.
It may have started green but dropping like a rock off a high cliff now. 330 down to 150. Oil at $66 a barrel. Lets see if gasoline prices follow.. Yea when pigs fly,
Update at 1:00 PM Pacific
It seems like a toss up but the tapering thing is what they’re worrying about more right now. Hundreds of billions have gone into negative real interest loans for the wealthy to acquire vast amounts of property that mere humans cannot touch. Including residential. Their money faucet could get slowed down. Because pitchforks. Biden had a little talk with powell before powell’s talk for the FED. Yes.. key word is “little”, but it was still a talk.
Love it when the stock market drops. I’d like to see a 20-30% contraction. Excellent time to get quality and yield at bargain prices.
. “Oil is at $69.92 a barrel,”
So I guess the evil capitalist “speculators” decided to lose money this week?
You can also go “short”. It’s called hedging your bets. Hedge funds. Believe me they won’t lose money. As was stated earlier the big boys make money in this type of mkt. At times the Mkt is driven by fear and panic. People again are seeking simple answers to complex questions
Yet gas continues to go up.
Yep
I’m not convinced all the government measures infringing on our freedoms cut even half the deaths compared to if we’d done nothing but go on with our lives. Was that worth $6 trillion deficit spending, growth of authoritarian government, increased mental health and substance abuse problems, and literal economic dependency adopted by the millions that haven’t bothered returning to work?
Spot on
🎅🎅Boy your really trying to get people to believe that Democrats are the authoritarian party when it was Trump that went around and buddy up to all the authoritarian leaders then got played by each one. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
I have a hard time believing Trump got played by anyone except the career politicians in Washington and the corrupt government agency’s. Considering the fact that Trump’s mind is still very much intact would be hard to play I say. You say he got played by foreign leaders. If Trump got played then we are totally fucked with Biden. Brain dead Biden is like a player piano. Anybody can play. Lol Biden 50+ yrs in Washington and done nothing but get himself and his entire family wealth off the over taxed working poor Americans. Biden should be in an old folks home eating Jello and groping female staff. Instead of running this country right into the ground. Trump is a lot of things and I’m not a huge fan of his. But when a president plays by the so called rules basically every president except the early one’s= not good for the people. When a president doesn’t play by the rules like Trump= good for the people. I like Trump because he stirred up the shit in Washington. Four years the entire government did nothing but try to get Trump out of office. Do you think that’s because he was bad for the people or bad for the corrupt career politicians and agency heads in Washington? This is the ramblings of a regular guy with two eyes and two ears, a open mind and a lot of common sense. I’m not saying you are wrong and I am right or trying to troll you or disrespect you in any way you no I’m just saying
🎅🎅You have your right to your opinion and I respect that. ☃️☃️
Half of the deaths in the US is 380,000.
Shows how intelligent vaxers are with math. Double is roughly 1.5 mill…. so we potentially saved 750k deaths is what’s he saying.
Now I see why vaxers can’t make rationally decisions on a non linear equation. Can’t even compute basic stats.
🤩🐸🦥
We have a winner
And your point is? Almost 3 million die each year so you’re talking 10%
To those who understand, no explanation is needed. To those who don’t, no explanation is possible. Whenever conspiracists become willing to discuss measured responses and relative good, then maybe…
But you won’t actually engage in good faith duscussion. You’ve presented a number of arguments that hinged on your being incorrect. When shown your errors you just leave the conversation and retreat to petty disparagements toward an amorphous group You’ve been trained to dehumanize
Relative good – cost vs benefit – that’s what I’m talking. What’s the price society willingly pays to save a couple hundred thousand and why for covid and not other causes of death?
Conspiracists is what? Anyone who doesn’t believe everything the government and their lying media mouth piece says. If I think there’s a lot of conspiracists out there and the number is growing more each day.
Everything is a 5 alarm fire in our culture.
Groundhog Tuesday…

Medical advances now make a 15 wk fetus viable outside the womb. Surely we wouldn’t legalize euthanasia of viable babies. Anyway, SCOTUS will decide. I personally believe life begins with the first cell division but that’s just me.
🎅🎅Over population, hunger, over burden welfare systems, over burden health care systems, wars and death if they strike it down. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
Are you referring to our immigration problem or the abortion case allowing free choice in the first 15 weeks of pregnancy?
🎅🎅Now your trying to cloud the issue. You know what we we’re talking about. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
Did you get that “data” from the Governor of Mississippi?
Citation please, from actual medical sources.
Isn’t 15 weeks long enough to exercise the right to choose? Why are 3rd trimester abortions necessary? It’s gruesome to kill a beating heart.
🎅🎅Like with the vaccine it should be a freedom of choice for the women not a collective group of religious fanatics. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
No one every caught pregnancy from someone else. And there is no fanatic busy repeating doomsday conspiracies and misinformation about pregnancy.
Isn’t every pregnancy caught from someone else? Also, the mainstream medical narrative around pregnancy and birth (that they amount to medical emergencies that necessitate medical, and often surgical, intervention inherently) certainly qualify as “doomsday conspiracies and misinformation about pregnancy” in my book.
And those are busily repeated by the same fanatics that want to inject children with experimental therapeutics for a disease that isn’t a threat to them.
🎅🎅But what gives them the right to tell a woman what to do with her own body?🦸♂️🦸♂️
The law under review includes freedom of choice to get an abortion for 15 weeks. Why isn’t that enough time? Babies feel pain when the abortionist stabs them in the head after 15 weeks
🎅🎅Some don’t even know especially in rape.🦸♂️🦸♂️
Frankly the issue is not stopping abortions. They will happen. It’s just whether they are done in back alleys or in a medical setting.
And whether the wealthy can fly to some place where they can get it done.
Omnicron

Somebody in a lab somewhere must have looked at the flashing red light……..

Recent poll results 72% of Americans believe it’s likely (42% very likely) covid accidently leaked from Wuhan lab, China is lying about it, and reparations are due.
And how do you feel about those reparations if Covid19 escaped from America?
How could it “escape” in the US and be first detected in China? If covid originated in the US then it was intentionally transferred to Wuhan, perhaps as the original strain they were using for the gain of function research funded by Fauci (according to NIH)
Should the US pay reparations for the “Spanish” Flu? Which most likely originated in the US (the first confirmed cases were here anyway)? At least that is a leading theory (Maybe I should say hypothesis).
Maybe if the Spanish Flu wasn’t over a 100 years ago. A little late to assess damages now.
🎅🎅BRAVO. ☃️☃️
There are a dozen places around the world where “confirmed cases” of Spanish Flu were first recorded. I’ve read a good case for Russia being first. But the point is not that place of origin owes the world. It’s whether the disease was a deliberate concoction that was human made. In other words if someone was actually liable.
Good luck with figuring it out. China (nor any other nation else for that matter) is never going to allow enough access to know. And even if they did, it would not stop conspiracists who are mentally incapable of letting it go.
Conspiracists must be word of the day in MSM.
If they created it in a lab, yes!
🎅🎅Why isn’t it possible? Americans and other nations were working in the lab at the same time. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
While it may have happened, the fact that 42%/72% of Americans believe it’s likely doesn’t mean it’s factual.
A few years ago I came across a poll that showed 41% of Americans believed (strongly or slightly) that humans and dinosaurs coexisted.
65% of Americans believe they are above average in intelligence.
Wow that’s better than I would have guessed
Money is based in belief tho. Donu use money?
Omicron has been living in a small studio in Greenwich Village NY. He has been existing doing small off off Broadway plays. “Though I have become well known in South Africa and traveled thru Europe, I have yet to be discovered in the US. But I am sure to be discovered soon as I am very talented and fast moving its only a matter of time. ” Keep an eye out for this rising star folks…
