SoHum School District Offering Free at Home COVID Testing for Students; Pick Up Your Kit Tomorrow

SHUSD flyerPress release from Southern Humboldt Unified School District:

FREE AT-HOME RAPID TEST KITS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PICK-UP FOR ALL SHUSD STUDENTS! TOMORROW!!!
REDWAY SCHOOL – 10:00-12:00 pm
ALDERPOINT FIRE HALL 1:00-2:00 pm

We hope all of our families had a wonderful winter break and are enjoying the blessings of this season.

As winter break comes to a close, the rise in COVID-19 cases caused by the Omicron variant is an important reminder that we need to continue to work together to do all we can to keep our schools safe. To this end, the California Department of Education is urging every eligible person to get the COVID-19 vaccine and booster. In addition, the California Department of Education is joining with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to recommend that all school children access COVID-19 testing as they return to school following the holiday break.

K-12 At Home Test Distribution

While there is no associated statewide requirement to have a documented negative test prior to returning to school, the CDE is working with CDPH to increase access to no-cost, at-home COVID-19 antigen tests by distributing kits through county offices of education.

FREE AT-HOME TESTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PICK-UP TOMORROW!!! JANUARY 2nd!!! AT REDWAY SCHOOL AND AT [ALDERPOINT] FIRE HALL!

While we know this is short notice, Southern Humboldt USD has just received COVID-19 at-home rapid test kits that are available for our students to use prior to returning to school after the winter break.

To participate, please complete the online request form at
https://forms.gle/8VjBZc5JWLNJB8mG6

If you do not want to participate, you do not need to complete the request form. Participation is voluntary.

We ask that you report a positive result to the school. If you are unable to complete the online request form, tests will still be given out to any currently enrolled student(s). NO STUDENT(S) WILL BE DENIED AT-HOME TESTS!

In addition, Southern Humboldt Unified School District will have a regular schedule for Diagnostic Testing for COVID-19 for students and staff during the coming semester. “We will start having regular testing for any students that want or whose parents want them to be tested,” Tori Miclette told us.

Somebody made a smart move getting those tests. This is what I love about small communities. Instead of complaining about the situation they went out and did something about it. Where there is a will, there is a way..

Seriously, and the tests are junk and retired as of 12/31/21 because they don’t differentiate between sars Covid and influenza or active infection vs residual antibodies from ANY previous corona virus. Of course the CDC and AI Google fact scrubbers have reworded, whitened and brightened the explanation behind the phase out.

Instead of wasting resources testing everyone over and over, it would be more effective to simply require everyone to line up and get vaccinated.

Either that or we could just throw out training and competency requirements for all testing personnel, and just make all lab tests available to anyone! Anytime!

There is a reason for having Doctors and Nurses and Med Techs and X-Ray techs and Respiratory Techs… These people have educational and training requirements, and, most of them know what they are doing…

Putting testing materials into the hands of the great unwashed is just silly, and testing asymptomatic patients repeatedly is a useless and futile endeavor.

If you are sick, stay home. The schools have been opened prematurely, and large gatherings of all kinds should be prohibited until the vaccination rate is over 95%.

We can start by requiring anybody benefiting from federal or state funds to be vaccinated! If you are on SDI, AFDC, Medi-Cal, MediCare, Social Security, or PERS Pensions, you should be vaccinated as a requirement or receiving funds…

Schools should only be attended by persons who have had their vaccines, 2 initial and a booster! Otherwise, just stay at home…

“Lab on a stick” is a stupid way to waste money, and the next question should be “How accurate is this test in the hands of the average user?”

On Joe Rogan, Dr Robert Malone suggests we are living through a mass formation psychosis.

He explains how and why this could happen, and its effects.

He draws analogy to 1920s/30s Germany “they had a highly intelligent, highly educated population, and they went barking mad”

Cool idea if we were talking about a vaccine that induced actual and reliable immunity. We aren’t. Furthermore the PTB are not hiding the fact that Omicron readily eludes what meager and short-lived immunity the vaccines do offer. At this point odds are about the same vaxxed or not. Back to basics: vit C , D , zinc, saline nasal /throat rinses, low intake of processed crap like bread, noodles, fried KFC… you know, hippy conspiracy behaviors .

Pretty much just genetics, you were either born tough or born to rely on drugs. KFC all day long ,all life long, all my ancestors lived drug-free ,doctor free into their 90s no matter how crappy they treated their bodies . Sometimes it just comes down to good genes. If you were born weak, get the vax , if not , carry on.

You dint realize that the vaccine for omicron has basically o percent efficacy and could even have negative efficacy because of t-cell repression after shots.

Please stop spreading completely fake information.

Pfizer has had more legal trouble than any other drug manufacturer.

These studies have huge incentives that give research facilities from 20-100 mill. To do research.

Hospitals have huge incentives for claiming covid deaths, ventilators and cases.

Anybody who has a different opinion is silenced. These are famous epidemiologist. Not just a few many.

Many doctors are losing licenses because of this.

This beyond being human imo.

I will pick up a test kit and perhaps utilze it. Though first you MUST tell ME and OTHERS, what is the FALSE POSITIVE and FALSE NEGATIVE window of variance; our government has pathetically told you to trust their injections and trust their testing. I could only do so as a scientist, if this information is released to the public. See, MIS-INFORMATION goes two ways, buddy-boy. Until I hear the truth and scientific facts, I could not trust a test nor its results, until the accurate data is released. This would of coarse include the failure rate of any test. This is done by any true scientist that looks at facts instead of FEELINGS. You have a long damn way to go before I could trust the sliver of information…..I’m not an idiot though I see alot of blind trusting the blind. Wow.

And let’s all remember that:

A computer program will be used to screen patients, in the not too distant future… The average “Family Practice” provider, these days will most likely be a person who has never seen the inside of a “Medical School”… A bit of software could do as good a job as an NP or the average PA…

Then you will be directed to go to the lab, go to the ER, or go to the CVS and pick up your “medication”, right off the shelf!

Doing lab tests at home is a form of mental onanism, and a test with an error rate of 25+% is useless, even before you open the box!

Testing for COVID has made some people rich, and some of them are con-artists who built phony laboratories and who are now charging your government for tests which are never performed at all!

Get vaccinated, and remember, Donald Trump didn’t invent the vaccine, the tests, the paper masks etc, but his friends, the other billionaires, probably did…

Mass vaccination events are out only hope, and you should have to show proof of vaccination, to receive any tax refund also…

If you are sick, stay home. Testing people who are not sick is ridiculous.

Never forget – right now there’s probably a vaxxer sitting in an ER wondering why his heart feels like it’s going to explode…

And the doctors won’t have any “explanation” for him.

If only they had listened!!

Never forget- Most people in the ER are the unvaccinated wondering why they didn’t get the vaccine and most of the people dying of Covid are unvaccinated.

And doctors must tell them when they’re dying and begging for the vaccine that’s it’s too late.

If only they had listened!!

Joe Rohan said that if Michelle Obama ran for President he’d vote for her.
Treason !!! Time to censor Joe!!

I can’t believe you honestly think the way you do. Line people up? Remove their rights?Withhold taxes? This is America, maybe you should move to a country where the people have no freedom or rights. People who believe that only their way of thinking or doing things is right way and the one true answer are delusional and sound like a cult leader. Covid is never going away, vaccinated or not you can and likely will still catch it. Until they create a vaccine that actually stops people from getting it I’ll be going the natural defense route. I have had it, fought it and won on my own, no ones lining me or anyone else up for anything ever against their will. Quit charging me tax and I’ll quit asking for it back, I’d gladly accept that. The day Americans loose the freedom of choice is likely the same day that causes a civil war to erupt. Let’s honor each other’s choices and fight together, not against each other.

You are living in a dream world…

COVID will likely mutate into a form less infectious, and those who refuse to be vaccinated will receive “vaccination”, through infection and recovery, or through infection and expiration…

The purpose of the vaccine is to help to reduce the hospitalization of infected people, and to give the elderly and the people with co-occuring conditions a better chance to survive the epidemic.

People are not perfect, and, we don’t last forever, so stop asking for a lifetime immunity from one dose!

We had to line people up to defeat Polio. Do you want to get Polio? Isn’t it wonderful that Polio was eradicated?

We can’t eradicate COVID, but we can keep you or someone else out of the hospital, which is a pretty dangerous place to be at all, for patients and for healthcare workers…

If you want to go un-vaccinated, then stay home from school, and from gatherings.

Choosing to run the unnecessary risk of infection, is extremely unsound thinking… You can get a free vaccine that will make you 21 times less likely to be hospitalized!

How can you not take odds like that?

Don’t be a fool. Get vaccinated.

For a virus that is different than what the vaccine was made for? Sounds like a really dumb analysis of risk vs reward.

It is you that should stay home and hide in fear. If your that worried about it you best stay in your doomsday prepper basement for a few years . Ranting about people refusing to take an experimental drug that isn’t really working is insane. You make your choice I’ll make mine. You do what you need to to feel safe, your body your choice,my body my choice. Why you choose to preach to people about something you do not know is beyond me, no one really knows the real answer to this problem, but unlike you I respect other peoples decisions. I fully support you staying home until this is all over for your own safety.😂😂

Get vaxxed so I can get my tax refund, crack me up . How about I get vaxxed and I don’t pay taxes for a year. Tax refund, that’s as much as a joke as covid.

Millions have their “Withholding Tax” as their only “savings account”…

Your comment is offensive, and few make their living “off the books” like Humboldt County Pot Farmers (HCPF)…

You, Mr Ranger, are special, and I hope you have buried a lot of Krugerrand out on the back 40…

I recently read that 30% of Seniors have “no savings” for “retirement”…

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are “flipping houses” down in Calabasas or wherever…

Sorry if I offend you , but I pay income taxes every year, and never get a refund. I probably pay more taxes than most in Humboldt make, I support local businesses and local families, I pump millions of dollars from outside of this county ,into this county every year. I am not affiliated with drugs in anyway. Pro-tip never give the government any money you plan on getting back, as I’ve always said , never met a politician I could trust . I find it offensive you rush to call me a drug dealer, I am just the opposite, crack me up.

Well, then, you are an enigma…

Sorry but I can’t imagine what you do to bring in millions, while paycheck-slaves salivate over their refunds…

I myself do not believe in paying taxes, if you don’t have to, but all my income is “passive”, and I don’t really think I will be paying much in taxes again…

I am glad you are doing so well, in your mystery business…

I’ll just leave this in the non fiction section.

“VACCINATION CARD
Hello.
-Hi, table for two, please.
-Sure, and your name.
-Michelle
-Great. And do you and your guest have your vaccination cards?
-Hmmm well first..Can you tell us who our server will be?
-Um, looks like Brad will be your server tonight.
-Great. Can you show us Brad’s vaccination card?
-Um…
-And also, can you provide me with proof that Brad is not a carrier of HIV, Hepatitis A or B, or any other communicable diseases? Same for you and the kitchen staff. 
-Um…
-Also, we would prefer not to be served by someone who is on or uses recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, etc, so if you could provide us with Brad’s most recent tox screen, that would be great. Matter of fact, imma need to see all of your employees medical history. 
-Um… Let me get the manager for you.
-That would be great, thanks. Make sure they have their vax card and medical records please. 
Here’s the thing, nobody needs restaurants. And other places. But they need us. Start standing your ground.”

Stolen and passing along.
