1 Death, 2 New Hospitalizations, 223 New Cases Reported
Humboldt County Public Health Laboratory Assistant Lauren Sapienza prepares a master mix used for COVID sample processing.
Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:
Humboldt County Public Health reported today the death of a resident aged 80 or older due to COVID-19. Staff in the Department Operations Center extend their condolences to all who have lost a loved one to the virus.
An additional 223 new cases of COVID-19 were reported, bringing to 12,506 the total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus. Two new hospitalizations, a resident in their 20s and another in their 60s, were also reported.
The California Department of Public Health has updated its guidance on isolation and quarantine for workplace settings aimed at allowing certain vaccinated people to stay working in specific situations if they have been exposed to the virus and don’t develop symptoms.
In workplace settings, employees who are vaccinated and booster-eligible but have not yet received their booster dose and are exposed to someone with COVID can continue to go to work as long as:
- A negative diagnostic test is obtained within three to five days after the last exposure
- The employee wears a well-fitting mask around others for 10 days
- The employee continues to have no symptoms.
When not at work, those employees should stay at home and quarantine.
State health officials have expanded booster eligibility to children aged 12 to 15 if it has been at least five months since they completed their primary vaccination series. Appointments can be made on the state’s updated vaccination portal My Turn.
Public Health continues to monitor the surging case counts that officials say suggest the highly transmissible Omicron variant is rapidly increasing in Humboldt County.
Health officials are continuing to say that hospitalizations, rather than positive case numbers, are the best indicator of how the county is being impacted in the most recent surge of cases. Vaccines and boosters provide an increased level of protection from Omicron, Delta and other variants.
Those individuals who are fully vaccinated or boosted typically develop milder symptoms, shorter illness duration and have fewer hospitalizations and less severe outcomes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rates of hospitalizations by vaccination status, unvaccinated adults are more than 8 times more likely to be hospitalized than those adults who are fully vaccinated. Locally, that number is currently 17 times higher.
Public Health officials continue to stress that residents, especially those who are unvaccinated, continue to protect themselves and their families from all COVID-19 variants by following mask requirements in public settings, socially distancing and getting vaccinated or boosted when eligible to do so.
As always, 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, an 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.
Vaccines, including boosters, are available at local pharmacies. To check the availability of a specific vaccine, visit the vaccines.gov page, or text your ZIP code to 438829 to locate a nearby pharmacy offering vaccines.

O’Reilly, not even there at the Capitol or on the Capitol grounds?? Yeah, and we got a bridge to sell you too.
Cruz also asked if there were any FBI agents present at the January 6 riot or involved in any other way on the grounds of the Capitol. “Not to my knowledge,” replied Jill Sanborn, executive assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Security Branch.
Scientists say half of Europe will catch covid in the next 6-8 weeks and then it’ll be endemic. Why not the same in the USA?
“It would be irrational, legally indefensible, and contrary to the public interest for government to mandate vaccines absent any evidence that the vaccines are effective in stopping the spread of the pathogen…” WSJ
Less than 1% death rate humboldt county, not worth the division.
Some might find this reason to get vaccinated
A MAN has claimed his penis has shrunk by an inch-and-a-half due to Covid, and doctors say it won’t be fixed.
Nikki Minaj’s cousin had a similar situation.
How many people have tested positive for the flu in the last 11 days?
Or Covid and RSV at the same time??
Or “Flurona”?
There’s the Humboldt crud going around. Wife got it, tested covid negative, now I’ve got it a week later. I’ll see if there’s anyplace in town to get tested this morning. I read that even a cold builds immunity to covid so guess there’s good of it.
🕯🌳I’ve got it to. 🖖🖖
The National Guard’s in town! Should be able to get tested instantly.

Oh Joe, say it ain’t so…
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Stacey Abrams is skipping President Biden’s voting rights speech in Georgia on Tuesday because the gubernatorial candidate doesn’t want to be seen with the unpopular president in the state
I am not criticizing Stacey Abrams here. I am making a comment about the political standing of Joe Biden as seen from a woman who’s running for governor of Georgia and wants to win that election,” Scarborough continued. “Politicians show up with presidents when they have 52% approval ratings. Politicians don’t show up with presidents when their approval ratings may be in the 30s in the state where they want to be elected governor.”
Never on topic. No one cares. Blah blah blah.
Even CBS is piling on now…
“Bare shelves, Brandon!”
“Let’s go, Brandon!”
“Bye-bye, Brandon!”
Hooverville’s have left the public discourse… what can we replace that with? I mean the homelessness and suffering of the American populace?
🤔
Oh no… Brandon’s administration…
It’s broken!
Got that darn lamedemic again , couple advils and on my way. Who would test for this lame flu? Who would buy up all the tp? 70 percent of Americans that’s who, crack me up. Run your sick arse all over town trying to find a test kit , so contagious or just panicked people doing the wrong thing. We in trouble.
Imagine still believing this is about your health..lmfao!!
Where is the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated infection rate data? Is that no longer being supplied?
That’s posted on Wednesday or Friday.
The new nationwide rates of hospitalizations are 17 times more likely of unvaccinated and deaths 20 times more likely. Pretty straightforward. The hospitals and morgues will be filled with the unvaccinated at a
Staggering rate.
People have been predicting morgue filled with unvaccinated for about a year now. The virus continues to kill less than 0.5% of the people infected with it. The morgue won’t be filling up anytime soon. Shift to a new hope for a disaster to kill those you wish would disappear
Hell, they were predicting it two years ago, and even showing bogus videos claiming to prove it. The circus never ends.
🤔🧐Pay no attention to the imposter…🤷♂️🤦♂️😁
That “17 times” is not a national number.
It’s a local one.
Nationally it’s only “8 times”.
You can fact check it in the article above…
Not that it’s all that reassuring, if you are from Humboldt.
But the real “Guest” strives for accuracy.
The imposter is obviously going for the alarmist, sensationalist, fear factor, pro-jab, misinformation angle.
But in true Humboldt style the way that they wrote the press release sounds even more alarming…
It makes it sound like if you’re unvaccinated, your chance of hospitalization nationally is 8 times higher than if you’re fully vaccinated, AND, “Locally that number is ’17 times higher ‘.”
17 times higher than 8 times higher?
136 times higher locally? Really?
Holy cow!
This “Guest” imposter is just trying to make me look bad….
🤔🧐The rest of the Country, too, by more than 2 times…😁
(The Hill) — A Texas government study found that unvaccinated people were 20 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than the fully vaccinated throughout most of September, providing further evidence backing the vaccines.
The research, published by the Texas Department of State Health Services on Monday, determined that 81.3% of COVID-19-related deaths between Sept. 4 and Oct. 1 occurred among unvaccinated people. In comparison, 5% of these fatalities occurred among the partially vaccinated, and 13.7% involved fully vaccinated patients.
AUBREY: Yeah. Hospital admissions are near or at record pandemic highs. In some states nationwide, about 18,000 people are being admitted a day. That’s a 50% increase over last week. The CDC says unvaccinated people are 17 times more likely to be hospitalized.
The 17% pulled from an NPR article..
https://www.npr.org/2022/01/10/1071766924/there-is-a-record-number-of-new-covid-cases-as-well-as-hospitalizations
Well, I’m impressed. Texas! Much better than Missouri, where the Governor tried to suppress a study he ordered that masks don’t work, only for the Health Dept came back saying “Yeah, masks do work”.
”God bless Texas”
Seems like the vaxxers would be glad about that supposedly huge unvaxxed death rate. I mean, y’all have been saying, “I hope you get it and die,” or something to that effect, for two years. Now that you’re getting your wish, you’re bitching about it.
The headline on your link tells it all: “…record number of new Covid cases as well as hospitalizations…”. You mean two years of masking up, staying home, treating each other like lepers, sanitizing the shit out of everything, and turning 70% of the country into junkies has had no effect at all??!! Who’d’ve thought?
That’s what we were told two years ago, when no one was vaccinated. Didn’t happen then, won’t happen now.
You sound like shampoo instructions: “Lather, rinse, repeat.”
It is posted on Fridays.
“An additional 223 new cases of COVID-19 were reported, bringing to 12,506 the total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus. Two new hospitalizations, a resident in their 20s and another in their 60s, were also reported.”
Nowhere is the testing METHOD mentioned.
“After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.”
https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html
“In December 2020 the WHO declared that any result from a RT-PCR test that was amplified at a high cycle threshold (CT) e.g. off-guardian.org/2020/12/18/who-finally-admits-pcr-tests-create-false-positives/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow ugc”>above 35 CT is potentially 100% false positive. This leads us to question all the reported ‘cases’ of COVID19 disease in Australia in 2020. This is because Australia has reported that it was using this vaccinationdecisions.net/the-who-declares-australias-pcr-test-results-to-be-100-false-positives/sars-cov2-nat-use-of-pcr-40-45-ct-nsw-health-website/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow ugc”>PCR test at a CT of 40-45 and most of the reported ‘cases’ were people without symptoms.”
https://principia-scientific.com/who-pcr-tests-at-high-ct-probably-all-false-positive/
And IF the PCR test is STILL being used, then WHY and at how many cycles.
So are we being played?
Inquiring minds want to know . . . .
🕯🌳Are these Omicron cases or Delta?🖖🖖
Alpha, it’s crazy people now care which strain of the flu they have, but it is the same crowd that elects an eighty year old to run country, crack me up, we in trouble.
Delta is the dirty old variant, omicron is in vogue and cool.
Looks like The Real Brian was re-incarnated back into Willie Bray.
Caos Mayham been on Humboldt social near a decade
🕯🌳Nope it be me.👁👁🖖🖖
Save and effective!
Ha! I just saw on the news that Canada is going to institute a tax on the unvaccinated, including booze and pot. On the news of the last (the booze and pot), vaccinations have quadrupled.
John Candy was Canadian, if anyway wonders why my comment seems so random.
🕯🌳Hey I said that yesterday. 🖖🖖
Is it just me that finds it ODD that there is never any mention of early preventative treatment?
Why is this OFF the table?
“Ivermectin ‘Works Throughout All Phases’ Of COVID According To Leaked Military Documents”

And you can poo poo Zero Hedge or Project Veritas all you want but the evidence is out there over and over and over if you care to look.
So just WHO stands to gain by delaying or ignoring early treatment?
Ivermectin works! Other countries use it sorry some people can’t admit the truth.
☮️❤️🇺🇸
Many people in this country have used it. It was considered to be a wonder drug until it worked on Covid.
223 cases, how many go unreported? Another 223 or better. 500 cases a day , 15,000 a month, this place flooded with covid. That vaccine stopped covid in its tracks, crack me up. Pfizer got some good sales people, almost as good as the tp sales people .
When you have people like Ian Hoffman on your team, you can move a lot of drugs.
Vaccine stopped this flu alright, crack me up. Who bought that line of bs, older crowd still dying of the flu ,vax or no vax. Younger crowd still surviving the flu vax or no vax.
Pfizer CEO says his vaccine doesn’t work
Speaking during remarks to a J.P. Morgan healthcare conference this week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla openly stated current vaccines the company developed for Wuhan coronavirus offer “limited, if any” protection against contracting current variants of the disease. He then encouraged booster shots.
Many booster shots still need to be sold. That is the only explanation that makes sense anymore. Just like the CDC reducing the isolation times from 10 to 5 days- it was not a medical decision but an economic decision (airline shortage of staffing leading to thousands of cancelled flights and stranded passengers). I think we need to accept the reality that while medical safety is part of the decision-making process so is economics, perhaps the economic part is becoming more important? This is not anti-vaxer conspiracy talk, just straight reasoning…
If the 80+ year old is who I believe it is, it wasn’t a covid death. I just lost a relative who had covid but her death was from other complications not caused by covid, granted covid weakened her, it is not the cause of death and should not be recorded as such.
How the hell could anyone downvote that?
If covid “weakened” her, why is that not a covid death? That she would have died at the same time with or without the infection? Then it didn’t weaken her- it would have irrelevant. The sentence can not be true.
Scientists are seeing signals that COVID-19′s alarming omicron wave may have peaked in Britain and is about to do the same in the U.S., at which point cases may start dropping off dramatically.
The reason: The variant has proved so wildly contagious that it may already be running out of people to infect, just a month and a half after it was first detected in South Africa. At the same time, experts warn that much is still uncertain about how the next phase of the pandemic might unfold
https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-health-washington-pandemics-160ded1ce8d82075057630e11b610358
Yep, better sell that uncertainty. God knows the reality has been a bust.

Now that we have you here in person, Cornpop, did you really let ol’ Sleepy Joe shut you down with a piece of chain all those years ago? ‘Cause he must be one bad-ass SOB.
Oh, hell yeah! It was very apparent Joe was going to be a powerful and influential man in a few decades. In exchange for letting him tell the story of smacking me down, I get quarterly payments from the taxpayers. You know what “pork” is for in all the bills Brandon introduced and voted for, don’t you???
I figured as much, and I’m prepared to keep quiet about it for just a tiny slice of that pie.
I want to know if your still gonna take your elderly mother out shopping when nobody is required to wear masks inside anymore here shortly?
Maybe because my 83 year old mother is healthier than you and looks to be about 50 if you saw her. It’s not about age, it’s about comorbities and age. As Walinsky said, 75% of the deaths are from people with three or more comorbitities. So, we shut society for nothing. What should have occurred is all people with comorbitities and compromised immune systems should have self isolated. Everyone else should have carried on with life. Those carrying on could assist all those who couldn’t with basic necessities and help. But that is too simple for the democrats who exploit tragedies to gain power, hence they insist on locking everyone up and go to town with their dream list of Marxist garbage. Their constituency is already primed for hysterics and think as a collective hive mind so no worries with that. Problem was that the other half of the country isn’t hived up so they ran into a major problem for their evil plans. Evil plans stalled, Brandon sinking, democrat party going down in flames. The future looks brighter now that their collective has been cracked and eventually will be mowed down by individualist Americans who are not gonna bow to their whims. Go America, real science will set you free.
Don’t let Kym hear you talk like that. “Something something grandmothers not suffering fools lightly…”. She lit right into me for suggesting the same thing.

Fauci wriggles like a fish on a hook when questioned about DARPA
“On Monday, Project Veritas released documents showing that an organization called EcoHealth Alliance approached the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (AKA DARPA) seeking funding for its research into SARS viruses in rats, only to be turned down because of DARPA’s gain of function concerns. EcoHealth then turned to Fauci’s NIAID, which seemingly did research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that led to COVID’s spread throughout the world. When quizzed about these documents before the Senate, Fauci denied the charges, but if you listen carefully, he denied a straw man of his own making.”

And,
“Hillary 2024!?With Joe Biden in free fall and Kamala Harris an obvious non-starter as a plausible successor, what can the Democratic Party do? Hey—why not the Hillary Option!?
That’s the position taken in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday by long-time Democratic factotums Douglas Schoen and Andrew Stein, who are almost as long in the tooth as Hillary herself:
Why not? First, never underestimate the narcissism, vanity, malignancy, and sense of entitlement of Hillary Clinton and her entourage. The example of Nixon, coming back from the dead eight years after two humiliating losses, no doubt looms large in her mind. And if Trump runs again? The Epic Rematch of the Universe!
I think Schoen and Stein have blundered badly here. As Steve Bannon/Karl Rove plants, they have floated this idea way too early. They should have waited until the mid-term election blowout. Desperate Democrats will be more receptive then.
Maybe these double-agents have been re-turned, and are now triple-agents, working openly on behalf of Republicans again. There can be no other explanation for this obvious error. Kudos to the Wall Street Journal for tricking them into this unforced error. If error it is. After all, who really want to take any chance that this grasping harridan could get within a million fraudulent ballots of the Oval Office.”

🕯🌳And with Trump not looking strong and steady who would be your alternative choice?🖖🖖
This is the list of technical problems with the document that I found posted by an anonymous person alleging to be active military. I don’t have the knowledge required to verify if its an accurate critique, but I’m not inclined to default to trusting a project Veritas claim at face value.
“The mistakes I see:
Spacing in subject line is off.
From, To, Subj, and Ref texts aren’t lined up
No spacing after references.
Anything that gets sent outside the squadron at my command is typically Times New Roman nowadays. Thought correspondence manual made the switch from Courier New a while ago.
Many abbreviations that aren’t initially spelled out.
From and To texts are all caps when they shouldn’t be.
Subject lines should be all caps
Not sure how it’s laid out but are the references referring to the enclosures after the write up? If that’s the case, “Encl:” would be used instead of “Ref:”. And each enclosure would be labeled with “Enclosure (#)” on the actual document so the reader knows which one he/she is looking at. UPDATE: Took another look and I’m right…references utilize alphabet ordering (Reference (a),(b), etc.) whereas enclosures utilize numbered ordering. This document either incorrectly has references ordered numerically or enclosures in a “Ref:” line.
Author left extra spaces at the top of one of the pages because you can see the significant gap underneath the UNCLASSIFIED header compared to other pages.
I don’t recall the last document I’ve seen with the bland “UNCLASSIFIED” header. Usually we’re more specific nowadays and label “CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION”.
You don’t put “UNCLASSIFIED” in the first page header with the source command next to the seal. That looks absolutely ridiculous.
Doesn’t have an originator code under the date top right first page.
No page numbers in the footer.”
