1 Death, 1 New Hospitalization, 119 New Cases
Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:
Humboldt County Public Health reported today the death of a resident in their 70s due to COVID-19. Staff in the Department Operations Center extend their condolences to all who have lost a loved one to the virus.
One new hospitalization, a resident in their 60s was reported. An additional 119 new cases were also reported, bringing to 17,509 the total number of confirmed positive cases for the virus locally.
Local health officials have indicated the county is showing early signs that it is past the recent peak of the record-high COVID-19 cases. However, community transmission and confirmed cases remain high and officials caution that a high point in hospitalizations tends to lag a few weeks after the peak in cases.
Residents, particularly those who are not vaccinated, are encouraged to take protective measures such as washing hands frequently, wearing a well-fitted mask approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), distancing six feet from others when possible and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces. The state remains under a mandatory mask requirement order in all indoor public spaces through Feb. 15.
COVID-19 vaccines remain effective against the virus, but CDC data shows their effectiveness at preventing infection or severe illness wanes over time, especially in people aged 65 or older. With the recent emergence of the Omicron variant, the CDC and other public health officials are recommending eligible individuals aged 12 and older receive a booster, which increases the immune response and provides additional protection against infection and severe disease.
While vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals are both at high risk to get Omicron, the risk of severe outcomes for those who are unvaccinated remains significantly higher. According to the latest data from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), unvaccinated people are eight times more likely to get COVID-19, 13 times more likely to be hospitalized from COVID-19 and 22 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those who are vaccinated with a booster.
The CDPH recommends individuals stay home and away from others and get tested if they become sick or experience COVID-19 symptoms, which may include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue or muscle aches. COVID-19 symptoms often mimic common cold or flu illnesses.
As always, Humboldt County’s vaccination and testing services are available free of charge. While walk-ins are allowed at all Public Health clinics and some pharmacy vaccination sites, appointments are strongly recommended for all vaccinations 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.

Denver just dropped all covid restrictive requirements (masks, vaccine proof etc) due to low omicron serious case rates. It’s over, people, time to get back to normal. If anyone is feeling poorly and possibly contagious, let’s hope they isolate at home. Anyone that’s fearful is free to stay at home as well.
The omicron wave is overwhelming hospitals, causing staffing shortages and forcing business closures

Why omicron is crushing hospitals — even though cases are often milder than delta.
Severe symptoms primarily hit two groups: the unvaccinated and the immunocompromised
As with the delta surge, doctors say the patients who are primarily filling up their hospitals and getting the sickest are the unvaccinated.

Covid is weak excuse for the flu if your under 65. The vaccine is just another useless flu shot , how many got booster shots? Crack me up, the gig is up. Nothin left but dramaqueens .
Headline from 2020; just swap out the variant.
CNN? That’s your news source? They’ve lost 90% of their audience since last year but gf still believes them.
CNN? NPR is not CNN. KCRA is not CNN. And it could come from the buttend of a camel if it’s true.

Dakin Andone, CNN
Over the weekend, at least five metro Atlanta school districts announced they would shift to
And NPR? Like I said source doesn’t matter if it’s true and it was true. Can you prove it wasn’t true? If so post a f***ing link with the information.
And actually the NPR article is better because it’s a later date.
NPR was a decent news source 4 years ago, now they sell drama like every other network.
Car Talk was the only truthful source of useful information on the entire network.
Getting a little testy, heh. Depressed cuz your narrative is failing and like Gollum, the ring is slippping from your fingers? Bummer dude.
Link please
I thought it was over last June 15th when Gavin Newsom announced that “California was open” from the Vax To Win stage at Universal Studios.
I can’t imagine still believing hospital’s are overwhelmed. You…are…adorable
Pretty much everything Fauci and his cabal has forced upon us has proven wrong. The 2020 lockdown cost $6 trillion in federal spending for the economy to recover but only saved one or two thousand lives. I remember them saying it was a matter of millions of dead. History won’t reflect well on Fauci and all the other chicken littles
He belongs in a museum.
Except for schools and child care centers.
Also, Colorado is one of the states that has passed the 70% fully vaccinated for all population. Has been for quite awhile. Oregon just passed it a couple of days ago. California is *this* close.
Note that that is just Denver, which has over 77% fully vaccinated in that city/county.
I’m not alone…
Seventy percent of respondents agreed with the statement, “It’s time we accept that Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives,” when asked in a Monmouth University poll.
You need to post a link or it’s just your opinion. Ms Kemp has asked you to do that and you keep ignoring her. Why are you hiding where you get your information from?
It’s a PITA for him. I understand that.
They are commonly called acronyms, but there’s a more specific term that’s used by linguists and people who like being precise about these things: initialism. Acronyms like ‘scuba’ (“self-contained underwater breathing apparatus”) are pronounceable as words.
The term is called inititalism

Attestation there…
” in a Monmouth University poll”
Don’t care. It’s just common courtesy to provide a link. Why make me go look it up? You have the ability to do it.
And I went back and looked you have posted several articles without either link or atteststion since Ms Kemp told you to
I posted the link in a fraction of the time you’ve been fussing over it.
Here is something you and Neil Young may have in common.
“I’m not into organized religion. I’m into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we’re all just part of nature.”

So Young thinks he is the creator.
That’s what I thought.
Must be pretty common.
Birds of a feather.
Keep that scorecard and let me know where we’re at next week.
Monmouth University is a private university in West Long Branch, New Jersey. Founded in 1933 as Monmouth Junior College, it became Monmouth College in 1956 and Monmouth University in 1995 after receiving its charter. Wikipedia
I should do a survey asking how many people have heard of Monmouth University and where its located.
Beating a dead horse?
Mountain out of a molehill??
Calling the kettle black
You should do a survey, asking,”who cares?”.
Call around dinner time.
That’s twice you said you don’t care, so you must care
Seems to me you were just recently complaining about dinnertime phone surveys…
Now, suddenly, you’re considering performing one?
Now who’s backpedaling?
Sounds really considerate, speaking of caring.
No need, do your own research, he isn’t your personal Google or medical library. You gots two hands and two feet, get going.
You don’t have to look it up to dismiss it out of hand.
You could always threaten to go elsewhere if you don’t get your way. That might work.
Posts with verifying links often get dumped in the garbage instead of posting. So that is a waste of time.
It’s really not that hard to copy key words from any claim, or as in this situation add ” Monmouth university” to find the validation your looking for.
Unfortunately, lots of supposition being passed off as gospel. Critical thinking is dead.
Dang here’s a link,
The Monmouth University survey, released Monday, found that 70 percent of U.S. adults agree with the statement “It’s time we accept that COVID is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives.”
Most Americans don’t think the health crisis will be solved anytime soon. Roughly one-third of those polled said it will take longer than the end of the year to control the outbreak and return to pre-pandemic life. Plus, 28 percent of Americans said they don’t think the country will ever get the outbreak under control and be able to return to normal.

??Ah no herd immunity so we live with it. ??
Like the common cold. Advances to pneumonia for a few but a quick recovery without hospitalization for nearly all. The sky was never falling, just Chicken Littles running around with their heads cut off.
??But for months you and group of merry huh huh whatevers were pushing herd immunity. ??
You mean Fauci? Yes I remember, first he said 70% vaccinated would give herd immunity. He then admitted that he was lying and moved the goal post….
One of his admitted lies.
This from the Monmouth article…
“The findings come as the Omicron variant continues to plague the country. While case numbers are falling nationally after reaching record-setting peaks earlier this month, hospital systems remain overwhelmed and deaths are totaling roughly 2,500 per day..”
LOL…. Monmouth surveyed 794 U.S. adults by telephone between January 20 and 24. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Any information about who they surveyed?
I see now why he didn’t want to post the link
Who cares.
?
No need for him to prove anything to you. Do your own dam research.
So did Denmark. So has Ferndale.
??Hmmmmmm. ??
From omicron covid 19 or earlier variants?
I ain’t your f…ing secretary!
What an original line
Good one! So from just past variants?
I ain’t your f***ing secretary. Do your own research and post a link with it.
Getting madder and madder, you better sit down and relax before you keel over and stroke out, all alone at home. Headstone reads, keeled over arguing with an unknown person about inconsequential surveys which effect nobody and mean nothing in the scheme of life.
The jokes on you, you just don’t know it…
From the sounds of it, neither are you!
Bwah

Probably SINCE 2019.

According to the latest local data, case rates are virtually identical.

About sums up people succumbing to the hysteria and taking an experimental shot. Unfortunately for some they won’t be able to repent as their health will fail due to the shot. Never trust a bureaucrat who works for the cdc, they do not have your best interests at heart, only their own bank accounts matter. Thanks for the timely quote from Dylan, it fits perfectly with the times.

Johns Hopkins as in not an anti-vaxxer/conspiracy site.
Johns Hopkins report:
Lockdowns did not work.
The Washington Times has a blockbuster story today, on a report from the highly respected Johns Hopkins University, that the draconian lockdowns has little for no impact on the Coronavirus.
“Lockdowns in the U.S. and Europe had little or no impact in reducing deaths from COVID-19, according to a new analysis by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. The lockdowns during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020 reduced COVID-19 mortality by about 0.2%, said the broad review of multiple scientific studies. “We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality,” the researchers wrote.”
KABC’s Armstrong and Getty discussed the shocking ramifications of this report this morning…hear it here: https://omny.fm/shows/cumulusla/armstrong-and-getty-johns-hopkins-says-lockdowns-d

2020’s covid lockdowns only saved 800 lives? I’m not surprised with all the extra suicides and drug overdoses
Looks that way, doesn’t it?
And look at all the damage it did.
Everyone in Ca. should send the report to Gavin, so he can’t pretend he doesn’t know about it.
That works out to $5 billion federal deficit spending for every life saved. Call me cold hearted but that was far too high a price.
And it’s our children and grandchildren that will be paying for it.
That’s even more cold hearted.
From the study
They examined deaths early during the pandemic and determined that, by end of the lockdown period studied, on May 20, 2020, a total of 97,081 people had died of COVID-19 in the U.S.
A prominent study at the time had estimated there would be 99,050 deaths without lockdowns.
Mr. Hanke is the founder and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise. Mr. Herby is special adviser at Center for Political Studies in Copenhagen, Denmark. Mr. Jonung is professor emeritus in economics at Lund University, Sweden.
They conducted a “meta-analysis” of dozens of studies that examined COVID-19 mortality rates.
Even 2000 lives saved would be a excessive price of $2B each. How many lives would $2B of roadway improvements save?
Wasn’t “the clown” President during these lockdowns?
Yes, advised by Fauci to do the lockdowns. Trump and Biden both participated. Lot of cowards who have no fundamental principles cheered it on.
Actual improvements, not bike lanes.

CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMIC RECOVERY “California’s strict public health measures during the pandemic protected its economy, setting the stage for an even faster recovery in the state than nationwide”

Things looked pretty optimistic six months and two variants ago.
You trust Gavin to tell you how well he did? Then why does California unemployment remain so much higher than elsewhere if California’s economy recovered faster?
” Several factors are contributing, including the state’s slow-to-rebound leisure and hospitality sectors. But the state has a lot of job openings, and high quit rates suggest workers are optimistic they can find better positions.”

600,000 small businesses permanently closed. Livelihoods ruined, because the government gave mis information
Damn Dems don’t care about lost small business or the working class losing livelihoods over mandates. Time for a Trucker Freedom Convoy from sea to shining sea.
Brian Von D, the administrator of “Convoy to DC 2022” announced over the weekend that “America is next.”
In a Facebook video posted on January 27, he said that the American convoy will start in California and will head to Washington, D.C.
“We’re done with the mandates, we’re done with the government telling us what to do, we will continue, and we will follow just like the rest of the world on these trucker protests, and they will be 100 percent legal, they will abide by the law,” Brian said.
He added that if a trucker violates the laws and convoy’s rules, he or she would be “kicked out of the convoy.” That, however, has never happened so far in the Canadian “Freedom Convoy,” and “everybody was amazing,” Brian noted.

I will point out that one of the authors is a Fellow and director of a research group at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. And that there are other economic studies which disagree fairly strongly with the analysis presented in your paper.
You can look at charts of excess death rates from around the world and see that there is not a clear correlation between the level of covid restrictions and the level of excess deaths. Western South American countries that had some of the world’s strictest protocols also had some of the highest excess mortality rates.
If you look at the list of countries who faired the best a few things stand out. It helps to be a young population, an island or similarly remote country, have robust social safety net infrastructure, be wealthy, be small, be ethnically/ culturally homogenous.
What would be an interesting study would be to look at countries who faired dramatically differently during this pandemic than they do in normal health metrics. Who is normally a healthy nation that faired badly over the last two years? Who is a normally unhealthy nation that faired well?
I agree, there are a ton of interesting approaches to study if folks can get access to accurate data. In hindsight, the results of some of the measures that were taken worked sometimes in some places and didn’t work at other times in other places. Figuring out why should be worth the next Nobel prize in economics.
Whats frustrating to many of us is that many lay people accurately predicted how many of these interventions would work out and we were disparaged for it.
I’ve been saying for 2 years now that shutting down schools and forcing young children to keep apart and masked would have a massive impact that would ultimately cost many more total life years than it protected. I was regularly told I was heartless toward the elderly.
It wasn’t hard to see that the kind of strict lock downs that worked in newZealand, or taiwan, or Norway were hugely dependent on their existing robust social safety programs and their intact faith in their government, as well as the familial attitude that comes with ethno-cultural homogeneity. It doesn’t take Nobel level knowledge in sociology or economics to recognize that that never existed here and that ramming it through would never work.
Many of the negative outcomes we are just starting to see were easy to spot at least 18 months ago. The great Barrington declaration and the letter from the American academy of pediatricians both came out back then and were scoffed at. People in this comment section mocked and ridiculed a Fortuna school board member for siting the latter. So this idea that “public health was just doing the best they could with so many unknowns” is just sort of laughable.
This is where, I believe, the mass formation hypothesis is relevant. The point of formation was around the prevention protocols (shutdowns, masks, distancing, vaccines) and a large mass of the population (including the corporate media) was unable and unwilling to have rational discussions about those things. They became sacred cows. And the feigning of ignorance that is rising as we begin to confront the actual cost of these countermeasures is simply more evidence that they are emotional touch stones rather than rational solutions.
Please feel free to post your links.
If you actually read the original paper you linked, not the Washington Times, you’d find this information.
It’s not my paper.
I posted the pdf. so the info. would be quite clear.
It’s info. not a personal testimony.
I’m sorry you’re hung up on the W Times
If you don’t have evidence that I didn’t read it, maybe you shouldn’t make assumptions.
If you had read the original paper, you wouldn’t have needed to ask for links.
“there are other economic studies which disagree fairly strongly with the analysis presented in your paper.”
Again, feel free to post your links.
“The findings contained in Johanna et al. (2020) are in contrast to our own. They conclude that “for lockdown, ten studies consistently showed that it successfully reduced the incidence, onward transmission, and mortality rate of COVID-19.”
To quote from the original paper you cited. Just as an example that the authors themselves pointed out and which I found from actually reading the paper itself. As I said.

Bitch, bitch, scream, scream! I am just very sorry the person lost their life to Covid. People, please get your shots you will stand a much better chance of living if you get Covid.
For the majority of people it will give you an extra 1 percent survival rate.
Miss me with that “ long Covid “ crap, it’s so rare nobody even knows someone with it.
Still, the poor soul lost today was most likely unvaccinated
??
The choice was theirs . Shall we continue the Covid lockdowns and emergency powers the government wields or shall we get on with our lives and let people decide their own fates?
I agree, everyone had their opportunity for vaccinations so now let’s all accept the consequences of our choices and get on with normal life.
“U.S. has far higher COVID death rate than other wealthy countries”
“We’ve normalized a very high death toll in the U.S.,” said Anne Sosin, who studies health equity at Dartmouth. “If we want to declare the end of the pandemic right now, what we’re doing is normalizing a very high rate of death.”

Is this the “normal” you are so keen to have?
3 downvotes for a return to normal life?
Those at risk because of their health conditions and those fearful have the freedom to stay at home while the rest of us return to normal life. Don’t expect others to sacrifice because you’re scared
But they do expect you to share their level of fear. And if you don’t you’re an idiot, callous, misinformed, etc. It IS time to start living again. Who cares what the naysayers say? I sure as shit don’t!
Since you seem to be the ones denying something – like all of science – that would make you the “naysayers”
And I would not say you are not an idiot, callous, misinformed. I would say you are deluded.
Mom!!! Penguin called me deluded!!! Better ban that user or delete that comment!!! ??? Why would I care what you think of me? Now tell me who are you? Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who? ? Oh, and what’s your qualifications to assess my level of delusion? I’d rather say “neigh” then “baa.”
Which is the problem with anti vaxxers and always is- they don’t care what others think about them. No community. Just the vocal exercise “Me Me Me.”
Read this today- seems like there were violent protests by anti vaxxers against mandated vaccines during a small pox outbreak. “”On Sept. 28, the Board of Health announced that vaccination was to be made compulsory,” writes Berman.
“In response, a ‘howling mob’ surrounded the East End Branch Health Office that evening and ‘wrecked’ the building.”

The vaccine everyone was waiting for — polio vaccineParents were scared of the polio epidemics that occurred each summer; they kept their children away from swimming pools, sent them to stay with relatives in the country, and clamored for an understanding of the spread of polio. They waited for a vaccine, closely following vaccine trials and sending dimes to the White House to help the cause. When the polio vaccine was licensed in 1955, the country celebrated, and Jonas Salk, its inventor, became an overnight hero.

And now, Welcome to 2022
Where they insist you get 4, 6, who knows how many more.
Seems the majority of people get a lot of vax shots and are still called anti vaxxers
But haven’t heard of a single building being burnt down over Jabs.
What’s your qualifications again? I listed mine. You never attack the substance, only the messenger. You’re being absolutely ridiculous. Why do you even respond to anything I write? You’re not changing my opinion and you haven’t proven that you can do the intellectual heavy lifting. Are you just trying to insult me? Lump me into any box you want. Because again; I don’t care what you think.
A double negative double insult flies?
I would not say, that was not an insult or two.
Ooooops. I think they call that a Sigmund Slide. Something like that. A manifestation of the subconscious mind. Amazing how that works.
It’s all about the equity
I believe at least 2 of the down votes are just because your you. Certain regular commenters will downvote you because of what you said before, not what your saying now. These same commenter don’t even realize that is what makes them part of the problem.
The assumptions made by people here are really hysterical. Like I have time to sit around watching “The View.” Or that I am “scared.”
I am not scared, I can assure you. But you seem super defensive. Why might that be?
Stockholm Syndrome.
‘3 downvotes for a return to normal life?’
Right?! I don’t get it either.
Some folks sure are having a blast with this decadent, dramatic and paranoid reality we’ve been imposed. It’s just so sad.
No – three down votes against frustrating the return to a normal life by those refusing to do anything sensible that will help.
The person you’re responding to has done all of the things you believe are necessary
I suspect you will find yourself with the freedom to stay at home. Lacking a very recent negative test or proof of vaccination, your world will become quite limited. But it seems most people posting here don’t get out much. Or at least do not realize that life in the Emerald Counties is not like what most people experience. That you are willing to accept the relatively few deaths which occur here in no way changes the fact that 2500 people in this country are currently dying from COVID every day. And the fact that some here think anyone over 65 is expendable is really twisted.
Because we as a nation are rotund and lazy. Sickly to start gives you dire results. That’s the real science left out of every equation. Our leaders, and “health” experts are not so expert after all, awarding “first prize to the donut shoppe! “
Unfortunately the unvaccinated do not accept the consequences and demand medical treatment for what they could have avoided. The last two (or is it three now – I think three) appointments I had for routine screening have been rescheduled because of the press of covid infections. Every cancelation is rescheduled to the earliest open appointment which is always 4 months or more away. By which time the infection rate has spiked, receded and risen again. Normal does not include people having to accommodate people who won’t accommodate anyone else.
Then surely we should all have to install some sort of system on our phone so that we can also deny care to the selfish people who thought their vaccination (which is probably waning in efficacy already) gave them a free pass and thus engaged in non essential travel, dined in around strangers, or otherwise failed to do what they could to avoid infection. Selfish selfish people
What lockdowns are you referring to? I haven’t seen any in quite a while now.
Which way did they go, George which way did they go?
The damage is done.
Just look to your local Main Street, and all the businesses that are empty, and still locked down.
Lots of little ghost towns popping up everywhere.
Been to a good movie lately?
Curious, how long is your memory? Have you forgotten that businesses go under for all sorts of reasons? Were you up in arms in 2008 because the big banks and Wall Street did a bunch of shady shit that caused a recession and millions of foreclosures? Or are you only mad now because you want to be able to blame Democrats for everything?
I haven’t been to a movie theater since dvds and now streaming became things. Why anyone would want to sit in a crowd to watch a movie where they won’t pause it when I need another beer or a trip to the bathroom is beyond me.
I was, and I was also ticked that the money Kamala clawed back was given to Jerry Brown and not given back to the people that were foreclosed on.
Yeah you’re totally right, Covid19 has been Main Street America’s saving grace. Business is booming.
I read a story today about how restaurants may never recover, and no, I’m not talking about McDonald’s.
And yeah, you’re right again…
I AM only mad now because I want to blame the Democrats for everything, because, of course,as you have so astutely deduced, I am a Democrat.
But yes, I was totally pissed that all the Jackasses got bailed out after 2008. I didn’t fuck up my finances, so I didn’t see a dime from the government. Bullshit.
And that’s where they should have distributed the money, to the people that were doing things right, not for all the welschers that we’re doing it wrong.
And again, you got it totally right on the Covid thing, not being the reason movie theaters totally went belly up… Well almost totally right…
I don’t think that, “dinner and a movie”, had completely gone out of style, before Covid19 lockdowns hit.
Covid, probably didn’t do the whole social distancing antonym “new date”, thing any harm did it,
Not even one hitch at all …
Now it seems, neither one of them, are even much of an option anymore…
So it sure isn’t going to lead to the part where the “hitch” is involved…
And yeah, even getting hitched, in any celebratory way, was forbidden, due to Covid.
And so you’re right again…
The lockdowns aren’t to blame…
The DVD is the real culprit here…
The Damned Viral Disease.
And those lockdowns occurred under Trumps watch
One can hope.
I know someone who “thought” they had “long covid.” They killed themselves. It sucks they couldn’t have waited it out and seen whether it passed or not. RIP bro. We all miss you. ♥️
What symptom would prompt suicide?
Restricted breathing and constant fatigue. Don’t know his health before catching covid, but he seemed healthy to me. Really wish he would have waited to see how long the symptoms stayed. He was about 2-3 months in on “long covid.” I think there were also underlying mental health issues and he was in over his head on business ventures. But in any case he was a good person and I know a lot of people miss his presence.
The founder of Texas Roadhouse restaurant chain killed himself about 4 months after contracting COVID because of persistent symptoms. He was 65 but previously healthy according to family and friends.
That’s sad as well. Wish they would have waited to see how they faired in the 6 months to a year range. Symptoms may have alleviated or disappeared. I guess we’ll never know. ?
Six months is a long time to have difficulty breathing.
It sounds like a nightmare to me.
I’m sure it would be. I don’t know what decisions I would have made if I were in their shoes. I also have a friend who’s in treatment for lung cancer. Couldn’t breathe. He could barely walk 10 feet from his bed to the bathroom before they cut out a piece of his lung. Glad he’s hanging on and getting treatments.
I’m sorry for your loss. I posted my comment and then I read yours.
Looks like I wasn’t that far off.
It’s understandable.
He was lucky he had friends like you, while he was alive, you sound like a good friend.
Your friend was probably in the cannabis permit process.
Breathing difficulty, lethargy, extreme fatigue, pain, inability to function, medical bills,…
Not that it would be a symptom of long Covid, but if your loved one died of Covid19, and you got long Covid, that might not be that much much fun, either.
When the smoke clears.. remember this site’s militant stance on adhering to the narrative, and the authors over zealous support of government intervention.
You could boycott me now. I support people boycotting sites that put out fake information. And if you agree that is the case, you should quit coming here now.
And, if you are afraid of my site’s addictive lure, I could ban you to help you never comment here again. Let me know if you need that assistance, I’m always glad to help.

Wow. ?
Now that’s a reality check!
And I don’t blame her. She is probably getting tired of the daily crap thrown at her. She provides important news to the community and gives people a place to vent or express their opinions within reason. I for one say thank you.
I heard LOCO has openings.
I would be ripping my hair out having to put up with all this – day.after.day.
Re, “Let me know if you need that assistance, I’m always glad to help” …
Happy to see that you do indeed have a Don’t Let the Door Hit You In the Ass policy.
I’ll remember it and keep commenting . Who said anything about a boycott?
We believe in free speech.
Funny. The hippies and leftists infiltrated academia and media and now that they have the power they’re authoritarian as all hell. Most people cannot wield power fairly .
Because “fairly” only seems fair if you’re the one in power.
And I see yours and realitycheck’s comments are still here. So what’s the complaint about?
What good is it, being the one that wields the axe, if one doesn’t swing it?

“An intense burst of radiation fired from the Sun is expected to batter Earth’s atmosphere tomorrow, according to space weather trackers.
The hot material, known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) erupted from our closest star on Jan. 30 following an enormous solar flare.
It’s now on a collision course with our planet and it is predicted to arrive in the early hours of Wednesday, according to data from NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.“

What do you think, should we just hold out for the good stuff at this point?
We may have to hold out a long time. Pfizer and moderna will try and crush this competition, and they already have the politians and drs in their pockets.
But, I agree with you. I am not anti Vax, I have been waiting for something that actually works, with less “unknown” affects. Maybe this will be it.

Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders: Responding to the Growing Crisis
Before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions February 1, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an enormous strain on individuals, families, and
communities. Beyond the very real physical ramifications of the virus, the effects of social isolation,
disrupted routines, loss of jobs and income, and grief associated with the death of a loved one have caused
significant distress and trauma, which typically have downstream effects on mental health. During the
pandemic, about four in 10 adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder, an increase
from the one in 10 adults who reported these symptoms from January to June 2019.1 Data also shows a
surge in emergency department visits attributable to a mental health crisis, suicide attempts, and in drug overdoses during the COVID pandemic.2 Additionally, there have been significant increases in unhealthy
behaviors, such as eating disorders, sleep disruptions, alcohol consumption, and illicit drug use.3 4 5 6
Given these factors, it is likely that the pandemic’s mental and physical health impact will be present for generations to come.

A Covid Origin Conspiracy?Newly released emails make more plausible the contention that Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins presided over the suppression of the lab-leak theory for political reasons.

As long as the Democrats control the show Fauci gets a pass. If the Republicans take over they will make his life miserable.
Their numbers are shrinking….
Through his office, Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) on Tuesday disclosed that he suffered a stroke on Thursday last week and underwent “decompressive surgery to ease swelling” in his brain. According to Carlos Sanchez, Luján’s chief of staff, the New Mexico Democrat remains hospitalized.
In addition to concerns among his colleagues about Luján’s health, his absence presents potential near-term trouble for Senate Democrats. They are down a vote in the evenly divided chamber for the immediate future. While Luján’s representatives say the senator is expected to make a “full recovery,” it is unknown when he might return to Washington, leaving Democrats unable to advance nominees or legislation that could require Vice President Harris to cast a tie-breaking vote. Unlike in the House, senators must vote in person.

I do wish him a full recovery.
However, I don’t think he’ll be voting anytime soon.

These 3000 troops are separate from the 8500 already on standby.

WTH, where’s Germany and France?
Is Biden playing Big Shot to cover for the Afghanistan disaster?
Do you trust him not to start WW3?
Biden doesn’t have 2 brain cells to rub together but he does have the nuke codes.
About 130,000 seasoned Russian troops against about 10,000 American vaccinated woke troops. The Russians will lose control of their bowels at the thought of combat. Biden is such a master of foreign policy.
The visuals in my head from your post gave me the biggest laugh of the day!
Thank you.
