1 Death, 1 New Hospitalization, 119 New Cases

COVID DEATHPress 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

And it’s our children and grandchildren that will be paying for it.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

Curious, how long is your memory? Have you forgotten that businesses go under for all sorts of reasons?

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.

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…

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.

Written Testimony of Mitch Prinstein, PhD, ABPP Chief Science Officer American Psychological Association
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.

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.
