26 Residents and 10 Staff Now Have Tested Positive for COVID-19 After Outbreak at Long-Term Care Facility

COVID outbreakPress release from Humboldt County Public Health:

The Humboldt County Public Health Branch responded last week to a COVID-19 outbreak at Fortuna Rehabilitation & Wellness Center where 26 residents and 10 staff members have now tested positive for the virus. One resident is currently hospitalized.

Due to the vulnerability of the long-term care facility’s senior and medically fragile residents, Public Health staff are providing a heightened level of response.

The branch’s Communicable Disease team is testing residents and staff three times a week and coordinating with the California Department of Public Health’s Healthcare-Associated Infections group. The teams are meeting on an expedited schedule with facility management to slow the spread of the virus.

Fortuna Rehabilitation & Wellness Center is a 104-bed facility with 56 residents and 70 staff members. According to facility management, they are working to backfill staff who have tested positive.

Typical lib, zero content, zero rebuttal. Liberalism is a mental disorder!

I’m the furthest thing from a “Lib”. But where’s your “content” other than a garbage website of a Nut job. Come on Rollin you can do better.

Substack is just a site that hosts newsletters with su scripting options for authors. You can’t make any conclusions about any information simply because it’s written in a newsletter hosted on substack.

I’d never heard of the author before looking at Rollin’s link but looking at his Wikipedia page (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_E._Alexander) it sure seems like he is qualified to form an opinion on the subject. Is there a problem you have with the subject of the column?

From that link- “In an interview with the Toronto Globe and Mail after his departure from HHS, Alexander defended his actions, stating that he had wanted the CDC to make their reports “more upbeat so that people would feel more confident going out and spending money”, and that he “did not think agencies should contradict any president’s policy”” yup- that’s real science right there.

That doesn’t even make sense as a strawman insult. But if you want some actual science behind conspiracy thinking, and I know you do, and you want it presented on YouTube, which I also know you like, here –

So you don’t agree with his thoughts about political messaging within an administration? And that’s somehow supposed to be some kind of profound comment on his eligibility to form an educated opinion about epidemiology?

Of course it raises issues of credibility. Anyone claiming to be a scientist who gives a statement approving of, in fact advocating for- spinning the science for political use is saying that for himself. It is not necessary to question his credentials. He’s let you know flat out.

Stating a belief that agency public messaging should be uniform and stating that he believes the public health releases isn’t “spinning science for political use”. You continue to fail to recognize that your interpretation of this situation is not inherently correct.

Many people, including many epidemiologists, virologists, and public health professionals have been decrying the fear mongering and exaggeration around this particular viral illness since the beginning. That you choose to dismiss them and believe the more dramatic messaging is a personal choice you’re entitled to but it doesn’t magically make the other perspective incorrect.

It’s bizarre that you live in a world where a qualified professional disagreeing with you is grounds for you to dismiss their qualifications.

 “Is there a problem you have with the subject of the column?”

Yes, the column flies in the face of everything skitty/nooo espoused and have been wrong about for two years straight. And just like the moronic liberal protester who screams at you and blows a whistle in your face repeatedly when you attempt a rational discussion, skitty and nooo (and the rest of the vax cult) can only resort to blindly attacking sources or endless, petty name calling (anti vaxxer/conspiracy theorist). It is a tacit admission they have lost the debate.

Well, I suppose anyone who thinks making petty personal insults is a discussion would find that to be true.

Well then I’m glad to know you agree and recognize that you’ve abandoned the discussion for petty insults. I’ve tried to point out to you that your approach of broad dismissal by way of strawman arguments isn’t nearly as convincing as you seem to think it is, but I understand that you the emotional comfort you find in stating those dismissals is likely more important than changing any minds.

He also, to his credit, gracefully, did not mention the glaring, thinly veiled, yet thick layer, of passive aggression…

It is my hope that everyone that has been infected will make it through ok.
Praying the resident that is in the hospital will be fine.

The test are not accurate, the DHHS admitted in a records request that per recommendation of the CDC they run PCR tests at 45 cycles.

The World health organization has previously stated that PCR tests ran over 40 cycles yield 96%+ false positive results.

Dr Fauci’s NIH has stated that any PCR test ran at 33 cycles or more yield 80% false positive results.
