COVID hospitalizations break records in six California counties
Cal Matters ^ | AUGUST 20, 2021 | KRISTEN HWANG

Hospitals in six rural California counties — all in remote, northern parts of the state — are now treating more COVID-19 patients than ever, breaking records by exceeding their winter surges.

Driven by sharp spikes in infections and low vaccination rates, COVID-19 patients hospitalized in Del Norte, Tuolumne, Lake, Humboldt, Nevada and Mendocino counties have more than tripled in the past five weeks, according to a CalMatters analysis of state data.

OMG! The pandemic is raging in California. Shut the state down. More mandates. I live in Santa Cruz County and mask mandates went into effect today. San Francisco and LA demand vaccine passports.

Let's look at the data:

Statewide data since day one:

Death date Reported date 64,503 total confirmed deaths 120 new deaths (0.2% increase) 0.1 deaths per 100K (7-day average)

So 0.1 person per 100K is reason to shut down the state?

Let's look at Santa Cruz County where I live:

Death date Reported date 209 total confirmed deaths 0 new deaths (0% increase) 0 deaths per 100K (7-day average)

So 0 deaths per 100K is reason to go into panic mode and institute a mask mandate?

Go figure

So, stupid question. Is the media blaming Biden for every sick person and every death?

Well, actually there is nothing to “go figure.” It is quite obvious that the psyops campaign to lock it all down again is full-on. That’s all it’s been since January of 2020.

They don’t say what percentage in the hospital have been vaccinated? Wonder why?

I have a feeling that the standards for hospitalization has changed.

You just can’t be too cautious!

No doubt the refrigerated morgue semis are backing up the ERs as we speak. Heck, you can see them from space probably.

Also note that there is no mention of illegals or a patients contacts with illegals.

It would be interesting to know how many of the counties mentioned hive had secret dumps of illegals by the feds.

There would be far fewer hospitalizations if earlier treatment were initiated. That treatment includes, but is not limited to, using the hydroxychloroquine-zinc-azithromycin protocol as early as the disease is detected, and following through with frequent monitoring of the patient even on an outpatient basis.

Many patients overcome the disease on their own, as the infection runs it course, causing the generation of sufficient antibodies to contain and eliminate the infection.

As the Newsom recall election approaches, think of this as a midterm tune-up. Sadly, most conservatives still believe in the election process, despite the Steal, so I expect both Newsom and the Ds to hold their positions.

i think Newsom is staying away from lockdown and water rationing for one reason only: the Recall. let’s kick his arrogant fanny out

Let’s use their own stats:

https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2020/04/california-coronavirus-covid-patient-hospitalization-data-icu/

“COVID-19 patients currently hospitalized
+82 (+1.1%) on August 18”

“COVID-19 patients in ICU
+55 (+3.2%) on August 18”

If I configure this in the worst possible way, saying that the two are separate, which I doubt, then we’re talking about a pandemic in these areas that garnishes around 4.3% of the total of those not vaccinated. (It would have more of an effect if the vaccine was actually curing the flu, which it was never designed to do.) Now let’s look at the possibilities:

This could be a mixture of C-19 and the Delta and vaccinated people combined with unvaxxed.
There could be a total of 82 people concerned with the icu patients coming out of the 82. (That more than doubles the amount by padding the counts)

The California government can’t even count votes. Why should they be trusteed to tell the truth with an agenda to control the serfs?

It’s all in how it’s worded...what “it” is.

Well, c’mon, why not? If any hospital declares (no proof needed) that they are rendering aid to a WuhanFlu patient they automatically get tens of thousands of $$ from Feds—your tax dollars at work. You expect some blood sucking administrator to turn that away? These are the same people who won’t give you an estimate on how much a procedure will cost.

The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.

There is no need to worry.

You are missing the point. Getting someone well is not the goal. Pulling in taxpayer $$ is No1. Using vax refusal as excuse to get rid of question-asking troublemakers is No2.

Semi -Lockdowns, masks don’t work. I think a complete lockdown for 3 weeks could be effective. That means no travel. Hard to imagine.

The BIL of a good friend died Thursday evening, after being removed from the ventalator. Just not getting enough oxygen to the brain. He was 300 lbs
