Stay out of the sunshine. Stay out of the saltwater!

If you or any of your friends have gotten sick with COVID-19 recently, you’re not the only ones: Case rates are rising in the Bay Area and the proof is in the pipes. According to the California Department of Public Health, the region now has the most viral wastewater than anywhere else in California.
In an email to SFGATE, Amanda Bidwell, a wastewater researcher and data analyst at Stanford, said that over the past 21 days “consistently high concentrations” of SARS-CoV-2 have been detected in wastewater samples collected across San Francisco.
“Currently we are seeing some of the highest concentrations we’ve ever measured” at these locations, Bidwell continued. And across San Francisco, the levels are approaching those last seen in December and January. Because individuals shed the virus before getting tested, this method of monitoring wastewater helps predict upcoming surges while including data from those who are asymptomatic.
Aside from San Francisco, as of June 11, data showed that COVID levels were also high in Vallejo; Novato; western Contra Costa County; Sausalito; Palo Alto; Sunnyvale; and San Jose. And the virus isn’t confined to just the Bay Area, either.
“Wastewater concentrations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in San Francisco, as in many sites across California, have been increasing, which suggest that COVID-19 cases are increasing,” CDPH press representatives told SFGATE in a written statement.
It’s a trend that has played out in previous years. The San Francisco Department of Public Health told SFGATE that COVID cases have typically risen around late spring through late summer.
“Last year we saw a summer peak start in early July 2023, and it appears that this may be happening a little bit earlier this year compared to last year,” Bidwell told SFGATE via email.

An epidemic so deadly you have to test poop water to see if you had it.
EVERYBODY RUN!!!
SERPENTINE!!! 🐍🐍🐍
Two weeks to stop the spread.
(The 2024 election variant has arrived,)
COVID-19(84).DNC.2024
Yes, but is it any more severe than a common cold?
About time for another pandemic so the Demoncrats can declare a national emergency and say: “Don’t worry we have enough mail-in ballots for all” and to everyone’s surprise they will declare they are already filled out and mailed in.
Stay out of the sunshine. Stay out of the saltwater!
Wow, probably more than half the people will die in the next 4 days. No way of escape! DOOMED. Well, at least they can die knowing that their Headquarters San Francisco, has put up it’s rainbow flag as a SAFE city.
Are they sure it’s covid and not HIV/AIDS?
Love the reference!
“”Aside from San Francisco, as of June 11, data showed that COVID levels were also high in Vallejo; Novato; western Contra Costa County; Sausalito; Palo Alto; Sunnyvale; and San Jose. And the virus isn’t confined to just the Bay Area, either.””
Testing waste water in the Bay area? That has to be a super job!!! All the cities affected in the Bay area are named but only a mention that it’s NOT confined to the Bay area...they can’t name any other areas? Those cities named are on both sides of the Bay and down the peninsula and up in Nancy’s old territory....Yeah - I know what you’re thinking!
I remember that one.
They just keep up the stupid scare tactics. Some low-IQ voters, and there are plenty, will take more clot shots and croak. Sayonara.
Don’t go to the hospital! You’ll kill all the medical staff and their families! (anybody remember that little COVID gem?)
A Court Victory over Vaccine Mandates
BY Leslie ManookianLESLIE MANOOKIAN JUNE 11, 2024 LAW, VACCINES 3 MINUTE READ
Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF), California Educators for Medical Freedom, and individual plaintiffs have won their appeal in the Ninth Circuit on LAUSD’s Employee Covid Vaccination Mandate.
Health Freedom Defense Fund et. al, led by the exceptional legal team of John Howard and Scott Street at JW Howard Attorneys, has won a significant victory in the Ninth Circuit, which reversed the dismissal of their lawsuit challenging the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (“LAUSD”) mandatory vaccination policy for all employees.
Reversing the decision of the Central District of California in Los Angeles, the Ninth Circuit majority held that, first, the case was not mooted by LAUSD’s rescission of the mandate after an oral argument last September, 2023. The majority called out LAUSD’s gamesmanship for what it was – a bald-faced attempt at avoiding an adverse ruling by trying to create an issue of mootness.
Unfortunately for LAUSD, they had already done this once in the trial court. Applying the voluntary cessation doctrine, the majority doubted LAUSD’s sincerity in rescinding the mandate immediately after an unfavorable oral argument in September of last year.
On the merits, the majority ruled that the district court had misapplied the Supreme Court’s 1905 decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts when it dismissed LAUSD’s lawsuit on grounds that the mandate was rationally related to a legitimate state interest. In Jacobson, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a smallpox vaccination mandate because it related to “preventing the spread” of smallpox.
The majority, however, noted that HFDF had alleged in the lawsuit that the Covid jabs are not “traditional” vaccines because they do not prevent the spread of Covid-19 but only purport to mitigate Covid symptoms in the recipient. This, HFDF had alleged in its complaint, makes the Covid jab a medical treatment, not a vaccine.
The court recognized that mitigating symptoms rather than preventing the spread of disease “distinguishes Jacobson, thus presenting a different government interest.” Based on this reasoning, the majority disapproved the trial court’s contention that, even if the jabs do not prevent the spread, “Jacobson still dictates that the vaccine mandate is subject to, and survives, the rational basis test.”
The court held that “[t]his misapplies Jacobson,” which “did not involve a claim in which the compelled vaccine was ‘designed to reduce symptoms in the infected vaccine recipient rather than to prevent transmission and infection.”’
Jacobson does not, the majority concluded, extend to “forced medical treatment” for the benefit of the recipient.
The court declined to give any deference to pronouncements by the CDC that the “Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective.” As the court asked rhetorically, “safe and effective” for what? The majority pointed to HFDF’s allegation that the CDC had changed the definition of “vaccine” in September 2021, striking the word “immunity” from that definition.
The court also noted HFDF’s citations to CDC statements that the vaccines do not prevent transmission, and that natural immunity is superior to the vaccines.
In a separate concurrence, Judge Collins wrote that the district court “further erred by failing to realize that [HFDF’s] allegations directly implicate a distinct and more recent line of Supreme Court authority” for the proposition that “a competent person has a constitutionally protected liberty interest in refusing unwanted medical treatment[.]” Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in Washington v. Glucksberg:
Judge Collins noted that the right to refuse unwanted medical treatment is “entirely consistent with this Nation’s history and constitutional traditions,” and that HFDF’s allegations in this case “are sufficient to invoke that fundamental right.”
The Ninth Circuit ruling today demonstrates that the court saw through LAUSD’s monkey business, and in so doing, it made clear that American’s cherished rights to self-determination, including the sacred right of bodily autonomy in matters of health, are not negotiable. This is a great triumph for the truth, decency, and what is right.

Aaaaaand heeeeere we go! They don’t seem to have much confidence that they can fool the people with the chicken flu.
Seasonal flu has been weaponized for elections.
I believe ‘Covid’ was seasonal flu, and the fact that Dr. Birx and others said during the last fake outbreak, “We don’t have flu anymore” adds to the evidence.
