COVID Is Coming for Calif., and it's Already Hitting the Bay Area the Hardest
SFGate ^ | June 12, 2024 | Ariana Bindman

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.

Sadly, this time there will be many illnesses from those who were heavily vaxxed with other comorbidities and now have immune impairment or ADE, which is clinically indistinguishable from disease. For ADE, the immune system ‘overheats’ and the patient appears to have a runaway respiratory flu.
So this time the hospitals are expected to be heavily impacted. Actual patients who are falsely described as ‘Covid’ illness will likely frighten the public into believing it’s real this time, even though at presen they know it’s fake.

It’s easy to avoid - just shut-off your TV.

For maximum effectiveness, never turn it back on.

Blah blah blah. I can’t believe people are still getting fear-mongered by this.
They were idiots for falling for it the first time - now I don’t even know what to call them.

This is a crisis! We have to have mail-in ballots and ballot “harvesting”.

Sewage testing is the same way that poliovirus outbreaks were tracked.

Polio could spread by coughing and sneezing or by fecal-oral contamination. SARS can multiply in the GI tract and show up in sewage but it’s not clear if that’s also a route for infection.

Not surprising the infections are showing up in the Bay Area. A large percentage of the Democrat/Communist Party loyalists in that area are “vaccinated”, “boostered” and re-”boostered”; thus, their damaged immune systems make them even more likely to catch, get sick from and spread the Fauci Flu. ... Just another reason among many to avoid traveling to the Bay Area unless you are unfortunate enough to have to go there.

There is now a possibility of a ban on masks proposed by NY Gov. Huchul due to the anti-semitic protests and riots and crimes by others.

When the old ones were mandated during the Covid lockdowns Bill O’Reilly was asked:
Are you going to comply and wear a mask?

O’Reilly: Only while I am robbing a 7 Eleven.

I remember pulling up to a red light in 2020. A young lady pulled up in the lane next to me. We both had our windows rolled up. I sneezed (loudly, as usual). She looked at me with horror on her face, and quickly pulled up her little covid mask.

Like that mask was going to stop viruses that glass windows could not.

“Actual patients who are falsely described as ‘Covid’ illness will likely frighten the public into believing it’s real this time” “Sadly, this time there will be many illnesses from those who were heavily vaxxed with other comorbidities and now have immune impairment or ADE”

lol. I wonder how many realize that you’re back on the “There is no Covid virus!!” bandwagon.

Of course you never quit that idea in the first place, did you. You’ve just been afraid to repost that lunatic screed from your pals at The Daily Expose.

You know the one. The one that claims that there is no virus, and that all of the “covid disease” has been caused by “poison fake vaccines”.

You have good reason to worry. Your loyal band of followers would be questioning your sanity if you gave them another chance to read that David Icke inspired craziness. Then it might dawn on them just what you’ve been peddling all along.

This the election year variant, and the only cure is mail-in ballots, massive ballot harvesting/trafficking, unattended drop boxes and no signature verification.

The perennially panic stricken MSNBC junkies are going to mask themselves and hide, and vote for Biden. Some who knew it was nonsense and a population control experiment from the start may well hold it against Trump for his clearing the way for the “vaccines” and vote for Bobby Jr. Hopefully not too many. It will be interesting to see what the gullibility level is this time ‘round.
