‘Second pandemic’: Santa Cruz County declares racism a public health crisis
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | August 18, 2020 | NICHOLAS IBARRA

Santa Cruz County declared racism a public health crisis Tuesday, becoming the latest jurisdiction to voice a commitment to doing more to address disparate health outcomes observed in the current pandemic and in numerous other areas.

Endorsed by local health officials, the declaration was unanimously approved by county supervisors.

“You’ve heard a lot from me about COVID-19 over the past six months, and indeed COVID is the worst public health crisis in a generation,” said Santa Cruz County Health Officer Dr. Gail Newel. “But there is a second pandemic impacting our county now, a pandemic that has ravaged our country for centuries: racism.”

Freaking Santa Cruz County depends on tourism and agriculture for its income base. Both are being hammered by the COVID crisis. The county is on fire right now with various outlying communities being evacuated. Our worthless county supervisors and county officials are spending their time on this bull excrement. Time to storm the castle the serfs are fed up.

Wrong Think is double-plus ungood and medical intervention is required. Your lobotomy is waiting for you.

Once they learned that they could seize dictatorial powers by declaring public health emergencies and nobody said boo the plan was clear: everything from now on will be a public health crisis.

Considering that BLM is a racist organization, I’d say they are correct.

For better or for worse, I was a transient in Santa Cruz in 1978. There was active suppression of homelessness, that I would approve now, more than owing to theft, to lack of human sanitation. There was then an elite white-liberal upper-crust, now supplemented by an elite non-white, read mainly upper-crust black, Asian and Latino power structure. Your civil sanctity is based on money, not on virtue, not on how much difference you make to your community, not on how much you relate to other, ordinary, common people. It stinks.

War on Poverty
War on Drugs
etc

I guess they don’t want to be militaristic anymore.

Poverty is a health crisis
Drugs are a health crisis
Racism is a health crisis

This opens the door for medical doctors who specialize in “racism”.

Can I catch it from the riots and looting (unlike COVID-19 apparently)?

My brother lives in Denver, and says whenever they need the town spruced up for a big visit/event for a day or two, they hand out movie passes and food coupons to the bums to temporarily keep them off the streets.

Don’t know how widespread that is, have been meaning to visit him.

Having been born and raised in Aptos/Santa Cruz and being a banana slug ... I retain my membership to the Hometown Santa Cruz FB site if only to keep current on my old hometown. When I left Santa Cruz it was full of loopy but fairly benign liberal hippies. Based on the posts I see on that site now, the town appears to have made to transition from benign liberal hippies to dangerously psychotic marxist leftists. I have not seen another site so full of Trump and America haters. The hatred for any thing American literally drips off that page.

I like to watch “Dragnet.” The drug episodes are a favorite. In the conclusion of an episode I saw recently, there was a reference made to The Department of Mental Hygiene. I can see that making a comeback in Cali, with some frightening Orwellian twists.

I agree that racism is a pandemic.

The best solution is to get rid of one race.

25k and a plane ticket to their motherland - Africa...that they love so much.

Like I love Italy..only I speak Italian, have family in Sicily, know the culture there well and its history.

I’m sure they know their african country that well.

Anther difference is I have NO DESIRE to leave my Great Homeland and live in Italy.

Some of these bozos actually do..and boy would they be in for a surprise.

Well, they got that right. Whites are being disparaged and attacked all over the country thanks to racist blacks (small “b” there).

Oh... that’s NOT what they mean?

Maybe we can all wear masks, then, you know, to stop the racism or something.

Farking idiots.
