0.0001208% death rate leads to urgent crisis.
Do you miss having a blue rag clamped over your mouth and nose? Frowns from the people wearing masks? Having to shuffle six feet apart from the line at the supermarket counter?
In Governor Gavin Newsom’s California, the local health officials have you covered.
Across California, ‘health officials’ are calling for bringing back masks. They’re describing a “summer COVID wave” in September (trust the science) before a predicted “winter wave” and warning that everyone will either be dead or masked by the spring.
“California is experiencing a summer COVID wave,” Dr. Aimee Sisson, the health officer for Yolo County, claimed in a press release, and recommended that everyone over the age of 2 in West Sacramento “wear a mask when they are around others in indoor public spaces.”
Why do we have to mask children? Because it’s fun for the whole family. And for that most useless and destructive element of California officialdom: the professional health official.
How much COVID is there really in Yolo County? It’s hard to say because the databases that were urgently tracking COVID gave up once there was no longer any bad news to report.
The latest figure in Yolo is from July which records 0 deaths. Last year there were 0.4 deaths and we must offer our condolences to the 40% of the one person that was deceased. There’s still no word on where the other 60% of him, her or xer is, but hopefully that 60% is doing well.

The San Francisco Department of Public Health is also calling for masks, not when passing the piles of human waste outside, but in indoor spaces. Conveniently enough, SF’s DPH ‘paused’ COVID hospitalization data in July “to assess data quality and completeness”.
Back in July, a total of 53 people were admitted to San Francisco hospitals who tested positive for COVID. If you’re going to argue for masking everyone, it’s understandable that you would want more “completeness” than less than two people a day coming to the hospital.
But in more media friendly news, the number of people testing positive for COVID jumped from 7.4% to 12.3% at the end of August. Those numbers however fail to mention the sample size.
The number of tests had dropped from 310 to 163. The question of how many people actually tested positive for COVID is left as an exercise for the reader, but the full total should be able to fit into one of those San Francisco micro-apartments marketed to starving tech workers.
When one death and dozens of positive COVID tests in San Francisco lead to a call for universal indoor masking from the San Francisco Department of Public Health, while 428 drug overdose deaths lead to no action against drugs, that’s not science, it’s political science.
Very good Mr Greenfield article that looks at CA's new Covid crisis.
Ping out to the Daniel Greenfield Ping! list.
As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the esteemed Daniel Greenfield ping list.

I’m guessing if it was reported as 0.4 that it was an estimate and not a count.
The good news is 60% of that person lived!
The San Francisco Department of Public Health needs to be renamed after the most famous landmark in the city.
Let us call it the Department of Public Opportunity and Organized Progress.
The Department of POOP.
Like lemmings to the sea........
Is Newsome going to declare all of SF a covid waste site, remove all inhabitants, burn the place to the ground (see example Palisades fires) and have his Aunt Nancy buy up all the fabulous real estate at fire sale prices?
Prove me wrong.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Chicken Little syndrome.
I have no objection to the decimation of the masked radical left.
Let them mask up and go hang out in crowded bar rooms and opium dens.
Not a problem.
California- She’s only beautiful on the outside.
Yuppers!

Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve...
Five Years and some still
Fall for the Lie.
Viruses are in much larger droplets that are caught by the masks.
According to liberals everyone must wear a mask EXCEPT ICE agents!
LMAO
I dare anyone who believes that cloth masks are effective to enter a room filled with tear gas wearing one.
Then they will see how useless the mask is against viruses which are much smaller
If they could make a combo mask and clownish glasses, a mandate can be expected. Toss in those lefty Palestine scarfs and I think we’ve got the full uniform.
“Even home-made masks are effective.”

My response will be stronger this time.
