I am more worried about the local economy destroyed than a few new “cases”. Stop the fear mongering.

  Note that the headlines always make it look as if the sum total were all CURRENT cases, instead of most of them being past history or near the end of the isolation period. Furthermore, if someone tests positive (assuming the tests can be trusted), but is asymptomatic, that’s not really a “case” of COVID-19 any more than all the people in the county who are carrying the virus but don’t know it because they have no symptoms.

Politco Headline: “Suddenly, Public Health Officials Say Social Justice Matters More Than Social Distance”

“We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus,” Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, tweeted on Tuesday. “In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.”

You’ve been CONNED, boys & girls, on a level unimaginable to any sane mind. The destruction of America’s economy? Unnecessary…and deliberate. The House Arrests? Just testing you, to see how much you’ll tolerate.

  It’s a miracle! The formerly deadly virus that required shutting down businesses, quarantining healthy people and wearing face coverings every time we snuck out of hiding has been defeated by a social cause. Okay, so now can we drop the pretense, or will those of us who never bought into the scamdemic still be accused of killing people by our crass indifference to human life?
J.C. Tokalenko on June 4, 2020 at 9:44 PM said:

“Open letter advocating for an anti-racist public health response to demonstrations against systemic injustice occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic” (Google it)

“However, as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States. We can show that support by facilitating safest protesting practices without detracting from demonstrators’ ability to
gather and demand change. This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders.”

—

That letter was signed by hundreds of so-called “experts” who put politics before science, or, more specifically, their “science” serves politics.

Your community, your country, your civilization are under attack – literal war is being waged on them, on us – right now by those will lie without inhibition, who will create a hoax so vast to be almost unbelievable. Obviously, the COVID-19(84) Plandemic was a near-total FRAUD upon us, and these implicit admissions are now conclusive.

Act accordingly. A new Civil War has been forced upon us.

J.C. Tokalenko on June 17, 2020 at 4:11 PM said:

What is striking about the reactions to the apparatuses of exception that have been put in place in our country (and not only in this one) is the inability to observe them beyond the immediate context in which they seem to operate. Rare are those who attempt to interpret them as symptoms and signs of a broader experiment — as any serious political analysis would require — in which what is at stake is a new paradigm for the governance of men and things. Already in a book published seven years ago, now worth rereading carefully (Tempêtes microbiennes, Gallimard 2013), Patrick Zylberman described the process by which health security, hitherto on the margins of political calculations, was becoming an essential part of state and international political strategies. At issue is nothing less than the creation of a sort of “health terror” as an instrument for governing what are called “worst case scenarios.” It is according to this logic of the worst that already in 2005 the World Health Organization announced “2 to 150 million deaths from bird flu approaching,” suggesting a political strategy that states were not yet ready to accept at the time. Zylberman shows that the apparatus being suggested was articulated in three points: 1) the construction, on the basis of a possible risk, of a fictitious scenario in which data are presented in such a way as to promote behaviors that allow for governing an extreme situation; 2) the adoption of the logic of the worst as a regime of political rationality; 3) the total organization of the body of citizens in a way that strengthens maximum adherence to institutions of government, producing a sort of superlative good citizenship in which imposed obligations are presented as evidence of altruism and the citizen no longer has a right to health (health safety) but becomes juridically obliged to health (biosecurity).

What Zylberman described in 2013 has now been duly confirmed. It is evident that, apart from the emergency situation, linked to a certain virus that may in the future be replaced by another, at issue is the design of a paradigm of governance whose efficacy will exceed that of all forms of government known thus far in the political history of the West. If already, in the progressive decline of ideologies and political beliefs, security reasons allowed citizens to accept limitations on their liberty that they previously were unwilling to accept, biosecurity has shown itself capable of presenting the absolute cessation of all political activity and all social relations as the maximum form of civic participation. Thus it was possible to see the paradox of organizations of the left, traditionally in the habit of claiming rights and denouncing violations of the constitution, accepting limitations on liberty made by ministerial decree devoid of any legal basis and which even fascism couldn’t dream of imposing.

It is evident — and government authorities themselves do not cease to remind us of it — that so-called “social distancing” will become the model of politics that awaits us, and that (as representatives of a so-called “task force” announced, whose members are in an obvious conflict of interest with the role that they are expected to exercise) advantage will be taken of this distancing to substitute digital technological apparatuses everywhere in place of human physicality, which as such becomes suspect of contagion (political contagion, let it be understood). University lessons, as MIUR has already recommended, will be stably online from next year; you will no longer recognize yourself by looking at your face, which might be covered with a mask, but through digital devices that recognize bio-data which is compulsorily collected; and any “crowd,” whether formed for political reasons or simply for friendship, will continue to be prohibited.

At issue is an entire conception of the destinies of human society from a perspective that, in many ways, seems to have adopted the apocalyptic idea of the end of the world from religions which are now in their sunset. Having replaced politics with the economy, now in order to secure governance even this must be integrated with the new paradigm of biosecurity, to which all other exigencies will have to be sacrificed. It is legitimate to ask whether such a society can still be defined as human or whether the loss of sensible relations, of the face, of friendship, of love can be truly compensated for by an abstract and presumably completely fictitious health security.

  Human beings NEED social interaction. Mass, perpetual “social distancing” is NOT living. It’s appropriate in a clinical setting, and for those with compromised immune systems. NOT for most people. And NOT for months. As for masks, the World Health Organization continues to advise NO MASKS for “healthy people.” Which “experts” do we obey, CDC/CDPH or WHO?
  
  These visitors to Mendo bring their money, and spend it here so that you (and I) can have the services we need via tax receipts. You are angry at them. Sit back and think about that. How many lies have “experts” told you in the last four months? How many times have they been hypocritical, even? Are you angry at them?

  The only reason for you to quarantine yourself for 3 1/2 months is if you had an infectious disease or a seriously compromised immune system. If you weren’t sick, then you have only yourself to blame for buying into the lies… lies that keep mutating with every shift of the wind. Too bad you didn’t use your time in isolation to do some in-depth research instead of accepting what the MSM and phony “fact checkers” were spoon feeding everyone.

I’d say that in a county with a population of over 86,000, 74 identified cases of flu over the last few months with no deaths, few hospitalizations and mostly asymptomatic is a very good sign that this scamdemic is pretty typical of flu season… except that it has been dragged out by the ridiculous isolation and masking orders that have had irreparable consequences on our economy and on the physical and mental health of so many.

The 6/24 update includes a line chart of COVID cases in this county. Is the updated chart available directly from a county health source, or did you at Mendovoice generate the chart from numerical data reports from the county? If it’s from the county, please inform us of the source URL so we can check the latest info.

  LOL, the reality is that the majority of Americans KNOW we’re being lied to each and every day by the “experts” and the “authorities,” and by Stockholm Syndrome “useful idiots” like yourself. Most people don’t believe in your cult doctrine, but go along to get along, including the idiotic thin sheet of cloth over the face “orders.”
  
  I have NEVER supported Trump or his real or alleged “agenda.”
  
  NO ONE here has said the virus is “fake.” That’s a Red Herring on your part. A tactic common with the extreme left, actually. The virus is real. The falsehoods undergirding the “Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with COVID-19” terror are what’s fake.
  
  As for “believing in science,” that’s something you extreme leftists do not. You know, the “men can ‘become women'” thing is anything BUT science. The BLM “protests” are not a danger amidst the COVID-19(84) fraud, but going to church is (allegedly) an act of mass murder. That’s not science. It’s called LYSENKO “science.”
  
  Oh, and if an extreme leftist such as yourself actually valued lives, Black or White, you’d be demanding Planned Barrenhood abortion slaughterhouses be closed immediately. But alas, just a “choice.”
  
  As for me, I will keep conveying the facts that our rulers don’t want people to know or think about.

You, however, have offered nothing but lame insults and false claims of what you think you remember you maybe read that someone said. I know, I know… it can be so confusing to follow a logical train of thought at the same time you are lapping up every word of the official false, shape-shifting narrative.

  2nd. The rational people don’t talk as loudly but we’re here, on the coast, too. The irony is that those of us who don’t buy this conspiratorial thinking are the ones who are still mostly sheltering in place and taking proper precautions when we go out, which as you noted is what has kept the numbers low.
  
  It’s maddening that so many of us on the coast wouldn’t even consider traveling now but are surrounded by tourists. Common sense has left the building. Replaced with suicidal adherence to deranged constellations of thought.

  Many centuries ago, Saint Anthony said:
  
  “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, “You are mad, you are not like us’.”
  
  Clearly that time has come, for when some of us point out the facts – usually referred to as “reality” – we are called lunatics BY lunatics. Only those who are cult members support and rabidly advocate for – without question or discussion – the ever-increasing outrages from power-mad “officials” and “experts.”
  
  If it only meant YOU suffered, I’d merely laugh at you. But in true cult fashion, we ALL must suffer with you, with the outrages now, and an economic apocalypse arriving soon, and enduring for years, later.

J.C., trying to reason with reality-challenged persons like Elizabeth is futile. She offers no references or sources supporting her opinions, but she’s cocksure that those of us challenging the official narrative are the problem. We refuse to buy into her “reality,” which has been defined for her by megalomaniacs with almost no scientific basis for their diktats. She haughtily dismisses my source of information warning about the dangers of face masks, that source being Dr. Russell Blaylock, a certified neurosurgeon who lists no less than 13 professional references for every claim made in the article (https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/dr-blaylock-face-masks-pose-serious-risks-healthy11).

What are little Lizzie’s credentials? A talent for hysteria and closing her mind to anything outside her emotional prison?

Here’s what you “people” are doing to our elders with your Cult of COVID Hysteria:

Wall Street Journal: “Isolating the Elderly Is Bad for Their Health”

“Plenty of research shows that social support and social “integration,” which refers to a person’s varied roles and responsibilities, play a big role in determining someone’s health and longevity. “The combination of social isolation and loneliness is very unhealthy for anyone, but for older adults, it’s particularly bad,” said Bert Uchino, University of Utah psychology professor who studies the ways in which social relationships affect health. “Just about every biological system is impacted in one way or another by psychosocial relationships.”

“The pandemic has been soul-crushing not just for the isolated elderly, but also for their children and care givers, who often have to follow strict rules they know might be as bad as the disease. “Everybody is trying to protect them. I understand. But this is not the right way,” said Atouria Bodaghi, a registered nurse at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix.”

  Everyone needs to stop arguing with them because there is no source, no line of reasoning, nothing you can say to have a real conversation. They’ll just accuse you of being mean and unthinking, of wanting to cause people suffering and misery, unless you think like them. There is no reasonable disagreement. They’ll continue to write in ways that seem mildly threatening. They’ll shut down any real conversation by suggesting that you don’t care about other people and by insulting you. It’s abusive. And it’s probably fun for him, if it’s this one guy, or them, if it’s actually two different people. Let this guy scream into the wind. This is not a place to have real conversations.

Your disingenuity would be shocking if not for the fact we see it every day on nearly every media outlet, spewing out the required Party Line about cult dogma.
  
  I am very willing to have “real conversations” with anyone who yearns for the truth, who seeks the actual facts of what the virus is, what it does, and the science – or lack thereof – of the Minitru-like proclamations of “experts” who “order” us around like an abusive spouse. You don’t want to – can’t, perhaps – have a conversation with non-cult members, because we don’t see the faux “reality” you believe in, and our very denial of that fake “reality” offends you deeply.

As I run through these responses to a perfectly reasonable, factual (please read other newspapers to verify, people) newspaper, I am struck by two things: People who like conspiracy theories write really long answers, filled with caps and “references.” And two, they are more likely to respond, (given the number of responses vs. those who agree with the article.) The virus is real. It kills people, especially the elderly. The economy is not worth killing people.

  I have a job in a rural community that has me frequently talking with a wide variety of folks in the area. I also see folks at the post office and check local groups on facebook every couple days. And my family, a mix of socal conservatives, bay area moderates, and Norcal growers, are a diverse crowd. For the most part, people I talk to don’t believe this COVID truther baloney. The same is probably true for most people reading the Mendovoice. I agree this group of conspiracy theory believers is a vocal minority. If you’re reading Mendovoice comments and feeling discouraged, you shouldn’t. Many more people in this county are being careful and considerate of their neighbors, than are devoting hours spreading misinformation online. They take the advice of health professionals. They are wear masks. They avoiding gatherings. They are checking in on their neighbors. Hang in there Mendo county. This seriously sucks, but most of us continue to stand in solidarity with our community. And thank you, Mendovoice, for your reportage.

  Marilynn— maybe you’re indignation would be believable if you hadn’t demanded that other commenters’ 1 st Amendment rights to free speech be abridged in this forum because they were making jokes via satire about conspiracy theorists. Like it or not, most people in Mendocino county don’t agree with your take. You are free to voice your own opinion. Others are free to do the same. You have called for others voices to be censored. So it seems as though your belief in freedom is highly selective and idiosyncratic, not exactly the kind of thinking that is good for lots of people to adopt in a democracy. Thank goodness you are in the minority. Continue typing into the ether. Most people who actually live here are not buying what you are selling. The sign at the intersection of highway 20 and shoreline highway in Ft. Bragg says “all we ask, wear a mask.” It’s remained there for days if not weeks. It is simply what the majority of people in this county believe: the pandemic is real. It is killing people. End of story.

Ft Bragg resident and others: Stop making up falsehoods about me. I have NEVER suggested censoring anyone. My comment, if y’all can read, was aimed at some lamebrained clown pretending to be another person who has posted here. Impersonating another individual without their consent, especially when it is meant to mock or misrepresent that individual is not protected under Free Speech! So along with false representation with malicious intent masked as some lame form of “satire,” you can add libel. You folks are on an eye-rolling roll.

This is a GLOBAL thing-there is not enough cooperation between countries to be in on a hoax of that scale. It is naive and irresponsible to believe that one must take no precautions on the behalf of their health and others. Whether or not you believe in the pandemic, it is people like you that keep it spreading.

The hoax isn’t that there’s a virus. The hoax is that it’s deadly enough to warrant shutting down society. Current mortality rate in the United States is roughly .3%. Not 3%, .3%. The hoax is that this is some big world ending, very deadly virus. It’s not that at all. It’s certainly worth having a discussion of having our most vulnerable population isolate, but shutting down everything is absurd. Wear a mask, socially distance, yes let’s do that. Close businesses, close schools? There’s no data showing that’s successful or necessary. Hospitals are not being overwhelmed. It’s easy to be a social justice warrior when you’re not the one who will be out on the street, no food, no home, no job, no hope. Millions of our brothers, sisters, children will be facing this crisis soon. Their lives destroyed not by a virus, but by the government who took everything away from them for the impossible dream of saving everyone from a .3% chance of dying.

The headline states that one of those that died of Covid19 was a Mendocino County employee. The question from the Mendocino County Workers Memorial Fund which issues grants to the survivors of workers killed on the job, is did the worker that died contract Covid 19 on the job?

OMG! OMG! BE AFRAID! BE VERRRRRY AFRAID!

The death rate in Mendocino County is 0.02% – that’s ZERO POINT ZERO TWO PERCENT.

  We were biking the Haul Rd trail yesterday and saw a number of people walking and biking with the face nappies on, because, you know, fresh ocean air is so very dangerous. Most people were not, however, and I was glad to see a number of children enjoying themselves free of such an encumbrance. Sadly though, there was one little boy who looked to be about three or four at the most with mouth and nose covered against the fresh air. That is child abuse in my book.

  Marilyn, I read not long in the past that ONE BILLION children worldwide have had their schooling utterly disrupted by government decrees Along with crippling their education, their social development has been crippled, as well. God help the generations growing up in the midst of this un-natural disaster.
  
  The damage to these kids is permanent. Those who have done this to humanity need to burn in Hell. Literally.

That’s not how mortality(death) rates are calculated. Not for the flu, coronavirus or disease. Logical fallacy few will fall for komrade 😉

  Awww, did I embarrass you with a RELEVANT to the little folks statistic?
  
  No one but System stooges cares about your lying “statistics.” They only want to know how much of an actual risk something is to THEM and their family. Your lying “Case Fatality Rate” is inherently dishonest, since only KNOWN cases are considered, and that’s assuming honesty on the part of those giving the numbers.
  
  In summary, death FROM – not “with” – COVID-19 is down the list of causes of death in Mendocino County.
John Tokalenko on September 2, 2020 at 11:35 PM said:

Oh, and calling me “komrade,” implying I’m some sort of “nefarious agent,” is hilarious.

In reality, it is you who are a “komrade,” supporting and cheerleading Total Government at every opportunity. I’m sure you’re getting a stiffy at the idea of mass forced injections of the sheeple in as little as 8-10 weeks.

  JC your statistics are not RELEVANT lol and YOU are the liar. Very easy to determine how mortality rate is calculated. Are YOU embarrassed you can’t do simple math or you got caught inventing statistics? Have a lovely day 🙂

  You are HILARIOUS!
  
  If Mendocino County had 100,000 residents, that would mean 17 dead would be a death rate of .017%.
  
  Since we have less than 90,000, the rate is slightly higher.
  
  “People” like you are dangerously delusional. You attempt to “argue” using sophistry, hoping you can con less “clever” folks with meaningless or even fraudulent “statistics.”

  LOL, Justakook, you were “trying to be polite and civil” with your ad hominem epithet of calling me “komrade”?
  
  Like I said, dangerously delusional.
  
  It is “people” like YOU who have DESTROYED countless lives in Mendocino County, California, America, and the world with your irrational fears and/or demonic malice. More people’s lives have been wrecked than have died of COVID-19. Wrecked by government decree and the orgasmic cheerleading of someone like you.
  
  In a just, sane society, someone like you would be in a padded cell, or behind bars.

  John, this justadude clown doesn’t deserve a civil reply. He is too emotionally invested in the scam and too lazy or mentally challenged to do the in-depth research that corroborates what so many of us have been trying to say, not just on this site. If his views had any validity he would offer a legitimate critique, but he is obviously incapable of that.
  
  You may have noticed that I am no longer responding to anything posted here that is nothing more than a personal attack or a twisting of facts or a lockstep acceptance of the official CONVID narrative without critical thinking. Best of health to you. Stay positive. Truth will prevail.
Justadude on September 4, 2020 at 2:17 PM said:

I just wanted to point out that you cannot die from covid if you’ve never had covid. Therefor, including those in a mortality rate is erroneous. It neither shows how likely you are to get covid, there are some algorithms attempting to do this but if you question the county health numbers you’ll certainly question those models. Nor does it show how likely you are to die from covid, that’s the aforementioned case fatality rate that you so distrust.

The komrade comment was made with a wink emoji since anyone with even a cursory understanding of statistics would understand your error. Since you took it so seriously enough to bring up erections for injections, where you crossed the line so far it’s a dot to you, maybe it did hit a little close to home. You don’t win with RANDOM CAPITALIZATION, false statistics and blatant ad hominem, not jest. Enjoy your basement cubicle in Lubyanka!

  Interesting article on RT.com, titled “The 1% blunder: How a simple but fatal math mistake by US Covid-19 experts caused the world to panic and order lockdowns.” I wonder if Doohan is capable of comprehending what it means for Mendo County’s vaunted stats.

  RT.com, also known as Russia Today, is Communist State run media out of Moscow. I hope Dr. Doohan and every American understands what is written on RT.com is Russian propaganda and has no basis in fact.

It seems crazy to me that people are trying to calculate the mortality rate based solely on positive COVID tests. Is the belief really that only those tested have it or have had it? This is not sound logic.

Also, food for thought, https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54025708

Let’s get kids back to school please, families are suffering. Is it really an expectation that anyone who has kids stay how for distance learning? What about single parent families? The only thing being protected here is health and government officials saving face for an obvious over reaction.
