MENDOCINO Co., 9/8/21 — Three new COVID-19 fatalities were announced today by the Mendocino County Department of Public Health, marking the 65th, 66th and 67th pandemic related deaths in Mendocino County thus far — with more than 20% of those occurring since Aug. 1. Health officials say that all three patients were unvaccinated, like most of the fatalities since the start of the Delta surge, but these victims were younger than usual; a 36-year-old woman from Ukiah, a 43-year old man from Covelo, a 47-year-old man from Ukiah.
Information regarding any possible comorbidities has not been released.
These deaths mark the first fatalities announced in more than a week. They started coming faster last month, though, with four deaths being reported in four days at one point. Updates from the county also appear to be coming less frequently — with multiple deaths over an unspecified time frame sometimes announced in a single email. County staff are asking Mendocino County residents to comply with guidelines from the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Public Health.
“At this time Public Health asks all Mendocino County residents to exercise caution when placing themselves in situations that could expose them to COVID-19, especially considering the new more infectious Delta variant,” county officials said in a statement. “Vaccination, masking and social distancing remain the best options for combating the Covid-19 Virus.”
A total of 28 new positive cases were reported in the county today, with 154 cases announced since Friday. So far 49,800 of Mendocino County’s estimated 91,000 residents are fully vaccinated, but there have been 245 breakthrough infections. There have been at least 6,346 confirmed cases — 405 of which are currently in isolation. So far 5,850 COVID patients have been released from isolation after recovering. There are 16 COVID-19 patients who are currently hospitalized, and eight more in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

So when you say “UN-VACCINATED”, is that people that have had 1 vaccine, or 2 and then before 2 weeks after the 2nd shot, caught covid, and therefore not counted as fully vaccinated? And how obese were they? Taking drugs? Alchoholic? TELL THE TRUTH. THE LIES ARE GETTING OLD.
Unvaccinated means just that. Partially vaccinated is the term used before you have received both doses. As per the article comorbidities have not been released. THE LIES ARE GETTING OLD!
Interesting that people who are unvaccinated are sick. Is that a wilful choice, risk? They are at a higher risk to get more ill, possibly die. People who are vaccinated seem to be at less risk and in general are recovering easer.
Also. Everyone can carry the virus so we really dont know who someone is getting the virus from.
Ultimatly we are back to were the mask, be smart about where and when we go places, wash and distance from otheres.
See Israel that are mostly vaxxed and you’ll see they are getting sick because the fake vax they took is for the original strain, NOT for Delta. However, those recovered (millions upon millions) have immunity towards ANY variant that arises.
Da Nile ain’t just a river in Egypt! Get the jab, it very well may save your life!
Or it can disable you or kill you … your risk to take.
Lorenzo more scared of USA jab then ccp virus…dumb commie troll!!
2 years ago how many people died from the flu? Are the numbers comparable?
Let’s not forget folks, these are “covid-related deaths” not death by covid. Many many preexisting health problems play a huge role here but they fail to mention them!!
Oh, and since there is no way to test specifically for the delta variant how do they know that’s what is taking folks down? Hmmm?
Just once id love an answer from a credible reader and not simple guesses or opinions, but facts!!
Exactly! thank you.
Remember the days when so called news reporters frantically put out articles whenever anyone got the flu? Me neither… the fear mongering is nauseating and a complete disservice to the people.
Over two million people in Israel have gotten a booster while in Mendocino only 54% are fully vaccinated either with one J&J or two of Moderna or Pfizer. Israel did experience a third wave after they removed all restrictions even thought they were 70% fully vaccinated. Because of boosters or the third jab, the numbers are dropping and they are opening the country to foreign travelers again.
Here in Mendocino unfortunately too many people thing wrongly that this is just the flu. Young people’s lungs don’t fill up with the ordinary flu nor do they go on respirators or hand in commas for two months between life and death. If you are on the fence, jump and get jabbed.
Every one knows that the flu affects young people waay more than the CCP virus.
Covid is not the flu! When the hospital is full of people dying of complications from the vaccine I may reconsider…
Justadork thinks the flu is gone from the earth and believes all Gov propaganda.
Loser Lorenzo is scared of a little shot and believes Russian propaganda! Was that as fun for you as it was for me? 😉
