Sutter Hospital in Crescent City in Del Norte County is a bit of an outlier because it services Pelican Bay max security prison. A lot of families come from all over the state to visit their incarcerated family members. I don't know exactly what difference this makes, but I'm sure it makes some. https://krcrtv.com/north-coast-news/eureka-local-news/del-no...

I happened to look at San Quentin Covid rate for August. It was zero.

Stories like this happen going on since the beginning of the pandemic. I’m shocked at the number of people who casually skip over the body bags and refrigerated trailers to declare COVID to be vastly overblown.

Check out the content in https://reddit.com/r/COVIDAteMyFace It’s morbid, for sure, but eye opening (ignore the distasteful comments sections, focus on the post content; posted to provide some semblance of insight into the unvaccinated’s take on COVID after unsuccessful outcomes). My ~90 year old grandmother refuses to get vaccinated due to misinformation on a major news network. She asked me if I get my flu shot, an…

Just another example of how Delta is tearing its way through the under-vaccinated parts of the country. But it's important to remember it isn't just "red states" that are susceptible, but really any conservative region, even in deep blue states. Meanwhile in NY, where nearly all restrictions have been lifted for months, the Delta wave has barely registered and the rate of new cases has flattened if not started to dec…

The Northeast seems to be doing better than the rest of the country, but it's still not zero risk. The first major breakthrough outbreaks were in the Northeast, and we're definitely not 100% vaccinated up here. (There isn't even a vaccine that's approved for 100% of the population!) Just looking out my window in Brooklyn, people in my neighborhood walk around outside with masks on. I gave that up a couple months ago,…

Hundreds of bars and restaurants are packed literally everyday all over NYC with unmasked patrons and that's been happening for months now. And while kid are mostly unvaccinated, they don't tend to be in restaurants much these days. Among adults, something like 80% are now vaccinated in NYC (71-86% depending on borough).

Combine that with the fact that Delta makes up almost every case of COVID in NY now, it's hard to see who is even left for the virus to infect.

Nobody understands...it's incessant distractions to keep everyone off balance...including Afghanistan...the major black Swan that is coming will make you forget all your nit picky squabbles...and Sars

Food and water will be weaponized, and you won't be able to get any at any price...you've ignored the food shortage headlines so far...and you haven't prepared, so it's your fault...possible war in the far East too...

I have family in CA. I am concerned about the recall election. As bad as the situation is today, it might get worse if a republican replaces Newsom, which looks like a possibility :(

Oregon is a blue state, but it has some very large red areas and those areas are getting hit very hard by delta now.

I bet the inmates are required to be vaccinated and tested. The thing I'm noting is that family members are not and they come from all over, interacting with gas station employees, etc...

In fairness, there's no shortage of schadenfreude in the opposing echo chambers too. Plenty of obnoxious vaccine advocates suffering untimely deaths, miscarriages, strokes, etc.
