By Samuel Strait – Reporter at Large – January 25, 2022 Most of the citizens will not pay much attention to Lord Stutz when he gives his periodic briefings on the state of Covid within Del Norte County. Rather than completely ignore his regular bleating about the current state of his statistical analysis, it might be noted that more evolution has occurred from the two year narrative even here in closeted Del Norte County. While there remains the chronically afflicted with MFP, it would appear that a certain rationality has emerged among the population as the narrative continues to evolve then crumble. Now that cloth masks has been dismissed as ineffective, one wonders how long it will take for the entirety of mask mandated and the wearing of masks to go out of style, shortly to be followed by the ineffectiveness of endless vaccines. Back to Lord Stutz's weekly pronouncements. It seems that the quarantine and isolation requirements will be reduced and concerns over close contact are to be done away with. Looks like Lord Stutz, or at least the CDC, has realized how pointless "contact tracing" has become, only two years too late and billions of dollars down the rabbit hole. Nice job public health. Now the Yurok's in Klamath have a nice expensive castle to maintain. As to the quarantine and isolation changes, it didn't do much good to have people in quarantine long after they ceased to be infectious, but yet, another example of government simply "doing something" so as not to be perceived as "sitting on their hands". Not that it ever accomplished anything as has been revealed with the experience of the Omicron Variant. Public Health, a la Lord Stutz goes on to say that while cases of Covid have gone up, 134 new cases, a total of 326 active cases, only five have resulted in hospitalization. The question that might have been asked is, "Do the five Covid positives cases represent actual Covid cases or patients that were admitted for some other condition only to test positive for Covid sans symptoms?" The CDC has determined that over fifty percent of hospital admissions that test positive for Covid do not in fact receive any treatment for Covid. Seems that there is another dynamic in play, more money anybody? The remainder of Stutz's utterances are painfully obtuse, with "tightly fitting" masks, testing, no close contact, and isolation. All things that are either irrelevant or pointless and should be left to the individual rather than at the beck and call of authority. This may offend the MFPers, but we have listened to this drivel for two years now and none of the promised outcomes have come to pass. Vaccines have been found to be nothing more than therapeutics and do not stop infection. Nor do they prevent transmission. This has become well established in the past eighteen months. The psychosis of serious Covid outcomes has dwindled as people experience the disintegration of the hysteria surrounding the Covid narrative. Much of America has returned to a more normal place. We, in Del Norte County, will continue to be regaled by Lord Stutz's propaganda until it become so painfully obvious that it is propaganda…
