Virus notes: July 1, 2020; Consequences

Posted by Badlands Journa... on Thursday, 2 July 2020

MERCED (BLJ) – The Merced County Public Health Department on June 30 reported 1,064 Covid-19 cases (240 new since June 26) and 11 deaths. On July 1, the case number was up to 1,131 (67 new); deaths remain the same at 11.

 

Like so many American communities during this pandemic, some of our leaders became public enemies, and some other “leaders”  followed along. The result is that local government is now unable to control the spread of the virus.

For several weeks, County public health has operated on the following protocol rather than on contact tracing:

When a facility is determined to be in an outbreak protocol, the Merced County Department of Public Health works closely with the facility to mitigate the spread of disease. Affected close contacts are contacted by the facility/employer.

Virus notes: July 19 -- Merced County slimes reporters’ investigation

Posted by Badlands Journa... on Sunday, 19 July 2020

 

MERCED – Faced with advanced warning of a well-researched statewide article in CalMatters about the abandonment of contact tracing in Merced County, County officials made a bad situation worse by lying, obfuscating, denying, while dragging a craven local press along with them.

When the next county health obfuscator speaks ...

Posted by Badlands Journa... on Sunday, 26 July 2020

The next time local media is presented with an additional dose of county-health obfuscation, we suggest some  questions:

1. Is any contact tracing going on in the county?

2. How many tests are available to the public per day?

3. Have screening protocols changed since April?

4. What kind of tests are available to the public in Merced County, virus or antibody?

5. How long does it take for test results?
