I recommend Sara Cody, who I refuse to call a doctor or scientist, do something smart for a change and roll-out a COVID Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome Support Program to help all of the people she scared for two-years. Including the high-school kids showing up to the gym in masks and latex gloves – they need a leader to step up and say “take off the masks, it’s ok.”

It’s sad what this County has done to people, especially the kids.

Occasionally boasts in comment sections about his rent deadbeat status, unsure what other taxpayer programs he subsists on.
About the only employer he could possibly be working for is a local, state or federal government bureau where cutting deadwood is nearly impossible.

Someone claims the President & his Admin has been Violating the Constitution since Day 1 when they say:
“…the government CANNOT allow ANY deaths because it is unconstitutional to in effect give a death sentence to one that has committed no crime. Especially without due process of law. …”

When will the Impeachment Proceedings begin?

More adults between 18 and 45 died of fentanyl overdoses in 2020 than ANY OTHER Leading cause of death, including COVID-19, motor vehicle accidents, cancer and suicide.

“Fentanyl overdoses have surged to the Leading Cause of Death for
adults between the ages of 18 – 45,
according to an analysis of U.S. government data.”

Mexico and China are the primary sources for the flow of fentanyl into the U.S., according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people 18 – 45 years old,
37,208 in 2020 and 41,587 in 2021, died of Fentanyl overdoses.

Comparatively,
between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 15, 2021, there were more than 53,000 COVID-19 deaths
among those 18 – 49 yrs old, according to CDC data.

The DEA announced a surge in the sale of fake prescription pills containing deadly opioids on social media platforms like Snapchat.

Fentanyl also killed more Americans in general in 2020 than car accidents, gun violence, breast cancer and suicide, according to the analysis of CDC data

Overall drug overdose deaths are expected to surpass 100,000 in 2021, according to preliminary CDC data,
representing a 28% increase between April 2020 and April 2021.

Fentanyl drug seizures at the border have reached record highs in 2021, according to data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

The reality is that Covid hospitalizations & deaths are at their lowest ever in 2 years,
Across the entire 9 Bay Area counties only 42 ICU beds are occupied by someone,
that also had a positive covid test.

Across Santa Clara County hospitals,
Patients that occupy an ICU bed that also tested pos for covid number only 18 ICU beds.

And when ‘Reality’ hits garbage analysis – move the goalposts to support the obsession.

From covid (now at its lowest severity and lowest levels), shift to general hospital ICU capacity (not even related to covid), then obsess over waste water,
next its mixing up deaths for any reason with covid… etc etc.

What next –
Maybe publish the daily BED-PAN availability?

Gotta ‘GO’ somewhere – right?

An experton CBS evening News — a highly credible non-partisan broadcast and CBS news has won many awards for journalism — said that spikes infections are expected and the fact that deaths are not increasing proves the vaccines are working.

You keep talking about infections but haven’t shown us any evidence that deaths are increasing. That’s because they’re not.

We have to remain vigilant of course but ca patriot is right that it’s basically endemic by now so it’s about returning to normal while controlling covid as well as we can.

He does need to take the vaccine and boosted though as do we all. I have three doses so far, the first two and the booster.

Which again, 85% vaccination rate in Santa clara county that’s pretty good. And deaths are very low about 6 per week.

If he only put half as much of his time into being successful at work or in business, maybe he would not have to depend on taxpayers to bail-out his rent payments or even be able to own a residence.

Really, in the entire Bay Area roughly 350 hospitalized people have had a pos Covid test,
and in all Santa Clara County hospitals only 19 people with Covid occupy ICU beds.
It is basically the lowest levels of hospitalization since Covid tracking 2 years ago.

Your note has NOTHING about this.

Santa Clara County was one of the first counties in the USA to mandate a lockdown. Most of the public health restrictions: masking, vaccination, social distancing were all imposed here to the max extent possible, without explanation, without discussion without notice. For 2 years, the 2 million residents of the county have been anxiously awaiting the next bureaucratic diktat. Even the elected political leaders have been beaten down by the County Executive and the Public Health department, which reports to him.

Well, on Tuesday, the County Executive, who is the boss of the public health officer, in a public meeting, made a complete fool of himself—and the elected leaders who have been going along. In defending the tragic mass layoffs of county employees, Jeffrey V. Smith let it slip that he now believes that masking protects the wearer, not others around the wearer—an incredible change that calls the bluff of the last 2 years of public health messages.

The casual flipping of the switch suggests we can’t trust anything Smith says and he provided no basis for it—he simply pointed vaguely to research without specifics. It goes without saying that this change was manufactured without any discussion, and for the sole purpose of justifying an imperious decision to fire county employees or put them on unpaid leave. A new day, a new tune for Smith, but tragedy for county residents and employees.

Only ONE county supervisor (Sup. Ellenberg) showed any outrage at the decision. While Wasserman was puzzled, he didn’t do anything to hold Jeffrey Smith accountable. Otto Lee, Cindy Chavez (running for San Jose mayor), and Joseph Simitian just let him get away with it. FOR SHAME. For 2 years, the bureaucrats wrecked the county and wrested control from the politically accountable leadership, and now that same leadership is going to meekly acquiesce to Jeffrey Smith’s reversal? What do they even believe? Thank you Sup. Ellenberg, but I am very angry at the remainder of the Supervisors at not pushing Smith.

We all know that Emperor Jeffrey Smith is a problem and he needs to be fired. The question is, will 3 members of the board step up to the challenge?
