Contra Costa Health Officials Say COVID-19 Hospitalizations Down, Health Order Could Be Modified

Tony Hicks – Contra Costa County’s rate of COVID-19 related hospitalizations are down, and health officials are currently working out details to possibly modify the standing health order requiring people in restaurants and gyms to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative test and wear masks while inside.

Dr. Ori Tzvieli, the medical director of the county health department, told the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, “We are working in coordination with other counties in the region who have indoor masking orders to establish criteria for these counties to ease some of these restrictions. We’re expecting to announce something with details at the end of this week.”

According to the health department’s COVID-19 dashboard on its website, 14 day averages of hospitalizations in Contra Costa are down from 201 on Sept. 1 to 82 on Monday. The number Tuesday was 73.

Deputy Health Director Erika Jenssen told the board of the most recent statistics, “we are cautious, happy about these numbers, but also cautious.”

Jenssen said the Pfizer vaccine is currently available to people ages 12 and up in the county and it’s possible it could become available to children 5 to 11 under an emergency use authorization issued later this month.

“We do expect that younger children ages 5 to 11 years old will be able to start being vaccinated somewhere around Nov. 1, depending on all those variables,” Jenssen said. “We are incredibly pleased and hopeful about this because it will mean that kids in that age group, 5 to 11, could’ve received their first dose by Thanksgiving and be fully vaccinated in time for the winter holidays.”

Though the state last week mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for school children in 2022, it likely won’t be mandated for children ages 5-11 until the FDA gives full approval, probably in July.

Jenssen also said the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an advisory strongly recommending pregnant women get vaccinated.

“We know that vaccination rates are much lower among pregnant people — only 31 percent of people who are pregnant have been vaccinated,” Jenssen said.

LOL, the only thing the pregnant is going to get out of it is MISCARRIAGE.

19 months of warning everyone.

Medical Team October 6, 2021 - 8:45 AM - 8:45 AM

All pregnant women who get the vaccine get is an immune response, nothing more.

If a mom chooses to not be vaccinated, there is no evidence that the virus itself can lead to birth defects, miscarriage, or any other problems. But a fever in early pregnancy, from COVID-19 or any other cause, can raise the chances of birth defects. And severe lung illnesses late in your pregnancy can make you more likely to deliver your baby prematurely. Some babies born to women who had coronavirus were born preterm. But it’s not clear whether the virus was to blame.

It’s a different time to be pregnant, however, thankfully the vaccine is one or many ways to keep both mom and baby safe.

WC Resident October 6, 2021 - 9:30 AM - 9:30 AM

@Medical Team – the medical teams advising about to be and pregnant women don’t seem to be persuasive as a significant number of women (about 60%) are choosing to not get vaccinated. See https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations-pregnant-women

I suspect that inability to persuade is that science does not yet support vaccination of pregnant women to the point that doctors are comfortable with advising “yes, vaccination is safe for you and the baby.” For example, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2104983 is from April and says there is insufficient data.

In August it’s tilting towards that the vaccine is safe though I see that’s based on self-reported data sources such as v-safe rather than controlled studies. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0811-vaccine-safe-pregnant.html

Sleve October 6, 2021 - 11:09 AM - 11:09 AM

Our first one miscarried right after getting vaccine, #2 going along good so far, no complications.

im not saying dont do it, just be careful and minimize your risks.

I don’t know why this is breaking news as it happened in June.

BREAKING: PRA’d Synopsis Report from Sonoma County Sheriff’s office reveals otherwise healthy 15 year old died in June from heart issues due to second Covid vaccine two days prior.

Sonoma county has zero pediatric Covid deaths. Tragically, at least one vaccine related death.

In other words, there has been massive non-compliance with their ‘mandates’ and the county health directors look like idiots.

100% on point.

My family has eaten out twice since the new mandate came, both times I was expecting to show my card, but I was not asked either time.

Friends went into SF for a tour last Friday, she stated no one asked her out there either.

The two bowling alleys in the area are not enforcing it either.

The non-compliance is from the customer and the establishment And since the public health department cannot enforce it themselves and Law Enforcement is apparently unwilling to enforce it, they the public health department needs to change their tune.

32NK October 5, 2021 - 4:56 PM - 4:56 PM

You lost me at pregnant people.

The county Health Department is a joke and they’ve lost all credibility. Nothing is based on science or numbers. Every decision they make has zero logic behind it. The numbers were already declining before all these new indoor mandates, not because of them.

Stop listening to these dictators or in a few weeks they’ll be back to scaring you to stay inside your homes and convincing you to cancel Thanksgiving.

MYOCARDITIS due to vaccination is a MAJOR CONCERN says senior associate scientist with Pfizer. He went on to say that recent tests are inconclusive but may lead to the vaccine getting, “pulled from the market.”

I’m with you, but they have overplayed their card so much that they’re going to stick with their lies.
No way that they are ever going to admit to anything and risk Trillions of dollars in payouts, wrongful death lawsuits etc.
Sherri Tenpenny, Lee Merritt, Peter McCollough, Mike Adams, Stew Peters, Judy Mikovitz and hundreds of others have sounded the alarm of what’s coming with the mass die offs.

Me October 5, 2021 - 9:38 PM - 9:38 PM

Interesting. You want to say it’s a major concern with the vaccine but you don’t want to say it’s a major concern from Covid? Here’s a number you might not know.

1 in 6000+ teens were reported to get Myocarditis but, over 20% of people who got Covid. Ended up having sever heart problems. So you tell me. What’s worse. The vaccine or Covid?

@Anon

You also come up with such false info. Here’s proof. Go ahead and pull up some other false info

https://health.ucdavis.edu/health-news/newsroom/heart-inflammation-covid-19-and-the-rare-side-effects-of-the-vaccine/2021/09

yoyohop October 5, 2021 - 10:04 PM - 10:04 PM

Me – A Pfizer scientist stated that myocarditis is a major concern, not Yoyohop. Reading comprehension: learn it.

The article you cited says: “About 20-30% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 show heart problems.” This is not a statement of causality, but a statement of correlation. This is yet another variation of the people dying “with Covid”, not “of Covid” trick.

The article you cited continues: “Rare heart inflammation cases (around one in 6000) were reported in teenagers after their COVID-19 vaccination. These cases have been mild and self-resolving.”

Yet there are nearly 16K vaccine deaths reported to VAERS. 19% of the deaths related are to cardiac issues. Is dying your idea of self-resolving?

“Recent reported deaths include two patients [VAERS I.D. 1655100] who died after their second dose of Pfizer, including a 13-year-old female, a 15-year-old boy (VAERS I.D. 1498080) who previously had COVID, was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in May 2021 and died four days after receiving his second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine when he collapsed on the soccer field and went into ventricular tachycardia; and a 13-year-old girl (VAERS I.D. 1505250) who died after suffering a heart condition after receiving her first dose of Pfizer.”

@yoyohop

Can you tell me in my reply I said anything about deaths? I was showing the difference of how much easier people get heart problems at a much higher rate then the vaccine will give. Yes it is a concern as everyone knows that. But, More people actually do recover from the vaccine related issues then then people who had Covid related issues. Btw, Not all of the 16k deaths were from the vaccine. As they already stated that a number of deaths were from other causes. But lets just say 16k was the number right. Here’s a stat for you.

185,788,098 have been fully vaccinated. Yet as you stated. 16k deaths. I will even push it to 20k deaths just for the sake. That is only 20,000 deaths out of 185.7 million people who are FULLY vaccinated. And lets just say 15k with issues of the vaccine. So out of all numbers. Lets say 35k issues from vaccines right? 185.7 million people that were fully vaccinated. 35k people had issues. Now more then double that number of people and you have how many people have had at least 1 shot. 397 million.

You’re telling me that 397 million people who got at least 1 shot and 187.7 million people who are fully vaccinated with ONLY 35k people that had issues. You’re going to complain about that but not say how bad it is when only 44 million people got Covid, “Even if it was more like double 88 million” and over 705k “Most likely double that as well but will keep it at 705k” died and thousands more with are having issues because of Covid? Do you see how much of a hypocrite you are? Really….

Like I have stated. It is very sad to see anyone die or have a issue with anything. I wish everything that was given we would all be ok. And I wish Covid was like the flu or cold. But the reality it’s not. Choosing 1 side and not going off the numbers is just wrong. I hope they can get this figured out and I hope this Covid pandemic gets over with soon. I have lost a number of people to this virus so I see what it has done. I maybe a little more cautious then others as I was born with a heart defect. But, That doesn’t stop me from going out. I will still wear a mask until I feel like it’s safe for me. If people don’t want to wear a mask. That is cool too. I have never had a issue with people not wearing a mask. Have fun with it. Live your life the way you want to.

yoyohop October 6, 2021 - 9:34 AM - 9:34 AM

Me -“fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events” are ever reported to VAERS. says a 2010 federal study commissioned by HHS and performed by Harvard consultants on behalf of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

With that in mind, how about you run those numbers again.

But I like what you said, “Live your life the way you want to.” -That’s all we’re asking.

Me October 6, 2021 - 12:55 PM - 12:55 PM

@yoyohop

You’re quoting a study dated back 11 years ago. I am going off numbers that have been released and numbers you have given me. “15k” that’s the numbers we have. So there’s no other numbers to go off. It’s still a whole lot safer for the vaccines.

Anon October 6, 2021 - 4:24 PM - 4:24 PM

More people have been Murdered by these “vaccines” then all of the other vaccines combined.

May the Unconstitutional mandates Fail the same way contact tracing, masking and social distancing failed.

It was very refreshing to hear of a Union shop where only 38% employees were vaxxed. The rest did not want it and all knew stories of friends / relatives being destroyed by these injections.

I guarantee this: They will lift some of these restrictions, which will cause the number of cases to increase. Of course, they will encourage testing, especially asymptomatic people, during this time. Got to get in those false positives to bulk up that number. Then, they will use the increased numbers to continue to push their “vaccine” on the little kids, who have very little risk. It is ALL about control.

By the comments here you can see the amount of people surprised at the “pregnant people” language and know just how many of our friends and neighbors didn’t quite realize how far the marxists and communists have come. This is it. If you think this is bad, imagine what they are teaching your children.

It’s time to start paying attention. I haven’t been posting here for my health.

Changing language it part and parcel to a communist takeover. Just look at how they changed the actual definition of “vaccine” to fit the new shot they are attempting to force on you.

Birthing people is mild compared to everything else that has taken place right under your nose.

All they wanted was the right to marry. 20 years later our whole society is subverted and perverted. Nothing but weak girly men in every avenue of life. Few left to call out the nonsense.

I just went out to dinner last night at a local restaurant and was never asked for proof of vaccination. Glad to see that some businesses actually show some common sense.

No pregnant woman with any sense about her would get vaccinated, that is just stupid to do and subject the growing fetus to all sorts of harms way.
C’mon people you really aren’t that stupid are you, luckily most pregnant women don’t get it!

The Observer October 6, 2021 - 9:41 AM - 9:41 AM

I saw two recent news stories about unvaccinated women who caught Covid while pregnant. They only got to hold their newborn babies once and died within hours of having given birth. The actual scientists are telling pregnant women to get vaccinated, because it works and doesn’t harm either them or their unborn children.

Sancho Panza October 6, 2021 - 12:06 PM - 12:06 PM

Please cite your scientific data source, The Observer, about the vaccine working and doesn’t harm either mother and unborn. Since the beginning of time women have died in childbirth…

Me October 6, 2021 - 4:52 PM - 4:52 PM

@Sancho Panza

I don’t think you understand this persons post. When you said “Since the beginning of time women have died in childbirth…” As a secret, There is currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems in women or men. Vaccines don’t cause a child to die.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/pregnancy.html

It’s very easy to look up facts. So yes, Vaccines don’t harm the mother or unborn.

The Observer October 6, 2021 - 5:25 PM - 5:25 PM

I’m sure the CDC has no credibility with you, but here’s what they say about Covid-19 vaccines while pregnant or breastfeeding.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/pregnancy.html

Its guidance also applies to women trying to get pregnant or who might get pregnant in the future.

Sancho Panza October 7, 2021 - 11:48 AM - 11:48 AM

@Me~I understood what The Observer was stating…there is a causational relationship…unvaccinated pregnant women who contract covid will die after giving birth…false premise.

@The Observer~Thank you for responding with the CDC guidelines. I do use them as a source when I read the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. First, I must point out that women who follow prenatal care will see their obstetrician ~9 visits, so there must be dialogue about risks and benefits of taking the vaccine..not surprised that only 30% of these patients are deciding to take the vaccine.
If you see the CDC page you linked under Safety and Effectiveness shows that “No safety concerns were found in animal studies” Early data on the safety includes data from self reporting systems VAERS, V-Safe, VSD and CISA Project. These are the same ‘self-reporting’ systems currently criticized by many for the vaccine adverse events.
No adverse pregnancy-related outcomes occurred in previous clinical trials that were used for Ebola vaccination, not Covid-19! This leads me to believe that the clinical trials in all trimesters are happening in real-world.
Research item number 1 from The New England Journal of Medicine concluded:

“Preliminary findings did not show obvious safety signals among pregnant persons who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines. However, more longitudinal follow-up, including follow-up of large numbers of women vaccinated earlier in pregnancy, is necessary to inform maternal, pregnancy, and infant outcomes.”

I agree, it is easy to look up facts if you read. Vaccines should be discussed with your doctor– as pregnant women are obviously doing.

Luke October 6, 2021 - 12:09 PM - 12:09 PM

I take this as an indirect recognition that the vaccine mandate didn’t work out as well as expected. The only place I have seen enforcing the vaccine mandate is the Sunvalley mall food court, which is ironic because they constantly have rodent outbreaks. Most other restaurants either closed down their indoor dining or have signs on the door but are not actively enforcing it.
