Gold Beach looks for approval of 'granny units' By Julie Akins For The Pilot
In its latest effort to make progress on the lack of affordable housing, the Gold Beach City Council on Monday asked Curry County to pre-approve additional dwelling unit plans for home owners who want to offer a year
around rental on their property. While the ordinance allowing for so called “granny units” has been in place, people haven’t always known how to get the process started. This plan would allow them to access one stop shopping at the county’s planning office without having to wait. “People want to do it, they just
don’t know how. This gives them a plan and a pre-approval which can save them time and money,” said Mayor Tami Kaufman of the council’s decision. Since the county is the agency which processes permits and inspections for the city, the request goes to them from the council. “I expect them to approve
it,” said Kaufman. The fast track additional unit plan is just one of many processes Gold Beach has implemented. It’s also restricted the number of vacation rentals in residential zones to 21 and as properties turn over, they expect to bring that number down, according to the mayor.
Additionally, Kaufman is working with NeighborWorks Umpqua to identify four acres to build 50 units of affordable housing. “The median is said to $850 in rent per month, but that’s not reflective of new people coming into the market. For a person More GRANNY, Page A9

As climate change impacts the environment, the coastal region of Oregon and California is likely to see more changes. Below, a marine heat wave followed by the loss of sea stars led to purple urchins reproducing in record numbers, putting further strain on the kelp forests from California to Washington.
Scientists looking for answers to climate impact along coast By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
As the ocean changes due to climate change, the pressure is on scientists and others to find a way to determine how the ocean will adapt and if people can help protect it. During a discussion with the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition last week, Mark Carr, a professor of marine ecology in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz, said the challenge is immense. "In my humble opinion, climate change is the greatest challenge in our current time," Carr said. "It manifests itself in many ways." Carr said as the ocean warms up, especially near the coast, there are clear changes in currents, sea levels, acidity as well as temperature and precipitation.
OSPIRG released a report Sept. 9 detailing medical debt in Oregon and how it can lead Oregonians to bankruptcy. The report, “Unhealthy Debt: Medical costs and bankruptcies in Oregon,” states at least 60 percent of Oregon’s consumer bankruptcies included medical debt in 2019. In a press conference Sept. 9, health care advocates discussed the medical debt situation and offered ways to address the problem. Maribeth Guarino, health care advocate with OSPIRG, said the nonprofit advocacy group looked at 8,000 bankruptcy filings in 2019. The report gives insight into the burden of medical debt. “This report shows that high health care costs are not a problem limited to a single geographic area or economic demographic,” Guarino said. “It's everywhere and we have to do something about it.” The report examined nearly $30 million in medical debt, Guarino added. “Our report shows that the average medical debt was $2,362,” Guarino said. “Over 600 people had $10,000 or more in medical debt.” Medical costs are increasing. In a poll released last May by OSPIRG, 30 percent of Oregon voters reported seeing an increase in their medical costs in the last 12 months. “We desperately need to enact policies to address More DEBT, Page A10

Curry County escapes Gold Beach names interim police chief worst of the pandemic By Julie Akins For The Pilot
By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot
While devastation from the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hit neighboring counties, Curry County may be missing out on the worst of the pandemic. In the last week, Coos County has reported 17 new COVID deaths while Del Norte County reported 21 over the last several weeks. In Curry County, the worst of the Delta variant may have
passed, but the impact is still being felt. In the last three reports from the Oregon Health Authority, Curry County reported 47 new cases with no new deaths. Coos County reported eight additional deaths in the last few days, bringing the number of people who have died after contracted COVID to 69. The county has seen a slight decrease in total cases over the last two weeks, but those suffering remains at the highest level since the pandemic began.
With an end to his job as Gold Beach’s top cop, Chief Tracy Wood’s interim successor was named by the Gold Beach City Council at Monday’s meeting. Sergeant Donald Miller will fill in as police chief until a permanent person can be named. Wood retired at the end of August after roughly 12 years on the force, the last three as chief. Throughout his tenure he stressed community involvement and creating strong relationships both in the community through partnerships and with outside policing agencies. When asked about his goals at the start of his
tenure as chief, Wood said he wanted to rebuild and maintain good relations with the other agencies in the area.” Police Chief Wood made sure the department joined the interagency task force on narcotics among others in the region. An Oregon Coast native, Wood said he loves to “hunt, fish and go camping,” something he’ll presumably have more time for now that he’s out of the hot seat. Wood’s departure is part of a rapid amount of turn over at the top for the small department with only seven full time employees. Interim Chief Miller also plans to retire and move with his family back to Texas as soon as
his successor can be identified and hired. “He’s promised to stay with us until we can find a replacement,” said Mayor Tamie Kaufman who appointed Interim Chief Miller. “We’re close on a potential hire. We just have to wait for some tests to come back,” according to Kaufman. The Gold Beach Police Department doesn’t operate 24 hours per day and receives coordinated assistance from the Curry County Sheriff’s Department. Both Wood and Miller transferred from the Curry County Sheriff’s Department and worked their way up through the ranks. More CHIEF, Page A3

Theresa Buckskin, (68) who will always and forever be in our thoughts and hearts, went to be with her creator on September 4, 2021, in her home in Brookings, Oregon. She was born August 12, 1953, to Emil and Evelyn Buckskin in Tollhouse, California. She was later adopted by the Kibby family of Smith River, California in 1957. One of her most cherished experiences in life was learning to box. She had started boxing at the age of 10 ( with her older brothers and sisters ) and continued on throughout her early adult life. Theresa had the honor of receiving the name “Princess Red Star“, by Sioux Chief White Buffalo Man. She was known as
trips, and especially the holidays. Her eyes lit up when she would go and support her Grandkids during their games of soccer, basketball, and track. She was the loudest one cheering them on. They were the highlight of her life. They could always count on her full support in any aspect of their life because she was their number one cheerleader. She was known as being a warm, strong-hearted, generous, friendly, easy to talk to, stubborn, feisty, diehard, loving Mother/ Grandmother with a distinguished sense of humor and laugh that will live on in our memories. Her love has shaped us in lasting ways and she will be forever missed as she goes on her journey. She is survived by sisters and brother Darlene Buckskin, Arlene Bunton and Ross Bunton, and several nieces and nephews, who knew her as “Aunt Wheezy “. She is preceded in death by her parents, brothers Mike Perez and Roger Buckskin and sister Emily Buckskin-Leach.

The style of policing has been consistent according to Mayor Kaufman who is seeking to continue the policies and plans laid out by prior administrations. “I have a lot of hope to continue to be a peace officer force, to try to prevent crime by having a nice presence in our community.” Hiring in small departments is a challenge. A recent survey of nearly 200 departments by the Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofit research firm, shows a 45% increase in the retirement rate of police officers and a nearly 20% increase in resignations in 2020-21 compared to the previous year. The change is affecting departments of all sizes. The research group's survey

Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. September 30. Further information can be obtained from the deputy county clerk at 541-247-3295. shows that in the largest departments with 500 or more officers, the retirement rate increased by nearly 30%. Overall, according to the survey, new police hiring has dropped 5%. PERF reports the conversation nationally about policing and accountability is driving some of the shortages. In Portland a new division to look at race related crimes had four applicants for a 14 person unit. Other openings in Portland have remained as they scramble to find qualified officers. Neither Wood nor Miller have made any claims about their departures outside of the personal in Gold Beach, but police shortages overall impact the city’s ability to fill open positions going forward, a fact Mayor Kaufman notes. “We think we’ll have someone soon but we don’t want to jinx it.”

Guest Opinion What the pandemic taught us about crisis preparedness By Martin Golden
SBA’s Portland District Director
The pandemic has shown Oregonians the critical importance that small business plays in both our local and national economies. It was critical for entrepreneurs to immediately change their business models and pivot to a new way of selling their products and services overnight. The U.S. Small Business Administration is highlighting the resilience of America’s entrepreneurs and the renewal of the small business economy as they build back better from the economic crisis brought on by the pandemic. Though beating the pandemic is still front and center in moving our economy forward, our nation is still vulnerable to a variety of natural disasters including wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards and drought. History has shown that up to 25 percent of businesses that close because of disaster never reopen. All Oregon businesses should develop a workable crisis preparedness plan that takes into consideration what we learned over the last 18 months from the pandemic. The following are six simple business strategies a business can use for future crises. 1. Evaluate your exposure. Know your community and the types of disasters most likely to impact your business. Consider your facility’s proximity to flood plains, wildfire areas, rivers and streams, and other hazards. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic should be the first exposure issue on the list. 2. Review your insurance coverage. Consult your insurance agent to determine whether your coverage is sufficient and what it covers. You may need separate flood insurance and determine what is or is not covered during a pandemic. Check into business interruption insurance, which helps you cover operating expenses if you’re forced to temporarily close. 3. Review and prepare your supply chain. Establish business relationships with alternate vendors in case your primary supplier isn’t available. Place occasional orders with them so they’ll regard you as an active customer. Create a contact list for important business contractors and vendors you plan to use in an emergency. Keep this list at an offsite location. At the start of the
Martin Golden pandemic many food suppliers temporarily ceased operations and were not able fulfill their customer’s orders. 4. Create a crisis communications plan. At the beginning of the pandemic many business owners did not have current contact information for their employees and vendors. Establish an email/Twitter/Facebook alert system, keeping primary and secondary email addresses for your employees, vendors, and customers. Provide real-time updates to your customers/clients and the community so they know you’re still in business and in the process of rebuilding following a crisis. 5. Establish a written chain of command. Let your employees know the emergency chain of command should your business close. Maintain a clear leave and sick-day policy during disasters. Have a backup payroll service should your office be destroyed. 6. Create/implement a Business Continuity Plan. This plan should state when it will be activated; identify essential business functions, and staff to carry out these functions; determine which employees will be considered non-essential vs. essential; and identify records and documents that must be secured and readily accessible to perform key functions. All of this may need to be done remotely from home. Developing an effective and workable crisis recovery plan is critical for all small business owners. For more information on crisis planning, and SBA’s ongoing COVID-19 relief programs, please visit www.sba.gov/disaster. Martin Golden is the SBA’s Portland District Director and Acting Pacific Northwest Regional Administrator based in Portland. He oversees all of the agency’s programs and services across the Oregon and Southwest Washington.

The value of community radio
I grew up in radio and got to work at a number of radio stations in the west. When I started in radio, you could bring your own records into the station and play them on the air. In San Luis Obispo, California, I met the live news feed from CBS on the hour with Eric Sevareid and Walter Cronkite. I did the night shift at a country music station in Bakersfield when Buck Owens walked in unannounced, introduced himself and handed me a 45 RPM to put on while he went out to his car to listen to it on the radio. Buck owned the station and his new television show Hee Haw was a big hit. He and his band, the Buckaroos had just made the record and he wanted
to hear it broadcast before telling the studio to release it. I was on the radio when we first touched down on the moon July 16th, 1969. I got to read the teletype over the airways as we landed. I went home and watched it on my little 12” black and white TV. But most poignant of all, in my travels I have gotten to hear and participate in some of the finest radio ever aired, community radio, the voice of the people, not beholden to commercial interests. The last honest place where the airwaves are still free. Right now, your local community radio station is threatened and Curry Coast Community Radio could go off the air unless they find a new tower to broadcast from. KCIW provides a community platform for the free exchange of
artistic expression, information, and differing points of view. A one-year memorandum of understanding between KCIW and the city of Brookings allowed the station to rent space on the city tower at $100 per month, previously for free, but the Brookings City Council decided to not renew the agreement, it’s thought because the council feared they would appear biased by supporting a left leaning station. Don’t let politics take your community radio station. Without the city tower, they need to raise $30,000-35,000 to erect a new tower and attach their broadcast antenna to it. They are short of their goal. Let the council know that this matters to you. Howard Glasser Brookings
Guest Opinion
Welcome to Yosemite, the new Pyrocene Park By Steve Pyne
The Pleistocene epoch that began 2.6 million years ago sent ice in waves through Yosemite. Glaciers gouged out great valleys along the Merced and Tuolumne rivers, ice sheets rounded granite domes, cirques sculpted the High Sierra. John Muir traced virtually every landscape feature of Yosemite to its legacy of ice. Now the residual ice is melting, the streams and waterfalls are drying and the living landscape is burning. In 1990, the A-Rock fire closed the park for the only time in its history, so far. The 2013 Rim fire burned around the Hetch Hetchy reservoir; the 2018 Ferguson fire burned along the park’s Wawona Road. Where the fires didn’t spread, their smoke did. Add in the industrial combustion of fossil fuels, with its climatic impacts, and virtually every management issue of Yosemite today traces back to fire. Humans have always used fire: It’s our ecological signature. The end of the last glaciation allowed us, a fire-wielding species, to interact with an increasingly fire-receptive planet. Our pact with fire was mutual. Fire allowed us to flourish; in return, we have taken fire everywhere, even to Antarctica. The pact had to operate within boundaries set by living landscapes. After all, fire was a creation of life, which furnished its oxygen and fuel and established ecological barriers. Then we discovered an immense reservoir of combustibles buried in
geologic time. It was as though we had found a new world – a fossilized, “lithic” landscape -we could work the way we did living landscapes. The only constraints were those people chose to impose on themselves. Add up all the burning that people now do in living, and it would seem we are refashioning the Earth with the fire-informed equivalent of an Ice Age, complete with a change in climate, rising sea levels, a mass extinction, major shifts in biogeography and smoke palls. Little on Earth is unaffected. Fire is driving off the last vestiges of the Pleistocene, from its ice to its mammoths. We have been creating a Pyrocene for millennia, but binge-burning fossil fuels put the process on afterburners. Fifty years ago Yosemite recognized that its fire scene was out of whack. The problem then was not too much of the wrong kind of fire but too little of the right kind. The park sought to restore pre-settlement fire regimes. Among targeted sites was Illilouette Creek, an elevated basin southeast of Glacier Point. The park recognized that suppressing fire had stockpiled fuels from the foothills to the crestline, caused Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove to overflow with invasive conifers that blocked views, and prevented the fabled sequoias from regenerating. The park introduced prescribed fire and learned to loose-herd wildfires. The Illilouette basin shuffled toward something like its former fire regime.

No place has the fire program it wants, but Yosemite seems better positioned than the national forests and private lands around it to cope. The issue is no longer to restore natural fire but to find the right mix of fires suppressed and prescribed, and of wildfires managed, to ward off the megafires that are plaguing everyplace else. Yosemite deals with fires that can threaten small and not-sosmall villages. Its specialty is working with wildland fire. By Aug. 20 of this year the park had coped with 54 fires, 43 from lightning and 11 from people. Some were put out. Some were confined within natural barriers. And a few burning in Illilouette Basin were tweaked as nature’s invisible hand massaged them into five decades of layered burning. The legacy of past fires had altered the conditions for the fires that followed, softening the shock of tougher, meaner burns. Yosemite has long been celebrated for distilling into near-crystalline state the magnificence of the Western landscape. As it moves from ice to fire, it is showing that it may also serve as a proxy for some of what the Earth needs to do to survive our deepening fire age. There is no way we can’t not manage fire.

To prepare for a changing coastal ocean, scientists like Carr must be prepared. "How can we best prepare coastal marine life and human communities for the impact," he said. When looking at a species in the coastal ocean, Carr said there are three questions that must be answered. First, the likelihood of exposure. Second, sensitivity to change and finally, adaptive capacity. "Those three factors ultimately determine the vulnerability of a particular species," Carr said. To prepare for the changes, Carr and a team created a climate vulnerability assessment. The assessment is not easy, but is could be effective. "Climate change impacts are really complicated,"

Carr said. "They have lots of feedback to the system that most of the vulnerability assessments don't capture." The goals of the assessment plan created by Carr and his team are to identify vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities, empower communities for mitigation and adaption to climate impact and avoid unintended consequences. After creating a framework for the assessment, Carr and his team at Cal Santa Cruz tested it by looking back a few years. They looked back at the devastation of the red sea urchin fishery. That event was brought on by two events, a marine heat wave from 2014 to 2016 from California to Washington at the same time that sea star wasting disease began eliminating most of the sea stars from the ocean. The heat wave played a role by killing large identifying buildable parcels, several new housing projects are underway. Eight units are being built in the port area which will rent for roughly $1,100 per month. Additionally, 27 homes between 500 and 800 square feet on Kerber Drive in Gold Beach are being built. They’re selling for roughly $300,000 per unit. While every new home built eases the market con-
a caller reported a traffic crash with injury. ● At 11:11 the police responded to the intersection of Chetco Avenue and Fern Avenue after a caller reported a traffic crash with no injury. ● At 1:52 p.m. the police conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of Easy street and 5th street. ● At 7:00 p.m. the fire department responded to the 16200 block of Highway 101 South after a caller reported a fire in a parking lot. ● At 8:17 p.m. the police responded to the 900 block of 6th street after a caller reported an assault. Friday 9/10: ● At 8:51 a.m. the police conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of Chetco Avenue and Harris Beach. ● At 9:05 a.m. the police responded to the 97700 block of North Bank Chetco River Road after a caller reported an aban-
portions of the kelp forest, which is the primary food source for urchins. Sea stars, the main predator of urchins, were eliminated at the same time. The result is red urchins were forced to move to deeper water and purple urchins, which reproduce faster, began to take over. When looking at the assessment, Carr said they look at four areas - the resource of interest, in this case the red sea urchins, the ecological community, human users and the overall human community. "It's important to recognize each one of these domains impacts the other domains, either directly or indirectly," Carr said. "Each of these feedbacks interact with the resource domain. Climate impacts are likely to impact all the domains." With the red sea urchins, the loss of kelp and a pred-
ator to control the purple urchins impacted the red sea urchins. As a result, the purple urchins reproduced rapidly, leading to greater loss of the kelp forest as the urchins ate. The human users, or the people who fished for and processed the urchins lost work, and the greater community suffered when there were no urchins to eat. The impact was felt greatest from Port Orford into Northern California, where the water temperature climbed 2 degrees. "That marine heat wave is thought to be one of the largest marine heat waves in the world," Carr said. "In the absence of food and the absence of predators, the purple sea urchin just went crazy. They came out and fed on all the algae." Interestingly, the warmer water itself did little to hurt the red sea urchin, but the impacts down the line did. "The sensitivity of the ditions to some degree, it’s red urchin to the heat still incredibly tight. The vacancy rate in Gold was minimal," Carr said. "Rather, indirect ecologiBeach hovers in the 0-1% cal interaction in the kelp range. That scarcity controls demand and pricing. According to the Curry County Housing Assessment, 60 new units need to be built in the next three years. “Gold Beach is doing that all by itself. I think we’ll be OK, but we still have to do what we can to keep prices affordable.”
And it could be longer than expected. "To this day, we're only now starting to see more of the kelp recover," Carr said. "The prognosis of Northern California is pretty bleak. You need to change the urchin population in order for the kelp to recover." There is good news and bad news when looking at the 2014-16 heat wave. "How often are we going to see the event," Carr asked. "That will be a big key as to recovery. If we start seeing more heat waves that could shift the system." Phillip Johnson, the executive director of Oregon Shores, said Carr's presentation is one of a series of events Oregon Shores is doing in 2021 as part of a celebration of its 50th anniversary. "We potentially address any conservation issue along the Oregon coast," Johnson said. "Anything that does threaten the Oregon coast, we do care about deeply."

field impacted the urchin." Carr said the impact is being felt five year later because the kelp forests have not fully recovered. "As soon as the kelp recovers from the heat wave, the red urchin will be back," Carr said. "The marine heat wave only impacted the Northern California fishery. The Southern California fishery was not impacted." Carr said the people who fish for urchins had minimal impact as well because they were able to find other work. However, the processors did struggle. Carr said going back and looking at a past event will help scientists prepare for a future one. "If we have another heat wave, you could ask what's going that going to do to the Port Orford fishery," Carr said. "You could adjust this to get some answers. It requires local experience. It requires the knowledge of people in that system." Another question that can be answered is how long the impact will last.

Oregon Unemployment rate falls below 5% It is first time Oregon’s unemployment rate dropped below 5% since March 2020, when the rate was 3.6%. Oregon’s unemployment rate was below 5% in only two other periods since 1976 when comparable records began. During 14 consecutive months in the mid-1990s when the rate dropped to as low as 4.5%; and during the 51 consecutive months during 2016 through March 2020 when the rate
dropped to a record low of 3.3% in late 2019. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.2% in August from 5.4% in July. In Oregon, nonfarm payroll employment grew by 7,900 in August, following monthly gains averaging 10,300 in the prior seven months. Gains in August were largest in government (+3,500 jobs); wholesale trade (+1,400); leisure and hospitality
(+1,200); and professional and business services (+1,000). Only one major industry cut jobs: retail trade (-1,900 jobs). Since the low point of April 2020, at the economic depths of the COVID-induced recession, Oregon has recovered 204,700 jobs, or 72% of the jobs lost during the recession. Leisure and hospitality added 1,200 jobs in August, following a gain of 6,100, as revised, in
July. Despite these gains, it still accounts for the bulk of Oregon’s jobs not recovered since early 2020, with 44,300 jobs left to recover to reach the prior peak month of February 2020. The industry has regained 60% of jobs lost early in the pandemic. Employment in health care and social assistance has been relatively flat all year. This major industry recovered substantial jobs in mid- through
late-2020, but is still down 10,400 jobs, or 4%, since its pre-recession peak of February 2020. Over the past year, nursing and residential care facilities has been especially weak, having lost 1,300 jobs since August 2020. Meanwhile, two component industries have expanded in the past 12 months: ambulatory health care services (+3,100 jobs) and social assistance (+1,100 jobs).

Playing Russian roulette with COVID-19 By Dr. Charles Hurbis For the Pilot
Regardless of your profession, carpenter, plumber, nurse, lawyer, etc., You have at your disposal a unique toolbox which allows you to apply your skills to solve specific problems. Over time, everyone’s toolbox becomes more complex and therefore useful through technical advancements. Additionally, one’s ability to use their tools improves with experience. Take the roofer; How much more efficient have they become since the invention of the nail gun? Yet the nail gun without a pneumatic source is pretty useless. The same philosophy can be applied to car safety. Back in the 60s, a lap belt was all the protection we had. Over time, we developed the shoulder harness, side impact protection, extensive crumple zones and airbags front and side. They’ve also added electronic enhancements for improved braking, car stability and now sensors for crash-avoidance. With all of these advancements, crashes are still not totally avoidable, yet they are far less likely and MUCH more survivable. A patient goes in to see his/her doctor with the hope that their problem can be solved. The doctor approaches the issue calling on their own personal experience. They then apply the tools available to them to formulate a solution. The country’s foremost expert on diabetes may still be able to help you
control your blood sugars, but can do much more with access to insulin. This is exactly where we are in this pandemic. We have a tremendous toolbox developed through almost two years of experience with the virus, yet people individually and collectively cannot agree on applying what we have available. Therefore, COVID is not only festering, but thriving and evolving. Here is how we are mismanaging the pandemic. Imagine a house with an extremely leaky roof and the rainy season is fast approaching. The roofer has the tools and skills he needs to get a new roof on in just enough time to prevent severe damage to the home. He completes half his project, but then is so satisfied with his progress he decides to save on power and tosses the nail gun, leaving him with just a hammer to complete the second half. Well, you know how this ends. We have the experience and the tools available to curtail the advancement of this pandemic. Yet, it seems the slightest bit of progress allows us to ignore the monsoon approaching, forget what we’re dealing with and turn a blind eye to where we’ve been. There are so many examples. Take Australia, once a shining example of the success of shutdowns, social distancing and masking. They put a kibosh on COVID early in the pandemic. This success though was met with complacency regarding the vaccine, with only 8% of
CURRY COASTAL PILOT
the population bothering to get vaccinated. Then along comes Delta being far more contagious. They are now losing to COVID for the first time, and badly. In many parts of the U.S., it’s a combination of factors leading to the resurgence: 1) We have many geographic areas where vaccinations hugely lag, being far under the 50% level, and 2) Early on, many areas decided to pull mask mandates and social separation guidelines. Even now, there are governors who still refuse to enforce masking, and some won’t even require masking in schools. This is just sheer lunacy. Oregon, once a shining example of control, dropped social separation and masking mandates early. Now, we have become a COVID front-runner. It seems every time we make a little progress, we forget we’re still in the middle of a pandemic. Pandemics occur because of very bad pathogens. Funny how quickly they are forgotten. One of the issues with controlling COVID is that most people have a mild form of this disease. This brings the mindset of, “well, if I get infected, I’ll probably be fine.” This is likely true, but not for the 10% who will suffer the severe repercussions of long COVID and the 2% who will ultimately die. It’s a game of Russian Roulette. In life, no one would voluntarily sit in a circle and play Russian Roulette, yet that’s exactly what they are doing. In this game, the revolver has 50 chambers, only one with a bullet. The odds don’t seem that bad. The problem with this new game is that they are also pointing the pistol at others, including children. Let’s say we allow COVID to continue to evolve badly, and eventually there are now 20 bullets in this revolver (with Ebola it
would be 50). Now the healthcare industry has no possible way of caring for those needing assistance. People would be dying in the streets. I think then you’d see a lot of vaccinating and masks being worn then. Why must it reach that point? Another reason we are losing is we have the wrong focus. Here’s a headline from last week, “Biden’s new vaccine push is a fight for the U.S. economy.” How about, “is a fight to save lives”? Since when has the dollar out-valued human life? Apparently, we’ll do anything we need to save the economy. This misdirected mentality put us right into the cross-hairs of Delta and whatever might be next. Is a dollar really more important than Mom or Aunt Sally? Yet, somehow, they are expendable as long as I can get a good paying job, buy the next iPhone 26 and have dinner at Chuck E. Cheese without masking. Beware trendy or unproven treatments. Even though many of these may prove to have value, improper use can be life threatening. One example is the ever popular ivermectin. This is a drug used primarily treat parasitic infections in large animals. It has utility in humans in certain situations. But all it takes is one Facebook post touting the wonders of this drug and people are headed to the local Grange, buying products intended for an 800-pound bull and then ending up in the ER with encephalopathic seizures. Once new treatments are approved, go to your doctor for advice and a proper prescription. Don’t self-treat based on social media. So, what does work? Well, clearly social separation is a no-brainer. If you don’t contact the virus, you can’t get it. What about masking?
One of the arguments often heard is that masks don’t work. I have trouble fathoming this thought. I guess I’ve worn a mask for 36 years as a doctor for nothing. In all fairness, there really haven’t been studies out there showing effectiveness against COVID, until now. A recent study of close to a half million spread across 600 villages in Bangladesh now provides conclusive, real world evidence that mask wearing has a significant impact on curtailing the spread of the COVID virus. Certainly, not all masks are created equally, and all need to be worn properly (the under your nose technique is useless). In reality, N-95’s are the gold standard but most are uncomfortable. Still, close to N-95 levels of protection can be had by doubling more comfortable options. To achieve this, the mask requires a nasal contouring insert mold across your nose and needs to fit snuggly around the face. If we’d all been wearing these from the beginning, the pandemic would already be over. Vaccines are a bit more complex due to the variety available, schedules recommended, everyone’s individual response to immunization and new viral mutations of which Delta is currently the most troublesome. That being said, any vaccination protocol will provide a level of protection making the virus less transmissible and less dangerous, including the Delta variant. Here are a few interesting facts: If unvaccinated you are 5x more likely to get COVID, have a 29x higher chance of severe disease or hospitalization, and finally you will have an 11x greater chance of dying. The simple math here indicates that without a vaccine your chance of dying of COVID is 55x (or 5500%) higher. Re-play that statistic in
your head. Because we’ve let COVID evolve, boosters are already being recommended for everyone at 6-8 months. Now there is a new MU variant, already present in 49 states which is potentially resistant to all vaccines. This variant currently makes up less than 1% of all cases, but then, Delta also started that way. How this one evolves is clearly our choice. Back to the car safety analogy. There are multiple layers of safety built into modern vehicles. How many would consider ever driving a car without their seatbelt? That would seem to almost everyone foolhardy. How many have been “lucky” simply because anti-lock brakes were developed? Seat-belts decrease the risk of serious injury and death by 50%, the airbag by 32%. Those that go unvaccinated are turning off the airbag, those going maskless are undoing their seatbelt (interestingly though, back when seatbelt laws were first enacted, people were cutting them out of their new cars, so idiocy is nothing new). When you can walk away from so many car accidents are those safeguards really that inconvenient? I wouldn’t think so. There are tragic stories now cropping up everywhere, where nonCOVID illness cannot be treated due to a lack of hospital resources. One man recently died of a treatable cardiac event after being turned down by 43 (yes 43) hospital ERs, traveling 200 miles and traversing three states by ambulance before his ultimate death. I’m afraid we will be reading many more stories similar to this. I’m wondering what may actually be needed here for people to finally start acting responsibly. Unfortunately, I think I know the answer, but I hope I’m wrong.
