By now most here are aware of this story, but this article is really a sobering wake up call as to how quickly things are going to spiral out of control if Democrats are allowed to continue their authoritarian rule across the country over citizens while violating constitutional rights!
This is a must read as the author Layâs out a plausible scenario how we could be at odds with each other regarding the fight over commerce.
Not sure if this is âpoliticalâ, or just a senseless murder, but Ill post it here as well
Lockdowns for the nativesâŚfree shit for invaders.
All true. Unfortunately heâs protected by sovereign immunity for his acts in office.
Fake news faking it again.
This was already covered in the non political thread
I believe she raised over $200,000 on her GoFundMe account. Good for her! She did what every American should be doing! And itâs too bad that, we have a government that is solely bent on âAuthoritarianismâ; when people just want to return to work. I helped her by contributing a few dollars.
You are a good man Ichigo! I am honoured to be graced by your presence on this forum!
They added 1,700 new nursing home deaths to the total today.
This is sickening.
Independence Day events are being cancelled across the country
Sounds about right. Whatâs to celebrate anyway?
Good news is COVID-19 has brought illegal immigration down almost to 2017 levelsâŚbut, holy shit, look at 2019 - 550k more illegals than 2017. Disgusting.
And the dipshit left is planning on putting the Country on welfare . Half of those reported deaths were from other causes . In Alabama, officials have ruled that one of every 10 people who died with covid-19 did not die of covid-19. In NY the city decided to add people who never tested positive but are presumed to have died from the virus, helping to raise the death toll by 3,700 in one day, according to The New York Times. Gov. HOMO of NY ORDERED nursing homes to accept infected Corona patients and 4300 elderly DIED because of this moron . 1 .5 million Heart attacks occur in the United States each year with 600,000 deaths .AND THE FUCKING ECONOMY WAS OPEN !!!
Time for you to hide in that cave . 
There is a struggle in this country between those that want government to replace the comfort of family and those who understand life and what you do with it is in your court.
After publishing detailed CDC guidelines for states that were purportedly shelved in favor of the much-more-vague White House guidelines - the White House defended the decision, saying it was part of delegating more authority and flexibility to the states - the AP reported Friday that most states arenât following the federal guidelines anyway.
The detailed, 17-page CDC report was purportedly shelved, with the government scientists who leaked it complaining that they were told it would ânever see the light of dayâ, to reinforce the notion that the responsibility for reopening the economy lies squarely with the states (just like the media wanted, remember?) And although states and public health experts have reportedly blamed the administration for federal guidance that has been âanything put clear,â some of the states have said theyâre doing just fine without the federal governmentâs input.
Thanks to the vagaries of the Trump Administrationâs âguidanceâ, the AP found that Georgia is technically in compliance with at least some of the requirements - including the requirement that states report a downward trajectory over 2 weeks (though the guidelines donât specify if this means 14 days of uninterrupted day-over-day declines, or whether states should rely on rolling averages. Still, itâs doubtful all the data would justify Georgiaâs accelerated schedule of reopening, said to be the fastest in the country.
But even so, for all their flexibility, the AP found there are 17 states which clearly do not meet the standards, including the downward trajectory, to reopen, as the number of cases and deaths reported daily continues to climb.
he AP determined that 17 states did not meet a key benchmark set by the White House for loosening up - a 14-day downward trajectory in new cases or positive test rates. *And yet many of those have begun to reopen or are about to do so, including Alabama, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah.
Because of the broad way in which the nonbinding guidelines are written, other states, including Georgia, have technically managed to meet the criteria and reopen despite not seeing a steady decline in cases and deaths.
sked Thursday about states reopening without meeting the benchmarks, President Donald Trump said: *âThe governors have great power as to that, given by us. We want them to do that. We rely on them. We trust them. And hopefully they are making the right decisions.â
Other states which have decidedly not met the standard of 2 weeks of declines, but have met other requirements laid out in the federal guidelines, include Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, Virginia and Wisconsin. Oregon is one such state, and despite being deep-blue, its governor has decided to press ahead with a reopening plan that will see more retail stores and daycares reopen on May 15.
Even California, which has met some of the guidelines but not others, is beginning to reopen already, even as its governor once claimed the state would stay shuttered until every unnecessary death could be prevented, a statement that energized the reopening push within his state by small business owners and others.
Still, some governors have simply opted to prepare their own guidelines and opted to disregarded the federal rules.
As the governor of Nebraska - one of the 17 states that the AP says doesnât meet the criteria - put it, just because the virus is killing people, doesnât mean we need to shut down the entire economy to try and stop even one unnecessary death from occurring. That would be like banning cars and airplanes because they occasionally crash.
In Nebraska new cases and positivity rates increased in recent weeks, but Gov. Pete Ricketts, a Republican, eased rules to allow salons, tattoo parlors and restaurants to reopen with restrictions in most counties. Churches also were allowed to resume in-person services, weddings and funerals last Monday, with some restrictions.
Ricketts said Wednesday that the number of new cases is naturally going to increase as testing ramps up, and suggested a statewide lockdown was too drastic.
"We could ban just about all deaths on the interstate by reducing the speed to 5 mph, but we donât do that," he said.
For its part, Utah has created its own color-coded reopening plan from scratch.
Utah is following its own color-coded reopening system.
"We had that plan long before there was a federal plan,â said retired Utah National Guard Maj. Gen. Jeff Burton, who heads the stateâs response. "Itâs a solid plan that lays out the road to recovery."
"Of the 33 states that have had a 14-day downward trajectory of either cases or positive test rates, 25 are partially opened or moving to reopen within days, the AP analysis finds.
Is it wrong to oppose lockdowns, or suggest that there might be a better, more sustainable strategy that doesnât have so many negative ancillary repercussions? Absolutely not. Many scientists around the world have continued to debate the best way forward, and with so much about this virus remaining uncertain, a measured debate should be encouraged, not stifled.
Ignoring the CDC guidelines? Great we know they are crap.
Ignoring President Trumps guidelines? Good we know they were crafted to hold off another impeachment effort.
Individual states going their own way? From great to worse than CDC level crap, depending on the state.
Individuals making their own decisions and refusing any restrictions that donât make sense or have no legal basis? Fantastic.
If the same happens in Chicago for 7 minutes, you might be onto something? lol
Thatâs why we had a shit storm over the surge in 2019,
The crackdown worked.,
