They sure as hell should have been, but they work for the gov't so they get a pass.

Gotta keep the serfs in line though.

That's incredible. Jesus.

People should flood the local and state police there with calls to demand that they go arrest and fine every single one of those ass holes. I'm sick and tired of the double standards and two sets of rules.

16.7M. In three weeks. Or about 11% of the entire US workforce.

During the Great Recession, and the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, we only shed 10M jobs.

Number one. Why is there a deputy waiting to serve a summons on a vet tech?? As far as the masked lady looking for people to yell at really requires little if any explanation.

Think it was regarding a dog bite, but not exactly sure. Didn't seem like it was anything bad for the tech.

Because people are not doing their part - they are not being socially responsible. Decree or no decree, people still need to do their part to prevent the spread.

I've been to the grocery, on walks, bike rides, Etc. I see people congregating like nothing is different. At the grocery for example two days ago, I saw a bunch of late teens standing around talking to each other within a foot of each other. These four people are probably going out and doing the same thing with other people throughout the day, and days. Not to mention the grocery cashiers who are not wearing masks or gloves.

I'm not panicked, I'm acting smart and responsibly. I wash my hands often. I try not to touch my face. I wear gloves and now face protection when at the grocery or other places where I may be in closer proximity to others. I limit my trips to these places as much as possible.

It's not that hard, but some people don't seem to be paying attention. This is in part why there are an increasing number of cases still.

I subscribe to a neutral news brief source called knowhere that a medical doctor friend of mine recommended (her specialty is public health and has set-up hospitals in Africa, the Carribean, etc). Based on the Worldometer data source (i.e. the one linked in this thread a bazillion times), they publish a "data in focus" in their daily brief and the unique stat that has caught my eye is "time for number of US infections to double" since it keeps increasing (i.e. a good thing). I haven't seen that stat posted so here are the last 4 Thursdays for comparison:

If Pope Francis had any credibility left, it is gone now.

https://www.breitbart.com/heal...over-climate-change/

Pope Francis said he believes the Chinese coronavirus pandemic is “certainly nature’s response” to humanity’s failure to address the “partial catastrophes” wrought by human-induced climate change.

Asked by British journalist Austen Ivereigh whether the COVID-19 crisis is an opportunity for an “ecological conversion,” the pontiff reasserted his belief that humanity has provoked nature by not responding adequately to the climate crisis.

“There is an expression in Spanish: ‘God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives,’” Francis said in the interview published Wednesday. “We did not respond to the partial catastrophes. Who now speaks of the fires in Australia, or remembers that a year and a half ago a boat could cross the North Pole because the glaciers had all melted? Who speaks now of the floods?”

“I don’t know if it is nature’s revenge, but it is certainly nature’s response,” he added.

Asked whether the COVID-19 pandemic is nature’s way of taking “revenge” on humanity, the pontiff suggested that nature is calling for attention.

“Fires, earthquakes … nature is throwing a tantrum so that we will take care of her,” he said.

The pope is on dope.

So... this Pope is now claiming that COVID-19 is "nature’s response” to our inadequate response to climate change?
Really?!?!
What a clown! What a socialist tool!
NOT MY POPE!

He is a socialist clown! Unbelievable!

I wear rubber gloves to the grocery store for this reason. I know I won't rub my eye with my hand in latex gloves.

Rubbing your hands with cayenne pepper will do the same thing. It also worked to get my dog to stop licking her paws.

And cashiers wearing gloves prevents the spread, how? I watched the gloved cashier at my grocery store wipe her nose with her gloved hand while handling my groceries. Everything she touched was on those gloves and then it went to her nose. Everything she had in her nose was transferred to everything else she touched.

It really is up to individuals to protect themselves.

Virginia has some sites set up for antibody testing. My wife called and said she has asthma and type 2 diabetes. They said she should be tested.

She went this morning. They tested in a parking lot. Analysis took 5 minutes.

She has no COVID-19 antibodies in her blood.

When can we get back to simply "social distancing" rather than the more medieval "sheltering in place"?
I'm getting tired of feeling quarantined.

Our Governor King of Maryland is using recent positive tests from samples taken weeks ago and including them in the "NEW CASES" statistic that he loves blasting everywhere.

Just one of the ways they are being very deceptive.

The CDC Confesses to Lying About COVID-19 Death Numbers

quote:

Can any government statistics on COVID-19 deaths be trusted?

It is an open question now that we are learning that the highly respected, world-class Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been lying to us.

Swell. I hope President Trump defunds the CDC, let the chicoms fund it.

These leftist governors are manifesting the largest political power grab of our lifetime. Every day it seems tyrants like Jersey governor Murphy are issuing orders shattering liberties at a whim. Just now Pennsylvania governor douchebag Wolf just closed all Pennsylvania schools for the rest of the year.

These autocrats need to be reigned in by their state legislators. This is appalling what's happening across this nation.

Colorado is right there too.

I hope the citizens remember and vote these fuckers out of office at the next elections, or run recalls now.

Yes, and they were "honest" about at the start:

Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths

I keep waiting for the public hangings to begin.
