Yep. Sadly he is right.

Its the same with any of these states who are opening back up too soon. We had this discussion the other day about TX.

Our Lt Gov wants people to die. He has said it.

Opening these stores and places up mean low wage workers. Which means minorities and they don't care about the black and brown folk.

What are they going to do, mail in their ballots to vote him out before they die? Good luck with that when there's no postal service.

Quote from the mayor of Las Vegas Carolyn Goodman (Independent, but Democrat through 2009):

"I am not a private owner. That's the competition in this country. The free enterprise and to be able to make sure that what you offer the public meets the needs of the public," Goodman, an independent, told CNN's Anderson Cooper.

"Right now, we're in a crisis health-wise, and so for a restaurant to be open or a small boutique to be open, they better figure it out. That's their job. That's not the mayor's job."

Doesn't have this line, but more from that mayor.

Her husband, Oscar Goodman, was mayor there too. He played DeNiro's lawyer in Casino and he's from Philadelphia.

Our local county judge (not a legal judge but some weird Texas shtein where the "mayor" of the county is called judge) is named Lina Hidalgo. We voted her in during the last blue wave. She replaced a good ol boy.

So every time she makes a declaration people who were in love with the prior Judge rip her. And the GOP lovers blast her bc she's like AOC; young and Latina and not experienced in politics. She does and has done a good job. She's science based. Unlike the pray the gay away GOP people.

Anyways - this morning she announced, like MANY other locations nationwide, a mandatory people over 10 must wear a face mask order.

The corrupt smarmy local police officer union head and the Lt Gov who wants people to die just came out and said;

"We are not asking people to wear a medical mask or an N-95 mask," Hidalgo said. "You can use an old t-shirt perhaps ... the idea is just to cover your nose and mouth."

Violations will be punishable by a fine of up to $1,000.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called Hidalgo's order "the ultimate government overreach."

"These kind of confused government policies fuel public anger — and rightfully so," Patrick tweeted.

The Houston Police Officers' Union called the rules "draconian," adding that they are seeking an opinion from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on whether the measure is legally sound.

"Everyone should be wearing a mask in public, I wear 1 everyday," HPOU president Joe Gamaldi said in a tweet. "But making not wearing 1 punishable by law, and asking our officers to enforce it, will do irreparable damage to our relationship with the community. We are already stretched too thin without having to enforce this."

U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Houston, warned that Hidalgo's order could "lead to unjust tyranny."

"Should guidelines for masks in confined spaces be emphatically promoted? Absolutely," Crenshaw tweeted. "But we will NEVER support 180 days in jail or $1,000 fine for not wearing a mask."

I don't think China or any other country will ever invade us because they'll be scared of the absolute insanity of Americans who are just like "welp better let the market decide if I die from a deadly disease". You just don't farg with that kind of crazy.

This is so so bad.

It's just the flu bro. Don't tread on muh freeduhmz

[ice grillin you]

i feel like i posted this here but i cant remember....anyway i was reading an article the other day about a bunch of studies done on survivors in China

its a small sample size so far and more studies need to be done but the results of the early ones are pretty horrific...basically they say that while all the attention is being put on the number of deaths the studies are showing survivors with permanent lung damage where they need will need to live on ventilators the rest of their lives or if not on ventilators theirs lives are irreparably harmed...they were talking about people who used to run three miles a day and now cant walk from their living room to kitchen without losing breath and while they dont know a whole lot about this disease they know what permanent lung damage is

basically the moral of the story is dont take this thing lightly because the mortality rate is 4% and you think the chances of dying from it are tiny

This dude Larry Hogan getting shtein done:  just landed another Korean Airlines plane at BWI, reportedly bearing 5.9 million surgical masks (1 million Kn-95 masks), surgical gowns, facemasks, and 1000 ICU beds. 

In related news, Our Dear Leader demands explanation why it wasn't shot down.
