Just what are these people thinking? (And I use that word advisedly.)

WHO stands by recommendation to not wear masks if you are not sick


"There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," Dr. Mike Ryan, WHO executive director of health emergencies program, said during a media briefing in Geneva on Monday.


=====

"In the community, we do not recommend the use of wearing masks unless you yourself are sick and as a measure to prevent onward spread from you if you are ill," Van Kerkhove said. "The masks that we recommend are for people who are at home and who are sick and for those individuals who are caring for those people who are home that are sick."

Thanks, Kid.

Trump Increases Hostility Toward Reporters Questioning His Handling Of Coronavirus Crisis

LEADER!

His responses to Alcindor and Diamond are strongly symptomatic of dementia.   It looks like a team of doctors and handlers are keeping him borderline lucid just enough to maintain an appearance of him running the government  to about half the population.   While acting temps do the actual functions of government.

The president is solely responsible for the antagonistic relationship he has with the media.



Very select few

[REDSTATEWARD]

Oh. Well you said that Commerce Clause gives states that authority. You need to write better.

The Federal Government is restricted from national quarantines. The states not so much thanks to the 10th amendment and the Commerce Clause.

I stand by what I wrote.

But you do not understand.

And like your fearful leader, you cannot admit when you make a mistake.

Nothing new.

Hmmm.
You asked me my opinion on the Constitution and quarantines.
I did.
Now you use another posters response to say I made a mistake?

A mistake about what?

[kiidcarter8]

So, is it CHINA that is marking ventilators way up - to the reported $50,000 price tag?  If not, who?

[facilitatorn]

Great to see the good results from anti-virals - even as the trials await official result

Waiting fort he trial to conclude would have been ill advised.

Shame we don’t have an administration capable or competent to deliver medications found successful into the healthcare system.

America can make itself safer from future pandemics by dismantling and disowning the republican party. Tens of thousands more join this movement every time trump opens his mouth.

Thoughts?

Sucker

Credit this president for continuing to call on Ms Alcindor and Mr Acosta at these briefings.

Today wasn't pretty - and you can argue whether or not it was necessary - they got slapped pretty good.   We can only hope the questions improve.

This ain’t North Korea, you fucking idiot!

So, Ward - as our resident originalist and defended of all things Constitutional, what do you think of the claims, in NH and now in TX, that "stay-at-home" orders are unconstitutional?!

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Texas-Supreme-Court-Harris-County-stay-at-home-15166758.php?utm_campaign=CMS+Sharing+Tools+%28Premium%29&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&fbclid=IwAR2gnRXo3C0i-Xs-gdj-VvjEO_yXTDhsoCUpwhLLO9Gt7ziPgkWajq7RD1Q

The Federal Government is restricted from national quarantines. The states not so much thanks to the 10th amendment and the Commerce Clause. on that basis I would says states have Constitutional authority.  At the state level public health safety seems to take precedence. Ohio postponed the democrat primary election citing the threat to health by the corona virus, basically ignoring a judge’s ruling to the contrary. Further the state’s rescheduled election will prohibit in person voting. And Ohio was among the first states to close non essential businesses, schools, etc.
I don’t know if Texas accords the state the same power in overseeing public health.

Every time Red mentions the Commerce Clause, I think of Indigo Montoya. You keep using that phrase. I dont think it means what you think it means.

For what it is worth, the 10th Amendment would not give the States the right to quarantine either.

Of course it does.

Neither it nor the Commerce Clause grant the states any rights they did not already have.

LOL

Laugh away. It is your away of admitting I am right.

About what?

No fish for you!

Sir!

Florida sheriff charges pastor who kept megachurch open, said closings are for ‘pansies’
