There needs to be a national dialogue about this. Unfortunately with the way Trump oafishly says things and the way the media likes to cover the minutia of his words as opposed to the substance of it,

Everyone's looking to the south and east for the first flare up -- but people should watch LA. 55% of the population is now unemployed (because: Hollywood is more than actors). The divide between the

PRIVATE GET-TOGETHERS NOW VERBOTEN IN CHICAGO: 

 

No, It’s Not Heinrich Himmler; It’s Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Issuing a Warning to Constituents. 

 

“I’ve directed Superintendent Brown to order all police districts to give special attention to these parties and this is how it’s going to be.

 

We will shut you down.  We will cite you and if we need to, we will arrest you and we take you to jail. Period. There should be nothing ambiguous about that.

 

Don’t make us treat you like a criminal. But if you act like a criminal and you violate the law, and you refuse to do what’s necessary to save lives in the city in the middle of a pandemic, we will take you to jail. Period.”

The Mayor of the city that just released 1,300 actual criminals from jail to slow spread of Covid 19. How ironic of a statement. To heck with freedom of assembly in Chicago; it seems.

  I don't see malls, casinos, and churches opening any time soon here in NY.

Malls and Casinos okay.... But there is nothing anyone can do to keep churches closed. They are closed now of their own decision, and can open at any time they want, by their own decision. This is stated twice in the First Amendment as a religion, and as the right to assemble.

You are correct.

 

 

But I am afraid there are many Governors who won't care.

TYLER O’NEIL: What’s the Real Story Behind Continuing Lockdowns? 

 

“While the lockdowns began as a public health measure, their continued extension appears to have more to do with power than safety.”

 

 

 

Lots of good stuff here from Tyler, well put together.

^^^This. It’s about power and politics; “ safe” and “ safety” have become the most overused terms by lefty politicians. It’s a falsehood, and it’s being used to justify outrageous power grabs. There is no being “ safe” from this (or any other )virus. We won’t be any safer a month or two or six from now than we currently are. It’s a stall tactic, and it’s also a lie.

it’s about time.

 

We will see how long it lasts now that Virginia has announced they will be counting all positive tests as new cases, even if it is they same person given a test in consecutive days.

 

It will make it look worse than it is

Why Congress should reject Illinois’ $44 billion bailout request

Adam Schuster-ILLINOIS POLICY

Director of Budget and Tax Research

 

Two decades of fiscal mismanagement have left state finances ill-prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress should condition any additional aid for troubled states on taxpayer protections that ensure pensions are solvent, accounting is realistic and budgets are balanced.

 

Now, with fallout from COVID-19 exposing that mismanagement, Illinois Senate President Don Harmon wants a federal bailout worth at least $44.2 billion.

 

Without strict consumer protections against risky bets, insider deals and other predatory behavior from state lawmakers, a bailout for Illinois or other states struggling with fiscal crises of their own making would be ineffective and harmful to residents already suffering under a broken system.

The Most Corrupt States In America

Feb 19, 2020,06:40am EST

 

Niall McCarthy   Forbes Contributor

 

A new report from the University of Chicago has shed light on the U.S. cities and states with the most public-sector corruption. Co-authored by UIC professor and political advisor Dick Simpson, the report is based on an analysis of public corruption statistics released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Across all states and Federal Judicial Districts in the United States, there have been 19,634 public corruption convictions over the past ten years. In 2018 alone, 695 public official, federal employees and government contractors were convicted of public corruption.

 

The research found that Chicago remains the most corrupt city in the United States with the Illinois-Northern Judicial District recording 1,750 public corruption convictions from 1976 to 2018.

So is it up to the states or the feds to set policy here? The see-sawing without a plan is unfortunate.

Not sure where the confusion lies.  It’s up to the states to set policy and the federal government sets guidelines.
