B-Man Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 THREE FEET SOUNDS A LOT BETTER: There’s little “science” behind the six-foot social-distancing rule. A U.K. expert says that the country’s two-meter rule is based on “very fragile evidence” and is probably excessive. Sweden, Norway, Austria and Finland are getting by with one-meter distancing, which makes it much easier for restaurants and other businesses to reopen.
B-Man Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) JAMES BOVARD ASKS AN EVERGREEN QUESTION: Will the Political Class Be Held Liable For What They’ve Done? And the evergreen answer: When has it ever been? “Shutting down entire states, including vast uninfected rural swaths, is the economic equivalent of burning witches or sacrificing virgins to appease angry viral gods. Because politicians have no liability for the economic damage they inflict, they have no incentive to minimize the disruptions they decree. . . . Even New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who callously compelled nursing homes to accept COVID patients, will have no legal culpability for a policy that contributed to more than 5,000 nursing home deaths in his state. Pennsylvania Health Czar Rachel Levine issued a similar order, contributing to thousands of nursing home deaths, and then removed her own 95-year-old mother from a nursing home to keep her safe.” I’m willing to cut people a lot of slack in dealing with something unprecedented on limited information. But so many of the actions were taken with so much asserted certainty about things that turned out to be wrong, because “science.” Edited May 22, 2020 by B-Man 4
B-Man Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Who Believes the Lockdowns Were About Science? by David Catron Original Article Every state and local politician who imposed lockdowns pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic claimed their decisions were based on “the science.” In reality, they ignored the advice of leading epidemiologists, relying instead on statistical models produced by “experts” with histories of wildly inaccurate projections. The most notorious of these oracles was, of course, Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, who claimed that coronavirus could kill 2.2 million Americans. Based on such apocalyptic predictions, combined with overcautious warnings from Beltway bureaucrats like Dr. Anthony Fauci, all but a few governors implemented economically destructive stay-at-home orders — despite the reservations of respected epidemiologists who questioned the logic of lockdowns from the beginning.

Tiberius Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Quote President Trump said that if governors do not follow his recommendations to allow in-person religious services to resume, he will “override” them. Trump did not specify what that meant during an appearance in the White House briefing room and did not take any questions. “In America we need more prayer, not less,” Trump said. Lol, how many of the Ten Commandments is this guy a walking billboard for violating? 2

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 On 5/9/2020 at 9:30 PM, B-Man said: Michigan Attorney General Sends in State Police to Shut Down 77 Year Old Barber Judge refuses to order Owosso barber shop to shut down, attorney general plans to appeal An Owosso barber who has kept his shop open despite a suspended license and a cease and desist order from the state will not have to close, a Shiawassee County judge ruled Thursday. The Michigan Attorney General's Office filed a request for an emergency temporary restraining order against barber Karl Manke when he refused to close his shop after receiving two citations — one for violating the governor's executive stay-home order and another from the county health department. Shiawassee County Circuit Court Judge Matthew Stewart decided Thursday not to grant the attorney general's request, allowing Manke to stay open. </snip> Manke appealed the summary suspension of his license, but Stewart determined Manke had not exhausted his administrative remedies and dismissed the case Wednesday. In addition to the attorney general's case, Manke also faces two misdemeanor charges for reopening his shop despite state shutdown orders. He is charged with a health department violation and with violating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order, according to Shiawassee County District Court records. Manke's attorney, David Kallman, did not immediately return a message left Thursday. He faces a more than $1,000 fine and is set to be arraigned on June 23. </snip> 1
