Yeah, the NY Court system did the same thing Monday.

 

Any talk of the courts closing? I'm hearing talk of limits being set stating that you can't gather with 10 or more people. If that's the case... how would the courts continue?

The Courts in NY closed at 5pm on Monday. Only "essential" matters can be handled, such as arraignments (such as they are under the bail reform), Orders of Protection issuance/extension, Child Welfare emergency removals, etc. All town, village, and city courts are closed, other than night/weekend/holiday arraignments, with any emergencies/arraignments during the weekdays being handled in designated courthouses (mostly county courthouses) by designated judges (a family/county/supreme court judge).

 

As usual, the response in NY is halfassed, completely violates numerous laws (oh, and the NYS/US Constitutions), and was poorly thought-out. There were 3-4 memos over the weekend from the chief administrative judge in Albany, with things changing by the hour on Monday.

 

Oh, and Habeas Corpus has apparently been suspended by administrative fiat. So that's fun.

Author: “The virus is the product of natural evolution, ending any speculation about deliberate genetic engineering.”

---

JUPITER, Fla. — Over the course of this Covid-19 ordeal, a number of outlandish conspiracy theories have emerged that the virus was produced in a Chinese, Canadian, or American lab. Conspiracy theorieshave become an increasingly common part of everyday life in recent years, but a new study on Covid-19’s origins is disproving this theory. A team of international researchers have concluded that the novel coronavirus has entirely natural origins through evolution.

Public genome sequence data on Covid-19, as well as similar viruses, was extensively analyzed for this study. The results show absolutely no indication that the virus was produced artificially or in a lab setting.

Evolution 

How do you have any right to post anything regarding evolution?

  Ontario (14 million people) has tested more people than the entire United States.

I keep hearing about millions of tests being available, now it's just tens of thousands. A different ***** story every week. Doctors everywhere are complaining there is not enough tests.

   Wtf is going on? This is the most dysfunctional I have ever seen our govt in my 60 years. Who would have thought that appointing ass kissing yes men to important positions instead of qualified people would have repercussions. Who would have thought that lies and wishful thinking don't solve real problems.

Then you haven't paid attention the past 60 years. Just some off the cuff examples: 

* We started a war and sent troops into battle without enough ammunition or armor to fight it efficiently in 2003. 

* We had an administration completely bungle a major epidemic in which over 1,000 Americans were killed before they ever announced anything about it (Swine flu)

* We outsourced all our manufacturing and production of staples (and medicine) to hostile foreign countries in the name of "globalism"

* Successive administrations lied to the public about domestic spying in order to use that information to blackmail everyone from politicians to media to private citizens. 

 

Go back to sleep. Someone will wake you when it's over.

What is your explanation for why new Chinese cases stopped cold, when the spread of infections is supposed to last up to a year?

I don't believe anything the Chinese Government says - I have been there on business - I will never go back...they are awful people in an awful country

 

I think you look at Italy and  other western nations for data.....wait'll this hits India

 

AFA the Chinese "cooking" this up....DNA science types have confirmed this originated from bat borne viruses...so I will put my trust into them....you know....scientists as opposed to DTJ....

 

AFA a year...My view is our late start and social distancing efforts are so porous that we have unwittingly stepped entered the all in + right now strategy....I don't think anyone knows how persistent things will be a year out...I have 3 set of parents between my wife and I - they are all in their 80's  - l think I will be lucky if they are unaffected...I think odds are, one of them will be taken out from this are likely.

As the White House press corps continues to ask President Trump why he’s calling the COVID-19 coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China as the “Chinese Virus,” here’s a new article the The Times of London on how the communist government in Beijing is trying to censor the story of how they tried to cover up the devastating plague on the world:

You should wake up. If you think that Trump is there to 'drain the swamp' and expose the 'deep state' you are a fool. He is a grifter, a pathological liar, and a conman. His family has cheated this country for generations, greedy ***** criminals every one of them. I couldn't give a ***** about Democrats or Republicans. It's a divide and conquer strategy while the Treasury is looted and the future stolen from our kids. I care about my family and friends and the future of this country. I don't worship a coward who lied to get out of service to his country and likes to act like a tough guy.

My goodness. You suddenly realize the game is rigged with taxes, raiding the treasury, Medicare, Medicaid and the like?  And you think the guy who has been in office for 39 months is the problem?  

 

Get off your high horse. Trump supporters love their families and friends, pay their taxes and contribute to society for the future of the country...just like you do.

You're still SOUND asleep. And it's showing. The examples listed are bi-partisan and only a fraction of the incompetence both parties have displayed. Trump didn't cause this incompetence but his administration is better than any before it at exposing it to those willing to take an honest look. 

 

Your government has been selling you out, poisoning your mind, and making the world a more unstable place for years before Trump came down the escalator. It's not being "Pro Trump" to acknowledge that -- it's honesty.

Norovirus is actually the Norwalk Virus, named for Norwalk Ohio.

 

Here are some variants:
 

• Norwalk virus
• Hawaii virus
• Snow Mountain virus
• Mexico virus
• Desert Shield virus
• Southampton virus
• Lordsdale virus
• Wilkinson virus

Then again, we have Lyme disease - named for Lyme Connecticut, West Nile Virus, and who can forget the Black Death.

the divide and conquer meme has been around longer than man has been alive.

 

if you had eyes and ears to see and hear and a brain that was capable of cognizant thought, you would understand that it is not Trump's fault, though he certainly abet's it. the current iteration has been stoked by the deep state and their lackeys, the main stream presstitutes. there is a reason for this, as his mere presence threatens their continued existence. their graft, criminal activities and thoroughfares  is being outed on a scale not really seen heretofore today.

All true but I agree with the Rhino that this is far from the biggest President fug up in the last 60 years.  I would also toss in Viet Nam for 4 administrations.  Go back a little further and toss in staging a coup in Iran and installing the Shah in power.
