Philly has canceled all large gatherings through February. 


PA is now limiting all indoor dining to 25% capacity, and the 25% includes staff. 
 

The “we won’t go backwards” predictions are proving naive. CA and PA, parts of FL, TX. I’m sure others too.

More complete shutdowns could be coming to Florida, Broward County, maybe Dade as well.

“I expect in the next week or two we’ll have to order another complete shutdown in Broward. Dade will be there a week or so before us,” said Vice Mayor Steven Geller."

 

Thoughts, Magox? Not sure if you're in those counties but you've said you're in FL.

We are being held hostage by controlled politicians who could really care less...

 

The ransom...

 

More federal welfare money in the trillions to wash through the coffers...

 

Wash, rinse, and repeat...

 

Total BS...

 

 

 

...YOU know the drill.....the Dems let their woefully FAILED leadership nationwide albeit Governors, Mayors et al turn a blind eye to death, destruction, business closures etc.....because the skank Pelosi will craft House legislation in the TRILLIONS to pay for it.....passed on a party line vote......so on to the Senate and McConnell......rest assured he partially caves in an election year because the headline will read, "McConnell and Trump could care less about you"......so my Fed taxes should go up to pay for gross ineptitude while at the same time local municipalities are waving the sabre about property tax hikes to cover shortfalls.......and let's NOT exclude Big Fredo from hiking the NYS Sales tax rate...only .individuals get to survive on less.....the effin' governments just goes to the well and raises taxes...yet still waste BILLIONS........

COLLATERAL DAMAGE: 

 

Restaurant Revolution: How the Industry Is Fighting to Stay Alive. 

 

“Two months into the pandemic, 40 percent of America’s restaurants were shuttered and 8 million employees out of work—three times the job losses seen by any other industry.

 

While some restaurants began reopening in May and June, most featured only takeout, delivery, or outdoor dining options due to local restrictions. The number of diners in June remained down more than 65 percent year over year, and the National Restaurant Association projected an industry revenue shortfall of $240 billion for the year.

 

Second-order effects of restaurant closures ripple through the American economy, bringing economic pain to farmers, fishermen, foragers, ranchers, manufacturers, and other producers who supply the industry. Equally hit are supply chain partners who move goods across the country.”

GOP CONGRESSMAN SAYS IT’S TIME TO RE-OPEN THE CAPITOL TO PUBLIC: 

 

Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill)says Democrats aren’t planning to allow the public to resume visiting Capitol Hill before the November election. Davis says that ought to happen today. Also staff. And, most importantly, all representatives to be physically present in the House chamber when voting.

 

 

Davis is the ranking Republican on the House Administration Committee, which oversees the daily operations of the lower chamber and has oversight of federal elections.

  Not just food production and service.  Briggs and Stratton which is the largest small engine manufacturer in the US has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week.

Sen. Ted Cruz said that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has “abandoned his oath” by siding with the four liberals on the Court yet again. The SCOTUS voted 5-4 to reject a Nevada church’s plea to suspend the state’s public health order limiting attendance at services:

 

 

 

 

The basic dispute revolved around this:

Nevada has placed a 50-person cap on all places of worship, no matter the capacity of the building, as a part of the state’s coronavirus restrictions.

But casinos, along with other businesses such as restaurants and movie theaters, may permit up to 50 percent capacity, allowing casinos to grant access to hundreds of patrons at a time.

Roberts is getting plenty of attention for how he sided, but so is Justice Neil Gorsuch’s dissent. Gorsuch does a nice job here of putting into words what so many have been thinking these past few months:

They should have had "***** the police" signs, riot gear, Molotov cocktails, and called it a "protest." Then they could congregate and stay open.

I'm not sure how a business owner could vote for a Democratic again. They allow rioters and looters free rein, and arrest small business owners trying to earn a living.

Oh, so NOW they need cops to help out.

 

Got it.

Masks are the alpha and the omega.  The raison d’etre.  The yin and the yang.  Why stop at the regular police... call on the SWAT team!

Bad math by this guy again. He projects 439 deaths for the remainder of the year for people under 34. 
 

We’ve had 95 in the last two weeks.

I agree with his premise that the mental and physical toll from Covid lockdowns  is worse than the disease but Berenson is consistently a propagandist. You need to always check his “work.” He’s been exposed multiple times, so I’d skip him as incredibly biased.

You’d skip him as biased because he has the capacity to critically think for himself whereas you don’t.  You gulp down mainstream news and analysis like a Slurpee.

You attack me personally but ignore his error and a discussion about the data. Kind of a pattern you have with my fact based criticisms. 

I’ve pointed out big chasm errors in his numbers before. He’s dumb or biased. Since agree with a lot of his numbers, I choose biased. 

 

You just have to check his work. He’s confidently sloppy.
