Coronavirus Thread V: A Shot in the Arm (READ OP)

[Austrodia]

Saving lives from a Virus that doesn't harm people? there is no proof the virus can actually kill.

You can't possibly be serious. if that's true why are European countries shutting down again?

Corrupt Leaders is why Europe has been shutting down.

[Kannap]

Staying alive shouldn't be partisan. The vaccine is a good thing. I know people who don't trust it, and that's scary.


Free minded? What do you mean?

they are free from the Lying Media.

If that were true my conservative family members wouldn't eat up everything they hear on the news as if it were true.

Meanwhile, I don't find many news networks trustworthy at all. Most of them are just in the business of manufacturing consent.

What does one have to do with the other?

[Thermodolia]

But the vaccines work, and they're saving lives. They just trust the media that wants to lie to them instead of trusting science.

Saving lives from a Virus that doesn't harm people? there is no proof the virus can actually kill.

This has got to be the dumbest thing I’ve read today

[Kowani]

30% of Americans would refuse a coronavirus vaccine-but as with all things, it’s partisan. 41% of Republicans would refuse it, compared to 29% of Democrats. (It’s on page 25)

Hmmm. How many republicans are doing that because the ex-president said so (I guess that would include the simple minded anti-vaxers?) and those who think the ex-president screwed it up?

How many democrats are refusing it thinking the ex-president screwed it up or are part of the simple minded anti-vaxers?

Yeah that’s not a thing that gets asked

[Esalia]

Corrupt Leaders is why Europe has been shutting down.

What does one have to do with the other?

They're a COVID conspiracy theorist who doesn't believe anyone has died from COVID.

You can probably connect the dots yourself.

They released corona so they could have an excuse to stop the people from rallying together against them.

Right... that’s why it started in Europe and not China. Or isnt similar at all to other COVID style viruses. Must be fake. Because the world has definitely not had global pandemics before.

What? So its all plot to creature a dictatorship and make everyone live boring miserable lives so they can stay in power? Is that what your suggesting?

What? I've heard this conspiracy theory before but what the heck does it have to do with the pandemic? You are aware Europe isn't all white? The UK is doing a fantastic job with vaccinations and will likely have the pandemic over by the Summer.

There's really no point trying to argue with someone suggesting such blatantly false ideas.

Only ethnic Europeans? what's an Ethnic European? Prove your outlandish claims.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) pushes legislature to take away the ability of local governments to issue mask mandates

Joining a growing swell of states, Gov. Ron DeSantis appears focused on erasing mask requirements across Florida by now demanding that such emergency powers of local governments be rolled back by the Republican-led Legislature.

The local measures are especially important, because DeSantis has never issued a statewide mask requirement, critics say. DeSantis late Wednesday signed his own executive order canceling any fines issued by local governments against individuals and businesses related to COVID-19 restrictions.

Several cities and counties have been fining businesses for violating mask and other requirements – getting around the governor’s September prohibition on individuals being cited.

But in his State of the State address opening the two-month legislative session on March 2, DeSantis also called for “reform of the emergency powers of local government.” He later used a professional wrestling analogy to ridicule business restrictions taken by South Florida officials to slow the spread of the virus.

“I mean, you look at some of those places they’re booming right now because I effectively came over the top rope and said ‘Enough of this, we’ve got to put people back to work,’” DeSantis said.
“But I just worry going forward, when would some of this end?” he added.

In refusing since the earliest days of the pandemic to enact a statewide requirement, DeSantis has said such decisions should be made on the local level.

Now, he’s looking to limit their authority.

Emergency orders issued by counties and cities last seven days and have been updated weekly since last year’s beginning of the pandemic. Initially, they involved closures of businesses such as bars and restaurants, but since DeSantis ordered these fully open last September, restrictions still in place mostly involve social distancing and mask-wearing.

Miami-Dade County is the only county still with a curfew – at midnight, which mostly affects bars and restaurants. County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has said it may be lifted April 5, based on trends with coronavirus infections.

Much of DeSantis’ legislative wish list finds allies among fellow GOP members of the Legislature, and his call for clamping down on local governments is gaining support. A bill (HB 945) that cleared a House committee Tuesday would limit local emergency orders such as those used to restrict businesses and require mask-wearing, to endure for no more than 42 days.

Democrats pressed the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Bob Rommel, (R), if he was specifically looking to undo local mask requirements.

“Anytime, any elected official mandates somebody ... to do something they may not want to do or take away any of their rights, yeah, that’s an emergency,” Rommel said. “This bill does not prohibit local governments from requiring everybody to wear a mask for a period of time, with an in and out date.”

Rommel said his proposed change is “not specific for masks. It’s for anything.”

Funny how it’s local governments shouldn’t have any power and then when money is needed; that’s the local governments responsibility.

Another interesting thing? How many of the people who support that are all about private property rights?
