just when you thought you knew what stupid was

I was "warned" during a first responder training last November, that " this was going to be a big flu season". How they knew, I don't know.

3 MILLION Americans die each year of all causes. That's a lot, but unless it is "one of yours", we typical citizens don't really get concerned. Still, 3 MILLION! WTF

At present, overall mortality in America is UNDER expectations.... by about 200K... (maybe it's 20k I forget, and it's not important. UNDER is important) Go figure.

I guess, when anything is looked at closely it appears to be sensational. Like taking a hand magnifier into the garden. Scary!

When morgues are over filled and they are digging mass graves at the outskirts of town, THEN invoke measures to take away freedoms and possibly destroy the economy.

As it is, CNN would probably show a sewer line being constructed and say these are COVID MASS GRAVES. LOL And oh ya, Orange Man Bad, all his fault!

And a word from the optimist side

Honey found to be a better treatment for upper respiratory tract infections than traditional remedies

I wonder what the results would be if the Gov. started testing EVERYONE for the common flu?
We KNOW it kills thousands every year and IF asymptomatic people were tested what would we find?

Bingo! Test ‘em and track ‘em!

And you never will.... The LAW gives the governor, mayor, etc... the authority to issue a mandate. Sheesh.

Still not codified into the crimes code, still not enforceable from the LEO side.

Depends on the state. Most have a law on the books saying something to the effect of "In case of a state of emergency, the governor can issue emergency orders which have the force of law for 30 days"
The orders aren't codefied, but the governor's authority to issue them is.

Yes, I’m well aware where his authority comes from, there’s all sorts of laws that aren’t criminal/traffic law, and not a concern of the police, that was my point. We (the police) aren’t and won’t enforce such things.
