WALES
112 new cases have tested positive for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Wales, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 1,563, although the true number of cases is likely to be higher.
It should be noted that while todays number of cases is lower than numbers previously reported, this should not automatically be considered a trend as case numbers can be subject to daily fluctuation.
7 further deaths have been reported to us of people who had tested positive for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), taking the number of deaths in Wales to 69.

Coronavirus: a hospital doctor in Moselle has died
March 31 4:14 am - LCI editorial staff
A hospital doctor died of Covid-19, announced the director general of the regional hospital center of Metz (Moselle). Sixth of this profession to succumb to the coronavirus, he counted among “a little more than forty hospital staff” of this hospital to be infected, noted Marie-Odile Saillard, Monday, March 30. Among them, people also placed in intensive care, but “also sick people, but not seriously ill”.
He is the sixth hospital doctor to die from Covid-19, eight days after an emergency doctor from Compiègne, two doctors (a gynecologist and a general practitioner) from Haut-Rhin, and two general practitioners from Moselle and Haute-Saône had been killed.
A baby in the US died a couple days ago. NY just had a child.
How many other children have died in the US is anyone’s guess since we aren’t testing.

“The University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic are close to unveiling antibody tests that can determine if people have already been infected by the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and are no longer threats to get or spread the infection.”
Norwalk, CT balloon of cases - Foreign ship yard workers? It’s close to New Rochelle which is a hot spot. More NYC spread.
Do you think the effective suspension of our Constitution evidenced by the extraordinary and unrestrained powers self-granted by the governors of the various states to quite literally control the lives and property and restrict even the most basic liberties of the people of their states under the mantle of "protecting public health" and "it's for the collective good" for an expanding and in most cases undefined length of time is warranted by this virus?
Before answering, I ask that you consider this question with the understanding that with respect to these governors's growing authority and in consideration of the penalties including arrest, fines and implied incarceration faced by citizens who violate the new and expanding proscriptions that are being issued each day by these governors -- no new law has been enacted (that is, the legislatures are not meeting); no crimes have been committed against laws that are currently in place; and no trials have been held (that is, the courts are not operating)
Equally critical to consider before responding is that once the the threat posed by this virus has been mitigated to, I suppose, an "acceptable level" (not sure how that will be determined and by whom), how will the constitutionally-limited powers of state executives be restored? Do we rely on their integrity and good intentions to "self-rein in"? That sounds damn risky to me. From the actions -- not intentions but actions -- of some of the governors -- specifically the vile (a carefully selected descriptor) actions of the despicable governors of Michigan and Nevada who commanded that a drug determined to be effective against this virus is prohibited in their states from being administered or even prescribed by doctors to save the life of their patients in the name of "protecting public health" while these governors continue to allow -- allow! their state's abortion clinics to continue to function as an "essential medical service". We must rely on powerful people like these two heartless governors to restore our liberty? Are you kidding me?
You can tell I'm quite concerned about what is happening to our Republic even though I understand the current threat this virus poses ... and I would appreciate your thoughtful response to the original question I have posed. Cheers & regards.
Interesting...Veritas posted a video of James O’Keefe getting tested in New Rochelle...
Yes, though slower and later than some more upscale commuter towns on the train line between the 2/3. That’s why I am thinking it is more workers at the supermarkets, and on the front lines otherwise.
Thank you for the link, cgbg. Cheers! and best wishes for your continued good health.
I think that is supposed to be 27 COVID-19 deaths for VA.
This is tough to read too. Eleven vet’s dead of it in a home for old vets:

I read today that it has been reported in at least 20 nuraing home in CT too.
What do you think of what happened during Reconstruction?
What do you think about vaccine mandates?
