I don’t get the California state-wide shutdown. It’s a diverse state. There is a great deal of open land, farm land, mountain retreats, et al. Shutting down the cities makes sense to me... shutting down the rest... Why?!

See post #7. Pelosi nephew Newsom is a democrat.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

For a state that has absolutely refused to limit illegal immigration, deal with the homeless or even to control crime, little makes sense other that the Left's insatiable drive for absolute power and control.

Ultimately it has to be voluntary compliance. There obviously aren’t enough LEOs to enforce the order on a state the physical size of CA with 39 million people. I might expect a few high-profile arrests of flagrant violators to drive home that this is serious and to create shame. But wholesale enforcement? No way is that possible.

That is my question also.

BTW, you ought to see the RV parks around here. Full of CA RVs that “escaped” CA before the shoe dropped.
