Actually, I hope that Newsom and the rest of his LIEberal Governor buddies KEEP ON pissing We the People off!

We already have a sufficient number of reasons to vote against EVERY DEMOCRAT in November, but, WTH, when they are digging their own graves, letem keep digging!

up and down this diverse state.

Diverse? In skin color, yes. In political thought, not at all.

Exactly. That is why the lefties are the real racists and the most shallow. Disgusting.

Eventially, when there is no other alternative...

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.

Why is DeSantis disappointing to you? He seems to be one of the rational ones. Considering the age of Florida's population, that it didn't expode like NY is a miracle. He is treating it area by area, unlike a lot of the stupid ones, and actually following the science, targetting hard hit areas, and protecting the most vulnerable sanely. He seems to be opening most things up.

I'll trade him for our idiot Michigan gov any day.
