Dr. Deborah Birx said protesters who gather without wearing masks and not practicing social distancing at rallies against states’ lockdown regulations are “devastatingly worrisome” because they could spread the coronavirus to at-risk family members.
Birx, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, was asked by host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” about crowds that gathered at Michigan’s state capitol from a “public health standpoint.”
“It’s devastatingly worrisome to me personally because if they go home and, in fact, their grandmother or their grandfather who has a co-morbid condition and they have a serious or a very or an unfortunate outcome, they will feel guilty for the rest of our lives,” she responded. “So we need to protect each other at the same time we’re voicing our discontent.”
Demonstrations against governors’ stay-at-home orders have ramped up in the past weeks as the economic effects caused by the pandemic worsen and more Americans apply for unemployment benefits.

Sent this in part to a buddy today which I think covers this:
“Commissar Nicholas,
Greetings from Gulag. Yeah, good news. Tomorrow we actually get to go to the beach. Yup, the government has relented and is allowing various serfs, maybe surfs?, to go to the government beach. Hum, I think I missed that part of civics class that says it is a government beach. In fact, here last year they passed a law that says beach side owners actually own the land up to the high water mark. Sounds a bit confusing to me. On one hand you own the beach, says so right there in your deed, and you are taxed for it. Seems that maybe that is instilled in law too BUT you cannot go to your back yard because the state says so. Where does that pesky little citation in something called the fourth amendment that says you are to be secure in your person, places or things from unlawful seizure. Hum.
Let me see is there something before or after that in that so called bill of rights. First one says something about free assembly. I recall that in some states you cannot demonstrate against government orders about this stay at home nonsense. But it is not there. Second says something about guns. I think some demonstrators decided to take them to Lansing Mi this week to make their point. Maybe the authorities listened to that as I don’t recall anyone saying anything about that or more stupidly trying to wrest guns away from them. Third, well, I have not seen any soldiers chopped and quartered lately, wait, that has to do with putting them into someone’s house. Hum, don’t see any combat boots about here so I guess that one is still safe. on and on. Meanwhile out in California, it was noted in one of the local rags the government is releasing vicious criminals from incarceration to make room for the riotous, seditious, and downright onerous skate boarders, surfers and sun bathers who demonstrated against the state’s stay off the beach order there. Interesting times we live in. That is taken from the idiom from China “may you live in interesting times” which I guess they under pined by sending over the virus from hell.
Anyway, the city official here after relenting on the beach issue says the rest facilities will remain closed due to health concerns. I guess he did not think through the obvious fallacy about that but I will not get more graphic other than I would be careful where I walk or at least make sure I have on combat boots. Think of it, visit Amelia, find a bungy pit.
Sadly we had our first county fatality from the CCP Virus. 88000 people live in our county, 20 are in the hospital which has 100 beds. So few cases in fact they moved in from area hosptials. No problem unless you have one, like I do. Called my doc. He agreed and said he would make an office visit for me. Office in the hospital, which is closed to everything but emergency CCP virus stuff, so my appointment is in July. Hope my leg does not fall off before then or if the dreaded second wave does not wash in by then. That would be especially bad because when that wave washes in it would bring with it all the “stuff” from the dunes dropped by people who have no facility to use up there.
Yesterday on the news, they were talking about the Hong Kong flu of 68-69. (I guess since it was a British Possession then, we could call it what it was). I recall I got it. You recall those days, we were in the green fighting machine....”
IMO, if this happened in 68-69 or 50-52, China would be a deep water port for Mongolia today.
Which designer scarf she wears with her day’s ensemble is her big decision. They can also double as a colorful face mask.
She’s ‘special’, just like all the political elites in this country. Do as they say, not as they do.
The hospitals can take care of the spikes, which was the reason for the original 2 week lock down in the first place. People will always catch viruses, colds and everything else out there. This lock down, at this point,is out of control and ridiculous in my opinion. So is the mask wearing.

8 red states including South Dakota never had lockdowns in the first place. Every single one of them is doing vastly better than total lockdown York State or New Jersey and better than most states with draconian lockdowns instigated by dictatorial, tyrannical governors.
Go spread your alarmist nonsense elsewhere.
I read that Birx hasn’t renewed her medical license since 2014. She’s more interested in the bureacratic aspect of medicine rather than the actual practice.
Fauci is WAY more dangerous than Birx, even though she is dangerous!
Or (and much more likely) we will learn that social distancing is unproven science and this pandemic is nothing mire than the flu. Wake up look at the numbers, including Sweden. Do your research instead of just trusting the gov and msm.
Somebody has to go first.
How will you know with certainty? I read nothing but b.s. propaganda and I’m pretty confident that no matter what, it WILL be claimed that there was a HUGE spike, surge et al, in Georgia.
I love Trump, but unlike the mindless hoards, I don’t agree with everything he does. He means well, is for America, but is attacked form every direction because Satan and his Leftist minions driven by the spirit of antichrist hate freedom, hate us, hate America.
Trump has been extremely effective but he’s not perfect and our trust should not be in any man but in the Divine Providence of God Almighty who miraculously birthed our beloved nation and will rescue her now.
She makes me sick as does that cockroach farci. When is trump going to distance himself completely from these frauds?
C’mon man!
Those far-right red-state governors are ignorant. In the blue states, governors follow “science”. Like taking infected patients, shoving them in nursing homes, refusing to let them be admitted to empty hospital ships, and denying them the one thing (HCQ) that might keep them alive. Because “science”!
And since there is evidence that vitamin-D deficiency worsens the disease, they want people to stay inside, out of the sun. Because “science”!
And let’s cancel elective surgeries so that people can die of untreated cancer and heart disease, because “science”!
You know the thing.

Cheers, FRiend
No we won’t because those who control the models are liars. Those who control the death counts are liars. Don’t be a freaking dupe
I’ll wait for her to have a medical license before listening further.
Heh. It’s not the death count, it’s who counts the deaths. -Birx-Stalin.
There will be a spike in people who have really been locked down....
But most people have gone out and may have it and not know it...
Wal Mart... Home Depot and Lowe’s ...are full of people
Has anyone done a study of a WalMart store...??????
Yes, even though the 'experts' can't seem to agree with each other.
Has he been arrested yet and his pilot's license revoked?
