New coronavirus lockdowns may be needed, CDC official says
Washington Examiner ^ | June 12, 2020 | David Hogberg

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that widespread lockdowns may be needed again if coronavirus cases continue to increase.

"If cases begin to go up again, and particularly if they go up dramatically, it’s important to recognize that more extensive mitigation efforts such as what were implemented back in March may be needed again," Dr. Jay Butler, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, told reporters on a conference call Friday.

For close to THREE MONTHS now I've asked just about everyone I've crossed paths with TWO questions.. 1. "Do you know ANYONE who has contracted the coronavirus?" One person acknowledged their cousin got it but got over it in 5 days.

The other question.. 2. "Do you KNOW anyone personally who has DIED from the corona virus?" The answer unequivocally, across the board, has been "NO."

The way these stories report this "PANDEMIC" you would expect to see people falling in the streets and dropping like flies that were sprayed.

My point: The virus, in my opinion, has been INTENTIONALLY exaggerated!

Maybe the CDC should just go back to worrying about Climate Change.

I second your proposal in comment #46. Well done!

-——————Begin Quote-———————

May I propose some rules for the new lockdown? I think that these rules would make the lockdown more ... aah, effective.

(1) All left-wing political activity involving rioting, looting, stealing, arson, car-torching, property destruction, burglary, assault, illicit substances, interference with police, blocking highways, or other felony is banned. Anyone suspected of violating this ban shall go to jail for a one-year quarantine period or until the legal resolution of the case before eligibility for bail.

(2) Any left-wing political activity not banned is limited to a maximum of nine persons with strict social distancing and heavy local regulation. Any such persons shall not use, possess, or distribute any illicit drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana or engage in such activity while under the influence of same. Trump rallies are not left-wing and therefore excluded from the nine-person limit.

(3) All persons are highly encouraged to adhere to religious communities, to worship on every Sunday or some other day of the week as appropriate (Saturday for Jews), to meet on other days of the week, to join in large religious processions, and to partake in catechetical activities.

(4) The following activities are considered nonessential and must terminate: pornographers (even websites), prostitution, entertainment inappropriate for families, alcohol and liquor sales, marijuana dispensaries, abortion, contraception, Planned Parenthood, Communist party offices, indoctrination centers, fake-news outlets, and left-wing media businesses.

(5) Persons should try to avoid large gatherings, especially indoors or under air conditioning, but this restriction shall not apply to religious assemblies or Trump rallies.

(6) Most other sectors of the economy should operate normally or with special precautions not intended to shutter honorable businesses.

the CDC

First they declare a rise in numbers of cases...

Then that rise shows up after 48 hours...

Then they state a new lock-down may be necessary...

Oh it’s coming. Is anyone at all going to listen after the
riots went off without so much as a whimper from the CDC?

F the CDC.

Something smells rotten in Denmark, if you catch my drift!

Can’t have folks going back to work now can we!

This is about as political as it gets.

I’m done with listening...

much is being made of increased CASES in Arizona.

CASES are meaningless.

11 Jun: Arizona Daily Sun: Ducey touts hospitals amid focus on rise in virus cases
By BOB CHRISTIE and TERRY TANG Associated Press
(Arizona Gov. Doug) Ducey said the increase was not unexpected partly because of a wider availability of testing...

22 May: Arizona Republic: Arizona says its testing blitz has been a success. But counties have had uneven results
by Alison Steinbach
For several counties, the May 2 and May 9 blitzes accounted for up to 30% of all completed tests since early March...
The state has worked on growing its diagnostic test numbers over the past few months, particularly with the testing blitzes in May. For most of March and April, criteria were strict so that only those who had textbook COVID-19 symptoms or were high-risk could get tested. The state shifted guidelines on April 23 so that anyone who believes they are infected can get tested...
Other factors that hindered state testing include constrained testing guidelines, a later outbreak than other states, less of a need than East Coast hot spots and limited public lab testing, according to a number of experts...

Minnesota came up on Laura Ingraham today.

apparently there was ONE new hospitalization yesterday.

Dr. she was interviewing also mentioned Minnesota is the only State continuing to send infected covid patients back/into nursing homes, and they should stop doing it.

They won’t arrest rioters and looters but they’ll arrest law abiding citizens engaging in their Constitutional rights.

the president will not go for this again...the governors are a different matter....

all the leftists want is for Trump NOT to hold his massive rallys....that is the whole point....

we should have asked vulnerable people to self isolate instead of closing the schools and destroying our economy....

but they did, and we let them, and some fearpers rejoiced in it....

we should have allowed herd immunity....

We never shutdown our economy in the past virus epidemics including the Spanish flu. The Blue states were the ones who shutdown their state and cities destroying lives and livelihood and now are blaming Trump for their self made disaster.
