Rhode Island is now considered a high-risk state and anyone traveling to or from the Ocean State will be required to quarantine for two weeks, produce a negative test result or face fines beginning on Friday, state health officials announced.

The Department of Public Health confirmed in a tweet late Tuesday afternoon that Rhode Island was removed from its lower-risk state list “due to increases in both RI’s positive test rate and cases per 100,000.”

Rhode Island is the first Northeast state added to Massachusetts’ travel advisory list, which requires anyone traveling from all but seven states to complete a travel form prior to arrival and either quarantine for 14 days or produce a negative COVID-19 test.

Travelers who do not comply could face fines of $500 per day

Are these honest cases of COVID-19, or politically correct, “Orange Man Bad” false positives?

Also, we need to know if masks are possibly not working, soiled masks possibly helping to transmit virus.

The leftist mayors and governors are not going to willingly give us back our freedom. If we want it back, we are going to have to take it.

Covid hot spots keep appearing. Oh cynical me. Could someone be salting these areas with fresh COVID virus? It is possible and may well be provable with respect to keeping the fear going and continuing the closing down of the country.

I would like to know how many “positive” cases are symptomatic? That’s the important part; if 100 people test positive, but are asymptomatic, is there a problem? Do “they” know at what rate positive, asymptomatic cases actually infect people who test negative? The problem is, they know none of that, because they know so little about this disease. And what little we DO know, is probably unreliable, due to the dirty politics involved.

Rhode Island has always been a high risk state due to its proximity to New York City.

Always a per capita death rate among the highest states.

I’ve concluded that universal masking helps spread the virus and does nothing to control it.

Mine spends entire days in my pocket so outside of lint and maybe some sweat, I guess I’m OK.

After seeing yesterday’s shocking democrat primary results, it looks like the people of those leftist areas are satisfied with the status quo. (Or making it even MORE leftist).

If the Left will fake the news, they will fake the numbers. They want to instill fear into the population as much as possible.

The democRATS and the Left want to keep this going as long as possible. Of course, there are plenty of sheeple falling for it.

We are being played people. Gamed. Manipulated.

Rhode Island has given us:

Jack Reed
Sheldon Whitehouse

The state can die out as far as I am concerned.

CLOSING THE NET
This is the most important 28 minute video you will ever watch.
If it “mysteriously” vanishes from Utube, advise & I’ll find a less hostile venue for it!
