Governor Andrew Cuomo is insisting the capacity of the hospital has to be below 70% before he opens the state [poorly worded, since corrected] and the transmission rate has to be 1.7% for a certain number of days. His guidelines are very arbitrary. There are a lot of leftists in New York who will accept this, but then again, that’s true of California, and we see some signs of the hold breaking.
Far-far-left Governor Newsom said he won’t allow gyms, hair salons, manicurists, and similar enterprises to open for business for two to three months. And he became angry this past weekend when 40,000 people showed up at the two beaches that were allowed to open. It’s over 90 degrees there.
People are becoming tired of the stay-at-home orders, especially those people whose businesses are being destroyed. The despots may think they can control people indefinitely, but signs are that is not the case.
In Newport Beach, an ordinance to close the beaches for several weekends was rejected in a 5-2 vote.
Some businesses are going to open without permission or they won’t open at all.
CLOSING BEACHES REJECTED
BREAKING: In a 5-2 vote, Newport Beach rejects ordinance that would have closed their beaches over the next several weekends. It comes after tens of thousands of people flooded the beach over the weekend, resulting in sharp criticism from Governor Newsom. Beach stays OPEN @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/2eRqkrZfi8

For everyone who is questioning the legitimacy of this photo, yes it’s from Saturday, as are all of these photos from @GettyImages. There were an estimated 40,000 people there. https://t.co/7VFocmsKjL

BUSINESSES ABOUT TO GO UNDER ARE DEFYING THE ORDERS
These two small business owners will fight for their survival. They should start a GoFundMe page. Contrary to what people think, political leaders do not have the authority to overturn the constitution. People abide by their ‘recommendations’ if they make sense.
ICYMI: Two local small business owners are fed up w/ lockdown, never got any government money, and fear they will have no livelihood to come back to after this is over. They are REOPENING for business, and one tells me he’s willing to go to jail for it. https://t.co/XdpajiSUy0

“Unless they handcuff me and take me to jail, I will NOT close.”
TONIGHT: Two local small business owners have had enough w/ lockdown orders & are reopening. They never got any gov’t money, say they’re going under, and they plan to fight any gov’t effort to stop them. @FOXLA 10pm pic.twitter.com/J2mgO1BpCS— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) April 28, 2020
THE REALITY
Currently, there are 20,000 cases in LA county and the death count stands at 942. So far, statistically, .002% of LA county’s population has tested positive for COVID-19, though the real number is obviously likely significantly higher; .00009% of LA county’s population has died as a result of the virus. (10 million + population).
In California, in general, there are 46,445 cases and 1,873 deaths as of today. That translates to .001 with the disease and .000046 deaths in a population of roughly 40 million.
Modified social distancing would work with businesses abiding by the 6 ft and mask rules.
Governor Gavin Newsom plans to step up police enforcement at the beaches, but meanwhile, the double standard continues.
After a weekend in the 90s and beaches filling up @GavinNewsom said more aggressive enforcement may be coming.
Meanwhile this is absolutely acceptable:pic.twitter.com/Y0RYWt4eJC

The totalitarians, all of whom never missed a big fat government paycheck in their twisted evil lives, are going to lose control and then get voted out in disgrace if they don’t wake up and smell the coffee so to speak.
Californians are revolting? I always knew they were.
Remember when California disabled a skateboard park by filling it with sand? Maybe Gavin “Nero” Newsom could kill two birds with one stone by removing all sand from Newport beaches and dumping it into facilities threatening his lockdown.
With the CA natives getting restless they’ll be plenty of potential targets, including but not limited to hair salons, gyms, etc. As we write this, Gov. Nero might be casting a threatening glance at the two small businesses cited above.
It’s what unchecked despots do.
Even Republican governors are delaying opening and using “task forces” with a gazillion members to deflect the blame in case the numbers of infections go up. Here’s a tidbit, throughout the country until probably the last week you couldn’t even get a test without any symptoms. This guarantees the percentage of positives vs tests is going to be much, much higher than if you tested EVERYBODY!
This a coup done through a Communist China manufactured biological weapon to erect a Socialist nation now being done through Blue State Governors
How will comrade Newsom enforce these imperial edicts? Import enforcers from China?
The CPUSA is revealing itself in a major way and this may wake up even the dullards as to the danger of this fifth column of traitor RAT scum who are hostile to America and its people.
It is an effective and evil plan in several ways which you identified.
Meanwhile, China Mitch, with his hundreds of millions in Chinese government shipping, used the NRSC to write a letter recommending that candidates not support Trump’s pandemic policies.
America may simply be too stupid and corrupt to overcome this situation.
I just saw a statistic for the Houston metro area which probably covers 5 counties and several million people. Houston itself is about 4 million. There have been around 20,000 reported cases and 211 deaths. Really? I’m not discounting the tragic loss of these victims but we’re trying to destroy Houston’s economy for this? Nationwide the death toll is about 0.5% and we’ve wiped out our entire growth for the last 3 years for that? One, I believe this is biological warfare by China. Two, the Democrats are not letting a crisis go to waste in, A, pushing their agenda they cannot otherwise impose on us and, B, attempt to destroy Trump by destroying the centerpiece of his accomplishments, the economy. Democrats don’t give a flip about everyday Americans. They prove it time and time again when they take the side of illegal aliens, citizens of other countries, foreign governments including our enemies China & Iran, over the interests & wellbeing of American citizens so it is no wonder they’re willing to destroy the financial well being of America as an acceptable casualty to accomplish their socialist and globalist agenda.
NY/NJ account for over half of all deaths by/with/suspected of Covid.
The rest of the 48 states have less than 1 death per 100,000 people.
The number of cases is a near meaningless stat. It’s far higher. And since it is far higher, the “death rate” is also a bogus stat.
Deaths are always tragic. But deaths are not confined to Covid, and the longer we keep the economy shut down, the steeper the climb out is, and the more collateral death and suffering we will see as a result of the solution. Suicides and drug overdoses climb with unemployment. Addictions thrive in fear and misery. Domestic abuse goes up. Preventative medicine goes down.
We have taken out the max loan on human capital. Now we are just trading lives instead of saving them. The trade cost is rising. And worse, we aren’t actually saving lives, we are just stretching the timeline. COVID is going nowhere. So short of herd immunity, we are going to either pay the price to get there, or pay a bigger price to hide from it.
Examining the realities of the fatalities
90% are over 55
70 % are over 70
90% have comorbidities
30% have occurred in nursing homes and other long term care for the elderly
*NY and NJ REQUIRE nursing homes and long term care facilities to admit COVID+ patients.
The numbers speak for themselves on this topic.
38% have occurred in NY state alone.
We have very clear data showing the at risk population, and the at risk states. Applying a blanket approach that uses data biased as it is is grossly ignoring the cost in lives and livelihoods that will be paid as a result.
But a massive crisis can’t be wasted. Those making decisions that barter the lives and livelihoods for their political benefit are a disgrace. Yet we have a host of guilty parties doing exactly that.
Stay informed people.
very well said
