Wait, so who is left to die from climate change?

Snail darters. They’ll be voting democrat too.

We well and thoroughly flattened the curve. Our mistake was not asking "what then"?

Won't it be OK if they wear masks?

Our biggest mistake is allowing governors to have 'emergency powers', the edicts of which never have to be taken before the people's representatives after a reasonable length of time for extension of that authority

Thanksgiving and Christmas are cancelled... you heard it here first.

(They try every year WITHOUT covid, this is a bonus for them.)

That mistake was made decades ago.

Truthfully, I don't believe emergency powers in and of themselves are a mistake. However, there should have been strict time limits and affirmative votes by the legislature to continue them rather than, as in Indiana, where the legislature can vote to end them.

Agreed. I just don't know how/why we got here. Only 7 states require the governor to seek extension of emergency powers after a set time limit and an additional 2 states require prior legislative approval of emergency decrees. That is less than 20% of all states

I'm in favor of giving the governor the ability to act quickly in an emergency, but would rather what constitutes an emergency be tightly defined and that it be acknowledged that after, say, 28 days you no longer have an emergency but rather an ongoing situation the response to which should be legislatively based. I fail to see the sense in reining in the federal government, only to allow tyranny on the next rung down

Emergency powers should have a limited scope and a clear endpoint. We're way past any definition of "emergency".

Agreed completely!

Cannot seem to find an updated answer but WHO was close to having to stop calling it a pandemic as it was no longer meeting the thresholds to continue calling it one. They do not seem to want to tell us this is at least slowing way down. Don't want to give up emergency powers...

15 days to flatline has turned into a power move. This has got to end.

I'm betting Lord Holcomb instead, extends the mask mandate again at the end of the week.

 

[NKBJ]

Heh, the next wave is almost here.

 

[Ingomike]

They need some solid science presented if he does. I have wondered if part of this is to keep the INW region able to travel to Chicago? Any potential that is a factor?

 

[d.kaufman]

Heh, the next flu season is almost here.

FTFY

Wisconsin just did through November.

His numbers are tanking as I type. He needs to pull that fat ****ing head out of his tail pipe.
