Jeff, thanks for posting. It is good that they are planning to convene, and I hope they do it quickly. I don't think, however, that awaiting a time-consuming acquisition of data should precede any actions taken. Berger and Moore need to start with the state constitution and the federal; and discern where Cooper and various local officials have violated them. And they need to pass legislation expeditiously that corrects the situation.

That is one way, Fred, at least theoretically. And these situations cry out for litigation. But with our checks-and-balances system, the General Assembly has a lot of power. And the Republicans who control it are not even trying to use it.

You should be, Fred. These namby-pamby tyrants want to take away everyone's liberty without justification. This has all been a massive over-reaction.

Fred, the man is right. The politicians like Cooper might be creating a much bigger problem than they are pretending to try to solve.

Fred, Krugman is of course a progressive Jew, and they hate Trump for reasons that I have discussed previously. But I think there is ample reason to believe that various elites are instigating an economic slowdown to deprive Trump of his re-election. The establishment media (of which Krugman is part)-- and the Ruling Class in the administrative state and Wall Street-- all are pushing in various ways for this thing to take a downward spiral.

Fred, it occurs to me that, all other things being equal, that could cause those facilities to have larger numbers of people at any one time because folks are forced to visit during a narrower time frame. That makes "social distancing" more difficult.

Fred, I noticed that the executive order exempted libraries. I wonder how they qualify as essential services or facilities worthy of protection from the mandate. There is an agenda being pursued that extends beyond public health.

Fred, history has shown that Ezekiel has been wrong about a lot of things. Perhaps the man (or woman) behind the curtain is keeping Biden in an aseptic bubble to protect him.

Yes, you were right, Fred. This was political malpractice.

Good question, Fred. They probably will say they have such a system; but I would be willing to bet it would not prevent them from voting here.

I agree, Fred. He would be the figurehead while someone else acts the the chief executive. Sort of like Obama and Jarrett. And yes, neurocognitive testing is performed on a fairly routine basis by certain kinds of certified practitioners. It is readily available.
