Thank you, AED. Everyone is doing well with the exception of my grandson who has asthma. He was getting better, but the virus actually came back on him and he developed pneumonia. He just started on Azithromycin, so hoping this works because the poor boy has been sick for weeks.
In case you haven't seen this doctor earlier. He's also running against Liz Warren in MA.....good luck to him in that liberal swamp.
Catholic Bishop: Gov. Cuomo is “Not in Communion With the Catholic Church,” He’s “Ex-Communioned” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s name has been in the news a lot lately because of his efforts to save lives in one of the areas hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis. But a little more than a year ago, the Catholic politician got a lot of press for a very different reason. He signed radical pro-abortion law allowing unborn babies to be aborted for almost any reason up to birth in New York. Then, he celebrated. CNS News reports Catholic Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas said Cuomo is not in communion with the church because of his abortion activism, and more Catholic leaders should make that clear. “Andrew Cuomo makes it clear that he doesn’t believe Catholic teaching and therefore he’s ex-communioned. He’s out of communion,” Strickland said, referring to the governor’s record on abortion. “I think to make it clear, and thankfully some of the bishops in other places have taken steps to basically say that, that a politician or anyone who says, ‘I don’t agree with the Catholic Church on basic critical issues,’ they’re choosing to be out of communion,” the bishop continued. “I think we need to be clear that people like Andrew Cuomo are not in communion with the Catholic Church, and therefore should not be receiving the Body of Christ,” Strickland said. Strickland also spoke out when Cuomo signed the radical pro-abortion law in January 2019. According to the report: … Bishop Richard Stika of Knoxville, Tenn., tweeted in January 2019, “Someone asked me today if I would issue an excommunication of a Catholic Governor under my jurisdiction if the Governor did the same as in New York. I think I might do it for any Catholic legislator under my jurisdiction who voted for the bill as well as the Governor.” Strickland also tweeted, “I’m with Bishop Stika. I’m not in a position to take action regarding legislation in New York but I implore bishops who are to speak out forcefully. In any sane society this is called INFANTICIDE!!!!!!!!!!” Cuomo claims to value human life. Recently, he emphasized that restrictions due to the coronavirus are necessary, saying, “If everything we do saves just one life, I’ll be happy.” But he does not think the same way about babies in the womb. The Catholic Church teaches that every human life is precious because he/she is made in the image of God, and destroying an innocent human being is evil. https://www.lifenews.com/2020/04/20...-with-the-catholic-church-hes-ex-communioned/ Pray for him.
As expected, Massachusetts has joined the group of states that have cancelled school for the remainder of the year. Most likely they will just pass all students into the next grade. It is a difficult situation for teachers, students, and parents. Online learning has its place, but it can never replace in classroom learning, especially for younger students, and those who need special ed services. I suppose there will be a lot of catching up to do come fall.
Arizona suspended schools for the year several weeks ago. Both of mine go to charter schools so their teachers are sending work through Google classroom so they can finish their year out on time. My son graduates this year from high school. He is bummed because graduation is postponed. They will get their diplomas but they don't get to "walk" . The ceremony has been postponed and many will probably not get to walk because life goes forward and they will have jobs and college. Sad because it is a right of passage. They both miss regular school and their friends. This whole thing is just stupid. I am so over the corona virus.
Finally, some common sense. https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/franklin-county-sheriff-wont-enforce-stay-at-home-order PASCO, Wash. -- Franklin County Sheriff J.D. Raymond says he will not be enforcing Gov. Jay Inslee's "stay at home" orders nor "guidelines that infringe on your constitutional rights." The move comes as Franklin County commissioners voted to ignore Inslee's order, county-wide, according to a Facebook post by county commissioner Clint Didier. It's a move the governor's office stresses is illegal. Raymond opened a two-page letter to his constituents Monday by declaring he does believe COVID-19 is real and "needs to be dealt with appropriately." "I believe that social distancing and taking appropriate and proper steps to slow the spread of the virus and control its transmission is important," Raymond said. But Raymond, who has been sheriff for six years there in the Eastern Washington county that includes part of the Tri-Cities area, also says he believes that adults are "capable of policing" themselves and that as adults "we have the capability of adjusting our habits to these trying times." In introducing the letter, Raymond says his office has been getting several calls and emails wondering where he stood on Inslee's order. The letter also appears to have been triggered in part by a report to the sheriff that a Pasco church who was conducting 'drive-in' church services was told by Gov. Inslee and state attorney general Bob Ferguson in an "intimidating letter" that those services were banned. The attribution to Inslee and Ferguson turned out to be in error, and Raymond posted a retraction letter and apology on Facebook Tuesday morning. MORE| Sheriff Raymond's Original Letter || Subsequent Retraction to Erroneous Inslee/Ferguson Claims But Raymond says he stands by his remarks that local businesses and houses of worship can return while adhering to strict social distancing standards, adding he believes citizens have been "deprived of their right to earn and to live." "This intrudes on our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and neither I not my office will enforce any arrests or fines regarding the operation of privately owned businesses," Raymond said, ending his second letter with "let common sense prevail!" Then on Tuesday, Didier wrote that he and his two fellow commissioners voted unanimously for Franklin County to "end recognition of the Governor's 'Stay at Home Emergency Proclamation(') " deeming it "unconstitutional." On the other hand, officials in Kittitas County, also in Eastern Washington, sent out a press release Tuesday affirming that the county is legally bound to follow Inslee's order and while they can impose stricter restrictions, they "cannot choose to enforce anything less than what the state requires," the release states. "With that, local elected officials whether at the county or city levels do not have statutory authority to change anything within Kittitas County, under the Governor’s direction." “In addition to violating state law," adds Kittitas County Health Officer Dr. Mark Larson, "those choices put those counties, and the people living within them, at a significant risk. The liability the county takes on will directly affect its constituents; specifically, who will be at fault when someone contracts COVID-19 in a situation that directly ignores the Governor’s orders?” Raymond and Didiers' statements of rebellion come as calls mount across the state for Inslee to ease the state's stay-at-home order after a weekend protest drew about 2,500 to Olympia. But Gov. Inslee's office maintains no county or official can just decide to ignore the law. "It clearly violates the Stay Home order - it is illegal and they don't have the authority to do this," a spokesperson for Gov. Inslee told KOMO News. "Only the State Supreme Court can declare something unconstitutional." In response to the weekend protests, Inslee issued a statement Monday reading: “I hear every day from people who want to go back to work, open their businesses and spend time with their friends and family. Most of them are doing what must be done first to accomplish that: They’re staying home. These are difficult and frustrating times. I understand the urgency of this crisis. However, this is not the time to halt the progress we have made. I encourage everyone in our state to stay home, stay healthy and, if you need to go out, practice adequate physical distancing." Inslee did say during a national television interview Sunday that he hopes to get to the next phase of reopening businesses in the next several weeks. “And by the way, this is not a light switch, it’s going to be a dial,” he told ABC’s "This Week." “Where we can help businesses reopen and give them the advice and expertise so that they can do it in a safe way.” The latest models from University of Washington researchers show that if residents continue strict physical distancing, the state may be ready to start lifting restrictions about a month from now. Inslee's stay-home order runs through May 4 and there has been no public indication if it will be extended. As of April 19, Franklin County reported 198 cases of COVID-19 with four deaths.
I feel so bad for all the seniors missing proms, class trips, and traditional graduation ceremonies. They will get past it all, but what a disappointment.
Latest CDC COVID-19 Numbers Make the Doom-and-Gloom Cult Look Like Complete Idiots The CDC recently released coronavirus numbers from February 1, 2020 to April 18, 2020. With each day it is getting harder and harder for these so-called experts to defend their complete destruction of the American economy. Since February there have been 17,229 COVID-19 deaths. Another 7,676 died from COVID-19 and pneumonia. During this same time period 49,013 Americans died from pneumonia. And then there is the age gap. There were 20 deaths under the age of 25. That comes out to 0.1% of all coronavirus deaths. There were 13,518 deaths over 65 years of age. There is no way in hell this justifies the complete destruction of the US economy. When this is all over the good doctors and garbage IHME researchers will have a lot of explaining to do! More from Alex Berenson The most recent age-stratified US #COVID death data, per @CDCgov: 3 deaths under 15, 510 deaths under 45 (approximately 190,000,000 Americans are under 45), 4,900 over 85. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm … https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...ke-doom-gloom-cult-look-like-complete-idiots/
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chin...coronavirusinspired-oil-plunge-153629312.html Brian, This shutdown of crude production is a horrifying indication of the negative impact on the global economy. And as the above clip points out China will take advantage of this by bumping up their crude imports while the price is dirt cheap and the downward trend unfinished. This crisis will continue to be used by the Elitists to solidify their worldwide control. As long as Trump faces an upcoming election, he will not be able to significantly hinder such a power grab. I still feel the general population is unaware of the scope of these ramifications. Lord have Mercy!
He is my governor. And yes, I need to make a point of praying more earnestly for him! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
AG Barr Says He May Go After Governors Who Persist on Authoritarian Coronavirus Lockdown Orders US Attorney General Bill Barr on Tuesday said he may go after Governors who insist on maintaining authoritarian Coronavirus lockdown orders. The DOJ could take legal action against Governors drunk on power and infringing on Constitutional rights, Bill Barr said according to Bloomberg News. Barr said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” that state’s stay-at-home orders are justified up to a point, but the DOJ could target state and local officials by joining lawsuits filed by citizens over the authoritarian restrictions. “We have to give businesses more freedom to operate in a way that’s reasonably safe,” Barr said, according to Bloomberg. “To the extent that governors don’t and impinge on either civil rights or on the national commerce — our common market that we have here — then we’ll have to address that.” “As lawsuits develop, as specific cases emerge in the states, we’ll take a look at them,” he said. “We’re looking carefully at a number of these rules that are being put into place. And if we think one goes too far, we initially try to jawbone the governors into rolling them back or adjusting them. And if they’re not and people bring lawsuits, we file statement of interest and side with the plaintiffs.” Governors such as Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan are drunk on power and losing the consent of the governed. Crazed Democrat Governor Whitmer has banned citizens from driving to their own lake houses for no reason other than ‘because she said so.’ Other state and local officials have threatened pastors who dare to keep their churches open during the shutdown. Protests have erupted across the country because people want to be free and get back to work. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...st-authoritarian-coronavirus-lockdown-orders/
Email Addresses And Passwords From WHO, NIH, Wuhan Lab, And Gates Foundation Dumped On 4chan A cache of nearly 25,000 email addresses and passwords allegedly belonging to the World Health Organization (WHO), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Wuhan Institute of Virology, Bill Gates Foundation and several other groups involved with the coronavirus pandemic response were dumped on 4chan before appearing on several other websites, according to the SITE Intelligence Group. ....................... 4chan users said they were using the credentials to download 'everything' they could. ........................ An unverified photo posted as part of the dump appears to refer to "Splicing HIV" into "coronavirus," fueling speculation that COVID-19 was genetically engineered with HIV spike proteins - a theory posted by Indian researchers soon after the virus's genome was published, and later withdrawn after their findings were refuted. ......... The Gates Foundation told WaPo "We are monitoring the situation in line with our data security practices. We don’t currently have an indication of a data breach at the foundation." If legit, someone named Mararet at the Gates Foundation (last name withheld) is apparently a fan of the dark lord: Australian cybersecurity expert Robert Potter said he was able to verify the WHO information, and that "their password security is appalling." "Forty-eight people have ‘password’ as their password," he said. Others used their own first names or "changeme." Potter said the alleged email addresses and passwords may have been purchased from vendors on the dark Web, a portion of the Internet that is not indexed by most search engines and where hacked information often is posted for sale. He said the WHO credentials appear to have come from a hack in 2016. -Washington Post ......... (w0/2020/060606 is Gates latest patent for a body implanted crypto-currency.
