Judges Rule Against Tyrannical Shutdown Orders in Illinois and Virginia
Clay County Circuit Court Judge Michael McHaney ruled against Pritzker's executive order, granting a restraining order to temporarily block the stay-at-home restrictions set to take effect Friday, according to local reports. "We are certainly going to act in a swift action to have this ruling overturned," Pritzker said in his daily coronavirus press briefing Monday. The ruling comes after Republican State Rep. Darren Bailey of Xenia filed a lawsuit in Clay County Circuit Court claiming Pritzker has exceeded his authority and is violating the civil rights of the state’s residents. Pritzker on Thursday extended his stay-at-home order through May 30 as the highly contagious COVID-19 continued to infect thousands in the state. "Enough is enough!" Bailey said in a statement. "I filed this lawsuit on behalf of myself and my constituents who are ready to go back to work and resume a normal life."A judge has also halted Governor Blackface's unconstitutional order to shut down gun ranges:
A circuit court judge in Lynchburg, Virginia has overturned a portion of Gov. Ralph Northam’s executive order that declared indoor gun ranges “places of amusement” that are non-essential and must shut down during his state of emergency. Judge F. Patrick Yeatts declared in an order on Monday that Northam's actions are likely to have exceeded his constitutional authority, and declared that the portion of the governor’s executive order on essential businesses that deals with indoor ranges not be enforced while the litigation continues. Yeatts noted in his decision that the Virginia state constitution declares that “the body of the people, trained to arms is the proper, natural safe defense of a free state.” Since that is the case, clearly the right to bear arms includes the right to train with them. Since gun ranges provide a place where that training can take place, they are protected under the right to keep and bear arms.Meanwhile, the elites fret about "quarantine fatigue" as the peasants begin ignoring unjust laws and petty tyrannies.
Researchers tracking smartphone data say they recently made a disturbing discovery: For the first time since states began implementing stay-at-home orders in mid-March to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, Americans are staying home less. The nationwide shift during the week of April 13 was relatively slight. However, any loss of momentum, particularly when stay-in-place orders remain in effect across most of the country, has some public health experts worried about "quarantine fatigue." Any increase in travel, they say, is premature when staying home remains the most effective way to limit the spread of the virus until widespread testing and contact tracing become available.The daily press conference was supposed to start at 5pm.
"We saw something we hoped wasn't happening, but it's there," said Lei Zhang, lead researcher and director of the Maryland Transportation Institute at the University of Maryland. "It seems collectively we're getting a little tired. It looks like people are loosening up on their own to travel more."

I don't expect to go to jail-really-but the newspeole might interview me if they see my collar. I will not give my last name or my church because I will not be there in my official capacity as the pastor of the church which I serve. They didn't send me. They don't know I'm going although most of them I've talked to against this lockdown..

how do they know this? I don't think having the entire well population under house arrest is working well, at all.
seems like the vulnerable population was still vulnerable, and in fact died scared and alone, instead of being cared for by their family members, due to the lockdowns.
we've been forcibly separated from each other, which WEAKENS us, not only physically (harms immunity to be shut indoors and sedentary) but emotionally and mentally (can't commiserate with each other or connect or talk even).
this whole thing stinks to high heaven. the lockdowns were a drastic, terrible method. I don't even think they WORKED - at least not for viral mitigation. I guess they worked as a psy op.

Emmie, found this at US News & World Report:
"According to Inslee's office, members of the pact must agree to three shared principles, which include putting residents' health first, using health outcomes and science to guide decisions, and working with local communities to see what's happening on the ground in their states.
The pact has four goals: protecting vulnerable populations, ensuring an ability to care for those who may become infected, mitigating non-direct COVID-19 health impacts (especially on disadvantaged communities), and ensuring a lifting of any rules includes the development of a system for testing, tracking and isolating."

My state and city are back open as of today. IF there's a massive upsurge in cases, they'll lock it back down, but I don't expect that to happen.

Other than a very few places (NY/NJ) the hospital system was never overwhelmed, nor was it in any danger of being overwhelmed.
It is my understanding that neither NY nor NJ has needed the additional bed capacity built for Covid. Specifically, Javits and Comfort never got more than a handful of cases. They were still wise to build that capacity, and I'm thrilled it wasn't needed.

A documentary portrait of Michelle Obama titled "Becoming" will premiere on Netflix next week, the streaming company announced Monday.
The film, described as "an intimate look into the life of former first lady Michelle Obama" chronicles her 34-city book tour in 2018-2019 for her best-selling memoir "Becoming." Obama's promotional tour, managed by the concert promoter Live Nation, had the scale of a rock tour, with a string of dates at sold-out arenas.

That's pretty much the entire thing in a nutshell.
People (people named Fauci) need to be fired and NEVER spoken to again. (I would prefer execution for treason, but I'm a jerk.)
"Experts." Fuck the experts.
Most importantly, people need to learn about "government doctors" - you know: those people who get the podium when there's a national medical emergency; those dumb fucks who approve health textbooks for middle schools, make it "official" that "fat is bad for you," and invent things like "the food pyramid."
These are NOT the best and the brightest. They are merely those who learned how to play the game. Brown-nosers. Ladder-climbers. Political minions.
And because they were so far at the back of the pack, they are reveling in their power over the doctors who zoomed past them.

That's true, but it's a qualified sort of truth. A lot of people with non-COVID respiratory problems that would have ended up in the ICU in January were discharged to their homes so beds could would be available for COVID patients. I think they would have run out of ICU beds (but not vents) if they hadn't changed procedures.

The quarantine (I know it's not a quarantine but bear with me) powers of the state are great but those powers are subject to strict scrutiny. Which means, at least in theory, that the restrictions must be the least onerous restrictions possible.
As the curve flattens, the restrictions are increasing.

I'm fairly confident that Blue State Guvnor has never, ever bothered to even do a cursory read of the US Constitution, nor the Washington State Constitution.
Because if he did, and even some of it registered in his mind, he wouldn't be doing what he is doing to his bosses, Washington state citizens.
Or, the other alternative is that he did, and is just a Chinese communist government sympathizer.

I don't mind seeing the government try to address quarantine related costs. But I don't see why people in Florida should have to pay for Illinois's decades long criminal stewardship of its pension system. Or for the spendthrifty ways of the legislature in CA where I live.
Let me say this, based on my own hard experience as a resident: If the rest of the country directs a river of cash to California the legislature here will take that as a signal they've been doing the right thing all these years and should continue on an even grander scale. If allowed, they will bankrupt the entire country.

Generally, testing that's not diagnostic is part of a containment strategy - as is tracing.
We're from 5 to 7 months into the epidemic, apparently.
Containment ain't in the picture at this stage of an epidemic - unless it is, unlike this one, truly apocalyptic in terms of case or infection fatality rates.

Hey LCD, he could just read the statutes on the books in his state...that would be a start.
For example, Andrew Cuomo has no right, none in statute much less in the US Constitution, to decide what is an essential business in his own mind and what is not, not during an emergency - not fucking ever. Those powers are statutorially set - because they have been tested by the New York State Constitution and by the US Constitution...and you can google the good governors' actual emergency powers which are all about roads, and marine accesses, and the national guard, etc - but not one fucking thing about essential operating businesses or limiting anyone's movement other than in "hostile" designated areas of NG operations"...so fuck him.

So I find it implausible that a comparatively small number of additional fatalities would overwhelm the system?

Rush covered it quite well. News reports of people "standing in lines" at hospitals... until citizen journalists went to those same hospitals and found nothing at all going on.
They can't be simultaneously "overwhelmed" and laying off staff. That's absurd.
And then the fucking doctors make lip-synching videos for social media and want to be called "heroes."
Fuck those quacks.

No problem with testing in general, of course diagnostic, and given the amazing instant innovation that has produced quick tests. It will be useful in dealing with the psychological issues (fear) for employers, institutions, group events, etc.
But making "re-opening" contingent on an arbitrary level of testing is not linked to any medical or epidemiological science, unless this virus is much deadlier, and much better understood, than appears to be the case.

But, in all my wanderings to stores and other places, nobody has batted an eye. It's confusing, to be honest.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer wants 28-day extension of emergency powers
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Monday she plans to ask the state Legislature to extend her emergency declaration for 28 more days.
"It really should be longer than that, but 28 days is another important step," she said.
"Just in the last few years, the Flint water emergency was extended twice over 122 days. The Fraser sinkhole [in Macomb County], I think that was extended 56 days," she said. "We've only extended, in a global pandemic, a state of emergency by 23 days."
The emergency declaration allows Whitmer to issue executive orders such as her stay-at-home order mandating residents stay inside unless absolutely necessary, the order closing K-12 schools, and the order barring evictions for the duration of the emergency.

Check the data on Rt-live. The RsubT was declining in every state prior to lockdowns and there was no increase in rate of decrease after.
Also, all RsubT are converging asymptotically on 1. Which is probably an artefact of the lockdown as well.

It is a fakeout. It is like a Japanese inspection. You send over a shipment of lettuce and they decide to inspect it, next month.
None of this is real life. Some years 32% get flu vaccine. That is only 33% effective. It is a big game to fuck with you just like you fucked the deep state when you voted for PDT.
If you just admit to yourself that this is the Big Govt screwing you over you may actually feel better. It is very very hard to accept but it is the truth.
Half Whit, Pelosi, AoC, and the lot would not care if you were cut up and turn into soylent green. Their agenda is a wonderful State much like Cuba or Venezuela.
Here is the US is it hard to tell the elite from the common as we all run are cars wide fucking open, run the AC at 70 if we want, eat steaks that would choke a T rex.
That is not a civil society. Watch that PBS show about semi royalty in 19XX. All liberal were wetting their panties over that show. It was ruling class upstairs and servant class downstairs.
Mcstain, Mittens, the Bushes, and CoC felt the same way. So a little church fails. Maybe we can put a small housing project.

Which makes sense. However, the tracing they want is more proactive: they track your location an everyone with whom you are in close proximity, store it for ??? and then later, if someone gets Wuhan flu they check contacts.
I guess years on seeing privacy eroded thanks to tech has made me wary -- especially when it's in partnership with the state (and especially with newbie tyrants such as Whitmer).

That's pretty much the entire thing in a nutshell.
People (people named Fauci) need to be fired and NEVER spoken to again. (I would prefer execution for treason, but I'm a jerk.)
"Experts." Fuck the experts.
Most importantly, people need to learn about "government doctors" - you know: those people who get the podium when there's a national medical emergency; those dumb fucks who approve health textbooks for middle schools, make it "official" that "fat is bad for you," and invent things like "the food pyramid."
These are NOT the best and the brightest. They are merely those who learned how to play the game. Brown-nosers. Ladder-climbers. Political minions.
And because they were so far at the back of the pack, they are reveling in their power over the doctors who zoomed past them.

Which makes sense. However, the tracing they want is more proactive: they track your location an everyone with whom you are in close proximity, store it for ??? and then later, if someone gets Wuhan flu they check contacts.

We already do contract tracing for some reportable diseases. If you get syphilis, or tuberculosis, or rabies, or a dozen other diseases most people never see, the county and/or state health authorities are going to want to figure out where you got it and who you may have given it to.
______________
Yeah, but you don't typically get rabies or syphillis from touching a contaminated surface. The WuFlu virus can reportedly live on surfaces for some time, and we don't know how many people are getting infected from touching a contaminated surface and then touching their mouth or eyes or whatever.
If Infected Person #8765984 got his infection from touching some contaminated subway escalator handrail and then scratching his eye (and then a week later sneezed and coughed all over the bus on his way to work), then tracing his contacts will be a waste of time.

This entire shutdown was massively overblown. Early on, we only knew this virus was contagious. But what drove the uncertainty was the U of W and John Hopkins models (and others) of infection.
These models have proven to be horribly false and misleading. Yet, those Blue State Guvnors still are using this false data as their primary input to make shutdown decisions.
Because perhaps in the first few weeks it was about health of citizens, but now it is obvious this has changed in Blue states to an active effort to kill American commerce.

But if something is not apocalyptically deadly - and this bug looks fairly "normal" outside select demographics - the kind of testing, and connection between testing and life (you've got to be "negative" to function normally) that seems to be the approach by some makes no sense.

We had a tele-med visit weeks ago in which he prescribed Z-Pack, which did nothing.
So, I finally got an in-office visit today.
This Corona virus crap has basically shut down our entire health system.
He can no longer test me for other virals.. and he has no tests for Corona..
He told me this could very well be COVID-19 even given the mild symptoms.. swollen lymph nodes and bowel problems, but no fever. But there are no tests available.
WTF? What is so hard about ramping up the availability of these tests???
So.. he referred me to an ENT. Who I promptly called and was told they are not seeing patients in office until June.
We are shut down medically.. how many people will die of serious ailments for want of a diagnosis/treatment?

Although, since it doesn't delete instantaneously because the comments table has to be rebuilt, it's possible to have his posts replaced with hilarious garbage from the MUMR-replace script.

Posted by: Guy who looks at the data at April 27, 2020 06:24 PM (Tnijr)
I used to work at a large mobile phone company. Believe me, the whole burner thing just gives you a false sense of security. Your phone habits are like a fingerprint, and I worked on a system that would match those fingerprints to particular people we had on file.
In our case the goal was to find people using someone else's documents to open an account and not pay. Back when service was more expensive we used to get a lot of that - people would open a new account under someone else's name, not pay, and then open the next new account when we shut them off for nonpayment. Eventually we had fraud investigators onto repeat offenders in about 24 hours.
But I know for a fact the government is doing the same thing - I remember reading an article about a drug bust where the gang had burner phones, and it took the DEA only a day or two to match phones with identities.

Two reasons: One, if there's a huge surge of cases when things get moving again they want to know before it's too late to do anything.
Two, they still don't have enough information to pin down the mortality rate on this thing within an order of magnitude. That's important information when you're trying to decide how far you're willing to go to keep people from being infected.

I go to an Albertsons here in AZ, and although they put up those stupid clear plastic spit guards in front of the cashiers, most of the customers in the stores (including me) are still not wearing masks. Until about a week ago, most of the employees were not wearing masks either, but when I went in a couple of days ago, they were all wearing them, so I suspect that they were ordered to.
Meanwhile, we have 275 WuFlu deaths in a state with a population of @ 7.5 million, so a death rate of a whopping .00366, almost all of them old people. Hospitals here have plenty of capacity, only about 20% of our available ventilators are being used, and 2/3 of our ER beds are empty (all according to the state dept. of health). And temps in the desert regions are now in the high 90's or triple digits, so more than hot enough to kill the virus outside.

I have it on very good authority that this technology has been implemented for well over a decade.
The proper use of a burner phone is to keep it off/no-battery until it is needed for outgoing call - whatever you do don't use it in your regular stops. Need to make a call, be a few blocks away from your immediate AO.
part of the reason to keep it off is so that it doesn't overlap and create a fingerprint, the other major reason is that mature systems that track phones that were proximate are in place. So that person who is under watch and your phone is proximate to them? You just earned yourself an electronic tail.
That is how certain agencies build up networks.

You mean this scrunt? The one who's talking about *another* extension, this one for 28 more days through the middle of June.
Whitmer has argued she doesn't need the Legislature to approve the extension of her powers: There are two laws that give her the ability to declare an emergency.
Only one requires Legislative oversight, but that law protects healthcare workers from any legal liability they may face for services performed at the state's request.
"I have multiple distinct independent authorities of constitutional and statutory power to keep people safe as the governor of Michigan," Whitmer said Monday.

It seems like many authoritarian types and clueless over-paid public employees are seeking "containment" of America's return to freedom and prosperity, not containment of a bad virus. Testing has great value, but it should *not* be a benchmark for current, general public policies long after widespread infection has occurred.

I haven't seen a single bottle of bleach in any store I've been in for the last 6 weeks. That has to be at least a dozen times, and the latest one was 3 days ago.
Once, I saw a bottle of ammonia. Once.

I saw a pallet of gallons of bleach at the local supermarket yesterday. 1.99 each. Didn't look like a mad rush to buy them either. Must be a local supply chain thing.

It would have been far more justifiable in 1918, since the Spanish flu killed millions of healthy young people.
Wilson downplayed it because Making the World Safe for Democracy was his priority. He never even publicly mentioned the flu. I consider that one reason why Wilson might just be the worst president ever (yeah, even worse than Obama and FDR).

12% = 444,000 dead.

Depends. As I understand it, unless it mutates pretty drastically there will now be a threshold for immunity, particularly as mild cases with low load continue through the summer somewhat. With the lockdown, with any luck any affected people adjacent to a "supernode" person in contact with dozens upon dozens or hundreds will have failed to propagate along that person's connections and make for as-rapid spread. And a lot of those supernode people will have had it.
Not really that different than forest fire. Seasonal risk, but burnout has its effects.
Posted by: Sporkatus at April 27, 2020 06:57 PM (CGB5H)
I have it on very good authority that this technology has been implemented for well over a decade.
The proper use of a burner phone is to keep it off/no-battery until it is needed for outgoing call - whatever you do don't use it in your regular stops. Need to make a call, be a few blocks away from your immediate AO.
part of the reason to keep it off is so that it doesn't overlap and create a fingerprint, the other major reason is that mature systems that track phones that were proximate are in place. So that person who is under watch and your phone is proximate to them? You just earned yourself an electronic tail.
That is how certain agencies build up networks.
Posted by: �� at April 27, 2020 06:45 PM (C+evo)
Whenever you call someone the call metadata (your EID, the other person's EID, where you are, how long the call lasted, etc) goes into a database that they can use to ferret out your social network. That is, if Alice calls Bob, and Bob calls Charlie, Alice and Charlie get associated. That's enough to throw up a flag when Alice calls Charlie even if it's the first call. The math gets a little hairy, but social networks are pretty stable, and just moving around will not save you. Even if you all get burner phones our software could match you to previous accounts pretty quickly.
If you really want to stay out of the all seeing eye's gaze, the right way to use a burner is to make one call and then get rid of it. It's probably too expensive for anyone but actual drug dealers.

Yeah, I forgot to mention - don't call your usual clients with the phone.
Also, a phone that comes on-line long enough to make a call then goes dark tends to attract a lot of attention.
Though unless you are a drug kingpin or otherwise are a threat to the State, law enforcement has no time.
One of the interesting side effects of open borders and very lax security policy - there are far more people in this country who are more dangerous than you - more than can be given serious attention.

If you don't call the people you need to call, you're not going to find your phone very useful. And yeah, while we at the phone company didn't care if you made one call and then went dark, it's probably something the DEA looks for. They're still going to have a hell of a time proving it's you, though they can probably tap your call if the person on the other end of the call isn't also using a one time burner.
The scary thing for criminals is a stinger. They can record every call in your neighborhood if they really want to and can get a judge to sign off.

I think part of the reason is they need to be able to justify the shutdowns and the only way they can do that is to keep testing until they get to, I don't know, millions and millions of cases. And they have to get to at least 60,000 deaths because that's what their model says.

mortality rate on this thing within an order of magnitude. That's
important information when you're trying to decide how far you're
willing to go to keep people from being infected.,["Ace's Liver"]
Nonsense on stilts. There is never a "huge surge" of cold viruses in the summer.
They DO HAVE THE INFORMATION to pin down the mortality rate as LESS THAN FLU. Under that, "orders of magnitude" are utterly insignificant. Is it 0.1 or 0.01 percent? is an "order of magnitude" difference.
