According to the second lady, Pence was apparently unaware of the Mayo Clinic’s policy requiring all visitors to wear face masks. “As our medical experts have told us, wearing a mask prevents you from spreading disease. And knowing he doesn’t have COVID-19, he didn’t wear one,” she said. “It was actually after he left Mayo Clinic that he found out that they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask.” A report from CNN disputed that claim, stating that Pence’s team was briefed by the clinic days before his scheduled visit.

The second lady’s comments come as Pence receives immense backlash for his decision not to wear a face mask, especially since he has spearheaded the coronavirus task force at the White House. In a now-deleted tweet, the Mayo Clinic said it had informed the Vice President of its masking policy before his arrival. The policy, issued April 13 states that all patients and visitors are required to wear a face covering or mask, per recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).



[B][B][B]After looking at the picture I'm going to side with the MAYO CLINIC on this one , pretty sure people there know how to wear a freaking mask.[/B][/B][/B]

All this is dumb and wasted energy. Like it or not states are easing restrictions...red or blue it’s happening everywhere and a one size doesn’t fit all. The politicization of this is weak, whether it’s these idiots with guns or New York Times editorial board hoping And praying for red states Trump voters to get the virus and spread because those chose to open or not close at their own pace.

Governors are looking at state budgets and business operations...they are wincing. Virginia today opened all hospitals, vets, and dentist for elective surgery and appointments...he just announced this Monday. This is less 2 weeks after he said otherwise, and with no criticism ...WHY? Because the situation is fluid and the impact of health care facilities across the state haven’t been significantly impacted at all. One size Doesn’t fit all is 1000% correct by the President.

Who in their right mind would treat Upstate NY like NYC? We need to be smart and autonomy works be best.

I think the guns are part of the symbolism of the type people protesting. Long guns are great, especially the so called assault rifles. They will probably carry me through this pandemic and when Biden gets elected things will really be great. About 50%+ of my machine shop business goes to making parts for people catering to hobbies. I think a change in people's spending habits are going to hurt that sector real bad. 25% or so is medical, that will stay steady and is bullet proof. Gun related items were about 25% as a year in year out average over the last dozen years.

The thing that drives gun related sales is usually good ole panic buying, which we now have, as people want to stock up on guns and ammo to protect their supply of toilet paper. After that when Biden gets elected the fear of an assault rifle ban will create excessive buying of those and related accessories.

I have one gun related customer who has gone crazy sending me orders in the last two months. I manufacture parts used in gunsmithing kits to work on AK-47s among other things. In a lengthy discussion on how keep him at minimum supply on all items the subject of politics related to guns came up.
I have done business with this guy for well over a dozen years and I was shocked that it never dawned on him that a Democrat in office is the best thing for his bank account, due to the fear of "They are going to take our guns away." After some thought he did realize his business took a big down turn when Trump was elected.

By BB logic I would think it would increase business because the fear of the guns being taken away much like having JFK in office.

JFK and mass shootings equal big gun business.

Pretty sure there is a whole class at Wharton on it.

WH blocking Fauci testimony to House panel, spokesman says



[url]https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-blocking-fauci-testimony-221114346.html[/url]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokesman for a key House panel said Friday that the White House has blocked Dr. Anthony Fauci from testifying next week at a hearing on the coronavirus outbreak.

House Appropriations Committee spokesman Evan Hollander said the panel sought Fauci — the highly respected director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — as a witness for a subcommittee hearing on the government’s response to the pandemic, but was denied. Hollander said the panel was informed by an administration official that Fauci’s testimony was blocked by the White House.

Fauci is the top scientist on President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force and is no stranger to testifying before Congress. He has sometimes contradicted Trump’s optimistic misstatements about the virus and how much it is under control after claiming more than 64,000 lives in the U.S.

Fauci has warned against relaxing social distancing rules that have helped slow the spread of the virus but caused a major hit to the economy. That has earned him criticism from some of Trump's most ardent supporters, and Trump himself has retweeted a supporter who called for Fauci's firing.

Re: Coronavirus (political)
 

Fauci blocked testimony — I think he should be spending his time working on the Coronavirus and not answering political questions at this time. I would hope when this is all done he testifies not for answering to past political gotchas but what our country should do in the present and future to be better prepared.

We will have more deadly viruses in the future, we must learn our lesson from this. Thank god the Coronavirus is not more lethal.

Now, during the second round of taxpayer aid, the SBA is refusing to reveal payment information, Rubio said in a video message he posted on Twitter.

“The last 48 hours have been very troubling,” he said. “In the last 48 hours, we have not been able to get anybody at SBA to provide us any information about round two — about how much money is left, about who’s getting it, about the application process. The SBA, for whatever reason, has decided to lock down and not share that information with us,” he added.

Rubio promised to get to the bottom of the program run by a Republican administration and passed by GOP lawmakers, an irony not missed by Twitter critics. Walter Shaub, former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, also pointed out that Rubio and his fellow GOP senators have “taught Trump” that the president can ignore congressional oversight.

President Donald Trump has upended the panel of federal watchdogs overseeing implementation of the $2 trillion coronavirus law, tapping a replacement for the Pentagon official who was supposed to lead the effort.

A panel of inspectors general had named Glenn Fine — the acting Pentagon watchdog — to lead the group charged with monitoring the coronavirus relief effort. But Trump on Monday removed Fine from his post, instead naming the EPA inspector general to serve as the temporary Pentagon watchdog in addition to his other responsibilities.

If you don’t understand why, then I can’t help you. When kimmel criticizes a large group of folks who can’t work, can’t pay rent or feed family...it’s something he doesn’t care about and can’t relate too. U know its fine to make fun of trump, policy, etc, theres a lot there.

U need to review Ricky Gervais when he fuckin nailed it, these people’s opinions don’t matter, they are the epitome of hypocritical trash:

Trump defends the US's bungled coronavirus response by claiming Fauci told him 'it's not gonna be a big deal'


President Donald Trump said at a Fox News town hall on Sunday night that "everybody," including leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, previously downplayed the severity of the virus.

In response to a question about why he did not act sooner to prepare for a COVID-19 outbreak in the US, Trump said Fauci "was saying it's gonna pass, not gonna be a big deal."

While Fauci has been warning the Trump administration about an infectious disease outbreak since 2017, he said in January that the novel coronavirus was not something Americans should be worried about "right now.

At most I watch the local news a couple times a week and never watch the broadcast national news. I get most my news oFf the MSN front page where I access personal e-mail and weather. I am wandering are those media outlets educating people about the proper use of using masks and or gloves? Like I said from what I see most people might as well not wear one. I find it strange the false sense of security it must give people that aren't using them properly.

Re: Coronavirus (political)
 

The far right will say, and correctly here, that this lady's sign is comparing a Dem to being a Nazi with the stay at home orders. Not that the sign endorses or promotes nazis. A poor choice imo but hey.

They cant really say that with a straight face for these people though, they are just straight up scared/overly sensitive/image confused racist people with no real identity or character, so they tie themselves to some nazi movement to define them because they lack their own individual definition ..

Theres a big difference between the lady with a 'Heil Pritzker" or a "Heil trump" homemade sign

vs

Guy who bought and owns a Nazi flag or does the hitler salute.

The home made signs are dumb imo and dumb satire but I do not view the lady with the "Heil Pritzker" sign as her being a nazi. ** Pritzker is the gov of Ill and not some german word ***

I view the guy with the nazi flag or doing the nazi salute as being a nazi.

The distinction should be clear to most people.

You honestly and truly dont see the distinction and difference?

Security guard, father of 9, shot and killed in Michigan after telling customer to put on face mask

Officials said Sharmel Teague and her daughter went to the Family Dollar in Flint, Michigan, Friday afternoon. Security footage showed Munerlyn and Teague got into a verbal altercation after he told the woman that her daughter needed a face mask to enter the store. Teague began to yell and spit at Munerlyn, who asked her to leave the store and instructed a cashier not to serve her.

Under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive order, everyone must wear a mask in all enclosed public spaces to halt the spread of COVID-19. If customers refuse to comply, businesses can turn them away.

The security footage shows the two driving off in a red GMC Envoy.

The same vehicle returned about 20 minutes later at 2:15 p.m. Two suspects, Larry Teague, Sharmel Teague's husband, and Ramonyea Bishop, her son, entered the store. Larry Teague confronted the security guard about disrespecting his wife and Bishop fatally shot him in the back of the head, Leyton said. The two men then left the store.

Munerlyn, 43, was transported to Hurley Medical Center, where he later was pronounced dead.

What SS is trying to do is trying to excuse one side versus the others...you have to think objectively and not be tribal about it.
