Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, let's put this in the hands of thousands of school administrators across the country that don't have any experience in epidemiology or public health. The same people who expels kids for making a gun out of their fingers or for taking a Tylenol without a prescription because of zero tolerance policies that totally takes away any judgment during decision making. Yeah, let's put them in charge of this. Great idea, Rand.
And LOL at the part about wrong predictions. Like it's one person coming in from China. It will be down to zero soon. Totally under control. It will go away like a miracle. It will go away in April with the heat. Those types of wrong predictions, Rand?
They may as well. They've put it in the hands of retailers and restaurant owners that don't know a damn thing about epidemiology either. We're pretty much on our own with all of this. Personally I'm a coalminer watching the canary in the mine at the moment... I'd love to be wrong, but just about everyone with any knowledge on the subject that doesn't have a dog in the political fight thinks that "reopening" too soon is a bad idea.
Whatever happened to those phases anyway?
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Rand Paul, who hasn't had board certification since 2005, claimed that where he lives it's not bad. Except his county has had more cases per capita than 75% of New England counties.
With regards to his comments, I would give superintendents far more credit than dismissing them as people who expel kids for finger guns, but yea he's wrong. While I would trust a good superintendent with a history of working in education to make the right decision, the decision needs to come from the governor and state superintendent working together. I do not want local board of eds, where some real dummies can get elected to them, helping to make those decisions.

In Georgia, every school gets to come up with their own concussion return to play policy. The lack of uniformity is shocking and really isn't in the best interest of the student. As a provider, I don't know what their school policy is. They usually don't know, either. I don't have the time research every school district's policy. Plus, some schools require clearance from a neurologist or sports medicine specialist. So the parent may have just paid for a doctor's visit, but they came to the wrong doctor which always pisses them off.
Viruses don't recognize the borders of school districts so there shouldn't be thousands of different policies when there is a clear need for uniform recommendations that can be implemented at the appropriate level. But, Rand Paul has never been one for common sense.

So stupid. I like that Maryland uses county jurisdictions rather than city. Technically, each of those county boards is then an entity of that state. It’s a good, quasi-federalist system and it ensures the important decisions are only made by the state in a uniform fashion.
McConnell, speaking on the Team Trump live stream hosted by Lara Trump (who gets like a triple figure salary from the campaign to do that), falsely claimed that there was no pandemic playbook left by the Obama admin.
The 69 page (laugh it up pervs) playbook was released online in March by Politico.
Former RNC chair and MD Lt Gov Michael Steele responds to McConnell calling Obama "classless" and telling Obama to "keep his mouth shut"
I'm sure Mitch is aware that a grown ass black man who happens to be a former president has agency to speak his mind on how his successor is managing this crisis, especially since his successor has yet to keep "his mouth shut" about him. And "classless"?https://t.co/kx6yyH8n4k

Mitch McConnell just says stuff because he knows people won't hold him accountable. He used to walk out of interviews with my office that his people set up. If you asked a question and caught him in a lie, he'd just leave.
Of course, he was friends with my board so I had to give him an interview when his field rep called

I read that yesterday. There is so much nonstop, incessant, pervasive lying you just go nose blind to all the BS.
Quote:Politico reported in March that the Obama National Security Council left its successors a document titled “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.” It warned of potential problems like shortages in personal protective equipment that have plagued the nation’s response. The Trump administration neglected to implement its recommendations.
“We literally left them a 69-page Pandemic Playbook.... that they ignored,” tweeted Ron Klain, who oversaw the Ebola response under Obama and now advises presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “And an office called the Pandemic Preparedness Office... that they abolished. And a global monitoring system called PREDICT .. that they cut by 75%.”
“The maddening thing is Obama left them a WH office for pandemics, a literal playbook, a cabinet-level exercise, and a global infrastructure to deal with ‘something like this,’” tweeted former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes.
Maybe if there was someone in Kentucky with an online dictionary they could tell Mitch the definition of "playbook"?

Another example of how strange our politics has become. Trump has been breaking the No-speak rule spectacularly in virtually every one of his rallies, not to mention in tweets and Fox interviews.
Obama says something on a closed line--an accurate diagnosis/description at that--and he's suddenly "classless."
The Trump context/comparison is automatically framed out of McConnell's judgement, as if no president, including Trump, had ever criticized a predecessor, and now WHADDAYAEXPECT Obama is showing everyone how low he really is.
Also framed out is that Trump crazy accusations have remained unfounded, while Obama's critique needs to be urgently considered in a time of crisis.
The MSM will point out the irony and illogic, but McConnell's target audience doesn't read fake news.
And suddenly we have another example of liberal hypocrisy--always complaining about Trump while IGNORING WHAT OBAMA DID.
I would trust the guy who’s one of our nation's top public health experts, not the one who pondered injecting disinfectant into the body and looked directly at a solar eclipse. https://t.co/nMJz1nogpW

Yeah, Cadet “Assmar”? Well, Trump also suggested hitting the body with a powerful light. Staring into a solar eclipse not only made Trump immune to the coronavirus, but it cured his windmill noise cancer, too. WHERE’S HIS FREAKIN’ “NOBLE” PRIZE? I’m no doctor, but I did listen to a Trump press conference once and I’m asking, what have you got to lose?

Hey, Mitch, how classy was it of Trump to lie and blame Obama for a lack of coronavirus tests for a new virus that didn't exist over three years ago when he left office?
Quote:"I don't know the so-called Whistleblower Rick Bright, never met him or even heard of him," Trump tweeted Thursday morning.
"But to me he is a disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by people I spoke to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our government!" Trump said.
If you spoke to people (plural) about this guy then you damn sure heard about him.
Jesus Christ.

I listened to some of the hearing at work today...holy crap.
Most of the GOP time was taken reading statements about how great Trump and his response to the virus was, some was dedicated to finding out if Bright was on vacation or sick leave and the rest to finding out what was in the folder his lawyer had.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
I get the idea against the normal, sold-out (or practically full) stadiums, but, my question is, why not have limited capacity? Groups that live together (so they would't be exposed to anything new anyways) in small groups sitting at the end of each row so they don't have to step over anyone?
I'm sure that people would have to sign a waiver just so they can't contract the virus before or after and then sue the team claiming that they got it in the stadium, but is that a possibility?
It wouldn't be too many people, and I'm sure they'd probably still use simulated crowd noise, but wouldn't that be a good way to at least keep some revenue coming in and keep fans involved?
How about no restrictions? If you want to come out, then come out to watch the game. If you feel there is a risk that you don't want to take, stay home.
