Interesting idea.  Almost like food stamps, but just for a city's brick and mortars.

No such thing. I was drinking Stone's Enter Night pilsner last night. AS far as bourbon, I bought a bottle of the Old Forester 1910 and it is really good. 

Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale.  Ale made from the nectar of bourbon barrels.

I can't wait for the surge of new cases in 3 weeks, and de Blasio blaming Trump and opening restaurants up.

Maybe he’ll paint another mural in the street.

I want that feminine voice saying, "Excuse me....excuse me, sir. What's your cause?" to be my ringtone. I want people to be woke when my phone rings.

I want to hear* the libs’ response to this. 

Did you even open the article? It’s foxnews 
 

“The exception came as New York’s rate of infections has remained consistent through the civil unrest over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.

A late-June study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found no evidence that coronavirus cases jumped in 315 cities in the weeks after the first protests.“

Now China wants to blame Kazakhstan of festering an unknown virus.

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3092563/chinese-embassy-warns-deadly-unknown-pneumonia-kazakhstan

The Chinese embassy in Kazakhstan has warned of a deadly “unknown pneumonia” after the former Soviet republic reported a spike in pneumonia cases since June. “The death rate of this disease is much higher than the novel coronavirus. The country’s health departments are conducting comparative research into the pneumonia virus, but have yet to identify the virus,” the embassy said in a warning to Chinese citizens in the country.

so the number of positive cases may go down while the number of crimes will go up. solid plan.

Who are the "medically vulnerable"? I mean just because Grampa McRapey has asthma don't mean he ain't gonna rape again.

Also, while I wouldn't be terribly opposed to minor drug offenders being let out, the issue is that the prison system has turned them into hardened criminals. So they go in for selling some pot, get "integrated", and come out all rapey and burglary-y and possibly murdery. Not a good solution.

So Orange County is reporting 1,200 positives a day now. Experts claim for every positive, there are 10 to 12 more that never get tested. If that is accurate, it means 12,000 to 14,000 positives a day, or 360,00-400,000 a month. In a county of 3,000,000, that means that at this pace, we hit 70% infected by Christmas. Isn’t that herd immunity? Other than the fact that some of these numbers assumptions may be wrong, what am I missing?

That sounds like it would be an absolutely unsustainable disaster. Also, that won't happen.

I'm shocked they found it necessary to cover up a mere flu, but otherwise no. China is bad news.
