Ummm, Jason? How ya doing this morning? By the way, thank you for providing the link to the article. I read it. Now it's your turn. In case you don't,  I'll give you a TLDR (past literally the first sentence): they're going to be doing this every single day. That's actually in the second sentence of the article. Seriously. 

Idk but Chuck will blow you to keep watching Hannity.

Some heroes don't wear capes, they drive cars on the freeway, and sit at the beach.

Considering the post count of some I don't think that's much of a difference from before the lockdown started. 

I don't see lefties protesting or saying "OPEN IT UP!" anywhere. Pretty sure we understand the severity. 
Nice effort to Both Sides this, though.

Do people really think a city by city approach to a pandemic is workable in Southern California ?  Jesus Christ. 

That's exactly what he is doing. But you call it "kissing his ring." He spoke with San Clemente, and Laguna Beach, and they came together with a plan to open their beaches. Maybe the mayor of Newport Beach should have reached out to the state's governor, and came up with a plan. Instead he spent his time writing an op-ed, and going on Tucker Carlson to bitch. Sounds more to me like he is doing it for "political gains."

Nobody is ever going to answer that because there is no answer that’s not some retarded conspiracy theory in the same vein as the FEMA concentration camps.  It’s fucking stupid.  

This is what happens when the mayors of those cities act like adults, and work with a governor,  rather than go on Tucker Carlson, to bitch, and make baseless claims.

yeah, it had nothing to do with prop 187 and the Republican party moving further and further to the right as the state was moving to the left

Everyone take a moment and recall that Floplag confirmed with his own eyes that illegal Mexicans were throwing California’s elections.  This is unassailable truth. 

I think it's excellent you didn't quote what you were responding to so now everyone can wonder whose butthole you're wondering about

The challenge with the travel ban on China wasn’t the ban itself, but that it was done in isolation and without follow up. 
 
the virus was already here and spreading. Loopholes existed and people being allowed from China weren’t being screened and there was no contact tracing. The China ban was like a pitchout when you’re down by 10 in the 8th inning. The Europe ban was done even worse, how many people caught the virus stuck in the airport trying to get through passport control. And no screening of people as well. 
 
But the biggest issue was we didn’t start to really mobilize, we treated the virus like Pence does the gays...try and pray it away. We still have no national testing strategy or economic mobilization plans, states are forced to develop their own compacts and go it alone. It is literally right there in the constitution...provide for the common defense and we have failed at so many levels. 
 
you know why the China ban was a waste of time...because Trump can literally point to nothing else they did to get ahead of this and prepare the country that has been hit the hardest in the entire world. 
 
 

No you’re right, I was just saying that in general. Identifying these things and then restricting travel from impacted countries is the way it should be approached.  There’s no doubt that this was completely botched from the very beginning by Trump administration.  
 
and like I’ve been saying this failure isn’t something that should surprise us.  We’ve spent 4 decades dismantling the ability of the state to respond to anything because the politics in this country have pure contempt for a functioning state.  That is something both sides are responsible for.  I’m sure MT will be pleased with that acknowledgment.  We’re so far along with this project that the next thing they’ll kill is the fucking post office.  Privatize everything !
 
Anyway,  even if Trumps administration wasn’t packed with stupid fucking assholes we would have had a problem.  Maybe it was made a little worse by the psychotic conservatives all over the place.  It’s hard to measure that.  But still,  I mean there are tons of empty positions in the federal government that they’ll never fill.  Not that all of those are related to this.  But the point stands.

Now that’s a fucking Craig!

I think in the future, if we’re aware that some virus is massively spreading in China or anywhere it is correct and good to completely ban entry from the country in question.  Also, people traveling into the United States who would have recently been in the problem country.   And I would also support tracking down and quarantining the people who got in before the block was enforced. 
 
sorry if you can potentially make people sick and spread disease some of your freedoms get flushed down the toilet.  Tough shit.  We should be much more vigilant and restrictive about this sort of thing. 

This shouldn't be a political issue, but it has been made one by both sides.
The federal government screwed up royally in its initial response, which could have greatly reduced the severity of the situation we find ourselves in presently. 
This is a freaking disaster of epic proportions. 

You can say fuck now. Chuck allows it.

Chuck we can say Fucking now

Well he got them from your Facebook

There’s a reason why Chuck was banned from the political forum years ago
