Two thirds of COVID-19 patients improve after Gilead drug: NEJM

Another reason to flatten the curve.

On a hunch I went into Dollar General and was able to buy 36 double rolls of Cottonelle. I shall slaughter a fattened calf in honor of this great victory for our tribe.

You all despise the constitution so you should probably sit this one out. Every governor pulling crap like this should be removed from office at the least

Scalia. Says. You're. Wrong.

I'm no Scalia fan. But if he's saying your view on religious freedom is going too far for even him ... you're probably in the wrong.

I thought that we had separation of church and state. I don't go to church, but I doubt that going to the grocery store is that much safer.

You need food to live. You can worship over the net.

If a R governor was stopping Muslims from celebrating you all would have a different opinion, it’s Christians and they are all evil so they deserve to be treated like this.

Pray tell, where are Muslims being allowed to attend mosques but Christians are being barred from attending Church?

You don't seem to be grasping these are executive orders of general application that apply across the board.

All I know is I need to make a trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot and there will be a million people there.
I drove by the Lowe’s in Hendersonville yesterday and the parking lot was totally full. I guess I’ll find me an Ace Hardware

Reminds me that the most popular food in England is ... Indian food.


That's the correct argument. Read the Smith case I linked above (authored by that bleeding heart libtard Scalia). This is a general exercise of the state's police powers. It's is not directed at or targeting any religious practices. It is targeting large gatherings across the board.

These Churches Refuse To Close Over COVID-19. Does the Constitution Protect Their Right To Remain Open?

I'm no scholar, but I am pretty sure the 1st Amendment does.

You completely miss the point.

Who was he going to order them from, China?

Yep.
China donates 1,000 ventilators to New York

A better example was that stupid article she posted a while back about Trump supposedly being told about the virus back in November. It didn’t take long for that lie to be proven false.

From the articles I read, they said (based on US military source, whatever that means) that the intelligence community had been tracking the virus since November, multiple government agencies were briefed in Nov and Dec, and that it made it into the PDP in January - so I took from those statements that the president wasn’t officially briefed until January.

Regardless, has it been proven what wasn’t correct about those? I just saw a statement from DNI or DIA, can’t recall, that there were inaccuracies in he reports.

 

[TennTradition]

It’s unconstitutional

Then let someone sue.

You must be nouveau rich. In poor taste to flaunt your wealth.

Easter is a Christian holiday.

I don’t know why no one has

I agree. The 1st amendment argument with respect to religion is pretty weak here. I’d also add that, for me anyway, the church is not a building, it’s the people and until they are singled out and restricted from actually practicing their religion or have one imposed on them, the government is likely in the clear.

Easter is a Christian holiday.

Passover was a Jewish observance earlier this week and synagogues were closed.

 

[TennTradition]

I don’t know why no one has

I don’t think it would go well. I think the courts will uphold broad authority during not only a public health emergency but a national emergency.

Ace and True Value is where I go for any basic hardware. It's the only place I go for proper instruction. If the choice is between some pimply faced doofus and and old fella clad in overalls, is there really even a choice?

 

[Purple Tiger]

Lol daily beast citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation. Nice try Zep. I know the feeling I have voted for Bob Dole and John McCain it is not pleasant. And the worst part is knowing that the top brass of your party is responsible for it.

Sorry, Charlie.....

Trump May Skip Debates, or Seek New Host, if Process Isn’t ‘Fair’

What you consider to be church and what others do could be different. Plus even by your standard of church is also prohibited because these orders also don’t let groups of more than 10 gather. I never expected you to be good with government stopping people from going to church.

It would be a positive step for someone to try it. It’s not a national emergency lol
