What are you thinking?
If you point a finger at the Clinton's you will end up committing suicide so don't be pointing in that direction.

I always see stuff about gluten and my immediate thought is, "If you haven't been diagnosed with Celiac's Disease, you're just trying to be trendy...."

San Diego County supervisor says six of 194 confirmed deaths are 'pure, solely coronavirus' deaths

by Andrew Mark Miller
| May 15, 2020 11:52 AMThe supervisor of San Diego County, California, is pushing back against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order, arguing that only six of the county’s 194 recorded coronavirus deaths are “pure, solely coronavirus deaths.”

“We’ve unfortunately had six pure, solely coronavirus deaths — six out of 3.3 million people,” San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said in an interview this week, according to the San Diego Tribune. “I mean, what number are we trying to get to with those odds? I mean, it’s incredible. We want to be safe, and we can do it, but unfortunately, it’s more about control than getting the economy going again and keeping people safe.”

San Diego County Public Health Officer Wilma Wooten disagreed with Desmond, who downplayed deaths resulting from patients with preexisting conditions.

“Their life is no less valuable than someone’s life who does not have underlying medical conditions,” she said. “This is not just San Diego. This is how this is done throughout the entire nation in terms of identifying who has died of COVID-19.”

I can do whatever you need for $90 an hour and I and I am a MKT union member. So no scab work issue. I can be up in about 16 hours or so.

While the same money either way, a restaurant can't just enact a tax. But they can add a surcharge. And if you don't agree with the surcharge, you don't have to eat there.
