I reckon my apology for misunderstanding your argument wasn't enough... and "just want to argue because we rarely agree?",,,
Good luck Lina... ... The county’s contract Channel 2 Investigated obtained the full contract between the county and Garner Environmental Services. Among some of the items in it, we found highly compensated personnel ranging from: Various safety officers receiving day rates of $2,875, $2,300 and $2,012 A finance section chief at $2,875 a day Two public information officers at $2012 a day, even though the contract states “contact with the news media, citizens of Harris County or governmental agencies shall be the responsibility of the county.” “Obviously, the county has a lot of public information officers that could be given this task," says Ed Emmett, former Harris County Judge and current KPRC 2 Political Analyst. “It’s a lot of money, $60 million, does that make sense,” asked Emmett after we showed him the contract.
I have to rub it in the one time we are both right. You are such a great resource on everything corona and politics that the one time we agree you still give me hell. No, but seriously, I wish i was smart enough to understand any of this stuff.
Danett's http://montgomerycountypolicereport...nds-to-harris-county-order-to-wear-face-mask/ “Earlier today we heard the news that the county judge in Harris County is ordering people to wear a mask any time they appear in public. It has been reported that Harris County will make it a crime punishable by fine or jail for not doing so.” “Ordinarily I have stayed out of the business of other counties especially those with which we possess a good relationship. However the amount of calls coming into our county offices today whether from individuals or news agencies about possible orders being issued requiring Montgomery County citizens to do the same has been staggering.” “As your Montgomery County Judge, in consultation with our county attorney’s office, I do not find a statutory or legal basis that would allow me or anyone else in government to issue an order requiring the citizens to wear a mask. Especially under the fear of making it a criminal offense if they don’t. If you choose to wear a mask or face covering I support your decision to do so. If you are a high-risk individual and you want to wear a mask while in public places then please do. If you choose not to wear a mask I support that decision as well.” “However, I will not issue an order mandating the wearing of face coverings or mask in public places anywhere in Montgomery County. We will support your right to decide for yourself whether or not a face mask is necessary when you leave your home. Please continue to practice good hygiene, keeping hands clean, staying home when sick, and avoiding others who are sick and proper social distancing as recommended by the CDC.” “If you do this we will see the end of this coming sooner than later. Thank you and God bless you and God bless Montgomery County.”

Requiring the masks makes more sense to me than requiring people to wear seatbelts. Go Tweet & complain about seatbelts...
I'm seeing on social media some of my Trump supporting friends, who were protesting in St. Paul, saying that they are hearing that hospitals are empty and that nurses are being furloughed so this is all the Liberal media blowing it out of proportion. While there have been some medical professions furloughed those are one's who's specialties are in elective procedures which are on hold. Needless to say I won't be working out with these guys not for a long while even when things relax.
Lots of country-by-country new case and and death info showing trends in this twitter thread. Some, like Italy, Spain, France starting to show the tide has turned. Others like Australia and New Zealand due to their circumstances appear in very good shape. The US view: Iran, but some questions about how believable?
