Actually they seem to be more concerned about showing loyalty and support for Trump than they are about stopping the spread of the virus to those around them. They are so caught up in their support of their fearless leader that to them to wear a mask and care about the health and well being of one’s neighbors is, as Trump touts, a sign of weakness and disrespect toward him. It’s all about him and them. Sad

Billy, you obviously need to stay in your room. Gavin can let you know when it is safe to come out.

Here’s another “inspiring” story about the brave “freedumb warriors”:

Nine cases of COVID-19, the infection caused by the coronavirus, are now linked to the May 10 service held by the Assembly of God in the Mendocino County city of Redwood Valley. The service was livestreamed to congregants and included singing, county public health officials said Friday.
Officials announced last week that three people had become infected after physically attending the service, with two of them participating. One person was hospitalized.

On Tuesday, the county launched a large-scale drive-through testing site in Redwood Valley for the purpose. Officials learned Friday morning that six more people had tested positive, all of them connected to the Assembly of God church, Doohan said.

“When we have an outbreak of such a large magnitude, it’s very concerning because we know that these individuals have had other contacts since contracting the disease,” she said.

Tulare County Supervisors have ignored the dangers of their decision. I am very disappointed in their action.

If the zip code where a person is residing is a 93274 zip code then that person is considered a Tularean regardless if living one is living in the heart of the city limits or in the outskirts of town.

You are actually saying that these facilities are being paid incentive money ($1000 per day) to “take” these patients…..there is no one being “forced” to take these patients, it is by these facilities “choice” to take them.

The point is what it was the right thing to do. The State is like a mafia boss, and we should tell them we are a sanctuary city.

Well, having a beauty salon in Porterville, the Stylists were excited, but when I discovered that the State licensing could cancel license, what the devil did it gain anyone with any kind of a state mandated license. The item was on their agenda as information only, so why the sudden decision? Only they know. But there are so many disgusted member in District 5 the supervisor may only be a one term member. Haste makes waste and harms people lives.

All you people talking about “only 71” people died (shame on you) and most of them were from convalescent homes. A convalescent home is not only for old people! People of any age are there “convalescing” from an illness or an injury. Older people are never going to get to come outside as long as you healthy, bored people keep spreading the virus!

It is not ping pong pizza nuttiness as you say. It is true that convalescence and similar care type facilities are given up to $1,000 PER DAY to accept and care for patients recovering from COVID-19. That is the LAST place someone who is recovering from this virus should go.
