https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...-grand-n1200501 Have any of you been following the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery? He was shot and killed in SE Georgia in Feb. The DA has passed the case off now to 2 different DA's due to one of the shooters working with the local police department in the past. The third DA today recommended that a Grand Jury review the case, but that won't happen for a while due to COVID. The two shooters are free right now. Additionally, a few hours ago a Georgian radio station released video of the shooting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNZQvE2k4OE. I moved away from the area about 7 months ago, but everyone from that area on social media seems to be alluding to some kind of a protest starting in a few hours.

Pennsylvania County Declares Racism a Public Health Crisis theroot.com/Wednesday 6:00PM "The COVID-19 pandemic has fully illuminated the effect that decades of ingrained, systemic racism has had on the black community. The pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on black people on the economic front, in the severity of the virus’s symptoms, and in the racial disparity of its treatment. In Pittsburgh, an effort is underway to address that disparity." States Getting Hit Hardest By Coronavirus Are Getting Stiffed by the Small Business Bailout Program vice.com/May 6 2020 "On the other hand, some states with relatively few COVID-19 cases saw their small businesses get more loans. More than 55 percent of Nebraska businesses that applied for the loans received them, even though the state had seen fewer than a thousand confirmed cases at the time. (Currently, Nebraska has more than 6,300 positive cases and has seen 78 deaths, according to STAT News’ COVID-19 Tracker.)" Every conversation about reopening should be about testing vox.com/ May 8, 2020 'The conversation about when states should start to reopen their economies is growing louder and louder — with President Donald Trump and some governors suggesting it’s time to relax social distancing measures implemented in response to the coronavirus pandemic. But many of those conversations are missing the point. According to public health experts, the conversations should first and foremost focus on Covid-19 testing. Until the US and individual states scale up their testing capabilities, they shouldn’t even start talking about the prospect of reopening their economies. “There’s this really big focus from a lot of governors and leadership on ‘reopening the country,’ but not emphasizing what they’re doing to make testing happen,” Saskia Popescu, an infectious disease epidemiologist, told me. “We can’t talk about reopening until we have a strategy for [testing and tracing].”' White House Misled Public, Buried CDC Reopening Guidelines and is Now Preparing for Second Coronavirus Wave newsweek.com/5/8/20 "The White House is preparing for a second wave of the coronavirus after reportedly attempting to mislead the public about their initial burying of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on safely reopening the economy."

Or just the opposite?" Media coverage has blown anti-lockdown protests out of proportion vox.com/May 10, 2020 "Recent anti-Trump rallies have been bigger than the anti-lockdown protests. Guess which ones got more media attention?" .... "In the last few weeks, protests against state lockdowns and social distancing measures have seized national headlines. The wall-to-wall coverage might give the impression that what we’re seeing is a powerful grassroots movement in the making. But research we just conducted on protest attendance and media coverage shows something different: this massive media coverage has in fact been out of proportion."

As States Rush to Reopen, Scientists Fear a Coronavirus Comeback nytimes.com/May 11, 2020 "Officials are under pressure to restart the economy, but many states are moving too quickly, researchers say. The costs may be measured in lost lives." South Korea struggles to contain new outbreak amid anti-gay backlash theguardian.com/Mon 11 May 2020 Conservative columnist unloads on selfish Americans who are unwilling to forego brunch to save lives rawstory.com/7 hours ago '“Conservatives used to understand this,” Sykes remembered with longing. “Insisting on responsible self-government is not the opposite of freedom, it is the essential predicate. Freedom-oriented conservatives used to argue that individuals and non-governmental institutions would act in their rational self-interest and would do a better and more effective job than bureaucratic top-down fiats.” He then noted that the decision by the president and others not to wear a mask is just another in a long line of selfish behaviors. “Obviously, this breakdown is going to have huge consequences, because the key to fighting the pandemic is not simply technical (testing and tracing) but also political and social,” wrote Sykes. Stanford professor Keith Humphreys noted that experts haven’t yet grappled with the idea that there are Americans who will be unwilling to be tested and refuse to self-isolate.' Reposting: White House Races to Contain Virus in Its Ranks: ‘It Is Scary to Go to Work’ nytimes.com/May 10, 2020 'The Trump administration is racing to contain an outbreak of the coronavirus inside the White House, as some senior officials believe that the disease is already spreading rapidly through the warren of cramped offices that make up the three floors of the West Wing. Three top officials leading the government’s coronavirus response have begun two weeks of self-quarantine after two members of the White House staff — one of President Trump’s personal valets and Katie Miller, the spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence — tested positive. But others who came into contact with Ms. Miller and the valet are continuing to report to work at the White House. “It is scary to go to work,” Kevin Hassett, a top economic adviser to the president, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program on Sunday. Mr. Hassett said he wore a mask at times at the White House, but conceded that “I think that I’d be a lot safer if I was sitting at home than I would be going to the West Wing.” He added: “It’s a small, crowded place. It’s, you know, it’s a little bit risky. But you have to do it because you have to serve your country.”' New stay home protest planned in Lansing — and cops, leaders have message for attendees freep.com [Detroit Free Press]/May 12, 2020 'With Michigan officials preparing for another protest rally at the Capitol on Thursday, the state Senate's Republican leader denounced threats against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and said anyone brandishing a firearm should be arrested. Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, said Tuesday that despite a longstanding rule that Michiganders with carry permits can bring firearms into the Capitol, anyone brandishing them in such a way as to intimidate or threaten anyone else should be "properly handcuffed, properly taken in (and) fingerprinted." Michigan United for Liberty, a group opposed to Whitmer's sweeping stay-at-home orders intended to combat the spread of coronavirus, is organizing an event at the Capitol from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. Thursday. While its leaders say they have discouraged violence and have not encouraged anyone to bring a firearm, they recognize that some have done so.'

Canadian Air Force Pilot Dies After Jet Crashes During Coronavirus Tribute nbcnewyork.com/Published 3 hours ago 'A Canadian air force pilot died Sunday after a jet crashed into a British Columbia home during a celebration for front-line workers in the coronavirus pandemic, authorities said. The Royal Canadian Air Force said in a statement that another pilot was seriously injured in incident, which occurred in Kamloops, northeast of Vancouver. Additional details about the pilots weren't immediately available, NBC News reports.

VA says it won’t stop use of unproven malaria drug on veterans with coronavirus militarytimes.com/8 hours ago "Facing growing criticism, the Department of Veterans Affairs said Friday that it will not halt use of an unproven malaria drug on veterans with COVID-19 but that fewer of its patients are now taking it. In responses provided to Congress and obtained by The Associated Press, the VA said it never “encouraged or discouraged” its government-run hospitals to use hydroxychloroquine on patients even as President Donald Trump heavily promoted the drug for months without scientific evidence of its effectiveness. Still, it acknowledged that VA Secretary Robert Wilkie had wrongly asserted publicly without evidence that the drug had been shown to benefit younger veterans. The VA, the nation’s largest hospital system, also agreed more study was needed on the drug and suggested its use was now limited to extenuating circumstances, such as last-ditch efforts to save a coronavirus patient’s life."

But the drop isn't just from individuals who live in states where they can now dine in restaurants, get haircuts at barbershops or visit parks. More people in states that still have stay-at-home restrictions are also no longer social distancing.

'Pharma Bro' Martin Shkreli Denied Release From Prison To Research Coronavirus Cure npr.org/May 17, 2020 'A federal judge has denied a request from Martin Shkreli — the former pharmaceutical executive widely disdained as "Pharma Bro" — to be released from prison so he can work on a coronavirus treatment. In her ruling Saturday, U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto sided with probation officials who described Shkreli's stated aim of developing a coronavirus cure as the type of "delusional self-aggrandizing behavior" that got him sentenced in the first place. "The court does not find that releasing Mr. Shkreli will protect the public, even though Mr. Shkreli seeks to leverage his experience with pharmaceuticals to help develop a cure for COVID-19 that he would purportedly provide at no cost," Matsumoto wrote in a nine-page ruling.' Nine pages in this instance seems a dynamic use of of carbon isolation. Yay on all counts.

'Cellphone data provided to The Guardian by advocacy group Committee to Protect Medicare shows that the right-wing anti-lockdown protests encouraged by President Donald Trump may have resulted in the spread of coronavirus across the country as some demonstrators traveled to the events from out of state, flouted social distancing guidelines, and then returned to their home communities. The Guardian reported Monday that the data shows demonstrators, some of them heavily armed, "are often traveling hundreds of miles to events" protesting state stay-at-home orders designed to stem the spread of Covid-19, which has infected more than 1.4 million people in the U.S. and killed at least 89,000. "The behavior we're seeing at protests carries a high risk of infection," said Dr. Rob Davidson, an emergency care physician and executive director of the Committee to Protect Medicare. Many demonstrators at events in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other states did not wear masks or adhere to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which recommend that people remain at least six feet apart and avoid gathering in crowds. "We can see protesters are going from a highly concentrated event and then dispersing widely," Davidson said.' Quiet protest tax: https://i.imgur.com/TCBlLHa.mp4

Trump Is Brazenly Interfering With the 2020 Election theatlantic.com/11:30 AM ET [Pretty sure the individual in the included White House lawn photo is not much capable of blazingly interfering with a wee pile of wet sawdust, but anyway]: "Imagine that the White House chief of staff wrote a secret memo, at the behest of the president of the United States, to the Treasury secretary and the director of the Office of Management and Budget. In the carefully hidden memo, the chief of staff directs the two to secretly and illegally cut off all federal funding to two key swing states, both led by Democratic governors, with the goal of rigging turnout in favor of the president’s party in the 2020 election. Now imagine that the memo leaked to The Wall Street Journal, which splashed the story across its front page. The other major papers would quickly follow. Cable news would cover it wall to wall. There would be congressional investigations. Now imagine that instead of conducting all this skulduggery in private, the president just openly tweeted it out. Actually, you don’t have to imagine it. You can just surf over to Donald Trump’s Twitter feed this morning:" Racism declared a public health crisis in Ohio's most populated county abcnews.go.com/May 20, 2020 " Officials in Ohio have declared racism a public health crisis in the state's most populated county. Commissioners in Franklin County passed a resolution Tuesday that makes the declaration, as well as vows to support community efforts on racism and ensure that board commissioners will work under "antiracism principles." The resolution was in the works well before the novel coronavirus crisis, according to officials. “Racism has been a pandemic long before the current coronavirus pandemic,” Commissioner Kevin L. Boyce said in a statement. “Our declaration today is important, but it’s not saying anything that hasn’t been apparent for a long time. COVID-19 has highlighted the health divide between black and white Ohioans, however, and I hope that it can be the catalyst we need to reform the whole health system so that it works for all of us equally.” The declaration describes race as a "social construct with no biological basis." It also identifies two types of racism: individualized racism and systemic racism." Citing financial cost of pandemic, House liberals demand cut in military spending washingtonpost.com/May 19, 2020 "Twenty-nine of the House’s most liberal Democratic members called Tuesday for a cut in military spending in the yearly national defense authorization bill — a declaration, they said, that is meant to focus federal resources on the coronavirus pandemic. The demand, however, stands to greatly complicate the Democratic-controlled House’s ability to advance the National Defense Authorization Act, one of the most consequential must-pass measures that Congress assembles each year. It is likely to generate objections from Republicans and more moderate Democrats alike — and create headaches for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her leadership team. The signers are almost all members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, including lead sponsors Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Mark Pocan (Wis.), who have long called for lower levels of Pentagon spending to free more resources for domestic spending. But the pandemic, they argue, presents a new imperative for defense cuts." ‘Anti-lockdown protesters’ are nothing but strikebreakers peoplesworld.org/May 18, 2020 "In the middle of this deadly COVID-19 pandemic, which has already cost our nation over 90,000 lives, we’ve seen the spectacle of crowds of heavily armed racist white men demanding the economy be reopened. They project an image of regular working folks pressed to speak out against government “tyranny” that has unreasonably forced them to stay home. They say all they want is to reopen their little businesses and for the government to let all Americans go back to safe, peaceful, and prosperous work. Much like their overall view of the world, however, that is a false, misleading narrative." .... Anti-lockdown protests aren’t just an American thing. They’re a global phenomenon. vox.com/May 20, 2020 "The anti-lockdown protests that have garnered so much attention in the United States in recent weeks may seem like a uniquely American phenomenon. Wired’s Emma Grey Ellis called them an “American mess,” describing them as “a modern permutation of an identity crisis with roots very deep in America’s individualist history.” The protests have been compared to other American political movements, from Trump rallies to the rise of the Tea Party in 2009, which took its own name from the 1773 Boston Tea Party, a seminal event in US history that helped spark the American Revolution and came to symbolize the fundamental American trait of rejection of tyranny and government overreach. But while the anti-lockdown protests that have taken place in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Utah, and elsewhere certainly have a distinctly American flavor, they are far from unique to America. Similar protests have taken place almost everywhere you look around the world." Anti-lockdown demonstrators trade guns for scissors at Michigan 'haircut' protest nbcnews.com/May 20, 2020 "Hundreds of protesters turned out Wednesday to protest Michigan's stay-at-home order — and get free haircuts. Toting signs that read "End tyranny," "Live free or die" and accusing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of "killing small businesses," demonstrators rallied outside the state Capitol in Lansing as part of "Operation Haircut." Several barbers were in attendance, giving free trims to demonstrators. Some of the barbers and protesters were not wearing face coverings. Many of the demonstrators also stood within 6 feet of one another as they waited for their cuts. At least three of the barbers were given citations for disorderly conduct, the state police said on Twitter. "All individuals engaging in haircuts are being educated on the law," the police tweeted. "Those who do not comply will be cited for disorderly conduct. All citations will be forwarded to the AG’s Office for review." The police estimated there were 350 people in attendance."
