Starting last night New Zealand has gone into a full stay at home lockdown for at least 4 weeks.
In contrast to a lot of other countries (I’m looking at you USA) our leadership has been doing a fantastic job. Our prime minister did a live stream from home answering questions and setting the scene for the next 4 weeks. Unfortunately I could only find the FB link if anyone is interested.
Kia Kaha, Kia haumaru
Just because it sometimes doesn’t apply doesn’t mean it always doesn’t apply.
In this case, spot on. This bill is a fucking disaster, it will manage to help somewhere from not-at-all to barely while tanking the economy down the road.
Jacinda Ardern is awesome. If you could clone her and send the clone Jacinda to the following address, I would reimburse you for the shipping costs:
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500 USA
Thank you!
Well I have at least 4 weeks at home so I’ll see if I can get the cloning lab into full operation.
As of today, Houston is under Stay-At-Home orders that include a bunch of caveats, like parks still being open (but not being allowed to use benches or playground equipment!) and other stuff. It’s really stupid and doesn’t give me any hope that the city or Texas at large will be in any better shape two weeks from now.
Huge if true.
Expanding unemployment insurance to cover “contractors” like Uber drivers and the self-employed is definitely a big deal, and the result of the Dems generating leverage with the House bill. Very definitely not nothing.
The Federalist has definitely gone off the deep end.
(Not linking the article itself for obvious reasons, and this is a screenshot because Twitter inexplicably managed to do the right thing and flagged it as being in violation of its rules on COVID-19 misinformation between the time I saw it and the time I came here to post it.)
They should revoke their account completely.
It’s is not connected to the conservative legal group that vets judges for Trump
They’re just some wingnuts with a website with a pretentious name
Because they are Blanche…
I thought that was the group that vettes judges for Trump…
A 77-year-old man “hunting pokemon”, among the 664 fined in Madrid for breaking the quarantine.
Among the most striking cases, a police spokesperson highlights, is the fine filed against a 77-year-old man on a street in the Latina district at half past one in the afternoon. According to the part that the body has published on social networks and that is completely true, the man told the agents that “he was hunting pokemons.”
They’re all part of the same ecosystem, but it wasn’t the Federalist Society running hit pieces on Neil deGrasse Tyson because he happened to talk about evolution and climate change on a TV show
I don’t think “Gotta Catch 'Em All!” was meant to refer to deadly contagions.
I think that the old crook made a bad and poor excuse for the cops. He failed miserably, as did Team Rocket’s attempts to steal Pikachu.
Hunting #Pokemon, dinosaurs, or any other magical creatures is FORBIDDEN during the State of Emergency. Do not make excuses and #stay at home.
