Asking for a friend.

I know they are starting conditioning everywhere...but we need contact. When there is approved player to player contact then that is when all the dominoes should fall.

The parallels between the coronavirus and the climate crisis

You could just as easily replace the words ‘climate change’ with ‘COVID-19’; it is truly the tale of two pandemics deferred, denied, and distorted.

Donald Trump ‘living in alternate reality,’ says John Kerry – but Americans are fighting back

Former Secretary of State says US president has no capacity to ‘tell the truth, or face it, to lead’

Kim Sengupta Diplomatic Editor - 43 minutes ago

Two of the most senior figures in US diplomacy in recent times have accused Donald Trump of an abject failure of leadership which has led to dire responses to the coronavirus pandemic and the protests sweeping across the country.

In their withering assessment, John Kerry, the former Secretary of State and Samantha Power, former ambassador to the UN, charged the president with peddling fantasies and sacrificing national interest for his own political agenda.

Mr Trump was also accused abdicated US leadership in the wider international arena. As a result of this, they said, China is seeking to step into the vacuum - with some success.

Speaking at the Global Leadership Summit, CogX, Mr Kerry said: “the odds were against us from the beginning” on the pandemic because “you have the United States with a leader who has no ability to tell the truth, or face it, or to lead.

“And so the result was that you had our president attacking the World Health Organization almost from the beginning. He wanted to dismiss the notion of really knowing how many the numbers were because he knew it would affect his politics.”

Meant to post this here instead of at another thread earlier today. Thanks for understanding:

*****************

Although the destructive lockdowns imposed by Democrat/Left governors are beginning to be eased, understand that the conditions that come along with reopening businesses are not just draconian, they're designed to slow the recovery to a crawl and are unsustainable for many small businesses. And along with the severe state-wide anti-social restrictions including anti-social face-hiding and anti-social "distancing" that have done so much damage to our society, it is going to be very tough to operate businesses in California. Take restaurants, bars and wineries for example. With the blessings of California's far-Left Governor Gavin Newsom (aka, Nancy Pelosi's nephew), in many counties these small businesses are "allowed" by the State to be reopened but only if they meet the following business-harming restrictions:

-- All staff must wear masks (i.e., your food and drinks will be served by someone who looks like they belong in a sick ward)
-- Entertainment and games are prohibited "until these types of activities are allowed to resume" (no air hockey; no pool; no darts; no live music, etc.
-- "All events or gatherings that would bring together persons from different households, such as private parties, must be cancelled or postponed until further notice"

Real nice, huh? The Democrat/Left can keep this up indefinitely while they shout that they're "ending the lockdowns" and "helping the economy to recover".

If there is any doubt in anyone's mind that this entire virus/riots fiasco which has been so carefully planned is not political; that it, along with the recent violence and continuing anti-social restrictions, is designed solely as an attempt to stop Trump's re-election; then that person is simply denying reality.

Unless the NCAA changed the rules, after spring practices end, you can’t have contact until around the first of August.
