Things Republicans Consider “Essential Services:” Churches and Guns

A day after learning that we should probably expect to see 100,000 deaths (or more) in the US from the coronavirus pandemic, Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, finally stopped dragging his feet and issued a stay-home order for 30 days, limiting all activity to “essential services.”

So what does Gov. DeSantis consider “essential,” you ask? All religious services, for starters, because apparently houses of worship have a magical force field that prevents the entry of deadly viruses.

But what could be even more essential, so essential that Donald Trump would designate them as “critical infrastructure?” I’ll bet you can guess…

GUNS.

Trump admin deems gun dealers and shooting ranges essential after lobbying push.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency added the firearms industry to the list of “essential” sectors on Saturday. That addition allows many gun stores and ammunition dealers to remain open as other businesses shut their doors. The advisory was issued as a guide after several states such as California, New Jersey and Massachusetts cited lack of a federal directive on what could be deemed as essential businesses. Since the list is advisory, states vary on how closely they follow the guidance.

Days earlier, a number of leading gun advocacy groups lobbied President Donald Trump’s administration. The advisory came a day after Gun Owners of America sent a letter to the DHS requesting that the firearms dealers be deemed essential critical infrastructure.

I’ve never heard McDonald play piano this much, and wow, he’s great. Beautiful harmonic changes and voicings in his intro sections.

You haven’t? Didn’t he do his own accompaniment on “Takin; It to the Streets” back in ‘78?

Not to mention “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)” 4 years later.

I was already a fan of his electric-piano work, is what I’m saying 😇

It pisses me off to no end that pastors are taking up the cry of martyrdom while defying social distancing orders. Martyrdom is being jailed and executed specifically because you are a Christian; what’s going on here is not specific to faith. Do you see Muslims attending mosque, or Jews attending synagogue? This isn’t about Christianity at all, and martyrdom is the wrong play to make. Stay the fuck home and stop appealing to the Tribulation to try to keep your rubes paying their tithes.

re: #8 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

Premature martyrdom is a symptom of the culture’s general position that anything that inconveniences them, or prompts self-reflection, is an attack.

I’ve had people go into the “you can’t stop me” high dudgeon when I pointed out the theological problems with their reading of Revelations from a Christian perspective. It was a way of bypassing that they couldn’t justify their beliefs with the texts their beliefs were based on.

It’s a defense mechanism for their spiritual naricissism: anything that happens to them is persecution, everything that happens to everyone else is somehow deserved.

Busy at the grocery store this afternoon, and like yesterday the streets seem busy, not as busy as normal, but busier than last week. As the days go by I think it’s going to be harder to keep people indoors.

At the store: most isles were stock full. Even the water isle was mostly full. There were eggs.

What was missing? The paper isle, empty again. Yesterday there was some toilet paper in a couple of brands I don’t normally buy. That lot was all gone today. Nary a sign of paper towels. Haven’t seen paper towels in almost two weeks.

It looks like the coronavirus project site out of the U. of Washington (https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections), is adjusting it’s projected death count upward. IIRC, it had recently projected something over 80K deaths. It’s now at 93,765.

Among the lessons people didn’t learn from Jonestown is that one third of the believers were willing to point guns at the other two-thirds to make them drink the poison.

While we might respect a committed believer who martyrs themselves, or the believer that fights and dies for a cause…a lot of people are willing to adopt the same framework of killing and dying for stupid, trivial things that they’ve decided are central to their self-concept.

The Rude Pundit: Trump Must Resign or Be Removed from the Presidency

Something kind of extraordinary happened at Monday’s White House coronavirus task force press briefing. It happened when President Donald Trump asked Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Seema Verma to say a few words. She stepped up to the microphone and said, “Let me start by saying, I want to convey my deepest sympathies to those that have lost loved ones to the coronavirus. We’re all thinking of you.”

What was extraordinary was that it was the first time in at least a week, if ever, that anyone in the Trump administration recognized the families of the dead and offered any condolences. I have gone through days of briefings and Trump appearances, searching for some sign of compassion for the suffering, and this was the only example I could find.

It’s a bad action, but anyone booked on a cruise beginning after Grand Princess, if not all the way back before that to “after Diamond Princess”, was quarantined should have run the other way.

And instead we were hearing about people who were dropping everything to jump on the cancelled slots because the new price was so low.

I’m not sure how we see a recovery in the cruise industry ever, though, since it’s the on mode of vacation that almost assures that if one person boards with a condition, the transmission rate will approach 80% by the end of the cruise.

I was listening to that Fountains of Wayne album a lot while driving back and forth to my parents house when my mom was dying of leukemia. I’d wind up sobbing when this song came on and I’m pretty sure the lyrics are a metaphor for the death of a friend. To me, the guitar solo is openly mourning.

A total of 93,765 US COVID-19 deaths (range of 41,399 to 177,381) are currently predicted through the epidemic’s first wave. These COVID-19 death predictions are higher than what was released on March 31, a difference of 11,624 deaths (though their estimated ranges overlapped). These estimates assume the strong continuation of statewide social distancing measures in places where they are already enacted, and future adoption within the next seven days in states without them. If such policies are relaxed or not implemented, the US could experience a higher COVID-19 death toll and hospital burden than what our models currently predict.

Question: how long before the next milestone, of ten million cases worldwide? Will the reporting system(s) fail before then?

Note that the 1918 pandemic global case and death counts have been estimated after the fact. This is the first pandemic of this size since the internet era. SARS(1), MERS, Ebola are more deadly but they were contained quickly (with great effort.)

$2T divided by 330M is a bit over $6k/person.

I’d rather that be the “stimulus”. I could use $6k much more than $1.2k .

$6k/person can make quite a difference in people’s lives. And many people will spend it, not save it, which means commerce would boom, and many companies would hire.

But corporate officers holding millions in their own shares wouldn’t benefit so much.

Yep. Both Mpls & StP stores.

Also Oarfolkjokeopus, The Electric Fetus, and Let It Be Records in Mpls, Cheapo (where Grant Hart and Bob Mould met each other) and Flip Side in StP. Road Runner was probably around back then too but I discovered it much later. Probably another half-dozen stores I’m forgetting. The record store scene in the Twin Cities is the reason the music scene was so good.

A good friend of mine, who played in a band on the Twin City circuit in the 1980s, worked there for a couple of years from 1986-1988, I think (Northern Lights). I went up to see him in 1987 and we saw so many great shows. What a magical decade or so.

And then there’s Brit Hume claiming that the death toll isn’t as bad because NY is inflating the death toll. He’s trying to claim that people aren’t dying of covid19.

They’re grasping at straws to say and do anything to deflect from fact that Trump’s failures are absolute and complete. They want to deflect by saying that these people would have died of other causes and covid19 isn’t to blame (except that but for covid19, these people would still be alive).

To be fair, I’m not sure how much better off they are in the diseased state of Florida than on the diseased cruise ship.

The comparison with 9/11 is misleading; Canada had no concern that the American passengers posed any threat to them. Here, everyone is terrified. Of course, if DeSantis really was worried about coronavirus, he would have shut the beaches weeks ago. The only thing that worries him is money (or lack thereof), not the threat that this disease poses to the people in his state, but the threat it poses to the bottom line.

But you are not likely to make a fortune on TV discussing topics in that arena and unfortunately for us all, he decided to espouse theories that are totally unrelated to his area of expertise, but very helpful to his bank account.

As I cannot/will not watch the cretinous rally gaggles, does anyone know—after the “misunderstanding” of Mexican and domestic, did the asshole ever have any response to the fear of increasing domestic violence during isolation?

I know that after donating to the food bank, my next donation was to the women’s shelter—it’s a huge problem here during the best of times (SC is always in the top 5 dv murder states), and I fear it will escalate badly with people confined in close quarters—with guns at the ready. The Post and Courier won a Pulitzer in 2015 for “Till Death Do Us Part”—riveting and sad. It begins:

More than 300 women were shot, stabbed, strangled, beaten, bludgeoned or burned to death over the past decade by men in South Carolina, dying at a rate of one every 12 days while the state does little to stem the carnage from domestic abuse.

More than three times as many women have died here at the hands of current or former lovers than the number of Palmetto State soldiers killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.

MAN SHOT, ARRESTED: A 35-year-old Battle Creek man was treated at Bronson Battle Creek after Battle Creek police said he shot himself in the leg with a gun he purchased as protection because of the coronavirus outbreak. Officers were called to the hospital at 1:10 a.m. Monday when the man arrived by private vehicle with a gunshot wound to his right thigh. He told police he had argued with a man near a gas station at Capital Avenue and Goguac Street and the other man shot him. He said he went home and his wife drove him to the hospital. However when police went to the man’s home on Goguac Street to investigate, they found blood and a shell casing near the living room couch. When police questioned the man again, he first said he had been shot by someone else but then admitted he accidentally shot himself. Police found a 9mm handgun in the man’s dresser. He was arrested on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and reckless discharge of a weapon. No one else was injured. The man’s wife said he just recently purchased the gun because he thought he might need it if there is chaos because of the coronavirus.

Woman found in shed after crash:

CRASH VICTIM FOUND: A 29-year-old Battle Creek woman was found in a shed about 12 hours after she and others walked away from a car crash in Emmett Township. The owner of the shed on Cathedral Lane found the woman about 11 a.m. Tuesday covered with a tarp and sleeping. She had some minor injuries including to her leg, from a crash reported at 11:14 p.m. Monday a short distance away in the 13500 block of Beadle Lake Road. Emmett Township police said a Chevrolet Caprice was northbound when it left the roadway and hit a fence and tree. Witnesses said they saw two or three people leave the scene, including a woman who was limping. Officers searched the area but didn’t find anyone until the woman was located the next morning. She told police she was a passenger in the car and her brothers left her in the shed and said they would return for her. Police have not located any other people and the crash remains under investigation.

Woman with .212 BAC beats man with crutch:

MAN ASSAULTED WITH CRUTCH: A 32-year-old Battle Creek woman was arrested on an assault charge after Battle Creek police said she repeatedly struck a Battle Creek man, 63, with a crutch. Officers were called to the Shell Gas Station at 866 Capital Ave. S.W. at 7:11 p.m. Monday and when they arrived saw the man on the ground and the woman hitting him with both ends of the crutch. When she stopped, she began to walk away from officers, who then used an electric stun gun to subdue and handcuff her. Two other witnesses who had been in a car with the victim and the woman said they picked her up near Capital Avenue and Territorial Road when she asked for a ride. She became upset because she was sitting in the back seat and began to pull on the sweatshirt of the driver. He pulled into the gas station and he and the front seat passenger, using crutches, went inside. The woman began fighting with the older man and they both got out of the car. She went inside and took a crutch from the front seat passenger and went outside and began hitting the man with it and continued even after officers arrived. Police said the woman was intoxicated with a 0.212 blood alcohol level when she was arrested. A driver in Michigan is considered legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.08.

How old was he when is child was born?

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Battle Creek police are seeking a warrant for a man, 33, after his granddaughter, 15, said he pushed her during an argument about his missing razor at 7:26 p.m. Monday in the 100 block of North 23rd Street.

I realize that, and my mention of local ownership was more directed at Sinclair. After the Communications Act of ‘95, Clear Channel went wild buying up small stations, and Sinclair has followed that model. The two news stations in New York City are owned by the same company. I’d like to see radio back in local hands, because no matter what cable news does, local radio stations should reflect local concerns, not have their content beamed in from wherever.

It’s a bad action, but anyone booked on a cruise beginning after Grand Princess, if not all the way back before that to “after Diamond Princess”, was quarantined should have run the other way.

And instead we were hearing about people who were dropping everything to jump on the cancelled slots because the new price was so low.

I’m not sure how we see a recovery in the cruise industry ever, though, since it’s the on mode of vacation that almost assures that if one person boards with a condition, the transmission rate will approach 80% by the end of the cruise.

One little correction — a major outbreak of something like norovirus on a ship might infect 10% of the complement. Most of them don’t get higher than 5%.

Also, a few years back, my traveling companion came down with the flu the day after we boarded and the “transmission rate” was zero. Not even I got it, and we were in the same cabin.

I’m certainly not the only person who will be glad to get back on a cruise ship once they’re up and runnung again.
