Listen if youre willing to shut the country down till January, this lockdown will "work" eventually. If waiting it out is not an option you'd better remove the biases. They need clear headed people in the room with ideas capable of pivoting as the environment changes...not a time for egos or we will all die one way or the other. I'm not sure what the objection is to using persons like Gilbert Morris, maybe he killed the pet hamster.... but if the boat is sinking and he have the life rafts.. it might be a good idea to use him.

Pulling numbers out of a hate hat to support the global agenda. Globally all of it is fiat, all of it.

But didn't Minnis tell Renward to tell heathcare officials to report not more than 3 new cases for yesterday? Someone didn't follow the order and should be fined and/or imprisoned.
