“... This is the case with Covid-19, where a broad array of scientific facts overwhelmingly shows that anxiety from reactions to the disease will destroy at least seven times more years of life than can possibly be saved by lockdowns. Moreover, the total loss of life from all societal responses to this disease is likely to be more than 90 times greater than prevented by the lockdowns.“

The Mayor of #Denver has announced that masks will be mandatory in every store within the city limits. I've worn masks in stores for weeks now, but I'm not sure he's got the authority to require all citizens to be prevented from buying food unless they wear a face mask.

Update: We Now Have Only 12 Seconds Left Until Climate Change Destroys The Planet

"The earth will be totally destroyed in the next, oh, 12 seconds," said Beto O'Rourke at a rally. "If you don't give the government a bunch of money and power, it will happen. Trust me."

"So hand over the cash, guys," he said. "Like, now. I'm super serious."
