DeSantis orders cruise ships to allow unvaccinated passengers.

So I will ask the obvious question.  What power does he have to issue that order?

So I will ask the obvious question.  What power does he have to issue that order?

The executive order is in place until a state law saying the same thing begins July 1.  My guess is that it doesn't stand due to the federal government oversight of interstate commerce, but who knows...

It's mostly political grandstanding.

"I am not going to be vaccinated. I'm going to be one of the survivors. I'm going to survive the genocide,"
"The only good thing that will come out of this is a lot of stupid people will be killed off, and I say stupid because they're not using their brain – their God-given brain – to make a decision for their own good," Wiles said
"Today, he was taken to the emergency room, and under medical advice, was admitted to the hospital.  He is currently on oxygen and is expected to remain there for a number of days.

once again, the media could've done it's part in helping us combat this deadly disease in so many ways.  if the media is going to lie about this, what else?  this is being widely reported btw.  it'll just be a few more days before the other "msm" will report(admit) this, but not until they figure what kind of spin to put on it

We agree on this one rocket. Imagine is the media DIDN'T claim COVID was a hoax and encourage people to not take it seriously. Imagine if the media didn't promote useless medicines such as HCQ as miracle cures. Imagine if the media didn't claim COVID was a partisan issue, didn't tell people not to wear masks, and didn't encourage people to "liberate" their statehouses. A lot fewer Americans would have died if not for the disinformation put forth by the media.

The media certainly has a lot to answer for.

Yet again you have used the slightest opening to go off topic and inject your political opinions.

Oooh ... I can see why it's fun for you to play Scoop Police ... even if you often do the same stuff you rail on others for.

Peace!

White House outlines a plan for how the U.S. would distribute an initial 25 million doses around the world:

The White House, besieged with requests from other nations to share excess doses of coronavirus vaccine, on Thursday announced it will distribute an initial 25 million doses this month across a "wide range of countries" within Latin America and the Caribbean, South and Southeast Asia, and Africa, as well as the war-ravaged Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank.

The 25 million represent an initial tranche of a total of 80 million doses President Biden has pledged to send overseas by the end of this month. Three quarters of the first batch will be given to the international vaccine effort known as Covax, officials said. The rest will be reserved for "immediate needs and to help with surges around the world," they said, including in India and Iraq as well as the West Bank and Gaza.

I'm not impressed. If 46 were a real president, he'd have said only countries whose leaders are "nice" to him would get doses, just as 45 made governors grovel for PPE, ventilators and other supplies last spring.

Can we make the banhammer portion of the new covid board retroactive to today?

I was hoping that we'd prioritize Canada + Mexico + Central America to improve our nation's security. It's interesting that they went with the smorgasbord option.

I hadn't seen that discussed, Ska. What you're saying does make sense.

I came up with it in my brain. If I was in charge I would want healthy, stable neighbors with awesome economies so that we could do business with them. Or a wall, I guess, to keep the Canadians out.

I actually thought this also.  It's a result of a teleconference I had with a Mexico customer about 6-7 weeks ago.  They thought the USA would supply excess vaccines to Mexico because it would be in the best interest of both countries due to the large amount of industrial border traffic.  They thought at minimum the USA should rapidly vaccinate Mexican citizens along the border.
FWIW

Whoa .. my village is up to 97.8% vaccinated. 

I didn't think you could get 14,000 people to agree that water is wet.

Not really .. 14% are over 65 .. 12% are 55-65.  Pretty standard distribution, may even skew young.

My 12 year old got his 2nd yesterday at 9:30am.  Was fine until 9pm last night and then got hit by a ton of bricks.  Stayed home from school today, just got out of bed.  Seems a little better now.

Ouch.  So .. my 12 and 14 year olds got #1 three weeks ago Sunday.  I'd rather have them get the shot Saturday, so if they're sick, it'd be Sunday and not a school day.

Think they'd give a shot after 20 days instead of 21?

Walgreens wouldn't let me schedule it for 20 days. But not sure if I would have fudged the first shot date what would have happened if we showed up and said oops.
