It’s time to take “medical”** action:


1. Enforce masks with large fines and jail time

2. Close wineries, restaurants, hotels, breweries, concert venues and anything else related to fun, socializing and tourism and KEEP THEM CLOSED.

3. Close Schools

4. Raise taxes

5. Hire tons of police


**medical means political with regard to Covid-19


This is Newsom’s state. He’s in charge of us, our property and our livelihoods. If he says it’s time to cut overhead (we are overhead in Newsom’s state) then it’s your job to line up with the rest of the herd and get what’s coming to you.


Problem solved.

Is there a way to have effective virus checkpoints, and adequate testing, on the main roadways into the County?

Following a 3 day SURGE??? Really? Surge is defined as: a sudden powerful forward or upward movement,

They make is sound like bad news, a huge surge in confirmed cases without corresponding upticks in hospitalizations and deaths is very good news! It means the mortality rate for this virus is much less than previously thought.

Gee, it seems to go by population density, who would have thought that packing people together as closely as possible would be a bad thing?
