Kansas’ Republican congressional leaders overturned an order issued by the Democratic governor limiting church gatherings of more than 10 people on Wednesday, with Easter just days away.
There aren’t as many of them, but Kansas man is giving Florida man a run for his money.
Actually I’m reminded of the Plains natives, pushed to the brink by war and encroachment, giving themselves over to the Ghost Dance movement because what the hell, not much is left but magic. These people are obviously convinced that nothing bad can happen to you in a church.
Nothing but sodbusters…
Saw something recently that in 161 agricultural counties in Red States, there were a GRAND TOTAL of two (2) ICU beds.
It’s ok, they’ll just fly their sick to Florida, who will welcome them with open arms.
I question whether people graduate med school, pack up the Subaru, and say, “Now I can realize my dreams of going to live in Kansas.”
He dismissed stories about COVID-19 clusters springing up within church congregations, saying that those outbreaks seemed to occur before the governor issued a stay-at-home order.
‘k’
In Matthew Jesus is said to have criticized the spiritually proud who insist on praying loudly in the temples and in the town squares.
Rather, he urged them to go home, close their door, and pray in private since, after all, “your Lord can hear you.”
If he were here today he would get crucified for that comment.
Only if North Dakota has no openings…
It’s a familiar story: lots of hospitals and doctors in urban areas; not so many in rural areas. We’ve been fortunate so far that there haven’t been that many cases west of Wichita (the really rural part of the state), and we’ve been fortunate that, as far as I can tell, people have done a really good job of social distancing–the guys bringing out groceries to your car for pick-up won’t even touch your car.
We’ve just had our one-thousandth case reported yesterday (most of the cases in the KC metro area and here in Wichita); 42 deaths in all as of 11:00 Central this morning. But I’ve heard no reports of hospitals or doctors saying they’re at the breaking point. I’d say we’ve done a really good job here with this, all things considered. But rural areas could be difficult to mitigate if it spreads out there.
Hell is desperately in need of additional space…
There’s been a caravan of Science and Covid deniers, profiteers, charlatans and GARGANTUAN Covidiot that is pushing at the door to hell…
Snark aside…a study in South Korea about “Super Spreaders”…SK church infected 5,016 people!
Sorry, Kansas. More dying for you. Enjoy struggling to breath. Don’t damage the ventilators because many others will need them thanks to you.
Idiots.
Zinc ka dinky a dee, ka zinc a dee ka zinc a do
What if they overdosed on Zinc?
Then you’d have to Barium!
This is just straight-up politics, I assure you. Susan Wagle, the Senate president, is running for the GOP nomination for Senate to take Pat Roberts’ seat. So, all this session, she has been a thorn in Kelly’s side; she’s behind the Senate’s delay in taking up the expanded Medicaid bill if the House doesn’t vote to have a constitutional amendment added to the primary ballot*** that states the KS constitution doesn’t guarantee a right to abortion. This, despite the fact that Medicaid expansion has strong bipartisan support here (well over 70% approval, last I saw). But all the GOPers are trying to show who’s more conservative than thou, so this is Wagle’s time to shine, she figures.
***To their credit, it’s moderate GOPers in the House that refuse to do this; they’d rather it appear on the November ballot (when, FYI, it’s all but certain to fail).
If it was a Mosque it would be a different story.
The state’s med school (the U. of Kansas) is forgiving their grads their med school debt if they’ll set up a practice in a rural part of the state for at least two years. So, some may be headed out that way . . .

They will hurt themselves.
And those with whom they get in contact.
Don’t be one of those. If I were a resident/neighbor/associate of any of them I would not choose to be near .
After the pallbearers Lithium up and carry them.
Then you can leave a Germanium bouquet.
