“It’s good news that we know who has it”

Ah Pence, your glass is half full of water and half full of fluids drawn from the lungs of severely ill COVID patients. He has a happy middle ground.

Hmm. How long 'til they encourage everyone under 50 to stop wearing masks and help out with a little herd immunity? I mean, hey, it worked in Sweden!

“encouraging younger Americans to practice social distancing”

Because older Americans should mingle, go without masks and die earlier so no one has to worry about them anymore. Secret, that older crowd age may be lower than most think.

I and Mrs. VH should have been on the road to Santa Fe, NM, to visit my younger daughter for a weeks’ stay. However, thanks to the Abbott and Ducey Show, we have had to cancel our trip.

During a Wednesday press conference, the governor stated that the quarantine period will be voluntary, but there is still the possibility of enforcement. The requirement will apply to people traveling by plane or vehicle.

In her press conference, though not reported by KOB 4, she makes clear that the out-of-control virus in neighboring AZ and TX is a driving factor.

A mask mandate is absolutely necessary

Pence argued that’s why he and President Trump support efforts by governors in those states to modify or pause aspects of their reopening. Pence said that “it’s good news” that roughly half of the new coronavirus cases in the Sun Belt are younger Americans.

The Trumps have lost their mojo. They should have ordered a nationwide mask mandate and then sell red #MAGA masks.

And no the armed protesters in Michigan and elsewhere, would not have been upset, they would be in the streets hunting down libruls that are not wearing mask.

How disappointing it must be for Mike Pence to wake up every morning and remember “Oh, yeah, I’m Mike Pence.”

How hard he must work at being cluelessly obtuse, all the live long day.
