Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Friday that American political leaders are “overstating the danger” of coronavirus to most Americans while “underestimating” the economic “carnage” that lockdowns nationwide are causing. Toomey, a key U.S. senator from a Rust Belt battleground state, conducted this interview with Breitbart News after rolling out a plan to much more quickly reopen Pennsylvania than the plan the state’s Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf has begun. Toomey, a widely respected Republican who serves alongside a Democrat

Absolutely! If we shut down the country on the original data which was terribly flawed, why slow down the recovery based on that same flawed data?

Totally agree. Protect the elderly (especially those in nursing homes!) and people with risk factors. Free the rest of us.

The Red States have opened.. and have plans in place.. Gov Whitmer of Michigan has a preamble to obsolescence.. she moves the bar, trying to expand emergency power-
But-PDJT made clear- it was a state’s rights issue. Where fed can interject rule would be on supply chain of food,energy, or any national interest.

Since when does the "opening" of privately owned businesses depend on the consent of government ? Is this our first 5 year plan comrades ?

All of our immune systems are dropping due to the isolation and constant germ free environment.
Those who are afraid can stay home. No one should be forced to stay home!

People have been terrified by watching the NYC-centric news stories, and they have heard the Fergusson models which have been wildly inflated for every major epidemic in the past 20 years or so.
If all you do is watch NYC reports, you'll think THAT calamity is about to doom you, too.
One day in NH, I heard a news report which said we had passed a milestone in coronavirus cases: 1,000. One thousand. At that point we had 53 deaths. We are above 100, now. Just barely. We are sorry for any deaths.
Do we get daily infection and death rates for the flu? Let's see what that is. This is not to diminish the horribleness of covid. but we have allowed some eccentric or wacky statistician come up with projections which have been and are wrong.
Do we get daily death tolls for drug overdoses? other illnesses? accidents? Let's do this.
And don't forget to wash those hands!!! (can't believe that people did not know they need to wash their hands...)
Then, let's analyze why big Democrat-run cities have such high infection rates.
And, now, we must fight off the oncoming Dem attacks of blame on POTUS for the smashed economy and the pandemic itself. They are lying liars who can't stop lying, because the truth will invalidate their stupid, arrogant, deceptive selves.

#8 - Casinos can reopen, yet no word of churches.
I just received an email that there will be a demonstration at St. Mary’s Cathedral’s plaza in San Francisco on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima (May 13th) at 3:00 pm for a prayer rally for the restoration of public Mass.
CA state Senator Gove has started a petition to Governor Newsom, requesting that he incorporate churches into Phase 2 of the plan for reopening California. Currently the Governor has the opening of churches in Phase 3, which would mean no Mass for months to come! Californians can go to his website and sign his petition.
You can read a detailed plan on how churches CAN reopen safely and to sign a petition directed at our bishops to reopen our churches.

As I have previously noted, Pennsylvania has a unique problem - a health commissioner who was a man, who married a woman, who sired two children, and then in 2001, while teaching psychiatry at Penn State's Medical School, inexplicably located in Hershey, Pa,the man decided he was a woman, divorced his wife, went full tranny...and is now the ugliest 'woman' in the world.
Dr. Rachel Levine, our tranny nanny, has the ear of Governor Wolf, and has called the shots in strange ways. The latest strange order has to do with dentistry. Dentists may become active again, but cannot use high speed drills. (Low speed drills are as painful as Dr. Levine's physical appearance.)
It is a weird time to be a Pennsylvanian.
