Doctors raise alarm about health effects of continued coronavirus shutdown: ‘Mass casualty incident’
By Tyler Olson | Fox News
More than 600 doctors signed onto a letter sent to President Trump Tuesday pushing him to end the “national shutdown” aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus, calling the widespread state orders keeping businesses closed and kids home from school a “mass casualty incident” with “exponentially growing health consequences.”
The letter outlines a variety of consequences that the doctors have observed resulting from the coronavirus shutdowns, including patients missing routine checkups that could detect things like heart problems or cancer, increases in substance and alcohol abuse, and increases in financial instability that could lead to “[p]overty and financial uncertainty,” which “is closely linked to poor health.”
“We are alarmed at what appears to be the lack of consideration for the future health of our patients,” the doctors say in their letter. “The downstream health effects … are being massively under-estimated and under-reported. This is an order of magnitude error.”

FLORIDA BAR OWNERS PLAN PROTESTS TO REOPEN BUSINESSES AMID CORONAVIRUS SHUTDOWN
The letter continues: “The millions of casualties of a continued shutdown will be hiding in plain sight, but they will be called alcoholism, homelessness, suicide, heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure. In youths it will be called financial instability, unemployment, despair, drug addiction, unplanned pregnancies, poverty, and abuse.
“Because the harm is diffuse, there are those who hold that it does not exist. We, the undersigned, know otherwise.”
The letter comes as the battle over when and how to lift coronavirus restrictions continues to rage on cable television, in the courts, in protests and among government officials. Those for lifting the restrictions have warned about the economic consequences of keeping the shutdowns in effect. Those advocating a more cautious approach say that having more people out and about will necessarily end with more people becoming infected, causing what National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci warned in a Senate hearing last week would be preventable “suffering and death.”
But these doctors point to others that are suffering, not from the economy or the virus, but simply from not being able to leave home. The doctors’ letter lists a handful of patients by their initials and details their experiences.
“Patient E.S. is a mother with two children whose office job was reduced to part-time and whose husband was furloughed,” the letter reads. “The father is drinking more, the mother is depressed and not managing her diabetes well, and the children are barely doing any schoolwork.”
“Patient A.F. has chronic but previously stable health conditions,” it continues. “Her elective hip replacement was delayed, which caused her to become nearly sedentary, resulting in a pulmonary embolism in April.”

Deranged Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski faces intense backlash after vowing to get Trump removed from Twitter

Morning Joe ’ s Mika Brzezinski faces intense backlash after vowing to get Trump removed from Twitter The “ tolerant ” Left ’ s answer to everything is censorship and silencing of dissenting viewpoints .
MSNBC ’ s “ Morning Joe ” co-host Mika Brzezinski had an emotional meltdown on Twitter today after President Donald Trump recently accused her husband and co-host , Joe Scarborough , of murder involving his former 27-year-old intern who died in Scarborough ’ s congressional office in 2001 .
Authorities have long-said they did not expect foul play in the intern ’ s death and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump has repeatedly tweeted that a “ Cold Case ” should be opened , and has posed the question , “ Did he get away with murder ?
” If anything , one would think Mika would welcome a thorough re-investigation into the matter so her husband can get his name cleared in the forum of public opinion .
Instead , Brzezinski took to Twitter today and announced she would be “ speaking to the manager ” about Trump—and , as a result , she ’ s been blasted for her behavior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ I will be reaching out to head of twitter about their policies being violated every day by President Tump .

Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski faces intense backlash after vowing to get Trump removed from Twitter The “tolerant” Left’s answer to everything is censorship and silencing of dissenting viewpoints. By LifeZette, May 20, 2020 MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski had an emotional meltdown on Twitter today after President Donald Trump recently accused her husband and co-host, Joe Scarborough, of murder involving his former 27-year-old intern who died in Scarborough’s congressional office in 2001. Authorities have long-said they did not expect foul play in the intern’s death and ruled it as accidental; however, President Trump has repeatedly tweeted that a “Cold Case” should be opened, and has posed the question, “Did he get away with murder?” If anything, one would think Mika would welcome a thorough re-investigation into the matter so her husband can get his name cleared in the forum of public opinion. Instead, Brzezinski took to Twitter today and announced she would be “speaking to the manager” about Trump—and, as a result, she’s been blasted for her behavior by multiple Twitter users. Brzezinski tweeted: “I will be reaching out to head of twitter about their policies being violated every day by President Tump. Hope my call is taken. Please retweet if you agree”
I will be reaching out to head of twitter about their policies being violated every day by President Tump. Hope my call is taken. Please retweet if you agree — Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) May 20, 2020
Twitter users immediately began to respond to Brzezinski, dubbing her as a “Karen.” (For those who may not be aware, the term “Karen” is used to describe bossy, nosy liberal women who try and get others in trouble or silence people.) One user responded, “In the fight against Karens, Mika is the final form boss of them all.”

Democratic senators release letter warning Israel against annexation By Jewish Insider, May 21, 2020 On Thursday, a group of Democratic senators released a letter they have been working on for weeks, warning Israeli leaders against efforts against unilaterally annexing portions of the West Bank. The letter, signed by 18 Democratic senators and authored by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Tim Kaine (D-VA), is a watered-down version of the letter the trio drafted and distributed to fellow senators earlier this month. The initial draft threatened that unilateral annexation would end bipartisan congressional support for Israel.

Dick Durbin (D-IL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tom Udall (D-NM) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR). A second draft of the letter, which softened the original language, was circulated among Senate offices and gained additional signatories. The letter released on Thursday appears to have been further revised. The second draft of the letter suggested that annexation would “undermine” the close relationship between the two nations. The final letter added that “unilateral annexation puts both Israel’s security and democracy at risk.” The last paragraph of the finalized letter, which was addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz, includes a warning that “If you move forward with unilateral annexation, we would not support that action.” Both prior versions of the letter read “If you move forward with unilateral annexation, we could not support that action.” The final letter’s signatories, in addition to the original 10, include Ed Markey (D-MA), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Tom Carper (D-DE), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Ben Cardin (D-MD), who did not sign on to the letter, told Jewish Insider earlier this month: “I don’t think it is helpful for us to sow dissension in the United States as it relates to the support for Israel.” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) issued her own letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the text of which was released last week.

Ron DeSantis: Florida ‘lifting all restrictions on youth activities’
This includes summer camps.
School may be out, but summer camp is back in.
Tampa Bay May 22, 2020:
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday that he was ending all restrictions on youth activities across the state, including camps and youth sports. The declaration was the governor’s latest move to wake Florida from its coronavirus-induced economic slumber.
However, the Republican governor said he would not prevent municipalities from imposing more restrictive rules.
“We believe that this makes sense based on the data and observed experience. We are not going to be instituting a lot of rules, or really any rules,” DeSantis said Friday, noting the Florida Department of Health would likely post a list of best practices to its website. “At the end of the day, we trust parents to be able to make decisions in conjunction with physicians.”
DeSantis’ announcement, which came at a news conference in Jacksonville, dovetailed with the plans of some Tampa Bay area officials, and conflicted with others.
Last week, Hillsborough County’s Department of Parks and Recreation cancelled its series of summer camps.
Hillsborough Commission Chairman Les Miller Jr. said the county was awaiting the official executive order from the governor’s office before deciding its next step. As of late Friday, DeSantis’ office had yet to post the executive order. Miller said county officials would follow the order. Pinellas officials said Friday they have a similar plan.
Miller, however, noted it could be difficult for Hillsborough to open its camps with additional potential restrictions such as social distancing, limited group sizes or masks.
“We’d have to put a lot of things in place before we open up the gates and say, “Come on in,’” said Miller.
On Thursday, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor announced the city was opening its summer camps starting June 1.
“We’re continuing ahead with our summer school because people can’t get back to work if they don’t have some type of care for their children,” Mayor Jane Castor said on a Cafe Con Tampa Facebook live stream Friday. “And so we realized that and we’re going to open up our summer camps.”
Ashley Bauman, Castor’s spokeswoman, said DeSantis’ announcement had little to do with the city’s plans to reopen summer camps because the city considers camps to be child care. That type of care was never banned under the governor’s previous restrictions, Bauman said.
Later Friday, Castor said in a statement she would “wholeheartedly support” the governor’s decision to reopen youth sports, provided it was done safely.
St. Petersburg announced last week that its summer camps will proceed at a limited capacity.
A spokeswoman for YMCA of the Suncoast and the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA said the organizations would wait until the full executive order had been released to comment.

DeSantis contended that youth activities — schools, most notably — were closed in the first place because, in the early days of the pandemic, it was believed children would spread the disease to other, more vulnerable populations.
But children haven’t turned out to be very effective spreaders of the illness, the governor argued Friday.

“The data is pretty clear that, for whatever reason, kids don’t seem to get infected at the same rates that some other adults get infected,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis also noted that children are much less likely to face serious consequences from the novel coronavirus. In Florida, five in six coronavirus deaths have come from people 65 and over. Zero people under 25 have died from the disease, DeSantis no

HCQ breakthrough: ICMR finds it’s effective in preventing coronavirus, expands its use
Three studies find that hydroxychloroquine reduces chances of contracting Covid, so ICMR allows more frontline workers to take it as a preventive drug.
By Himani Chandna
New Delhi: The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the country’s apex body in the field, has found that consuming the drug hydroxychloroquine reduces the chances of getting infected with Covid-19.
As a result, ICMR released an advisory Friday to expand the usage of HCQ — an anti-malarial drug — as a preventive treatment against the novel coronavirus.
The conclusion has been drawn on the basis of three studies conducted by the ICMR.
The advisory suggests surveillance workers, paramilitary and police personnel, as well as medical staff working in non-Covid hospitals and blocks to start consuming the pill as “preventive therapy”.
ICMR had issued an advisory to begin using HCQ in March, but it had drawn criticism for lacking scientific evidence that the drug works against the novel coronavirus.
The studies
According to the advisory, the premier health body undertook investigation at three central government hospitals in New Delhi. While it did not reveal the names of the hospitals, it said the investigation indicates that “amongst healthcare workers involved in Covid-19 care, those on HCQ prophylaxis were less likely to develop SARS-CoV-2 infection, compared to those who were not on it”.
The advisory also states that the National Institute of Virology in Pune has found in laboratory testing that HCQ reduces the viral load.
The ICMR also analysed data collected previously, known as retrospective case-control analysis, and found “a significant” relationship between “the number of doses taken and frequency of occurrence of Covid-19 infection in symptomatic healthcare workers who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection”.
It further said “the benefit was less pronounced in healthcare workers caring for a general patient population”.
Another observational study was conducted among 334 healthcare workers at the country’s largest public hospital, New Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The 248 workers who took HCQ as preventive drug for an average of six weeks had lower incidence of the infection than those not taking the pill.
Which workers will use it now?
Based on the findings of the studies, the government has decided to administer the drug as a ‘prophylaxis’ or preventive therapy to asymptomatic healthcare workers working in non-Covid hospitals as well as non-Covid blocks of hospitals earmarked for Covid treatment.
Asymptomatic frontline workers, such as surveillance workers deployed in containment zones, as well as paramilitary and police personnel involved in Covid-related activities will be asked to pop HCQ pills.
Until now, only high-risk individuals, including asymptomatic healthcare workers involved in containment and treatment of Covid-19 patients, and asymptomatic household contacts of laboratory-confirmed cases, were being administered the drug. They will continue to consume the drug.
While the dosage will remain the same as before, eight weeks, the ICMR advisory suggests that it can be used beyond that period as well, but with close monitoring.
“With available evidence for its safety and beneficial effect as a prophylactic drug against SARS-CoV-2 during the earlier recommended 8 weeks period, the experts further recommended for its use beyond 8 weeks on weekly dosage with strict monitoring of clinical and ECG parameters, which would also ensure that the therapy is given under supervision,” it stated.
“In clinical practice, HCQ is commonly prescribed in a daily dose of 200mg to 400mg for treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus for prolonged treatment periods with good tolerance,” the advisory added.
Discontinue if ‘rare side effects’ are noted
The ICMR had earlier announced that some side effects, such as abdominal pain and nausea, have been observed in healthcare workers who were administered HCQ.
The anti-malaria drug is often blamed for triggering irregular heartbeat.
However, in the final results of the studies (HCQ prophylaxis among 1,323 healthcare workers), the ICMR found mild adverse effects such as nausea in 8.9 per cent workers, abdominal pain in 7.3 per cent, vomiting in 1.5 per cent, low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) in 1.7 per cent and cardio-vascular effects in 1.9 per cent.
The advisory states the drug should be discontinued if it causes the “rare” side effects related to the heart, such as cardiomyopathy, a disease which makes it harder for heart to pump blood to the entire body, and heart-rate disorders.
The advisory mentions that HCQ, in rare cases, can cause visual disturbance, including “blurring of vision, which is usually self-limiting and improves on discontinuation of the drug”.
ICMR has clarified that “for the above cited reasons — heart and vision — the drug has to be given under strict medical supervision with an informed consent”.

pamelagellerreport--2020-05-22--‘Many, Many Others’ Affected by Obama-Era Surveillance

From the Wall Street Journal editorial board : The larger truth here is now undeniable : The Obama Administration spied on the political competition , it continued that spying even after Mr. Trump was elected , and then it tried to cover up what it had done .
If Mr. Trump had done anything remotely similar , folks would be calling to bring back the guillotine ( WSJ ) .
Peter Kirsanow notes “ the mainstream media , who ’ ve suddenly become invincibly incurious about Russia-related matters , have posed not one question , either directly or indirectly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ players in the scandal reported : Barack Obama ” ( National Review ) .
One reporter who did cover it , Catherine Herridge , was attacked by the rest ( NY Post ) .
‘ Many , Many Others ’ Affected by Obama-Era Surveillance , Says Former CBS Reporter Sharyl Attkisson Four years after the intelligence community began to surveil some of President Donald Trump ’ s campaign officials , details of what that surveillance entailed are still emerging .
The Justice Department is still waiting on U.S. Attorney John Durham to finish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assigned it a new nickname : “ Obamagate.
” For many observers , the idea that the intelligence community would flout certain rules in order to investigate American citizens is news .
But for former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson , “ Obamagate ” is just the latest development in a nearly decade-long battle .
“ I would say I may not be one of the first victims , but I am one of the first people who was able to identify myself as a target of illegal spying under the Obama administration , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this week .
“ I believe many , many others were spied on but do not know .
It was only thanks to help from intelligence contacts that I even learned that government agents were spying on me .
Otherwise , I never suspected it or would have known.
” Attkisson has long asserted that the feds wrongfully surveilled her electronic devices from 2011-14 , part of an operation tied to her reporting on the Justice Department ’ s botched “ Fast and Furious ” gun-running scheme and , later , on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Benghazi , Libya .
A three-judge panel voted last year to dismiss a lawsuit she had filed over the issue , but in January , Attkisson moved to reopen the case , telling the court that a whistleblower had provided new information .
That information implicated five specific individuals , according to court filings — including Rod Rosenstein , a familiar target of Trump ’ s grievances .
Court filings allege Rosenstein , who served as the Obama administration ’ s U.S. attorney for Maryland , “ ordered the unlawful surveillance and hacking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( He subsequently served as Trump ’ s deputy attorney general , a capacity in which he appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Trump ’ s staffers . )
Rosenstein has denied the charges , arguing that the case should not be allowed to proceed based on information from an anonymous informant .
“ Nowhere do the Attkissons provide any more information to credit their accusations based on this supposed anonymous source , ” Rosenstein ’ s attorneys wrote in an April motion to dismiss the case .
“ Not who communicated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ received information from that person , where that person worked … or what that person knows about the alleged ‘ incursions ’ into the plaintiffs ’ electronic devices.
” Despite Rosenstein ’ s departure from the Justice Department last year , conservatives have had issues with the way the department has been managed under Attorney General William Barr .
Those fault lines became more visible on Monday , when Barr said he didn ’ t expect Durham ’ s review to involve the charge that either President Barack Obama or former Vice President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told reporters later in the day that he was “ a little surprised by that statement.
” Attkisson said the department has a tendency to protect its own regardless of which president is in power .
While she declined to criticize Barr specifically , she highlighted that the problem included former Attorney General Jeff Sessions , who resigned in 2018 and is presently running for his old Senate seat in Alabama — without Trump ’ s support .

From the Wall Street Journal editorial board: The larger truth here is now undeniable: The Obama Administration spied on the political competition, it continued that spying even after Mr. Trump was elected, and then it tried to cover up what it had done. If Mr. Trump had done anything remotely similar, folks would be calling to bring back the guillotine (WSJ). Peter Kirsanow notes “the mainstream media, who’ve suddenly become invincibly incurious about Russia-related matters, have posed not one question, either directly or indirectly, to the person to whom all the players in the scandal reported: Barack Obama” (National Review). One reporter who did cover it, Catherine Herridge, was attacked by the rest (NY Post).
‘Many, Many Others’ Affected by Obama-Era Surveillance, Says Former CBS Reporter Sharyl Attkisson
By Rudy Takala, Mediate, May 21st, 2020, 4:44 pm
Four years after the intelligence community began to surveil some of President Donald Trump’s campaign officials, details of what that surveillance entailed are still emerging. The Justice Department is still waiting on U.S. Attorney John Durham to finish investigating. The president this month even assigned it a new nickname: “Obamagate.”
For many observers, the idea that the intelligence community would flout certain rules in order to investigate American citizens is news. But for former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, “Obamagate” is just the latest development in a nearly decade-long battle.
“I would say I may not be one of the first victims, but I am one of the first people who was able to identify myself as a target of illegal spying under the Obama administration,” Attkisson told Mediaite in an interview this week. “I believe many, many others were spied on but do not know. It was only thanks to help from intelligence contacts that I even learned that government agents were spying on me. Otherwise, I never suspected it or would have known.”
Attkisson has long asserted that the feds wrongfully surveilled her electronic devices from 2011-14, part of an operation tied to her reporting on the Justice Department’s botched “Fast and Furious” gun-running scheme and, later, on the 2012 attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. A three-judge panel voted last year to dismiss a lawsuit she had filed over the issue, but in January, Attkisson moved to reopen the case, telling the court that a whistleblower had provided new information.
That information implicated five specific individuals, according to court filings — including Rod Rosenstein, a familiar target of Trump’s grievances. Court filings allege Rosenstein, who served as the Obama administration’s U.S. attorney for Maryland, “ordered the unlawful surveillance and hacking” of Attkisson’s devices. (He subsequently served as Trump’s deputy attorney general, a capacity in which he appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Trump’s staffers.)
Rosenstein has denied the charges, arguing that the case should not be allowed to proceed based on information from an anonymous informant. “Nowhere do the Attkissons provide any more information to credit their accusations based on this supposed anonymous source,” Rosenstein’s attorneys wrote in an April motion to dismiss the case. “Not who communicated with the individual, how the plaintiffs received information from that person, where that person worked … or what that person knows about the alleged ‘incursions’ into the plaintiffs’ electronic devices.”
Despite Rosenstein’s departure from the Justice Department last year, conservatives have had issues with the way the department has been managed under Attorney General William Barr. Those fault lines became more visible on Monday, when Barr said he didn’t expect Durham’s review to involve the charge that either President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden had acted criminally. Trump told reporters later in the day that he was “a little surprised by that statement.”
Attkisson said the department has a tendency to protect its own regardless of which president is in power. While she declined to criticize Barr specifically, she highlighted that the problem included former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who resigned in 2018 and is presently running for his old Senate seat in Alabama — without Trump’s support.
“Prior to becoming attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions told an acquaintance he was well aware of what had happened to me with the government computer intrusions, and that it was shameful,” Attkisson told Mediaite. “But when he became attorney general, the Justice Department continued using taxpayer funds to fight my case. Numerous members of Congress for years, including several of them recently, have asked the FBI and Justice Department for information about the case, under two presidents, multiple attorneys general and multiple FBI directors, but they continue to get stiff-armed.”
It will also be at least another month until the judiciary decides if new facts will be allowed to emerge. The court hearing the case suspended operations in March as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and is not set to reopen until mid-to-late June.
Attkisson said it would be appropriate for Trump to weigh in on the matter and to direct his Justice Department to examine other Americans who may have been the subject of surveillance in recent years.
“Certainly he is entitled to give direction to his Justice Department, as all presidents do, and convey priorities,” she said. “It seems to me that there are dishonest actors who have tried to convince him that he is not entitled to do these things. I do think somebody at the Justice Department should review the forensic evidence proving the government source of the intrusions, if there were any doubt, offer an immediate apology, stop fighting the lawsuit, begin an honest investigation as to who was responsible and who else was spied on.”

Why lump “ violent action ” in with “ hate speech ” ?
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg urged the council members to vote for this resolution , to which they obediently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ approve it .

San Antonio City Council Denounces The Utterance of Chinese Flu “Hate Speech”
By Allan Wall, News With Views, May 15th, 2020
Freedom of speech is under attack in our country.
[….]
According to an article on News 4 San Antonio, “City Council unanimously passed a resolution that denounces the use of terms like ‘Chinese virus’ and ‘Kung Fu Virus’ as San Antonio continues to fight against the spread of COVID-19.”
So the City Council of a major American city “denounces” calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus” even though the virus came from China.
The article goes on to report that “The resolution condemns any hate speech, violent action and the ‘spread of misinformation related to COVID-19.’ ”
Notice how the concepts of “hate speech” (defined by whom?) is placed next to “violent action”.
Any sort of “violent action” is already covered by laws against assault and battery, vandalism and murder. Why lump “violent action” in with “hate speech”?
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg urged the council members to vote for this resolution, to which they obediently responded by voting 11 to 0 to approve it.
Last year, the same mayor campaigned to get a Chick-fil-A restaurant kicked out of a contract at San Antonio’s airport. Thankfully, Nirenberg wasn’t successful, but it shows where his heart is. (For my previous articles on the ongoing Chick-fil-A imbroglio, , click here, here and here.
By following a link on the previously-linked News 4 San Antonio article, you can see the actual resolution. Here are a few gems from that:
“WHEREAS, COVID-19 is a public health issue, not a racial, religious or ethnic one, and the deliberate use of terms such as ‘Chinese virus’ or ‘Kung Fu virus’ to describe COVID-19 only encourages hate crimes and incidents against Asians and further spreads misinformation at a time when communities should be working together to get through this crisis;…”
Note how the resolution affirms that just saying “Chinese virus” to refer to COVID-19 “only encourage hate crimes and incidents against Asians…”
It’s rather amazing when you think about it. The next “Whereas” says that “the Jewish community has been targeted with blame, hate, antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about their creating, spreading and profiting from COVID-19”.
What does saying “Chinese virus” have to do with that?
Any real violence perpetrated against anyone ought to be punished, and it’s already illegal. What we have in this resolution is an attempt to discourage freedom of speech.
The resolution declares that “The City of San Antonio denounces antisemitism, anti-Asian bigotry, and all hateful speech, violent action and the spread of misinformation related to COVID-19 that casts blame, promotes racism or discrimination or harms the City of San Antonio Asian and Pacific Islander, Jewish, immigrant or other communities.”
Notice how it combines “violent action” and “hateful speech”. Once again, who defines “hateful speech”?
What about “the spread of misinformation”? After all, even experts don’t agree on COVID-19 policy.
What about “casting blame”? Does that mean you can’t criticize the Communist Chinese government for its handling of the Coronavirus, nor the World Health Organization?
How about Democratic politicians who “cast blame” on Trump’s handling of the crisis? Would they be covered by this? Probably not, if they’re anti-Trump.
Maybe this resolution doesn’t amount to much in the big scheme of things, but it’s an example of a dangerous way of thinking.

The 59-year-old mayor, who spends his time in crowded parks and went to the gym in violation of his own rules, was roundly criticized for separating out Jewish people in his statement. Alas, it appears he has not yet learned his lesson.
On Monday, de Blasio posted a tweet alerting his followers to the fact that the New York Police Department had shuttered a Yeshiva — a Jewish seminary — for conducting classes with dozens of people. The politician went on to say his administration has issued a cease-and-desist order “and will make sure we keep our communities and our kids safe.”
Political strategist Liz Mair asked de Blasio why he put specific emphasis on using the word “Yeshiva” instead of just writing “school.”
“You keep falling into this trap of singling out Jewish people and things and using phraseology that makes it clear you’re doing so,” she wrote. “This is not a good idea or a good look.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) condemned de Blasio’s “gleeful tweet about sending cops after Jews” and urged the Department of Justice to “investigate to make sure he’s not violating constitutionally guaranteed religious liberties.”
Following de Blasio’s first tweet, Jonathan Greenblatt, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, called out the mayor for seemingly “scapegoating Jews.”
“There are [more than one million] Jewish people in [New York City],” he wrote. “The few who don’t social distance should be called out — but generalizing against the whole population is outrageous, especially when so many are scapegoating Jews.
