Nevada’s Democrat Governor Issues Emergency Order Barring Use of Anti-Malaria Drugs For Coronavirus Patients Nevada’s Governor Steve Sisolak (D) on Tuesday issued an emergency order barring the use of anti-malaria drugs such as chloroquine for Coronavirus patients. Last week Sisolak shut down casinos and only kept open essential businesses like grocery stores and health care facilities. In addition to barring the use of chloroquine for Coronavirus patients on Tuesday, Nevada’s governor also banned social gatherings of more than 10 people. The Associated Press reported (emphasis our own): LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada’s governor on Tuesday night issued an emergency order banning gatherings of more than 10 people in the state indoors or outdoors, a more aggressive move to try to stop the spread of the coronavrius. Sisolak said the order does not apply to private homes or the homeless, but includes places like social clubs, parks, libraries and sports fields. Sisolak signed an emergency order earlier Tuesday barring the use of anti-malaria drugs for someone who has the coronavirus. The order restricting chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine came after President Donald Trump touted the medication as a treatment and falsely stated that the Food and Drug Administration had just approved the use of chloroquine to treat patients infected with coronavirus. Sisolak said in a statement that there’s no consensus among experts or Nevada doctors that the drugs can treat people with COVID-19. Anyone who violates the order will be charged with at least a misdemeanor crime and it remains in place until April 16 (after Easter). President Trump on Saturday expressed optimism about two drugs that he said could be “one of the biggest game changers” in medicine – hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug used in the treatment and prevention of malaria. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that is used to treat many different types of infections in the respiratory system, eyes, ears, and skin, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. A 52-year-old Coronavirus victim recently said he expected to die but hydrochloroquine saved his life: ”An hour after an IV with the medicine, he says his heart felt like it was beating out of his chest. “They had to come in and get me calmed down and take care of me. I had another episode about two hours later where I just got to the point where I couldn’t breathe and my heart was pounding again so they gave me some Benadryl through the system and something else. I’m not sure what it was. It allowed me to go to sleep and when I woke up at exactly 4:45 in the morning, I woke up like nothing ever happened.”Miraculously, he’s since had no fever or pain, feels fine and he’s able to breathe again. “To me, there was no doubt in mind that I wouldn’t make it until morning,” Giardinieri said. “So to me the drug saved my life. … I just want everyone to know there’s an option.

Sims – Get America Moving Again: Why Trump Is Right to Re-Open the Economy
US President Donald Trump gestures as he arrives to speak during a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire on February 10, 2020.
By: Cliff Sims, Breitbart, March 24, 2020
President Donald Trump’s economic policies ushered in an economic boom the likes of which we had not seen in decades, if ever. Now, faced with a pandemic that has ground the world’s economy to a halt, the President faces the unenviable task of trying to head off an immediate public health crisis without inducing a long-term economic crisis that could be even more devastating to the well-being of the American people. So while it is important that the President continue receiving advice from medical experts, as he has been with Dr. Anthony Fauci and others, his recent comments make it clear that he is also smartly taking into account the human impact of the economic decisions he is facing.
This type of multivariate analysis is at the heart of every difficult decision a president has to make. While armchair analysts have the luxury of cherry-picking stats and facts to make their points, presidents have to weigh the broad real-world impact of everything they do. And when you’re making decisions that impact all 325 million American citizens–and billions of people all around the world–there are an infinite number of variables to consider.
Making these decisions must start with receiving good information, which he clearly is from the world-class experts he appointed to his coronavirus response team.
Unfortunately, the media has taken the opposite approach, inundating Americans with worst-case scenarios and doomsday predictions, often from people with a political ax to grind. For instance, Andy Slavitt, one of the architects of Obamacare, predicted all the nation’s hospitals would be overrun by March 23. Obviously that turned out to not even be remotely accurate.
New modeling from Oxford University’s Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Disease group, on the other hand, implies “that fewer than one in a thousand of those infected with Covid-19 become ill enough to need hospital treatment.” Nearly all deaths from the virus are happening to people with multiple morbidity factors.
Rather than shutting down the economy for months on end, these points suggest the government should focus on protecting the most vulnerable among us while empowering most Americans to get back to work, preserve millions of jobs, and jumpstart the economy.
This is exactly what the President was getting at when he tweeted, “the cure cannot be worse than the problem.” The virus has likely caused a recession. The government should not turn it into a depression by making decisions based on fear and panic. A temporary quarantine to protect the public is one thing, but enforcing long-term isolation for the entire country is a recipe for economic destruction from which we may never fully recover.
Just consider the fact that the government is about to inject trillions into an economy that has been on pause for a couple of weeks — and yet we are still facing a significant uptick in unemployment and the closing of thousands of small businesses. Just imagine what many more weeks or even months of this dynamic would look like. No government bailout could ever be enough. Only the reopening of the American free-market–the greatest economic engine the world has ever known–will ensure that we rise from the ashes.
Such moves should obviously be done in the safest way possible. Some recent suggestions have included the continued isolation of older Americans and those with pre-existing conditions that put them at greater risk. The public health impact of every idea should be weighed with the seriousness it deserves. But we must also weigh the human impact of lost jobs, lost homes and lost businesses–the elimination of the pursuit of happiness, as the founders put it. Economists, small business owners, and regular hard-working Americans should not be shouted down for being callous or unreasonable for pointing out the economic impact of the decisions that are being made.
During my time in the White House, I found the President to be extremely adept at listening to diverse opinions, weighing countless variables, and decisively making decisions that he believes are in the best interest of the American people.
He is now facing perhaps the most difficult decision of his presidency–will we accept economic defeat at the hands of this invisible enemy, or will we protect our people while also getting American moving again? I trust the President to make the right call.

New York state and city officials plan to close some streets in the nation’s largest city and may close parks and playgrounds there to contain the coronavirus outbreak as cases across the state surge to 30,811, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday. State and local officials are taking a tougher line to enforce social distancing recommendations. He said city residents aren’t following the state’s guidelines encouraging people to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from each other, which he said was “effective and necessary” to slow hospitalization rates. “The plan is going to pilot closing streets in New York City because we have much less traffic in New York City. We have many fewer vehicles in New York City,” he said at a press conference in Albany. He said that by opening the streets, fewer people will congregate in the parks. “People want to walk. They want to go out and get some air. You want a less dense area, so pilot closing streets to cars, opening streets to pedestrians.”
An empty playground is viewed on March 24, 2020 in New York City.
The state’s hospitalization rate is “moving faster than initial estimates,” he said, adding that health officials project that 140,000 people will be hospitalized with the coronavirus over the next 14 to 21 days. The state previously said it would need 110,000 beds for COVID-19 patients by early to mid-May. More than 3,800 people have already been hospitalized with COVID-19 across the state and 888 are in the ICU, Cuomo said. The Army Corps of Engineers is building several temporary hospitals to house up to 4,000 COVID-19 patients throughout the state, which has just 53,000 hospital beds. That still won’t be enough., the governor said. He also estimates the state will need 40,000 ICU beds at the peak of the outbreak. It currently has only 3,000. Cuomo encouraged residents to seek out counseling if they are feeling anxious, adding that the state has more than 6,000 mental health professionals on hand and is setting up a mental health hotline for residents. People shouldn’t “underestimate” the impact of “emotional trauma,” he said.

When young people understand the numbers , all hell is going to break loose .
Israel ’ s Defense Minister Posts Coronavirus Idea : Isolate the Elderly ; Let Rest Become Infected , Immune Israeli ’ s defense minister Naftali Bennet posted a video to social media on Friday suggesting that the country ’ s long-term strategy should involve most of the population becoming infected with , and immune to , coronavirus while isolating the elderly .
A vaccine would effectively achieve the same result , without people actually becoming sick , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year away , given the length of time it takes clinical trials — which have already started — to run their course .
The first step in Bennett ’ s plan , apparently , is to reduce the spread of coronavirus by practicing social distancing .
But that can not last forever , and pending the arrival of a vaccine , Bennett explained the next steps : The most important thing — more than general social distancing ; more than testing , testing , testing ; is to separate old people from younger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is when a grandma hugs her grandson .
Why is that ?
Because corona is a unique virus , in the sense that it ’ s way more lethal for old people than for young people .
In many countries , zero young people died .
Countries that many people died have 0 % or 0.1 % of folks under the age of 30 or 20 [ dead ] .
Where old people over the age of 80 and 70 , one out of five , one out of seven of them that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we need to do over the next period of time is take care of grandma and grandpa , but from far away .
Lots of WhatsApps and Skype , and you name it .
Bring them food , clean the box before you leave , and then , they take it [ into ] their house .
But do not enter the house : do not hug them , because you ’ re risking them .
Finally , people ask me : so will the old people have to be isolated forever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will happen over the next few months : gradually the rest of the population , want it or not , the rest of the population is going to get the coronavirus , most — the overwhelming majority of people that will get the coronavirus , won ’ t even know it .
It will take three or four weeks , they won ’ t know they have the virus , and by the end of those four weeks , they will be immune .
It will start with a tenth of a percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 20 % .
When it reaches just about 60 % , 70 % of the population that will be immune , the epidemic is over , and then grandma and grandpa can come out .
It might take a month , it might take two or three months , might take a bit more , but that ’ s the plan .
Good luck .
Take care of grandma and grandpa .

I agree. It’s rational. When young people understand the numbers, all hell is going to break loose.
Israel’s Defense Minister Posts Coronavirus Idea: Isolate the Elderly; Let Rest Become Infected, Immune
Israeli’s defense minister Naftali Bennet posted a video to social media on Friday suggesting that the country’s long-term strategy should involve most of the population becoming infected with, and immune to, coronavirus while isolating the elderly.
A vaccine would effectively achieve the same result, without people actually becoming sick, but that may be at least a year away, given the length of time it takes clinical trials — which have already started — to run their course.
The first step in Bennett’s plan, apparently, is to reduce the spread of coronavirus by practicing social distancing. But that cannot last forever, and pending the arrival of a vaccine, Bennett explained the next steps:

GOP senators flag ‘massive’ error in coronavirus bill they say would encourage layoffs
By Adam Shaw | Fox News | March 25, 2020:
Billions of dollars will be going to hospitals, states and small businesses; Mike Emanuel has the details from Capitol Hill.
Four Republican senators are warning that they will oppose fast-tracking the $2 trillion coronavirus response package unless a “massive drafting error” in the legislation, which they say would create an incentive for employers to lay off employees, is fixed.
“You want to destroy what’s left of the economy? Pass it the way it’s written,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a press conference. “If you want to help people, pay them their wages, but don’t pay them more not to work.”
The concern from Sens. Graham, Tim Scott, R-S.C., Ben Sasse, R-Neb., and Rick Scott, R-Fla., is that the current version could pay workers more in unemployment benefits than they’re currently making, by sticking a $600 per week payment on top of ordinary benefits that are calculated as a percentage of income. This could disrupt the labor market further, the lawmakers warn.
“A massive drafting error in the current version of the coronavirus relief legislation could have devastating consequences: Unless this bill is fixed, there is a strong incentive for employees to be laid off instead of going to work. This isn’t an abstract, philosophical point — it’s an immediate, real-world problem,” Tim Scott, Sasse and Graham said in a statement.

“This legislation would not stop at 100 percent of your income, this legislation would allow you in unemployment to make more than you do in employment,” Scott said. “We know that that is a drafting error and we are simply providing an amendment to fix that so you do not make more in unemployment than you do when you’re working.”

How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates.

As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case.
A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called COVID Act Now. The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response informed by best available data and modeling.”
An interactive map provides users a catastrophic forecast for each state, should they wait to implement COVID Act Now’s suggested strict measures to “flatten the curve.” But a closer look at how many of COVID Act Now’s predictions have already fallen short, and how they became a ubiquitous resource across the country overnight, suggests something more sinister.

By Christine Laila, March 24, 2020:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday afternoon when the host brought up Trump’s recent remarks suggesting bringing Americans out of quarantine and back to work.
“Well, even beyond Twitter, the President of the United States is signaling that he could open it up,” Bash said.
“What is your opinion on that?” Bash said pressing Pelosi.
“I don’t care! I don’t care! I don’t care!” Pelosi said as CNN’s Dana Bash brought up Trump’s plans to open America back up for business soon.
“It is not scientific based — he’s notion mongering,” Pelosi slurred.
Of course Pelosi doesn’t care about Americans going back to work. She wants America shut down while she holds the country hostage and tries to shove her Socialist wish list through Congress.

President Trump on Tuesday appeared on Fox News for a town hall to discuss his administration’s ongoing efforts to combat the Coronavirus.
Trump said he would likely open the country back up by Easter (April 12).
“I would love to have [the country] open by Easter,” Trump said. “It’s such an important day for other reasons.”


pamelagellerreport--2020-03-25--Far-Left ANTIFA says they’ll kill cops over lockdowns – “murdering pigs”

According to Michio Hasai of the NOQ Report , while millions of Americans are on edge over the Wuhan virus , subsequent economic downturn , and political responses to both that include “ stay at home ” mandates for many areas , unofficial domestic terrorist group ANTIFA has some members promising to turn violent as a result .
Andy Ngo , Editor-at-Large for The Post Millennial , has been the tip of the spear in outing ANTIFA for months .
He follows their moves and , perhaps more importantly , their Twitter accounts to discern their plans and expose their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be against fascism but has demonstrated the use of fascist tactics to promote their agenda .
Now , that agenda may include ( once again ) turning violent : “ At level 5 we suit up and fight back .
I ’ ll not be locked anywhere but a prison cell by murdering pigs free to come and go as they please while we are locked into our homes and neighborhoods .
Get ready… ” Ironically , while ANTIFA member Jaymie Jamison ( aka Nicholas James Armstrong ) is making his threats about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legally own a firearm , according to King County , Washington court records .
This is a developing story – Seattle area folks especially remain aware as you travel about for your work .
Law Enforcement Today has reported on the ridiculousness and violence of ANTIFA for years .
Last month , they were ( again ) causing major problems in Portland , Oregon .
Portland ’ s mayor is not going to do anything .
It is apparent that state officials aren ’ t either .
So , what now ?
Someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The domestic terrorist group Antifa is at it again .
They literally run the streets of Portland .
The police departments hands are tied from slowing them down .
In fact , on Saturday , the officers who tried to intervene were eventually chased away by Antifa members throwing eggs , rocks and bottles at the officers .
Members of the Portland Police Bureau went across the street and stayed there .
And as the police watch , powerless to act , Antifa members deface a war memorial with graffiti saying things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ All cops are bastards.
” But it gets worse than just the graffiti .
Independent journalist Brandon Brown was attacked for the second time in two months .
He was poked with umbrellas , pushed , grabbed , kicked , hit with rocks and eggs , and finally , he was sprayed in the face with “ bear spray , ” a form of mace intended to hurt and blind attacking bears .
It isn ’ t just in Portland .
Back in December in Seattle , at the same protest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had his equipment stolen , police were told to stand down .
Whenever you have some event that pertains to anything pro-police , or pro-Trump , or really anything that is a gathering of those right-of-center ; you can count on the likes of Antifa to make an appearance and act like buffoons .
Just yesterday in Seattle , Washington , Pro-Trump activists held a “ Mega MAGA March ” that was crashed by the soy-milk infused likes of Antifa .
In a video that was released by New2Share ’ s YouTube channel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re immediately regaled with some black clad protesters who are attempting to ignite a Blue Lives Matter flag directly in front of the police .
Despite the copious number of unsavory things said throughout the over nine-minute video that would make most cringe , there was a moment of levity when police sprayed the ignited flag ( and protesters ) with a flame retardant to stop the initial burning .
However , from that point on , the demonstrators become more aggressive , and more intolerant toward police and those in support of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those who were participating in the march , claiming that those who are in support of Trump are “ fascists ” and likened Trump to Hitler by referring to him as the “ fuhrer ” .
Sources tell Law Enforcement Today that the administration within the Seattle police department has made it very clear… officers are not to “ disrupt ” the protestors .
“ We ’ ve been instructed to let Antifa do their thing… up to and including physical violence .
We can only step in when people really start getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” said one officer , who spoke on the condition of anonymity .
At one point during the video , police were enforcing what is commonly known as a “ bike line ” to thwart the Antifa demonstrators from making their way into the conservative march .
Considering the amount of videos that have cropped up over the past 3 or 4 years , where leftists attacked conservatives for simply being conservative , police had no intention of Seattle hosting that kind of fray .
Apparently one social justice warrior during the video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breakdown , as that is the only way to logically describe the woman adorned in a green hoodie who was having a conniption episode .
While clamoring in cadence with a heard , but unseen , drum ; this “ brave ” young woman screamed about kids being put in cages and how we need to arrest our leaders .
The nonsensical rant was akin to when you deny your toddler candy at the checkout counter of a store .
At one point , cameras caught one of the Antifa members berating an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ They don ’ t give a f*** about you .
They hope we do some s*** to the cops .
You are their fodder.
” The Antifa member was likely implying that the conservatives like law enforcement getting assaulted by Antifa , because then conservative can say , “ look at what they did now ” .
However , conservatives don ’ t like being able to provide examples of extremism committed by Antifa , because even when they do , nothing much happens or changes .
If you ’ re like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch these kinds of videos and interactions and not get mad .
As a reformed felon , seeing innocent people being terrorized by black-clad goons in the streets evokes a feeling that makes me want to reconsider abiding by the laws governing assault and battery .
These peaceful marches and gatherings of conservatives , that are habitually being countered by Antifa , are becoming more and more violent .
So how are conservatives supposed to congregate without being harangued wherever they assemble : do we act in a way similar to those harassing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ road as we ’ ve done thus far ?
It ’ s impossible to really know how to move forward to allow peaceful gatherings to ensue for those right of center .
Centrists , libertarians , republicans and conservatives have every right to convene without having to worry about being screamed at for a red hat or a thin blue line shirt .
At the end of the day , people have to start fighting back against Antifa .

According to Michio Hasai of the NOQ Report, while millions of Americans are on edge over the Wuhan virus, subsequent economic downturn, and political responses to both that include “stay at home” mandates for many areas, unofficial domestic terrorist group ANTIFA has some members promising to turn violent as a result.
Andy Ngo, Editor-at-Large for The Post Millennial, has been the tip of the spear in outing ANTIFA for months. He follows their moves and, perhaps more importantly, their Twitter accounts to discern their plans and expose their radical ideology.
The group claims to be against fascism but has demonstrated the use of fascist tactics to promote their agenda.
Now, that agenda may include (once again) turning violent:
“At level 5 we suit up and fight back. I’ll not be locked anywhere but a prison cell by murdering pigs free to come and go as they please while we are locked into our homes and neighborhoods. Get ready…”
“Salish Sea Black Flag” is Jaymie Jamison aka Nicholas James Armstrong (the #AntifaTerrorist who has been Stalking, Assaulting and Harassing me for the last year).
Ironically, while ANTIFA member Jaymie Jamison (aka Nicholas James Armstrong) is making his threats about using rifles, he can’t legally own a firearm, according to King County, Washington court records.

Three arrests were made.
But it gets worse than just the graffiti. Independent journalist Brandon Brown was attacked for the second time in two months.

“We’ve been instructed to let Antifa do their thing… up to and including physical violence. We can only step in when people really start getting hurt. It’s unreal,” said one officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Every recorded interaction of the video showcased one very common theme: Antifa is not a tolerant group by any means. They call everyone who isn’t their ilk “fascists”, while literally employing the techniques that plagued Italy after the first world war. They converge and surround desolate people, attempt to intimidate them for not agreeing with them, and scream the obscenest things toward our men and women donning a uniform.

pamelagellerreport--2020-03-25--New Gallup Poll: 60% approve of president’s response to Coronavirus

WASHINGTON , D.C. — President Donald Trump may be enjoying a small rally in public support as the nation faces the COVID-19 pandemic .
Forty-nine percent of U.S. adults , up from 44 % earlier this month , approve of the job Trump is doing as president .

The Trump administration has received some criticism for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic — including that the president downplayed the threat , at least up until his nationally televised address on March 11 .
On March 16 , Trump acknowledged the seriousness of the situation by urging people to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people and to have workers and students stay home if possible .
The administration has had daily press conferences since then to update the nation on what the federal government is doing to address the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s latest approval rating suggest a presidential approval rally effect .

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump may be enjoying a small rally in public support as the nation faces the COVID-19 pandemic. Forty-nine percent of U.S. adults, up from 44% earlier this month, approve of the job Trump is doing as president. Trump also had 49% job approval ratings — the best of his presidency — in late January and early February around the time of the Senate impeachment trial that resulted in his acquittal.
Independents’ and Democrats’ approval of Trump’s performance has increased slightly since earlier this month, tying as the best he has registered to date among each group. The president’s approval rating among Republicans was already above 90%, and remains so — but is not currently his highest on record (94% in late January).

Trump’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic may be behind his higher overall approval rating. Americans give the president generally positive reviews for his handling of the situation, with 60% approving and 38% disapproving. Ninety-four percent of Republicans, 60% of independents and 27% of Democrats approve of his response.
The Trump administration has received some criticism for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic — including that the president downplayed the threat, at least up until his nationally televised address on March 11. On March 16, Trump acknowledged the seriousness of the situation by urging people to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people and to have workers and students stay home if possible. The administration has had daily press conferences since then to update the nation on what the federal government is doing to address the situation.
A Trump ‘Rally’?
Two aspects of Trump’s latest approval rating suggest a presidential approval rally effect. His rating shows a fairly sudden increase, and that increase is seen among both independents and Democrats — both highly unusual for Trump in particular.
Historically, presidential job approval has increased when the nation is under threat. Every president from Franklin Roosevelt through George W. Bush saw their approval rating surge at least 10 points after a significant national event of this kind. Bush’s 35-point increase after 9/11 is the most notable rally effect on record.
During these rallies, independents and supporters of the opposing party to the president typically show heightened support for the commander in chief.
Significant rally effects appear to be a relic of the past as political polarization in presidential approval ratings has reached new levels. Presidential approval ratings today are characterized by consistent, exceedingly low approval ratings from opponents of the president’s party. As a result, neither Barack Obama nor Trump saw rally effects as big as those of their predecessors, because their usual opponents were reluctant to approve of them regardless of what was happening in the country.
At most, Obama’s approval rating rose by seven points after U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011. (He had a smaller five-point rally in support after the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.)
Seven points is also the largest short-term increase in approval for Trump. His approval rating increased from 37% to 44% in February 2019 after the federal government shutdown ended and Trump touted U.S. economic gains in his State of the Union address. Trump’s job approval rating increased six points in April 2019 after special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump campaign ties with Russia officially concluded; at that time, Attorney General William Barr largely cleared the president of wrongdoing. Trump’s job approval rating also increased five points earlier this year when it was clear he would be acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial.
