Supreme...
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), indicated that her state would not implement new coronavirus-related lockdown restrictions in response to a spike in new infections due to Republican-led lawsuits last year that challenged her constitutional authority to do so.
Speaking Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Whitmer explained to host Chuck Todd that the lawsuits had left her without the ability to unilaterally implement new COVID-19 lockdown measures shutting down businesses in the state
Michigan's Supreme Court ruled in October that Whitmer did not have the constitutional authority to continue extending a state of emergency declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic, under which Whitmer had imposed the state's stay-at-home orders. State health officials recorded more than 9,800 new cases of COVID-19 in Michigan on Friday, one of the highest single-day totals the state has seen since the beginning of the pandemic.
So the governors making up any decisions they want in violation of the constitution.
And that is the time to cry to Todd.... Just a thought.
Eric...
As he had said was his intention for years, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams entered the 2021 mayoral race last month as a top-tier Democratic primary candidate to replace the term-limited Mayor. he has an initial fundraising lead.
While Adams is widely considered among the early frontrunners, it’s impossible to make many intelligent predictions about the race that is about to unfold in a six-month sprint to the all-important June primary, with an incredibly diverse and still-growing field and a new balloting system, ranked-choice voting, set to debut.
Benefits...
Across the country, more faith-based groups are stepping up as vaccine sites, particularly in communities of color, which have been disproportionately hard hit by the novel coronavirus.
Churches have often been a cornerstone in the fight against inequities and a trusted source of information and guidance during troubled times. During the pandemic, vaccinations have become the latest public service in a health and economic crisis that has seen places of worship offer canned food, clothing, housing and other assistance.
Federal and state officials are scrambling to distribute millions of vaccines as the death toll from COVID-19 continues to climb, reaching 600,000. Less than 14% of the U.S. population has received the vaccine, and preliminary data suggests people of color are being vaccinated at lower rates than white Americans.
So why we Merge a healthcare issue with a religion?
When the CDC say "Benefits out weigh the Risks" who is to decide regarding the risks? The Ministers, the Politicians or the Doctors?
Bottoms...
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Thursday she won't seek a second term, an election-year surprise that marks a sharp turnabout for the city's second Black mayor who months ago was among those President Biden considered as a possible running mate. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the decision "stunning."
An emotional Bottoms held a press conference on Friday explaining her decision. She said that she had written two potential letters to the people of Atlanta — one announcing that she would remain in the mayoral race, and one announcing that she would not run for reelection. Bottoms released the open letter announcing her decision to withdraw on Thursday evening.
Dropping like... CNN main hero's, with repeated appearances are in a peculiar situation. Started with Gov. Cuomo's legendary performance in the Epidemics that killed more than any other occasion with him and his team covering up the Nursing homes death, to fall from grace and here is another person who decided I am out of here. CNN's hero's are dropping out From top to Bottoms.

RISK...
Members of the advisory panel didn’t recommend U.S. regulators restrict the use of the J&J vaccine based on age or gender, but they did propose that the Food and Drug Administration consider adding a warning label for women under the age of 50.
In a statement late Friday, the FDA and CDC said they were confident that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing Covid-19, adding the risk of the blood clots is “very low.”
Myocarditis...
Israel's pandemic response coordinator, Nachman Ash, said that a preliminary study showed "tens of incidents" of myocarditis occurring among young people below the age of thirty. More than 5 million vaccinated people but how many of the same age?
Theft...
The U.S.’s stunning endorsement of a proposal to waive Covid-19 vaccine patents has won plaudits for President Biden and roiled the global pharmaceutical industry. But, at least in the short term, it’s likely to be more of a symbolic milestone than a turning point in the pandemic.
For months, proponents of the proposal have argued that the need to waive intellectual property protections was urgent given the growth of Covid cases in low- and middle-income countries, which have been largely left without the huge shipments of vaccine already purchased by wealthy countries. But patents alone don’t magically produce vaccines.
This of course is a stupid move. The Pharmaceutical companies invest billions in research to get new drugs for the health of the world. Then the USA would just steel their patent for the benefits of not sure who.
This move is what China has been doing and we complaint about it and the world complained about it.
This is the time to enrich Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, and J& J for the next round that we would not have a solution to it, the New Mutation. Just a thought.
