On March 21, 2020, USA Today fact checked Breitbart News’s report that New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D) issued a coronavirus emergency order giving herself the power to ban the sale and transportation of firearms in the city.

The result of their fact check was that the Breitbart News report is true.

On March 16, 2020, Breitbart News reported that Mayor Cantrell had issued her order in two parts, over the course of less than a week. The end result was Cantrell claiming power to ban the sale and transportation of firearms and “suspend or limit the sale, dispensing, or transportation, of alcoholic beverages,” among other things.

USA Today reported that Breitbart had a “March 16…article claiming the executive order issued by New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell in response to the coronavirus allows the city to ban the transportation and sale of firearms.” They noted that some secondary outlets on Facebook grabbed Breitbart’s article and ran with it, resulting in “exaggerated versions of the claim circulated on the platform.”

However, USA Today found that Breitbart’s claim about Mayor Cantrell’s order is true, “New Orleans now has the power to suspend the sale and transportation of firearms.”

USA Today “contacted Cantrell’s office with multiple requests to comment but did not receive a response.”

Is this legal, Constitution-wise? I didn't know a Mayor had that kind of 'power'. Sheriff maybe, but....

Just as an FYI: in MS, saying that because it can be different in different states, Juror's have a legal exemption from jury duty once they reach the age of 65.

Got a jury duty notification a couple of weeks ago, called in and told them I wanted the exemption due to age, and they said ok. I said you're going to take my word for it, that I'm over 65, and she said, well we have your birthdate on record.

I'll make two assumptions from that.

1) They pull jurors who are older because most are retired and won't use missing work as an excuse.
2) Having birth dates on record, means they can adjust the pool by age to include younger persons.

An example is the virus spread during summer. Historically virus and specifically the flu has seasonality that spreads around cold weather. Corona has only been around 3 1/2 months we don’t have a complete year of exposure to know seasonalities impact, but it is not unreasonable to expect some seasonality may lesson the spread as long as you factor this is unproven and it may be different. It is certainly acceptable to hope for a summer break to provide time to prepare for the possible return as the weather turns it is also acceptable to point out summer may have no effect or because of its high rate of transmission it is only lessoned. Today all 3 are correct in my most humbly submitted opinion.
Click to expand...

This is what some are trying to say here, yet when someone even mentions the possibility of the virus slowing or dissipating with the arrival of warmth and sunshine based on seasonal flu observations, lots of people just lose their minds and jump to the attack. As the quote above mentions, nobody knows what's going to happen, as far as I can tell nobody on this board is an epidemiologist and the raw data is all we have for current observation.

Just because somebody throws out a statement you don't agree with, there is no reason to attack them and act like an overly emotional two-year-old. Be proactive and go do some research if you think they're wrong As mentioned above nobody knows anything which means we should all be open-minded to any information or data.

Look up "exponential decay" couple of people on here love the word "exponential" in terms of the unlimited and neverending growth of a virus, it just doesn't work that way, most viruses run in cycles, but nobody knows about this one, the best guess is it acts like other respiratory viruses, but again its a guess, tons of info out there. Attack away

For Mississippi:

It should also be noted that Tupelo, MS just went into total lockdown. Nothing open except emergency stuff. No workforce over 10 people and even then they must comply with CDC guidelines. For those over ten must go to court to get exemption.

Children just got an email from their work places. They are still trying to thrash that out as to what is applicable to them.

Total is 207. This thing is growing by about 1/3 every day. Yesterday if you remember was 140.

Most of the boothe in some farmers markets don't sell food. They could allow only food sellers, ban any music, and make sure the vendors are nor close together.

That said, I'm Normally a vendor in 2 markers. I backed out of both. Right now I'm doing self service sales of plants..Will Do the same with self service, but supervised from a distance you pick, when the food starts .
My mother has a lot of health issues. This is my only option right now. People are also desperate for food and plants.

Also, most vendors at farmers markets deal in cash. They would have to change that.

I know this doesn't effect a lot of folks, but it does effect some, and others not effected might want to pay attention since this is a city with a pop. of about 40,000 which grows to about 100,000 during business hours.

Just accessed the news site and here is what it says concerning the lockdown.

Tupelo now under stay-at-home order to prevent coronavirus spread

Tupelo+sign.jpg


TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) — Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton imposed a stay-at-home order that went into effect early Sunday to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The city released executive orders Saturday night imposing some of the strictest measures in Mississippi so far to combat the virus. They are:




  • a stay-at-home order that would only allow travel to and from essential businesses as well as travel for self or family care
  • mandatory compliance of federal and state coronavirus guidelines that will be enforced
  • stopping utility disconnections, evictions and foreclosures as allowed by law
  • closing nonessential businesses


At the moment, this would last until 11:59 p.m. on March 28.

Shelton explained the way an executive order works is that it takes effect immediately and the City Council votes later on to approve or change it. According to the mayor, that council vote will happen next week.

As for what qualifies as an essential or nonessential business:

Essential

medical and health care clinics and facilities

grocery stores

hardware stores

pharmacies

daycares

businesses in the supply chain for essential businesses—such as medical, food supply, etc.

banks

gas stations

veterinary clinics

professional services serving essential businesses just listed

Nonessential

theatres

gyms

recreational facilities

barbers and beauty salons

massage, nail and day spas

shopping malls

sporting and concert venues

retail stores

The city said exemptions will be provided for any business that can comply with federal and state guidelines and "not be open to the general public other than by curbside, carryout, delivery, telework from home or similar means and any business may seek exemption by separate order of Mayor or majority of Tupelo City Council."

Maybe.....the PTB will make a safe space (camp), surround it with fence (to keep virus out) and provide transportation (trains) heck......throw in some ovens to burn the trash. Weird thoughts I know.

While I do understand how important farm foods are to people who need food, the farmers markets I’ve always shopped at have been packed full of people. There were four markets I rotated, and each one was full of crowds. On busy holiday weekends, sometimes it’s shoulder to shoulder. The only safe way to allow farmers markets is to limit the number of people who can be in there.

I’ve been a vendor at several Farmer’s Markets. With everything else slowed down, maybe they can allocate more parking lots to the markets and spread the vendors out.

For my fellow Mississippians:

jward have been doing a good job of keeping the US track, however, lot's more folks are coming here, and I've been putting up updates here, so will continue.

MS has gone hot, overnight from 80 cases to 140. Data below. Just want to mention a couple of things.

The North Miss. Medical Center as of last night are treating 4 cases, however there are now this AM 5 residents in Lee Co. with the virus. I'm sure they along with those in surrounding counties will end up there.

Also my son had a co-worker go to the ER yesterday from work with suspected Covid-19. The only person allowed inside was the patient, they would not let his wife in. So I take that to mean the hospital is on lockdown, meaning no visitors. My son is on a 14 day quarantine until further notice, (until the test comes back in 3-5 days).

They are not talking about whether you have toilet paper or not.
More like choices of "who gets tested", "who gets a hospital bed", "who gets a ventilator", "who has the police respond when their home is invaded"

what do you think it means when they say "hard and painful decisions"?

They choose who lives and who dies. In triage someone has to make those choices. Why do you think the one who dies does so unnecessarily?

it appears that lock downs are going to follow the model California took - county, then another, then another and then the state. We have seen similar beginning in NY and Kansas City.
I am wondering if it would be useful to start a thread on the topic.

It gets kind of depressing, doesn't it? I haven't found out much about the positives except for this on Mar 18:
“The City of Noblesville has been informed that we have the first confirmed case of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our community,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said in a press release. “We do not want residents to panic as health officials are taking the proper steps to ensure the case stays as isolated as possible.
Hamilton County has 2nd reported case

This one on Mar 8th probably isn't an issue:
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WTHR) — Officials for Noblesville Schools say they have learned Sunday that "a parent has been directed to self-quarantine after attending an out-of-state event where another individual has tested positive for COVID-19."

School officials say the parent is complying and out of an abundance of caution, their children will also be self-quarantined to avoid any potential exposure to Noblesville Schools students.

At this time they have no symptoms and have not tested positive for COVID-19, according to Noblesville Schools.

‘It’s just a build-up of dead people,’ says British nurse in Italy

View: https://youtu.be/_suhYeWEcJg


Coronavirus patients in Italy are treated as "numbers", a British nurse has said, as hospitals struggle to deal with the huge increase in cases.

Connor McAinsh, who works at the Gavazzeni Hospital in Bergamo, said its intensive care unit has seen "an endless stream of people coming in" being treated by coronavirus.

“It’s just been a build-up of dead people,” he told ITV News.

“Once we get a patient in the ICU, I haven’t seen any yet being weaned off the ventilator. So it’s been a couple of weeks now, the patients we’ve had for the longest - nearly 20 days - and all of them still depend on mechanical ventilation.”
Gavazzeni Hospital has been converted into a place where only coronavirus patients are treated....

I would love to hear your thoughts and problem solving ideas.

My daughters medical school is closing Friday. Staying where she is is not practical. She doesn’t have resources there and is a student. She will be driving home, hopefully.

She will pack a cooler for food and water and she will wear gloves to get gas. Minimizing her exposure. Still problem solving bathroom. She is meticulous about her environment so I am less worried about her picking the virus up along the way. She being in med school and me being a nurse she has years of “wash your hands and don’t touch your face” drilled into her.

I am worried about state shut downs and her getting stuck along the way. I read that people trying to get home would be allowed to if a stay home order was given. Recently friends in the medical field have received letters from their health organizations that they are to keep in their cars. The letter we believe it is to allow access to medical campuses.

She will not go through any major cities. Mainly she will go across Nebraska and into Colorado.

So I would love to hear from you. How would you handle bathroom? Would you worry she could get stuck along the way?

Anything we should be thinking of to get her here safely would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Disinfecting wipes and paper towels in a standalone bag, the drawstring bags they hand out to students would do.

After cleaning and stuff away, hand sanitizer if she has some and then roll away.

Told someone headed for Colorado with 2 young daughters the other day not to use the gas station restrooms if possible, just pull down and offramp or side road and do it. Gave them a pack of baby wipes out of a case I just bought too. That was after I replaced the front main seal in his car in an Autozone parking lot to help him get back on the road.

The article is quite confusing. The whole world is desperately looking for a vaccine and the author seems upset that the companies that win the race will make a big profit. Why should anyone care if the CEO gets a big bonus? It's another damned if they do and damned if they don't situation. I guess maybe we should wait on the CDC to come up with a vaccine but we've just witnesses how successful and timely they are. I say offer a billion dollar reward to the first company to make a successful vaccine. That is peanuts compared to what this virus is costing in medical care and lost productivity. And if the company wants to give that billion dollars to their CEO as bonus, I will applaud.
