      Also illegal. Don’t worry though, the KKK is specifically listed as a group that can apply for an exemption. The reason that’s in there is because every version of the bill that explicitly listed the KKK as an organization that can’t apply for an exemption failed. I know this sounds like insane hyperbole and not something that actually happened, but that’s the state of things.

    Here’s hoping the language isn’t so ambiguous that hospital workers will have to stop treating infectious people and surgeons aren’t having to consult with legal counsel on whether they can operate.

    In public… meaning public outside and not public areas of the hospital right? Ambulances? Do those count? Etc.

      Land of the free

      You misunderstood, see it was “Land or the free”… and then they took all the land.

    Do viruses control our Congress critters like the brain worms do?

      I reflexively down vote the term “congress critters”. It is basically the same as the “tea party”. It tells everyone how little you understand things.

      Just a stupid term wielded by folks to eventually let the worst amongst us yield control. Them critters gonna get us! It’s not a system of representative democracy where we elect those to represent us! They are critters!

      They’re just a bunch of critters! Not people, not criminal actors, just a bunch a squirrels!
