Minnesota small business owner: 'This shutdown will be the end of us'

Small businesses will die if Minnesota's shutdown does not end soon, a protester outside Gov. Tim Walz's (D) residence in St. Paul said Friday.

"I'm here because my business is dying and Walz holds the key to get it all going again. I'm a chiropractor," the woman told Breitbart News.

"All of my small business friends are affected. We're either shut down or we're down to 20 percent and we can't go on the way it is right now. This will be the end of us," she commented while holding a sign that read, "Small Business Is Dying You're Holding the Noose."

The chiropractor was just one of a group of Minnesotans who showed up outside the governor's mansion to demand an end to the state's stay-at-home order that was recently extended to May 4, according to Breitbart News.

If new data says Covid-19 no more lethal than flu, should lockdown strategy be reversed?

With each passing day, we learn more about the coronavirus. And some studies suggest that the virus's bark may be worse than its bite. Now that the initial panic is over, maybe it's time to reappraise lockdown plans.

A recent Stanford University study found the Covid-19 infection rate is probably between 50 and 85 times higher than official figures had previously indicated. The study looked for antibodies in 3,330 people in Santa Clara County. Antibodies develop in the blood after someone has been infected with the coronavirus and cleared it. And a much greater proportion of Santa Clarans had them than official figures had at that point suggested.

If the findings — which have yet to be peer reviewed — are sound, then it takes yet another thick slice off the mortality rate of Covid-19. It would now be something under 0.14 percent, putting it on a par with, or even lower than, the seasonal flu. Hence the good news.

Comment: Truth in politics...is there a conscience hypodermic available to inject this concept? The answer: Not by 'a long shot'.

S. Dakota governor defies coronavirus hysteria, defends the Constitution and the people

Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is one of a few state governors who have not yet placed citizens under a stay-at-home order in response to the current outbreak. Not only has she not placed the order, she has been outspoken in her contention that doing so would stand against everything America is supposed to stand for. She sees her decision as empowering individuals to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families.

She is also taking an aggressive position on the use of hydroxychloroquine in treating the virus, placing her ahead of many other state governors.

As a result, on Monday, Governor Noem received about the highest praise any good American could when she was attacked in the pages of the Washington Post.

Wary of US? Peru keeps Covid-19 medical shipment route SECRET over CONFISCATION fears

Peru is being "cautious" in not disclosing the flight path of a plane loaded with Covid-19 testing kits, its disease response chief has said, with the US accused of "confiscating" supplies meant for other nations.

Pilar Mazzetti, who leads Peru's operational center for Covid-19 response, told Reuters that a plane carrying masks and 300,000 testing kits is due to arrive in the country from China on Monday or Tuesday next week.

However, the aircraft's route is being kept "secret" out of fear that the vital shipment could be "confiscated" midway and diverted to a third country, she said.

Led by "the Science" towards a medical tyranny?

Having packed my TV in a box some 20 years ago (did I miss anything good?), I feel I have developed a certain immunity to some of the more blatant propaganda techniques waged upon the populace by the media and Government. On the occasions I do get to see them, I often find myself at a loss to know whether to laugh out loud at the absurdities, or weep that many will swallow them without question.

My favourite recent example of this in the media is this piece here on the BBC (the Babylon Bee Corporation?), where they examine the sinister measures being taken by some of Europe's more authoritarian leaders, asking whether they are using Covid-19 as an excuse to oppress their populations and increase their power. Be thankful, O ye readers of such happenings, that nothing like that could ever happen in free countries such as Britain, France and Italy. If there ever came a time in free and happy Britain where they rushed draconian legislation through Parliament without opposition, put the population under house arrest, sent the economy into a tailspin, and set the police on us in case we sit on park benches — Heaven forfend — be assured that it would all be entirely benevolent and for our own good.

Here's some good news about the Covid-19 pandemic: The self-absorbed, climate change do-gooders are one of its casualties

Support for green parties, and their causes, has slumped across Europe. When you're fighting a silent killer and the economy is going to ruins, their ill-conceived, woke activism just doesn't seem to matter.

The Covid-19 pandemic has left many victims in its wake, the elderly, those in poor health, doctors and nurses working on the frontline... and the climate change brigade.

It seems that many people across Europe have had a rethink about the wisdom of the green agenda in these unprecedented times. When you are being stalked by an invisible killer, locked in your own home for weeks on end and not able to visit those outside your immediate household because you risk being caught by the police and fined, then thoughts of climate change and other issues that in pre-Covid days seemed important, don't really seem to matter that much any more.

The view seems to be that tackling rising sea levels and Amazonian deforestation can wait for another day.

Iran extends prisoner furloughs amid coronavirus threat

Iran's president said the country has extended furloughs for prisoners for another month as officials struggle to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.

Hassan Rohani's announcement on April 19 followed an earlier decision to allow so-called low-risk businesses -- including many shops, factories, and workshops -- to resume operations in Tehran.

Rohani said mosques and other religious centers would remain closed for another two weeks and that decisions on gatherings during Ramadan will be decided later.

The Islamic holy month is scheduled to begin April 23.

Iran has reported more than 80,000 confirmed infections and more than 5,000 deaths. But many Iranians and other experts think the government has intentionally underreported the extent of the pandemic.

The Health Ministry has said the real infection and death toll may be higher due to limited testing.

American clinics report up to 400% rise in abortion requests. If there's a Covid-19 economic collapse, this will get much worse

"Having a child right now feels like a big luxury." Facing an out-of-control disease, a grim economic climate and with some states banning abortions as non-essential, many women are rushing to terminate their pregnancies.

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted every aspect of life in the US, including one deeply controversial topic: abortions. Several states - including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas - are trying to ban abortions, calling them "non-essential" procedures in the wake of a public health crisis. As a result, some clinics have closed, while others are experiencing a spike in requests from women hoping to get an abortion while they still can.

The Trust Women abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas, reported performing 252 abortions in March, up from 90 in March, 2019. Julie Burkhart, the chief executive of Trust Women, told RT.com this week that between the Wichita, Kansas clinic and her other clinic in Oklahoma City (which was briefly closed but has since reopened), they have seen a "300 to 400 percent" increase in their patient load.

Las Vegas Mayor calls shut down 'total insanity,' demands Nevada governor reopen state now

During a Las Vegas city council meeting on Wednesday, Mayor Carolyn Goodman (I) called on Nevada's Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak to quickly reopen the state for business so that her city's residents can start an economic recovery.

"This shutdown has become one of total insanity, in my opinion," Goodman said, "for there is no backup of data as to why we are shutdown from the start, no plan in place how to move through the shutdown or how even to come out of it."

Citing experts, she said that coronavirus is expected to endure indefinitely and argued that the virus has only killed less than 0.5 percent of the state population.
