Turtleboy Investigates

It’s Been 15 Days Since The Boston Lockdown Protest That Was Supposed To Cause Spike In Commie Cold But Nothing Happened

 

Fifteen days ago today hundreds of people without masks ignored social distancing guidelines by protesting the lockdown in front of the Statehouse in Boston. We were told by thousands of medical experts on social media that these foolish morons would spread the commie cold and cause another spike.

Let’s check the data to see how many more people caught the commie cold since that May 4 protest.

So it’s gone from 1,880 new cases on May 4 to 992 on May 15. Cool spike bro.

Maybe that’s because they’re just testing less, right?

Oh no, those have actually remained the same. On May 15 they tested close to the same amount of people as they did on May 4. Turns out everything is down since then.

The thing about epidemics where 65% of victims lived in nursing homes, is that eventually you run out of people to kill.

Team Lockdown has been wrong about everything, but it sure doesn’t stop their know it all arrogance as they look down on people who don’t choose to live in fear like them.

    the elderly, who fought our wars and gave their lives work to us, are no different than we are, excepting for the vicious disease of old aging. they were we, once, and shouldn’t be dismissed as statistics. the governments efforts should have gone into protecting them from Day One and fuck the rest, who are statistically improbable of dying from Covid and the few dozens who do are meaningless anyway.

    Baker has no authority to lock down the state and he knows it, time to sue him they all back down. He says safety is the reason and he knows that’s not true, fuck you baker you love power that much? You won’t stand up to what’s right, you will have to answer for your actions king baker

        May 19, 2020 at 1:07 pm

        Wisconsin proved Governors overstep their powers when the create rules and laws without going through legislation first. Baker is a governor not a Monarch or a Dictator. A state of emergency does not grant him complete power over the state. He needs to go through the proper legislative channels. If someone steps up and sues the state he’ll lose. He has had plenty of time to enforce the lockdown the correct way yet has chosen not to.

        He could’ve easily had our elected officials pass these safety measures. But he has gone mad with power and chosen not to. Everything has been by his order with no legislation. I repeat not a single bill has been introduced to the Massachusetts state house in regards to the lockdown OR rules for wearing masks/fines. Baker is a fucking joke and when he’s sued and loses his power grip on the state all hell will break loose.

          Massachusetts is not Wiconsin and our states have enacted different laws. Wild, I know! I don’t think there’s anything in the already existing laws on states of emergency that requires him to consult with the legislature (as in Wisc.) but feel free to cite the language.

          • actually
            May 19, 2020 at 2:50 pm

            You’re correct except Massachusetts grants even less power to governors in a state of emergency than Wisconsin. In fact we’re one of 6 states which strictly forbid giving governors the control Baker now has.

          • R
            May 19, 2020 at 3:12 pm

            Please cite the law that allows him to do this. All the Public Health laws talk about isolating individuals with infectious disease and how to inforce it, NOT the whole society.
            Have you actually read the 1950 Civil Defence Act? Here is the relevant part:
            “5. Proclamation of State of Emergency; Power to Seize or Possess Personal and Real Property; Awards to Owners of Seized Property.
            Because of the existing possibility of the occurrence of disasters of unprecedented size and destructiveness resulting from enemy attack, sabotage or other hostile action, in order to insure that the preparations of the commonwealth will be adequate to deal with such disasters, and generally to provide for the common defense and to protect the public peace, health, security and safety, and to preserve the lives and property of the people of the commonwealth, if and when the congress of the United States shall declare war, or if and when the President of the United States shall by proclamation or otherwise inform the governor that the peace and security of the commonwealth are endangered by belligerent act of any enemy of the United States or of the commonwealth or by the imminent threat thereof; or upon the occurrence of any disaster or catastrophe resulting from attack, sabotage or other hostile action; or from riot or other civil disturbance; or from fire, flood, earthquake or other natural causes; or whenever because of absence of rainfall or other cause a condition exists in all or in any part of the commonwealth whereby it may reasonably be anticipated that the health, safety or property of the citizens thereof will be endangered because of fire or shortage of water or food; or whenever the accidental release of radiation from a nuclear power plant endangers the health, safety, or property of people of the commonwealth, the governor may issue a proclamation or proclamations setting forth a state of emergency,”
            A lot of talk about attack, sabotage, civil disturbance etc….
            Later it talk about the Governor’s powers:
            “(a) Health or safety of inmates of all institutions.
            (b) Maintenance, extension or interconnection of services of public utility or public-service companies, including public utility services owned or operated by the commonwealth or any political subdivision thereof.
            (c) Policing, protection or preservation of all property, public or private, by the owner or person in control thereof, or otherwise.
            (d) Manufacture, sale, possession, use or ownership of (1) fireworks or explosives, or articles in simulation thereof; (2) means or devices of communication other than those exclusively regulated by federal authorities; (3) articles or objects (including birds and animals) capable of use for the giving of aid or information to the enemy or for the destruction of life or property.
            (e) Transportation or travel on Sundays or week-days by aircraft, watercraft, vehicle or otherwise, including the use of registration plates, signs or markers thereon.
            (f) Labor, business or work on Sundays or legal holidays.
            (g) Assemblages, parades or pedestrian travel, in order to protect the physical safety of persons or property.
            (h) Public records and the inspection thereof.
            (i) Regulation of the business of insurance and protection of the interests of the holders of insurance policies and contracts and of beneficiaries thereunder and of the interest of the public in connection therewith.
            (j) Vocational or other educational facilities supported in whole or in part by public funds, in order to extend the benefits or availability thereof.
            (k) The suspension of the operation of any statute, rule or regulation which affects the employment of persons within the commonwealth when, at such times as such suspension becomes necessary in the opinion of the governor to remove any interference, delay or obstruction in connection with the production, processing or transportation of materials which are related to the prosecution of war or which are necessary because of the existence of a state of emergency.
            (l) Regulation of the manner and method of purchasing or contracting for supplies, equipment or other property or personal or other services, and of contracting for or carrying out public works, for the commonwealth or any of its agencies or political subdivisions, including therein housing authorities.
            (m) Receipt, handling or allocation of money, supplies, equipment or material granted, loaned or allocated by the federal government to the commonwealth or any of its agencies or political subdivisions.
            (n) Protection of depositors in banks, and maintenance of the banking structure of the commonwealth.
            (o) Variance of the terms and conditions of licenses, permits or certificates of registration issued by the commonwealth or any of its agencies or political subdivisions.
            (p) Regulating the sale of articles of food and household articles.
            (q) Modification or variation in the classifications established under sections forty-five to fifty, inclusive, of chapter thirty of the General Laws and sections forty-eight to fifty-six, inclusive, of chapter thirty-five of the General Laws.”
            Might be able to regulate sales of food and household articles, maybe, but no where does it give him the right to order people to stay at home or cover thier face.
            This 1950 law has never been tested in court. Parker keeps backing off to protect the law. He would probably lose in court. The one SCOTUS case I can find came from a 1905 Massachusetts case, Jacobson v. Massachusetts. While it upheld the state rights to force vacination it also said:
            “general terms should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression or absurd consequence”

          • ?

          • r
            May 19, 2020 at 7:03 pm

            OK I’ll play along.
            (c), note small “c”, talks about ” Policing, protection or preservation of all property, public or private, by the owner or person in control thereof, or otherwise”
            how does locking down the state protect or preserve property? is there looting or mass destruction of property?
            (g) “Assemblages, parades or pedestrian travel, in order to protect the physical safety of persons or property”
            Talks about “physical” safety of persons or property, not the health. Earlier in another section of the law they specifically mention health, but not here. Which according to the SJC means the legislature knew the difference and made a conscious decision not to include it here. And I do not want to hear the argument that “health” is the same as “physical”. I can be heathy but in physical danger or in bad health but completely physically secure.
            (j) “Vocational or other educational facilities supported in whole or in part by public funds, in order to extend the benefits or availability thereof.”
            Note this part says to “EXTEND the benefits or availabitiy thereof” not RESTRICT. That means he could open the schools up to people who would not otherwise qualify for public education, not close the school to children who by law are required to go to school.

            Please read Civil Defense Act (Acts 1950, Ch.639). It is for “for the purpose of minimizing and repairing injury and damage resulting from disasters caused by attack, sabotage or other hostile action; or by riot or other civil disturbance; or by fire, flood, earthquake or other natural causes”
            Natural causes are not defined which means you have to look at what the common usage at the time was, e.g. natural processes of the Earth; examples are floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, and other geologic processes. I do not think pandemics were thought of in this context, otherwise they would have included them.

            Obviously you have not read the whole law, or even the quoted text closely. Where does it say restrict the movement of citizens? I cannot find an example of this law being used during the Korean War, the Vietnam Conflict, the 1957 Flu Pandemic (which killed 116,000 out of a total 172 million population in the US), or the 1969 Flu Pandemic (which killed 100,000 out of total 202 million population in the US). Both the 1957 Flu and 1969 Flu killed a bigger percentage of the population but there was not lock down. Why?

          • Dumbies
            May 20, 2020 at 8:05 am

            I know it’s a small (c). My phone “corrected” it, it being the first letter I used, and didn’t think worth changing back. You knew what I meant. As for what’s relevant here, the key word is “or” as in “Policing, protection, or preservation.” You’re responding as if it says “policing FOR protection or preservation.” In reality “policing” of all public or private property is listed as a separate and equal power granted under the law and is pretty broad.

            Don’t know if I should even respond to your point on (g) because of course health is a component of physical safety, particularly when the health risk in question is a physical infection.

            You have a point under (j) but on the other hand he can already close them under (g) and it could be argued that he has powers under (j) to support local efforts to virtualize classrooms, but this seems a bit tangential to our overall discussion.

            My reading of any such language as “other natural event” is always going to be broad and I believe the courts will interpret it that was as well. Not many strict constructionists on the Mass. Supreme Court and SCOTUS isn’t going to get involved in this, and would likely agree 9-0 that the federal government has no say on 10th Amendment grounds and the consistent jurisprudence in this area. Anyhow, a pandemic is by any reasonable definition a natural event.

            Lastly, it’s my understanding that the 1957 and 1969 flu seasons were only recognized to be severe in hindsight. I’m not deeply read in this area but flu happens every year, some people go to the hospital and some people die. We take steps to prevent it through vaccinations and voluntary “social distancing” measures (calling out sick, skipping a party, etc.) but it’s something we’ve learned to live with. I think when comparing covid to the flu we need to keep that in mind. It’s literally not the flu, it’s a new and novel viral strain that was by all indications in Feb. highly contagious and likely more deadly than the flu, and similar to SARS. It was this unknown danger, combined with the real-world examples of China, Italy, Iran, growing cases in Spain and France at the time, that drove a lot of the state responses. I don’t know if at the end of the day I’ll agree that all this was necessary or effective for curbing transmission, but on the question of why was this treated differently than the flu that it’s pretty obvious. It was new, the extent of the danger unknown, and the health crisis in Italy was especially overwhelming and not to be ignored.

          • R
            May 20, 2020 at 8:06 pm

            As for (c) ” …Policing, protection or preservation of all property…”
            What is you definition of policing? Is it “the maintenance of law and order by a police force” or “the enforcement of regulations or an agreement”? Both are listed by Oxford Dictionary. Since it is not defined in the law it is reasonable to look at dictionary defintion. I think in this context it is second. I do not read that as necessarily involiving “the Police”. Either way that whole section is talking about property not people.

            On (g) I will concede that many people today will loop health into physical safety, but at the time this was written in the midst of the Cold Way they would never have considered that. It is not defined in the law so the SJC has repeatedly said youo have to look at how it would be commonly defined. People, and the law, at that time where much more concerned about safety from physical injury not medical issues. I guess it depends on if you include a biological threat in natural disaster. A lot of legal definitions are similar to “any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, winddriven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or drought”. No mention of any biological threat.

            I have talked to both my parents, who lived through all of the events I listed. I am pretty sure they understood how many people were dying around them. The percentages were much higher then and would have been more noticable.

            I think we just have a difference in how liberal we read some of the law and that is fine. I just want people to read the actual law, the definitions of the words written and think about the context when they were written rather then getting “their truth” from Facebook and Twitter.. Or for that matter here.

    • Dick-rich
      May 19, 2020 at 9:59 am

      Has it ever occurred to you the reason it isn’t trending downward quicker is because everyone is isolated and it is taking longer to get to herd immunity? Isolating just prolongs the issue and delays then inevitable.

      Get a dictionary and read the following from the Journal of the American Medical Association.

      “Imposition of large-scale quarantine—compulsory sequestration of groups of possibly exposed persons or human confinement within certain geographic areas to prevent spread of contagious disease—should not be considered a primary public health strategy in most imaginable circumstances,” the report states. “In the majority of contexts, other less extreme public health actions are likely to be more effective and create fewer unintended adverse consequences than quarantine.”

      The only thing that has changed since that was written is that an Orangeman is in the White House and democrats will do anything, even kill citizens to get power back.
