It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Safe' Is

SEC LAROSE: It's Safe to be a Poll Worker [Watch]
You lying idiots don't have a clue. This is beyond irresponsible. And I see they are removing negative comments. Let's see if they take this one down-- at which point I'll blast his ass on Twitter:


This is crap. Fletcher isn't fooled for a second.

I called off working the polls on Tuesday. My bout with respiratory illness is still ongoing, plus my age would make it self-destructive to risk it.

Ohio Republicans really are for the most part dolts. And don't get me started on Ohio Democrats.

UPDATE: And this just in from my local library via email:
In response to Governor Mike DeWine’s orders closing all K-12 schools and prohibiting mass gatherings, the Hudson Library will be closed at 5 p.m. on Friday, March 13, and will remain closed until at least Sunday, April 5. This decision was not made lightly. The scientific evidence that social distancing can help stop the spread of the coronavirus was a compelling factor in making this difficult decision. We will continue to follow guidelines provided by our local, county and state health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Good luck next election, Sec. LaRose.

UPDATE: Dr. Amy is basically an administrator and flack, and does not appear to have the specialty credentialing to make such definitive promises -- nor can she cite any peer-reviewed studies to back up her opinions. This may end up being grounds for both legal actions by those older poll workers and voters who follow her advice as well as for a medical ethics complaint.

It occurs to me to ask "Do the 'brightest and best' go into government? EVER??

I've said for years that "Those who can, do. Those who cannot go into government so they don't HAVE to."

"Comments are turned off."

This includes you.

Yup… they advise we stay home, wash our hands, stay out of crowds, self-isolate… until they need us to legitimize their paychecks and their authoritah, and then its all, “Come on down, the water’s fine!”
