This morning from the Cuomo's office

[Historic NY]

Signed into law allowing.

S5092- would give pharmacists the ability to test for the flu and help rule out Coronavirus. This will expand our healthcare capacity and ensure everyone gets proper medical attention.

S7932- would penalize retailers, manufacturers, and distributors who raise prices on consumer medical supplies by more than 10% during a public health emergency.

Those qualified pharmacists already do other non evasive activities , with flu shots and others. This will go along way with easing some anxiety among populations and lessen the burden on hospitals, clinics, doctors.

A Wingnut Is Posing as a Coronavirus Tough Guy. He Is the Governor of South Carolina.

It had to happen sooner or later. Some wingnut poser had to adopt the role of COVID-19 Tough Guy. Come on down, Henry McMaster, governor of the home office of American sedition. From the Charlotte Observer:

Schools and government offices across the state should stay open, and large events should not be canceled, McMaster said during a press conference with reporters Wednesday, adding that he himself will be participating in a Saint Patrick’s Day parade in Greenville this weekend. “There remains no cause for public alarm in South Carolina,” McMaster said. South Carolina had two confirmed and eight presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 as of Wednesday afternoon. Most of those cases are concentrated in Camden. “We’re following the advice, instructions and leadership of health authorities in our state,” McMaster said. “The World Health Organization deals with the world as a whole, not individual countries. The CDC has declared no such thing in the United States.”

McMaster said he also would not be asking officials to take any additional precautions — such has putting up signs warning about the coronavirus or increasing the amount of hand sanitizer available — at the S.C. State House, which sees traffic from hundreds of staff members, legislators, lobbyists and visitors every say. “At this point, I don’t think signs need to go up,” McMaster said. “I think everybody knows the coronavirus is in our state as it is in other states.”

You’d be excused if you think that Governor McMaster is something of a dunce. South Carolina: too small for a republic, too large for an insane asylum, but just the right size for a chronic ward.
