“Assume everybody is a carrier," the mayor said Tuesday on MSNBC. "And then you start from an even slate. And tell the people what to do. And let the businesses open and competition will destroy that business if, in fact, they become evident that they have disease, they’re closed down. It’s that simple.”

And she is the mayor..............can someone sue her for oh I don't know reckless endangerment............hey, mayor you are not suppose to do harm to the masses...........competition against a virus....................Place your bets........

Whens the next election......................
