Dr. Norman Oliver, who heads up the state’s department of health, said he would require all Virginians to get the jab so long as he remains health commissioner when a vaccine is available, according to local ABC affiliate WRIC. “[Covid-19] is killing people now, we don’t have a treatment for it and if we develop a vaccine that can prevent it from spreading in the […]

The restaurant is facing numerous complaints after customers stated that the staff refused to serve anyone wearing a mask, according to […]
On Thursday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp sued Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms for ordering people in the city to wear masks in public spaces, a move that will likely not end in his favor, Dave Lindorff, an investigative reporter whose writings can be found at ThisCantBeHappening.net, told Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear Friday. The lawsuit argues that Kemp alone “leads the State of Georgia in its fight against the worldwide novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic” and has the authority to “suspend municipal orders that are contradictory to any state law or to his executive orders.” “As the Mayor of the City of Atlanta, […]

In a statement issued Thursday, Feinstein pointed […]
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R) said Wednesday in a 9-page legal opinion that the Democrat governor’s mask mandate is “likely unconstitutional and unenforceable.” Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards over the weekend announced a statewide mask mandate and additional restrictions for bars. The Republican Attorney General said the Governor’s additional restrictions being placed on citizens has no rhyme or reason and doesn’t appear to serve achieving a goal. “The governor’s recent mandate does not appear to serve achieving any type of goal or mission in a manner consistent with statutory authority and constitutional provisions,” Landry wrote.

Amid an impassioned social media outpouring from both supporters and detractors, came a flood of comments pointing out that erectile dysfunction drug Viagra will still be covered. Many critics seized on that to argue that SCOTUS favored religious objections to women’s […]

Despite guidance from public health experts, mask-wearing has been a contentious issue in the US. Many politicians, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have criticised President Donald Trump for his refusal to wear a mask in public and for not encouraging the nation to wear them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday that a federal mandate for all Americans to wear masks is “long overdue” as coronavirus cases in the US continue to surge. “My understanding is that the Centers for Disease Control has recommended the use of masks but not required it because they don’t want to offend the president,” […]
