ZoomBubba Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Quote Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Wednesday that starting next week, lawmakers will face hefty fines if they refuse to go through newly installed metal detectors to enter the House chamber. Pelosi said that the House will adopt new rules when it returns to session Jan. 21 to mandate stiff fines for bypassing security: $5,000 for the first offense and $10,000 for the second. The fines will be deducted from lawmakers' salaries. Also, fines for not wearing masks. Quote House Democrats adopted new rules Tuesday night to mandate fines for lawmakers who fail to follow rules requiring masks on the House floor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Failure to wear a mask will result in a $500 fine on the first offense and $2,500 for a repeat offense. Adoption of the fines for failing to wear masks came after several House Republicans were maskless while spending hours crowded in a secure space with hundreds of other lawmakers last Wednesday while law enforcement worked to clear the Capitol complex of the rioters. Three House Democrats who were in the secure space have since tested positive for COVID-19. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/534165-pelosi-announces-lawmakers-will-be-fined-if-they-bypass-metal-detectors-to I don't like to say things without evidence, but I'm really wondering if some members of the GOP planned to intentionally spread COVID-19. Greene and a few others were giving tours to rioters and the fact that the shelter's quarters are cramped really makes me think that there should be an investigation as to whether infection of Democratic lawmakers was part of the plan. Like the intelligence agencies said, this wasn't a spontaneous thing. There is probably a smaller inner circle coordinating things. Whether that group is rooted online, in the White House or in Congress remains to be seen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that suspects were carrying around in the capitol are made specifically for binding people: https://www.amazon.com/Tool-Gadget-Disposable-Handcuffs-Restraints/dp/B074MQ2TFG There may need to legislation passed to bind the sales of these types of zip ties considering they've been used in crimes before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacky1980 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 i'm having a hard time reconciling how it was only a few house republicans who were maskless (no democrats), but only a few house democrats have since tested positive (no republicans). can someone clarify?

The clear party division is a hell of a coincidence.... but the masks are supposed to be more effective on those who have it to keep from spreading rather than being more effective for the ones who don't have it to be protected. So wear a mask even if your OWN mask doesn't benefit YOU specifically much, because we're all in this together, and if we all do this it will spread a hell of a lot less. Oh yeah also "Well I feel fine so I'm not sick, so why do I need to wear it?" You could be infected but not showing symptoms YET, or you could be an asymptomatic carrier, basically you may have it and not know it and can spread to other people with you none the wiser.

wacky1980 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 i guess it's also possible that there's a republican source for the spread, but they simply didn't get tested. are they doing mandatory testing for congressfolk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks are not a guarantee, particularly when you're in close quarters for a long period of time. They're meant to prevent the spread when you're going out and making sure to maintain distance. If you're doing one and not the other, then the chances of spread go up further. I caught COVID last month. I was wearing a mask and making sure to social distance, but I still caught it due to others around me not doing the same. It's a weird thing to be sick with, I thought I had allergies until I lost my sense of smell and cases started breaking out at work. My wife wound up catching it and we wound up having a baby two months early. He should be getting out of isolation in the NICU if he tests negative today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacky1980 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 wasn't really expecting the turn that post took. congratulations on the offspring! and good luck with those test results today. i'm pretty well-versed on the science behind mask wearing, which is what makes this particular story so striking. statistically speaking, there shouldn't be a closed group of people where the positive cases lay solely in the mask-wearing folks and entirely miss the unmasked folks. there has to be an explanation, either lack of testing/reporting by the maskless folks and/or or a greater (yet unknown) set of folks who are carrying and just not presenting symptoms yet / won't at all. it's too big a coincidence, barring any unknown factors.

I find I work better from home anyway. We had a change of management over the summer from someone in their 40s who said "work from home as much as you can" when all this started to and older guy who said "I want everyone in the office" to someone that didn't say much one way or the other, but we were still told by our supervisors to come in. I'm the communications specialist for a POA, but I already have a setup at home to handle everything which I emphasized over and over to little avail until we had the pandemic send most of the employees home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
