Bob Barton, a Minnesota resort owner, told Breitbart News that his business will be destroyed within a month if Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) “stay home order,” ostensibly issued to “slow the spread of Covid-19 across the state,” remains in effect. He offered his remarks during Friday’s “Liberate Minnesota” protest outside of Walz’s residence in Saint Paul, MN.

"Today President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue revealed a $19 billion U.S. farm relief program which includes the Dept. of Agriculture purchasing $3 billion in farm products from the fresh supply chain to support those impacted by the collapse of the restaurant, hotel, school and cafeteria demand (food away from home). "

"AUSTIN, TX – Governor Greg Abbott announced Friday that restrictions on a number of things will loosen up to try and keep the Texas economy alive. To do that, he lifted some surgery restrictions starting Monday, April 22 and then will allow retail businesses to open "Retail-to-Go" operations. 

On April 17, Governor Greg Abbott held a press conference where he issued three new Executive Orders that begin the process of reopening the state while revising hospital capacity and certain social distancing guidelines."

"The debate over the economic future of Northeastern Minnesota is often pitted as a choice between encouraging more mining or prioritizing tourism. The Center of the American Experiment often explains why this dichotomy is false because mining helps boosts the local tourism industry by injecting more money into the local economy.

However, if you believe it must be either mining or tourism, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 and the associated closure of businesses deemed “non-essential” by the Walz administration should make the choice blindingly obvious: the mining industry is essential, the tourism industry is not."

"In 1799, when Tipu was defeated by the British, the whole of Mysore Kingdom with Srirangapatnam as Tipu’s capital, came under British control. For the next few days, the British soldiers had a great time celebrating their victory, but within weeks, many started feeling sick due to Malaria, because Srirangapatnam was a highly marshy area with severe mosquito trouble."

"President Trump definitely hasn't shied away from rambling tonight, though he's also remained pretty poised in the face of some pretty tough questioning.

But one thing he said is that he believes there are about 29 states that he expects will be reopening "soon", though he refused to name them.

When the time comes, it'll be "up to the governors" Trump said."

"University of Oregon President Michael H. Schill recently announced that 282 employees will be furloughed in order to address “the immediate net revenue loss” during what are “far from normal times,” according to his statement posted to the university’s website."

This is a fine summary of where we are in the vaccine world by a Ph.D. who has a knack for crisp and understandable explanations.

“Time for another look at the coronavirus vaccine front, since we have several recent news items. Word has come from GSK and Sanofi that they are going to collaborate on vaccine development, which brings together two of the more experienced large organizations in the field. It looks like Sanofi is bringing the spike protein and GSK is bringing the adjuvant (more on what that means below). Their press release says that they plan to go into human patients late this year and to have everything ready for regulatory filing in the second half of 2021. For its part, Pfizer has announced that they’re pushing up their schedule with BioNTech and possibly starting human trials in August, which probably puts them on a similar timeline for eventual filing.”
