Yet many continue to fill out these regulations despite hefty fines and the risk of being locked up in jail im not. Going to give you. The authorities are tearing their hair out over frances citizens normal compliance with the confinement restrictions. There are people who think theyre modern day heroes by breaking the rules while they are in fact. When i see people still going to the park to get together or heading to the beach or to open markets they seem not to understand the message from the authorities a lot of our fellow citizens are still taking this too likely but as they blame people for not abiding by the rules the authorities themselves are being accused of not taking proper care. Of those they placed on the frontline unions or fewest that the ministry of interior hasnt provided officers with basic equipment such as face masks so much so the Biggest Police union has warned its members will walk out unless such things are made available there is no reason why we should be victims of a government failure to plan we want to carry out our duties to their fullest but need to be able to guarantee our own safety if the police themselves become contaminated all strike who will monitor the streets seducer Security Offices police and other people who are. In the country who need to be protected all this farce does not distinguish between Police Medics and other citizens were not even sure that we Police Officers not potentially infecting people when we do our checks so we need mosques and other pretext quitting and to keep us safe and others. If the police get infected who will be able to keep the peace to morrow as force is quarantined drags along each day the list of what citizens can do is being tightened the police are cool part of keeping order here if they walk out or if an infection takes hold within the ranks phones could face an uphill battle to carry out its plans in the war on code 19 so much even ski r.

U. S. Senators have been accused of exploiting their Privileged Access to information about the pandemic to make a quick buck thats after they sold off a large number of shares right before the markets plunged among them richard burr head of the Intelligence Committee who sold stocks with up to 1700000. 00 but he denies accusations of foul play amid calls for him to resign him or been as a story. Richard burr u. S. Senator and head of the senate Intelligence Committee reassured everyone that the u. S. Government had the coronavirus situation completely under control heres what he said back in march luckily we have a framework in place that says put is in a better position than any other country to respond to a Public Health threats like the coronavirus his words sounded quite calming especially from someone who receives daily briefings about the spread of the coronavirus although a few days earlier he was telling a group of wealthy donors and constituents of a very different story heres a secret recording of richard burr speaking at the capitol hill club. She was. Probably. Even offered some advice to his wealthy friends every company should be cognizant of the fact that you may have to travel you may have to look at your employees and judge whether the trip theyre making to europe is essential or whether it can be done on a Video Conference why risk is needless to say accusations are now flying that richard burr used his capitol hill inside info to help out his pals financially you remember when the stock market tanked right and tonight stock market futures are pointing to a higher open after the biggest point drop in history the dow losing more than 2000 points today and lot of investors repriced that a little shy of the crash we start in markets in the 2000 point swing on the dow fears over the coronavirus leading to the biggest point drop in History Today well richard burr was pretty well unaffected because he on loaded up to 1700000 dollars of u. S. Stocks just a week before the plunge now he says this is not because of any Insider Information he had overnight solely on public news reports to guide my decision regarding the sale of stocks on february 13th put richard burr is not the only capitol hill do well or to make some slick stock marc. At just the right time. As into tam and sent to bergen private briefings coronavirus weeks and then you know how bad it would be to tell the truth to hansbrough sometimes showing the public that we were fine that she sold off 1006 men in the film he needs to resign senates a bush should resign and prepared to spend some quality time with a federal grand jury that maybe theres an honest explanation for what he did if there is he should share with the rest of us immediately otherwise he must resign from the senate and face prosecution for Insider Trading now all of them are saying they had no control over these Investment Decisions theyre also emphasizing that this was just good luck they had no insider knowledge well looks pretty bad especially for senator burr and laughlin who are pretty well connected of course senator byrd the chairman of the senate Intelligence Committee he was privy to you know secret briefings on the coronavirus and what the response to the coronavirus was going to be and how bad it might be all of that would be a big problem for him as for the senator from georgia she has a nother problem and that her husband is the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange presumably pretty well connected and shes on a committee that oversees the Health Industry the Bigger Picture here is that we have Public Servants we have members of congress who are using their power and position not only in stock trades the problem is that the u. S. Government has too much. It is to give out so its impossible for some of these people to resist a minute ashville crisis americans want their political leaders to be solving problems managing the issues and getting things done it seems like theyre certainly doing that but on a more personal level caleb martin r.

And the war activist can stone things washingtons accusations follow a long running pattern of blaming others for their mistakes. While the whole worlds been looking at with that admiration at the way socialist countries such as china and cuba have handled this and.
