Video number four, three two, one. The centers for disease control has come up with a new
set of guidelines that businesses need to follow in order to be able to safely reopen
so that we can get this economy up and running again. And unfortunately for some unknown
reason, the Trump administration has decided that these guidelines from the CDC will quote,
never see the light of day. That is what scientists at the centers for disease control were told
when they came out with these new guidelines. Your guidelines will never see the light of
day is what these scientists were told. Why we all know we have heard Donald Trump say
this, we have seen him tweeted that we got to get the economy running again. We got to
open things up, right? You've got those angry, uh, conservative mobs out there with their
guns saying open things up.
Republican governors saying, well, let's open things up even though we know people are going
to die. And they've actually literally said that. Um, Greg Abbott of Texas for example.
So the CDC says, okay, y'all want to reopen. Here's, here's the things that need to be
done. Let's just do these things and things will be, you know, kind of okay, it's still
not great, but you know what, if you insist on reopening, here's what you should do. But
the Trump administration says, no, no, we're not. We're not going to release these. We're
not going to let businesses know what to do. And the reason that they have given for not
letting these guidelines go out there to these businesses is because they're quote too prescriptive,
too prescriptive. And what they mean by that, as they explained, was what's good for rural
Tennessee may not necessarily be good for New York city.
You know, how can we apply one size fits all guidelines to every single city in this country
when every city is different in unique? Oh, that's a special thought, isn't it? We're
all special and unique. Uh, but here's the thing that these idiots don't understand.
First of all, they understand that they're lying. They do know that. But, um, let me
go ahead and read you some of these guidelines and you tell me if you think that this should
apply to both rural Tennessee and New York city. Let's, let's just see what some of the
guidelines say. Uh, the section on reopening childcare facilities recommends that the facilities
avoid plush toys. Uh, make sure each child has their own plate during meal time and stagger,
drop off and pick up times for parents.
Now, is that something that we could do in both Tennessee and in New York? I mean, are
there different regulations on toys and not sharing plates? And that to me honestly, like
that's what's kind of scary anyway. Like why do we have to tell these these daycares that
the kids can't share plates? Were they making kids share plates to begin with? That's not
good. That's an outbreak of anything waiting to happen. Why are we even having to tell
them this? That's, that's scary. It continues. Uh, the recommendations for restaurants include
installing physical barriers such as sneeze guards around host stations and avoiding the
use of handheld buzzers to inform waiting patrons that their table is ready. Now, I
don't know about you, but I think those could apply in rural Tennessee or New York city
or Pensacola, Florida or San Francisco, California or Denver, Colorado, or literally any other
city in the United States of America.
Those are pretty generic. I don't think they're over prescriptive at all. But this administration
is terrified of those guidelines. Why? Because it sends the message that clearly we're not
ready. This country is not ready to reopen. We have lots of things to do. But to be perfectly
honest too, like these recommendations from the CDC, these should not just be put in place
to fight from the Corona virus. Um, these should be the new normal. Again, like not
having preschool kids share the same plate at meal time. That should just be a thing.
We do the sneeze guards. That should be a thing we do. You know the little Xs and lines
that they have in in supermarkets now where you can't like, you gotta wait at the line
and not be right up on somebody's neck. That's driven me crazy for years. When people do
that and you're trying to put in your pin number anyway, that's beside the point.
Like that should be standard, the sanitizing of grocery carts, the sanitizing of gym equipment
and things like that. Like why are we doing this? How many lives could we save each year?
Not just from Corona virus, but from the flu? How many people could we stop from getting
the common cold? How many sinus infections could we avoid if we simply cleaned a little,
if we simply weren't right on top of each other while waiting in line to check out at
the grocery store? Folks, these are common sense things that this country needs to adopt
permanently, but for the Trump administration to be blocking these right now is utter insanity.
