Kentucky sued over conservavirus

I figured that states' actions on conservavirus might prompt lawsuits, but this suit may open up important legal questions.

A northern Kentucky woman has filed a federal suit against Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron over attempts to limit out-of-state travel. The plaintiff says she regularly visits family in Ohio and exercises at Ohio state parks. She now fears visiting the Buckeye State "due to uncertainty over whether she will be detained or otherwise punished."

It would be hard to imagine Kentucky detaining someone for going to Ohio as long as they maintain a safe distance from strangers. But many states have tried to do things more extreme than that. Anyone who dares to oppose it gets called a communist.

Everyone has relatives who either think conservavirus isn't real or that it's so cataclysmic that you have to put everything on hold for a year. You know, some of us try to just go about our lives. It's hard to do when the government and the media are so invested in doom. My heart has been racing in recent weeks because perhaps our biggest foe in this crisis is the Trump regime itself, which has tried to use it as an excuse to abolish habeas corpus.

The freedom to travel and assemble is fundamental, and if it is curtailed, these restrictions must be limited in time and scope - and must actually be realistic. This point is highlighted by the fact that so many government officials are doing as little as possible to actually fight conservavirus.

For instance, the federal government is dragging its feet at approving broad use of remdisivir, which doctors have described as a silver bullet against the virus. It's been used on some critically ill patients in America and around the world - and they all recovered. More and more countries are approving the drug. Why won't the U.S. approve it for wider use? The FDA rubber-stamped pemoline for ADHD patients, though pemoline destroys the liver. ADHD is not a fatal condition. Conseravirus is - except that it wouldn't be fatal if people could get remdisivir.

I'm wondering if we can bring a class action suit against the government for not approving it, which not only endangers the lives of those who catch the virus but also puts everyone else in fear of dying from it. The drug itself has been around for years.

The federal government's actions throughout this crisis have been not only incompetent, but malicious.

Before long, nobody is going to take stay-at-home orders very seriously, especially when they know the government doesn't take the pandemic seriously - except when it suits their goals.
