Just came across this announcement, haven’t seen it in the media yet:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nAttention citizens. Governor Walz has announced a modification of
Executive Order 20 – 20, requiring Minnesotans to Stay Home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nOur computer model indicates the people most likely to catch the
Covid-19 virus and use precious hospital resources, have an existing
co-morbidity, specifically, obesity. In order to reduce the likelihood
of overwhelming our hospitals with Covid-19 patients, we must reduce
obesity.<\/p>Effective immediately, all Minnesotans whose body mass index is greater
than 29 are hereby declared “obese” and must immediately go on a diet.
Health care providers will be required to forward medical records to the
state for analysis and classification. No person may sell, lend or give
high-fat, high-calorie foods to individuals categorized as obese.
People attempting to eat fattening sweet foods will be arrested and
jailed, where the diet can be enforced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nIf you suspect your neighbor is obese and may be hoarding high-fat,
high-calorie foods, call the tip-line. Police will be dispatched to
search their home for prohibited foods and you may be eligible for a reward.<\/p>We realize this is an extreme measure, but we’re an extreme situation.
We appreciate your help.<\/p>Governor Walz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nJust thought you’d want to know.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, the warning signs are there for Covid<\/a> as with so many other diseases realted to obesity. I’m feeling pretty good about losing 80 pounds this last couple years<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand – today’s joke is tomorrow’s policy, when it comes to progressive governance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
