2/As it is now there are hundreds of shooting licensed people walking off track. Hundreds of thousands of feral deer, xrabbits,x pigs (latter two a food, anti #poverty source that cannot be culled by shooters) already damaging #native wildlife.Protecting #Indigenous locations/3
3/ @DanielAndrewsMP is key but to lock up (by fines) large areas is #segregation and discrimination. To lock up but then ok if you pay — is a cynical misuse of power. It would be good to hear from #Indigenous Victoria as we already know the value of the birthing trees was/4

NEW: Self-proclaimed "right-wing religious fanatic" radio host Bob Enyart of Colorado, who urged a boycott of COVID-19 vaccines, has died of COVID-19, his longtime radio co-host confirms to #9NEWS. #copolitics
Enyart, a one-time director of Colorado Right to Life, used his former cable television show to mock AIDS victims by name. Recently, Enyart urged a boycott of COVID-19 vaccines "to further increase social tension and put pressure on the child killers."
Enyart and his wife Cheryl had been hospitalized with COVID-19 for more than a week, according to a social media post by Denver Bible Church in Wheat Ridge, where Enyart preached.

Finally! I can talk about this. Some of you remember this tweet. I found something that made my heart race when I was going through government databases. A case of fraud involving $2.3 million in COVID funds. Follow this thread... #9NEWS @9WantsToKnow
Weeks ago I was scrolling through government databases that show all the Colorado businesses that received COVID dollars. Money that was supposed to help small businesses pay employees during the pandemic. I found a strange pattern. 2/
I found 33 businesses that trace to ONE Denver address. They were all approved for COVID monies. When I looked closer at the business licenses...BOOM! Fraud. Someone took expired businesses and revived them on paper. Days later, the entities were approved for loads of money. 3/
NEW: Douglas County Schools board meeting is getting heated as anti-maskers berate the school board. As the Board President issued a "last warning" over crowd interruptions, a man was escorted away by a deputy as he waved something at school board members. #9NEWS #COVID19colorado
Parents have threatened to pull their kids from DCSD if the district doesn't drop the mask mandate recommended by the health department. "I'm sure you understand the financial repercussions of this mass exodus," a parent said during public comment.
A mother makes the somewhat bewildering argument that doctors don't support the school mask mandate but that she cannot find a doctor who will sign an exemption for her children.
NEW: By a 3-2 vote, Adams County Commissioners join Douglas County in opting out of the @TCHDHealth public health order mandating masks in schools. #9News #HeyNext
Interesting comment from Eva Henry, chair of the board, responding to Comissioner Emma Pinter’s suggestion that the board support recommendations from the health department it trusted with making this decision…
Henry said by allowing an opt out - @TCHDHealth made it political.

This is fascinating. There’s still public comment where people are urging the board to opt out…even though they already have.

What's it all mean?
Good to see stagnation in cases. Lots of states still growing pretty fast.
Patient count jump is a bit concerning. Let's see if it eases tomorrow.
Bottom line: Things could be worse. I'll take this for now
Take care!
