The Republican COVID-19 8 months in-the-works Plan? COVID, what COVID?

So, just like there never was a pandemic, Assembly leader Robin Vos has finally come up with, after 8 months, some random dates and edicts that yank local COVID control away statewide?  Keep this in mind:

Public health officials have not offered assurances that the spread of COVID-19 will be at safe levels by Jan. 31.

Here’s the clueless “Covid Hoax” scheme hatched by our sociopathic Republicans. First, let’s crowd people into rooms: 

a. The plan would double the number of local government employees working on COVID-19; require state workers to perform their duties in their offices instead of at home by Jan. 31.

b. Require schools to provide in-person education by late January in most cases; 

Yea, some random date to require in-person schooling, no matter what happens.

Business, business, business: Here’s the BIG one: 

a. Insulate businesses, schools and government agencies from lawsuits; bar local health officials from issuing emergency orders that close businesses or implement capacity restrictions unless the limits apply to all types of businesses

I think this twitter comment said it best:

This passes for compassion, ignoring the jaw-dropping number of deaths in nursing homes:

…allow family members to see those in nursing homes.

Oh, and imagine giving our 8-month-Republican-vacationers the power to hand out vaccines:

…and give lawmakers a say in how a vaccine is distributed. The plan would give the Joint Finance Committee the power to veto a vaccine distribution plan.

The committee is controlled by some Republicans who have downplayed the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic in the past, including incoming co-chairman Sen. Howard Marklein of Spring Green, who this fall told his constituents not to worry about the virus because hospitals were not overwhelmed at a time when patients were flooding some facilities.
