It appears that Di Pietro is the only one that had the guts to salute Cuomo with a middle finger.
As to your question "could they (local municipalities) go further?," you got me Matt. That is why I have criticized Supervisor Ruffino for some of his rather "curious," if not bizarre remarks such as...
This is simply not a time for cute metaphor or careless comments. The Supervisor, in my opinion, needs to weigh his words more carefully and be very precise.
Simply put, he needs to stop the off-the hip comments and stop, whether intentionally or unintentionally, F****in' with our minds.
Matt, as I see things, this goes to a much broader concern.
The national powers-that-be, in my opinion, simply do not have a handle on the virus, other than its origin.
I am not convinced that the various mutations are not resultant from a weaponized man-made process, or, I must ask, is this sucker is just so naturally weird in terms of mutation that it is always two-steps ahead of science?
In any event, the way in which the Chinese Communist government handled its initial outbreak and containment, leads me to consider the possibility that the Communist Chinese government, post-natural outbreak, recognized it value as a bio-weapon, and used unrestricted international travel as a delivery system.
Stay safe Matt.
