Excerpts:
Mexicos national seismological service said the quake struck the southern state of Oaxaca at 10.29am local time (1429 BST) on Tuesday but was felt more than 400 miles away in the capital, Mexico City, where buildings shook and panicked residents fled on to the streets.
+++
The situation near the quakes epicentre in Crucecita, Oaxaca, was not immediately clear. But in a social media message to the Mexican people president Andrés Manuel López Obrador officials said one person had been confirmed dead after a landslide along the countrys Pacific coast. Another person was injured.
+++
Oaxacas state governor, Alejandro Murat, told Milenio Televisión the quake had triggered landslides, cut off road links between some towns and damaged some buildings, including one hospital that had been treating Covid-19 patients. Murat said the sick were being moved elsewhere. But no major buildings in the state capital appeared to have been severely damaged.

Laissez-faire economics, laissez-faire healthcare, laissez-faire human life.
The purpose of Republican individualism is purely to destroy any and all community efforts at organizing to better our lives - even to survive a global pandemic and climate change. That's all driven by the global plutocrats and fascist politicians like Putin.
You're exactly right, Intech. Trump and his red state governors are abandoning any and all efforts to control this pandemic. They want red state economies to dominate the economic landscape but with the cost of thousands of unnecessary COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths.
It's impossible for Republicans to lead governments they're trying to destroy.

Excerpts:
Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning, the FDA wrote on June 19.
Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death, the report indicated. The agency said the risk of possible ingestion centered mostly on young children or adolescents who might use alcohol-based sanitizers as a substitute for grain alcohol.
Here are a list of the hand sanitizers manufactured by Eskbiochem:
All-Clean Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-002-01)
Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-007-01)
CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-008-04)
The Good Gel Antibacterial Gel Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-010-10)
CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-005-03)
CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-009-01)
CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-003-01)
Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-001-01)

Trump suggests US slow virus testing to avoid bad statistics

Trump told supporters at his campaign rally that the U.S. has tested 25 million people, far more than any other country. The bad part, Trump said, is that widespread testing leads to logging more cases of the virus.
When you do testing to that extent, youre going to find more people, youre going to find more cases, Trump said. So I said to my people, Slow the testing down, please. They test and they test.

Many speakers urged attendees to exercise their right to vote. Rep. Monroe Nichols said, If you dont go vote, you wasted everybodys time here. A voter registration booth was on site at the festival. By 6 p.m., the stack of new registration forms numbered about 100, according to a staffer at the table.

Coronavirus: Why US is expecting an 'avalanche' of evictions
Coronavirus: Why US is expecting an 'avalanche' of evictionsBy Jessica Lussenhop
BBC News
(I do not suggest you read this if you're having a rough day. It includes a number of very sad stories)
Read it here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53088352
Excerpts:
+++
The federal CARES Act, which passed in early April, froze evictions for renters living in federally subsidised housing or in property backed by government loans. Surveys estimated that in the month of May, nearly a third of renters failed to pay their landlords on time, and over half had lost jobs due to the crisis.
But as the country begins opening up again, moratoriums are ending and 40% of states no longer offer renters any protection. The CARES Act protections only apply to less than one-third of the country's 108 million renters. Missouri is one of nine states in the US that never issued any type of statewide moratorium or stay on eviction proceedings, leaving it up to cities, counties and even individual courthouses to determine how to move forward. As temporary protections are falling away, like a patchwork quilt slowly fraying, hundreds of evictions are already under way in states like Missouri, Virginia and Texas. That could be sending thousands to homeless shelters or to double up with family, at a time when coronavirus cases are still on the rise in many places.
"No court anywhere should be evicting anybody until at least the pandemic has sufficiently subsided," said Eric Dunn, director of litigation for the National Housing Law Project. "Most people being evicted right now - it's because their incomes have been disrupted during the crisis. Where are they supposed to go? It's not like they have money to move somewhere else."
Included in the article are some heart-wrenching stories from real, hard-working people that are the victims of cold, heartless corporations and individual landlords.
Why aren't corporations and individual landlords going to bat for these tenants with the government rather than booting them out on the street?

State Supreme Court denies last-ditch appeal seeking Trump rally follows safety protocols
Source: Tulsa World
The state Supreme Court on Friday denied a request to require a Tulsa judge order BOK Center management follow COVID-19 mandatory social distancing guidelines during President Donald Trumps campaign rally this weekend.
The decision appears to end an attempt by two Greenwood businesses and two individuals to require BOK Center management to enforce COVID-19 social distancing and other measures designed to limit the spread of the deadly virus ahead of Trumps rally Saturday.
The rally Saturday is expected to fill the 19,000-plus seat arena to capacity, with thousands more perhaps outside the arena.
Tulsa Health Department Executive Director Bruce Dart has said he wants the Trump rally to be postponed since the city is in the midst of a major resurgence in new COVID-19 cases.

This is an outright moral crime against all Tulsa citizens and citizens of adjoining areas, as many officials want to prevent a super-spreader event of COVID-19. Adding insult to injury, the cost for it will come out of taxpayer's pockets - local, state and federal.
There seems to be no bottom to what Republicans will do to hold and expand their power.....
