Suing some dude pretending to be an insulting cow on Twitter should disqualify the litigant from serious consideration of anything, much less holding public office and dispensing advice to the citizens of the nation – and, yet, Rep Devin Nunes (R-CA) just keeps on being a nutcase:
Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California on Sunday contradicted health experts’ recommendation that Americans practice “social distancing” to curb the spread of coronavirus, instead urging “healthy” Americans to continue patronizing businesses during the pandemic.
“If you’re healthy, you and your family, it’s a great time to go out and go to a local restaurant, likely you can get in easily,” Nunes said during an interview on Fox News as many cities announced new restrictions on bars and restaurants to limit gatherings.
“Let’s not hurt the working people in this country … go to your local pub,” he added.
The suggestion directly contradicts recommendations put forth in recent days by government agencies and public health experts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been urging “social distancing” — defined as “remaining out of places where people meet or gather” and “avoiding local public transportation” — even if you don’t have any symptoms of the virus as a way to slow the spread of the disease.

Sheesh. Why does the 22nd District of California keep reelecting this clown? Is this guy a medical professional with a concentration in public health? No, he’s an Ag guy.
Typical amateur behavior: thinking you know more than folks who’ve somberly studied the problem for years. I hope he takes his broken-down car to a ten year old for repairs. Practice what you preach, Rep Nunes, eh?
