North Dakota Lawmaker Gets COVID, Forced To Miss His Anti-Vaccine Rally. Republican Rep. Jeff Hoverson said he is taking the deworming drug ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, and has not checked into a hospital. BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota lawmaker and an organizer of a rally Monday to oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates is infected with the coronavirus and won’t attend the event. Republican Rep. Jeff Hoverson posted on Facebook Sunday that he was “quarantining and each day is getting better.” The Minot lawmaker said he is taking the deworming drug ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment, and has not checked into a hospital. “Covid is real and like a really bad flu,” Hoverson wrote. Hoverson, a pastor, told The Associated Press that was diagnosed last week. “I’m feeling rough,” he said Monday. “But this ivermectin is keeping me out of the hospital.” Ivermectin is designed to fight parasitic infections but conservative commentators have promoted it as a treatment for COVID-19, despite a lack of conclusive evidence that it helps. “It’s making me better,” Hoverson said. The North Dakota Legislature returned to Bismarck Monday for a special five-day session during which a bill to prevent vaccine mandates will almost certainly gain approval. House Majority Leader Chet Pollert said Hoverson could participate remotely. North Dakota’s Republican leadership and GOP Gov. Doug Burgum have said they oppose such mandates and the state has joined a federal lawsuit challenging President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine rules. Although Hoverson will not attend the rally at North Dakota’s statehouse, he said three of his teenage children will be there. Hoverson is among the most far-right legislators in the GOP-controlled Legislature. He introduced legislation last session to repeal mask mandates and he sponsored failed legislation that would have made it a felony to help women access abortions. Last month, he was barred from boarding a flight at Minot International Airport after a run-in with a security agent. And as a freshman legislator two years ago, Hoverson protested a prayer by a Hindu cleric, saying he didn’t “want to be compelled to pray for a false god.” North Dakota Lawmaker Gets COVID, Forced To Miss His Anti-Vaccine Rally | HuffPost Latest News

There is a procedure to cope with such. PM me if you need that info.

Almost totally irrelevant these days. I think I have written two cheques in 2021.

whee. i am so excited.

Its NOT getting any better, and since they have stopped contact tracing of infected people, any new measures that might be considered are increasingly guesswork.

Bailey did get off to a very slow start, so that was a valid comment at that time.

Khari is a smart cookie and knows the game very well- next year he ought to field a much better team.

In all honesty, the Als played a good, tough game, considering their talent level. I thought the Bombers found them a tougher opponent than the Argos who beat them early in the season. The Argos played sort of Ok, but the Bombers beat themselves.

Adams is not having the kind of year expected of him.

And how many passing yards did Fajardo get against what is a mediocre defence at best?

And so will Harris.

But you get to meet new people every day and hide your own Easter eggs,

Gotta give props to Harris. He made the Alouettes a real threat to finish well in the East CFL. A fitting finish to the game. Who's the best and why are we?

Time to unclench. Phew.

Ooooh. Butt -pucker time.

YESSSSS!! Alouette O-line over powered twice!

That Alouette penalty helps a lot.

I bet Weineke's car alarm went off after that hit.

FATBOI STRIKES AGAIN!

Not yet, Patience, Grasshopper, patience.

Double crap. Pretty chintzy procedure call on Bombers. hope that doesn't cost us.

Crap. Are we gonna try a long FG attempt?

Nice run by Augustine.

Harris ought to have felt that hit. Okay now, one more FG and we're home and cooled. We might ever see McGuire (yeah, sure).
