the obsession with vaping among these folks is hilarious. honestly i think part of it has to do with it not being cool to smoke cigarettes in public anymore, because they did it for 40 years
So the federal gov't giving money to states for help during an election is OK when they dug into who wouldn't vote, but it's 100% a socialist take over when Obama tried to do it to help election security.
conservative media raising up what happened in NC-9 to give credence to Trumpism's latest vote suppression attempt was predictable
our levels of extreme proverty are quite an outlier in the western world that UN report a few years ago was super depressing
They're gonna stop testing and end up killing a bunch of people by going "Look the numbers have gone down". Everyone involved in this administration deserves to die in the most painful way possible. This is unbelievable.
Just saw the husband of the lady in the wrong number text thanksgiving story died. She basically invites a stranger to Thanksgiving after she texts the wrong number. Networks eat that kinda story up.
Similarly just saw this in the local newspaper here in Naples, FL The ‘official number’ of hospitalized patients is 26 but the actual hospitalized is 72. Wtf
What they’re saying is that 46 people are under investigation for the virus meaning they may have symptoms, but nothing is confirmed yet so you can’t exactly count that in total hospitalizations.
It makes my point better if I do though. NCH and the mayor of Naples wrote a letter to DeSantis asking for testing supplies today because they are lacking testing down here.
Haven’t slept all night. I don’t think I can go in. Harris county is about to become an epicenter. They’re converting NRG stadium into a hospital. Not sure if I can justify the risk vs reward.
I work in project controls as an estimator. I figure out how much it’s going to cost to repair rotors and turbines used in refineries. 90% of my job is estimating them and then they just go into storage for years because most places have spare ones available for the compressors.
But I’m deemed essential because I have to be there. I could perform 100% of my job from home but that got a big nope. It’s the mentality of “if you ain’t at work then you ain’t workin”. Like I can sit at my desk and just fuck off and that’s considered to be more “workin” than if I was actually out on the floor reviewing the work we were doing if that makes sense. It’s a “be seen” type of job.
Doesn't seem worth jeopardizing your health for, but that's for you to decide. I'm essential, too, fwiw, but my job can't really be done from home, so its a different equation.
Gonna test on black people and prisoners. American stay America'n. https://news.yahoo.com/bureau-prisons-just-bought-60-161315844.html The Bureau of Prisons placed an order for $60,000 worth of hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets in March, federal spending records show. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told Insider the drugs were intended to treat COVID-19 patients. The novel coronavirus has been spreading rapidly throughout federal prisons, and the BOP reported Monday that eight inmates have died so far, and at least 195 have tested positive. The Trump administration has vigorously talked up hydroxychloroquine as a potential COVID-19 treatment or prophylactic, though no large-scale clinical trials have proven that it is effective.
Here come the lawyers. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wal...lawsuit-employee-dies-covid/story?id=70040675 I still think thats one of the bigger complication for sports/events coming back.
I wonder how legit is this source? And also how easily can this be used on the tens of thousands of people in icu's around the country?
she’s been a very good twitter follow throughout and I’d imagine felt comfortable enough with the source. That said it’s 10 patients so it’s about as complete as the 20 person study that trump floats. Most doctors though based on previously illnesses similar to covid 19 believe blood plasma will work. That’s why finding people with the antibodies will be crucial. Just another way our lack of testing hurts us.
so the cdc has now relaxed the guidelines to allow asymptotic, potential carriers back into businesses in the food and medical fields among other “essential” businesses? We aren’t getting out of quarantine until we have a new president, a cure or a vaccine.
What. The. Fuck. We are no where near the end of this. And we're going to be the reason other countries have this shit reintroduced after they've contained it.
So we're at 10% unemployment now? Probably going to grow? Trump knew these numbers coming in, which is why they are pushing to reopen everything. The economy >> lives
1918 was bad because people prematurely eased restrictions. I still don't think anyone really knows how the seasons effect this thing, but if it dies back in the summer only to return with a vengeance in the fall.... That seems like a hell of an October 'surprise'
Supreme court: "any attempt to keep trump from eating babies would be congressional overreach and of course a socialism."
