It’s clear as day. And the chuds are going to completely buy in. It’s fucking madness. Sheer, utter insanity
My squadron is now saying if you have at-risk family members to stay home. My wife has asthma but it's fairly minor so I've told them I'll keep coming in until we get a spike in numbers on base.
I started shaving my head about 2 years ago after getting tired of paying someone to cut my bald spot
Cases are undoubtedly well above 30 cases/100,000. Italy has tested way more per million than we have.
Yeah it’s a shame. Portland is almost entirely small business when you’re in the city proper and a lot of good people won’t be opening their doors once this is over. At least we still have beautiful summers and good beer I guess
My wife is a pediatric nurse here in Orlando and works overnight shifts. I woke up this morning next to her and she was sleeping in a face mask. So, i'm probably gonna die at some point
that viral right wing piece from a week or so ago, well the author of it decided to agree to an interview
reminder that conservative legal minds are morons because their only job is to follow explicit guidelines around what policies to support and retrofit legal support for it, largely of the absolute dumbest kind
Orange County FL has a stay-at-home order. You are allowed to go for walks outside but have to maintain 6 feet of distance. Reasonable. Take the dog Lake Eola (downtown Orlando for those not familiar). There are people fucking everywhere. Playing frisbee. Throwing footballs. Not a single cop telling people to move along. This state is going to get wrecked.
these republican governors in the south sure have done a great job promoting and protecting the welfare of the people they were elected to serve my biggest source of anxiety right now is 100% knowing my parents are both 70+ and I'm 2,300 miles away from them while idiots try to shorten their life expectancies
Talked to my neighbor who’s a nurse at a Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus which is a monster of a hospital, pulls from all over Ohio. She said as of her last shift they had zero Covid cases and the hospital is a ghost town. Combination of no elective surgeries, no kids in school, and parents terrified of taking their kids out in public means no sick kids at the hospital. Found the conversation oddly calming
This is also apparently true of Pennsy Hospital in downtown Philly (friends gave birth there this morning). Major birthing center. Nationwide CHILDREN'S hospital - I wonder if it's the same boat. No one wants to send Covid-19 cases to a children's hospital as a first option.
I work in the local children's hospital about once a month. It was a ghost town last Monday. The whole building was slowing down and the hospitals are going to be losing a lot of money.
No clue, the nurse said they had two floors prepped for Covid cases and are just waiting. She’s normaly on elective surgeries and has been trained for Covid duty but nothing yet, she actually is being cut down to 28hrs a week and they got rid of OT right now. The next nearest traditional hospital to Nationwide is Grant which she said is being slammed right now. Nurses are a pretty small community they know what’s going on at every Columbus hospital.
The dumbest thing is where these right wingers tout that its only a few thousands deaths and the economy is gonna get wrecked (dont let the cure be worse than the cause or whatever line Trump said when he was itching to open up on Easter). At the same time 100% of economists agree that it would be far worse to open up the economy right now than to wait it out.
