Rona J Trump

I saw a compilation earlier. Some really good ones in there. I can appreciate a good joke. He kind of had it coming, and some steam gets vented in the process.

As long as he is recovering, jokes are fine. he brought those on to himself.

Some of the other things I read online were really disturbing. Some sick folks out there.
 
Care to tell us when your friends are sending the next virus our way?

If our country had responded appropriately when Slo first started posting on covid our national deaths might in the hundreds instead of hundreds of thousands.

Are you suffering from pre-voting bad conscience?
 
They have found that putting someone infected onto the invasive ventilator rather than an NIV has resulted in some negative outcomes due to intubation. The Invasive ventilator itself has caused some secondary complication and not directly from the virus itself -- particularly the psychological component. (They akin it to PTSD.)

The following articles have said so much -- carefully worded statements no doubt suggesting that folks should not jump into intubations too quickly.


One of my friends in Evansville had cough, congestion, fever, aches and fatigue for 6-7 days. He lost 10 pounds during the illness. He said he used an alarm on his phone and tried to never lay on his back more than 2 hours. He would turn over and lay on his stomach for an hour before rolling back to on to his back. He said no matter how bad he felt he tried get up and walk around in his house and yard periodically.

Another 57 year old friend somehow disconnected himself from his ventilator. He was dismissed a day later. He’s doing outpatient therapy and just about back to normal.

There you go again with your cotton-pickin’ liberal science. Please leave stoll alone in his numerata ignorata.

Trump’s biggest problem right now is figuring out how to make up for the lost hairdo write-offs for his taxes. Can’t count hospital time.

Speakiing of Nurse Ratched, I kinda want to check out the Netflix series Ratched . It’s supposed to be that characters origin story. I’m pretty sure it’s Netflix. Ok, back to the topic at hand.
 
Reckon he got racist after he announced his run at POTUS.
Where have you been? He has been a racist all his life! But then, you and your likes probably call Martin Luther King a racist. At least, I am satisfied you recognize that the word "racist" is a bad word. Good for you!

A perfect response would still have seen tens of thousands.

I’ve seen two episodes so far and liked.
 
That is exactly correct. Since only masks and social distancing are known to slow COVID, there are no possible solutions.
From CNN: "As 2020 slides into and probably infects 2021, try to take heart in one discomfiting fact: Things are most likely never going 'back to normal'."
The piece discusses the likely permanency of mask mandates, telecommuting, reduced physical contact, and similar changes to life.

Naw, that's going too far. We'll see "normal", it just will be a while in coming. It will take a vaccine and time.

Or what we’re doing now becomes normal.

Look at all the precautions people (at least some people) are taking, all the changes made to how we interact and all the precautions taken regarding closing some businesses and seriously limiting others, and we’ve still lost over 200k Americans to a highly contagious virus that reportedly only has a 0.6% overall death rate (although that can vary according to age group). What happens when we find another highly contagious virus that has an overall 5% death rate?

This experience will hopefully cause a lot of changes from how we handle sanitation to the air filtration systems installed in commercial buildings, or to people just washing their nasty ass hands more often. The new normal might be seeing that person designated to wipe off shopping carts and to wipe off the buttons on the card readers at the checkouts. A lot of these changes could lead to a reduction in these types of sicknesses overall, not just COVID-19. It could reduce flu cases and even reduce all the intestinal bugs that go around.

From Harvard International Review in May: "As the need for an extension of quarantine into the summer or beyond seems likelier, the new normal will certainly include unanticipated trade-offs. The central irony of the crisis may be that the very methods that liberal democracies are currently using to effectively fight the virus are the same tactics that authoritarian leaders use to dominate their people. While the world is not sinking into authoritarianism, a post-quarantine world could be less democratic than its previous iteration; the tools that have been temporarily deployed in the fight against a once-in-a-lifetime disease may become permanent."

That's just silly.
 
I do wonder if some of these unmasked libertarians would change their tune if COVID didn't discriminate between old and young.
So much for their (grand)parents' liberty. Kind of hard to enjoy if you're in the ICU or the morgue.

people don't care about being protected from something they aren't at risk from, and aren't interested in inconveniencing themselves to protect those who are at risk from them.

Hard to not root against him when he is so oblivious to what people are going through, who don't have access to the kind of care he does. Next he'll call the 200k who have died losers.
Well,they are certainly not Winners !
 
2022, perhaps.

Adar Poonawalla, chief executive of the Serum Institute of India, told the Financial Times that pharmaceutical companies were not increasing production capacity quickly enough to vaccinate the global population in less time. “It’s going to take four to five years until everyone gets the vaccine on this planet,” said Mr Poonawalla, who estimated that if the Covid-19 shot is a two-dose vaccine — such as measles or rotavirus — the world will need 15bn doses.

North Korea inspired but with a better helicopter and video production value.
Trump: Strong, Virile, Resolute, Tough

And then you have the Lincoln Project's response.

TLP's Trump:



If it were the Dems doing that video, they would have been accused of hypocrisy. But real Republicans doing it, its pretty effective.
 
That's just silly.
From NBC: The Metropolitan Transportation Commission, responsible for regional transportation planning and financing in California's San Francisco Bay Area, has voted to make permanent telecommuting practices adopted to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf: "There is an opportunity to do things that could not have been done in the past."
The plan would require "large, office-based employers" to have at least 60 percent of their employees working from home on any given workday.
 
Given Trump has proven that Covid isn't that big a deal why aren't Roger Stone and Paul Manafort in prison?

He's going back to the White House later today allegedly


While I'm sure Trump will be fine.... he was heavily treated right from the outset. Most anyone else would never be admitted to a hospital with his very early onset of symptoms.... and certainly not given such an aggressive treatment protocol.

All that said, he's certainly not out of the woods. If he was infected late last week, the dangerous period would typically occur either late this week into early next week. But again, that's typically going to be someone that had very little supportive care for those first 7-10 days.....aka basically everyone else. People aren't getting multiple infusions of remdesirvir within 72 hours of an initial diagnoses, for example.
