Covid-19 News/Updates

Boeing can do a BK reorg like the “free market” says they should. No more socialized corporations ! They’ve been living off government contracts long enough while buying back their stock and making a crap airplane. Screw 'em. No more handouts to billionaires !

Social distancing? What do you mean, that’s for dummies.

Recently there has been criticism of Dr. Brix for not correcting Trump when he went of the deep end (yet again) Yet it seems that between the courtesy accorded to the POTUS and the ethics of medical professionals, the opportunity the rest of us would have her to take fell silent. Perhaps this is how pods of whales wash up on beaches when an errant leader isn’t called to question. Then we saw what happened to the Aircraft Carrier Captain.

Recently it happened again at the Mayo Clinic (a most prestigious medical facility) and no one was willing to tell the VPOTUS “wear one or get out” !!

David Letterman who has been silent for awhile now recently sound off about this on the Howard Stern show.

David Letterman criticizes Mike Pence for ‘taunting’ coronavirus patients by not wearing a mask

I don’t see why they don’t just create some life size jpg files that could print cardboard cut out of Pence so that Pence could stay in DC. Then if he needed to appear somewhere
they would only need to print him, place him where the cameras could get a glimpse of him, save the tax payers some money and…assure the arrogant ass couldn’t possibly spread the virus in Hospitals. (and spare the angels who hover over him so they can go look over those with the virus who really need them now)

to see that guy walking around in his $40 suit walking around in the Mayo Clinic without a mask

No wonder, if he cannot afford a proper suit he cannot afford a mask either. Where can I donate? :wink:

It’s not his fault his wife said, he just didn’t know :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Yeah, right. And the 1st assistant moron never wondered why everyone in his entourage and field of view was masked except for him? It is simply amazing that our electoral system can allow the level of idiocy we see every day to exist.

Please please please let’s get rid of this totally corrupt and useless system we have that puts criminals and morons in high places. We need a system where we can call for non confidence and dump the bastards before they destroy our nation.

Haha. A note from his mommy. They are pulling out *ALL" the stops.

Anyone who has read about the war in Burma will have deep respect for those who fought there. One thing Colonel Tom is wearing 3 medals, my father who served from 1936 until 1956 had six plus one awarded by the Russians in 1980 for Russian convoys to Murmansk. They sure didn’t give them away then.

This is the classic account of the CBI Theater in WWII:

The Road Past Mandalay

One of my co-workers at Honeywell had been a Chindit, and his wife took a motherly interest in mine. She told my wife that when he had been about to come home the Army sent a nurse by who told her that if he was asleep she should wake him by standing in the doorway a good distance off and calling him in a gradually increasing voice. And that she should never, ever, startle him from behind.

Respects to Colonel Tom.

Akela tweeted:
The only reason the U.S. has reported one million cases of CoronaVirus is that our Testing is sooo much better than any other country in the World. Other countries are way behind us in Testing, and therefore show far fewer cases!

Is this claim based on facts or just fake news? I don’t know what to believe anymore these days, especially when the source is unreliable.

We call that here cadence braking.

It can continue for a long time with an alternation of relaxation and re-tightening the reins. Until - in a year, in a year and a half? - a vaccine has been developed. That has yet to be tested and then distributed to all humanity. Only then is Covid-19 most likely defeated. All together this can take two or three years before it is over, the virus is in no hurry that we know.

Until at least the year 2024, countries should be wary that the virus will not suddenly resurface in all its severity, and until 2022, partial or total lockdowns will be required to repress it. That is not all. It is also quite possible that the virus will not provide lasting immunity after a past infection, but may reinfect humans after a while, as is often the case with respiratory viruses. This could lead to summers without too many problems, while in autumn the virus will emerge extra vigorously.

You should be able to check the source of the information to see if it’s reliable. No source is given here so it should be disregarded. Plus the use of “sooo”

It’ s a tweet from Trump. Even Yahoo has this covered
