  1. It has now come out that Joe Biden has reached out to the family of George Floyd about what happened. No word on whether the country’s der (he can’t lead) has reached out, or even if he plans to.
  2. Even though they arrested the main culprit in the death of Floyd there is going to be more problems with the release of the Coroner’s preliminary autopsy findings- quote “no physical findings that support the diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.“ Even though Floyd was non-responsive for 2 minutes and 53 seconds before the officer took his knee off his neck. Oh boy...
  3. Right now, at his news conference, Trump is lashing out at China in his biggest deflection yet. Almost everything is China’s fault and he is dissolving the States relation with the W.H.O. China is not playing by the rules. They violated the treaty with Hong Kong. It’s all China, China, China. Nothing about the charges against the Minneapolis officer, nor his tweeting about the event. Then, he walked off as the coward he is.
  4. Clearly, you must read the posted article again. Everybody’s still learning about this new virus, but I’ll choose to listen to health care professionals who are learning, but in a much better position to give advice. People who choose to use YouTube etc. must do so at their own risk.
  5. -Just reported on CNN - 4/5 states that re-opened early have seen sharp spikes in cases. And
  6. Can the President use anything more than CAPS in his response?
  7. With the staggering amount of evidence facing her, this is probably the best answer she was prepared to give
  8. The United States of America. They might want to think about changing their name. They are united no more..
  9. IN CAPS! HE MEANS IT!
  10. Yea, we should stick with the good ‘ole USA, even though it’s proven they have ties with..the good ‘ole USA.
  11. Michael Gallagher - infectious disease physician - Part 2 I think I can speak for a lot of medical professionals when I say, we don’t mean to be arrogant, we don’t mean to be jerks, but damn it, this bullshit is frustrating and yes, we’re going to clap back to ignorance. Ignorance is not something to be flaunted and there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is being uninformed. Stop being willfully ignorant and even reveling in it because it doesn’t fit your preconceived narrative or opinion. Even worse, stop pretending you’re not ignorant because you watched some damn YouTube video or read some op-ed piece. That’s someone’s opinion, normally based on nothing. NOTHING. No research. That’s not information. That’s not factual. That’s not based in science. It’s click-bait with the sole intention of riling you up and getting you to let your guard down. And instead of being pissed at the virus that’s causing all this, it’s to direct your anger at the government or doctors or anywhere else their agenda wants it directed.Medical people are fired up for a couple reasons. 1 month ago, we were all heroes and putting our lives on the line because this was dangerous stuff. Well, I think I can speak for most of us when I say we aren’t heroic, we’re just doing our job. But guess what, we’re still doing the same damn thing we were doing a month ago and this crap still hasn’t gone away but now we’re “just trying to scare people” because “it’s really no big deal.” We aren’t looking for a pat on the back or even a thank you, we just want you to do what we all need to do to stop this thing and avoid the spread. Listen, if you think that my big fat ass enjoys sweating like a ***** in church in an isolation gown, walking around like Mr Magoo because my glasses are fogged up because of my mask, and wearing goggles that dig into the backs of my ears because I’m “just a sheep,” you are mistaken. It’s because I don’t want this virus and I don’t want to take it home to my family and I don’t want to infect my co-workers and other patients. We’re fired up because we’ve seen and even performed intubations. We don’t intubate for funsies. Outside of the surgical setting, an intubation is basically throwing a Hail Mary to save someone’s life. And when the mortality rate once that plastic tube slides between your vocal cords with COVID-19 is 85-89%, yeah, that’s terrifying. This virus is dangerous.Lastly, stop being spoiled children about public health advisories. Stop bitching about wearing a mask when you’re in public places. Stop pretending that that is somehow infringing on your rights. Get over yourself. I wish all businesses would grow a pair and refuse service to people who refuse to wear a mask “out of principle.” Police aren’t inclined to enforce it and that’s fine but, spoiler alert, private businesses have and reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Don’t tell me it’s ok for a bakery to refuse service to a gay couple for a wedding cake on religious grounds but not ok for a convenience store to refuse service because they don’t want the outbreak monkey strolling through their place coughing all over other patrons and their staff. Stay outside the 6ft bubble, wear a damn mask, and wash your hands. It’s that easy. Stop pretending they’re asking for a kidney. It’s as much to protect yourself as it is everyone else. People wonder why we have things like stay-at-home orders and closing of non-essential businesses. It’s because of you, jackass, you’re the problem. It’s your lack of ability to exercise common sense and your refusal to follow simple, insanely simple advice that forces the government to exercise it for you. And even then, you still thumb your nose at it in all your ignorant glory. Sorry that you feel like they’re infringing on your right to be an irresponsible child. Look, all I’m saying is I get that it’s frustrating and I get that it’s irritating, and inconvenient and all the other bad things that it is, but please, continue to take this seriously, continue to do the little things that make a big difference. Stop denying facts, science, and the advice from people who have spent a lifetime doing what they do in the medical and research fields to ultimately make everyone’s lives healthier, safer, and better.I’m done with my soap box now. ✌🏻#washyourhands #wearamask
  12. Michael Gallagher - infectious disease physician COVID-19 has changed everything. The way we live, the way our kids learn, the way we work. It has trashed the economy, exploded unemployment, and harmed businesses, many of them, sadly, beyond repair. But here’s the deal: it’s real and it’s here and it’s still spreading. Do you want to know why medical people, real medical people, not some crackpot quacks and kooks with a YouTube account or Facebook page, are taking this seriously? Because it’s serious. And we’re serious people when it comes to people’s health and their lives. Yes, it mostly kills at-risk populations (the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions) but it also kills perfectly healthy people with no prior diagnoses and we don’t know why. I’m so tired of people acting like there’s information that’s being cooked up or withheld. You know why there’s lots of gaps in the information? Because we’re still learning about this virus every day. It’s new. It’s never been seen. How it acts, how it spreads, why it does the things it does is all new and we’re learning on the fly. Stop mistaking genuine lack of information for misinformation or withheld information. The numbers: this one sticks in my craw like no other. “I heard they didn’t die from COVID-19, they died from a heart attack but they were positive so they called it COVID-19 to boost the numbers and scare people.” Stop. It. You know how many people died specifically from AIDS? Zero. AIDS patients die from pneumonia or some other illness normal, healthy people fight off because the AIDS virus destroyed their immune system and they couldn’t fight off the infection. But at the heart of it, they died because of AIDS. The coronavirus attacks the respiratory system. The respiratory system is, in case you didn’t know, pretty important to sustaining life. It also has a huge impact on how other organ systems, like the heart, work. Guess what, when your lungs don’t work because they’ve basically filled with brick mortar because the virus is attacking them, that puts a bit of a strain on your ticker and very well can cause it to fail. So unless you have a basic understanding of or want to understand how interconnected organ systems are and how the body fundamentally functions: stop. End Part 1
  13. Typical Trump answer
  14. This would be the only time he’d wear a mask, although not for the right reasons. But, I do agree, he won’t go. Basically, he’s a coward. A bully coward.
  15. This must be a half dozen times someone has had to mention this fact. People talking about herd immunity as if they haven’t heard this concept before. It’s no secret that practically every country in the world has used the same thinking, with slight differences. And I don’t think Canada is capable of the anarchy spoken of earlier. Sorry, but we’re much too polite for that. 😄
  16. U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to order a review of a law that has long protected Twitter, Facebook and Alphabet’s Google from being responsible for the material posted by their users, according to a draft executive order and a source familiar with the situation.The order, a draft copy of which was seen by Reuters, could change before it is finalized. On Wednesday, officials said Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies on Thursday. It was not, however, listed on Trump’s official schedule for Thursday released by the White House. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-twitter-trump-executive-order-social-idUSKBN2340MW Maybe, or is it maybaby, Trump will start his own social media network. I hear the name Assbook is available.
  17. Hew boy..
  18. That’s pretty good Shannon..
  19. Andrew Peter Napolitano is an American syndicated columnist whose work appears in numerous publications including The Washington Times and Reason. He is an analyst for Fox News, commenting on legal news and trials. Napolitano served as a New Jersey Superior Court judge from 1987 to 1995 Concerning Twitter explanation and their rights, and mail-in voter fraud debunked.
  20. Yeah, I’m at least I’m still standing.Speaking of ‘Still Standing’ "Still Standing" is a mix of a comedy series and a reality series and features actor and comedian Jonny Harris. Harris travels across Canada to discover the hidden gems in small towns. He takes a heart-warming journey to find humor in the unlikeliest of places. He immerses himself into the town's culture as well as into the lives of its residents. He unearths tall tales during his stay before hosting a stand-up comedy routine to help draw attention to these small towns. Pretty well unknown I think, but it really is quite clever. Jonny Harris puts a lot of work into this series and there’s way more hits than misses. His sell-out audiences laugh their hearts out because it’s so relevant and personal. Check it out. You’ll see what I mean.
  21. Um. I’m with WBBFanWest on the Wayne & Shuster Show. They were just OK. There. I said it.
  22. No attendee of Trump University can be so labelled..
