  1. Lol, it's all over the news you stupid fucking POS. Nursing homes are NOT getting tested. You had fatass JB Pritzker say they have task forces hitting hot nursing homes here in IL to deliver PPE and supplement staff. It's total BS...and yes you dumb motherfucker we do have one of the largest groups in the country that run postacute networks for hospitals. Several people on here know me in real life including the Bobs and others I've worked with during the crisis. So you went from 'third hand' to just flat out calling someone with first hand knowledge a liar? I am out there working in this shit 6 days a week. Good to know there's complete pieces of shit like you out there who think it's all fine and we're just whining. Again, FUCK YOU.

  2. I know at least a dozen ER docs that can’t test everyone they would. It’s not a third hand anecdote. MY group has 100,000 patients we can’t test. Almost all nursing home residents have had exposure and are high risk patients. We have 30 doctors in Texas and they cover hospitals and SNF’s. You know how hard we’d get laughed at ordering tests for everyone that needs one? So fuck your third hand bullshit. The litmus test isn’t ‘well just lie and say this so you can get one’. It’s physicians being able to order all the tests they need. Do you think the vast majority of the medical community is making shit up? You’ve been an insufferable prick from the start. What is your problem? Are you working in a hot zone and just getting burned out? Genuinely curious.

  4. It's not that conservatives "got tired of" "policing the world." It's that the Trumpublican Party completely abandoned the internationalism that was one of the cornerstones of the conservative movement. And Nixon wasn't wrong about China. Nixon opening China was part of what cause of the USSR to fall. Exploiting the wedge between China and the Soviet Union was one of the great victories of American diplomacy. Finally--you have a real limited understanding of history if you don't appreciate the role anti-corruption used to have in the conservative movement. Large city machine politics--e.g., Tammany Hall, the Daley machine in Chicago--were generally creatures of the Democratic Party. Part of what underpinned the conservative movement was a drive toward transparency and government accountability. And now that's completely gone. The Trumpublicans have embraced corruption on a scale that would've caused Boss Tweed to blush in embarrassment.

  7. trump supporters so badly want to believe the narrative that the left is somehow rooting for the virus. this tells me one thing - trump supporters are scared shitless and realize he’s gonna lose. the virus response and what the virus itself has done to the economy will be the nail in the coffin for the trump presidency. so what is happening now is also responsible for a result that is good for the dems. and because the gop lives in their oversimplified aggy-fied binary fox news world, whatever is bad for trump, must be what dems are rooting for. it has to be an us-vs-them thing. which is why we see protests in swing states with dem govs. it’s why he takes swings at the left every day on tv. its fucking desperate. go clutch your pearls elsewhere.

  8. You voted for trump. So you cause the fire then decide to “sit it out” after the guy you voted for and supported destroyed the country. What a principled stand you are taking.

  11. I thought Birx and Fauci did a really good job addressing the “testing, testing, testing” argument last week, but it really hasn’t been discussed here. Did anyone but me see it? Basic argument is that testing is over rated. I get tested today and get a negative result. Fine, that’s good for all of 15 minutes or the next time I leave the house. The idea that you could do 100mm tests/day is ludicrous and everyone knows it. Scott Gottlieb said we needed 750k test/wk. We’re now doing 1MM/week. The real solution is to monitor hospital visits and anomalies in flu symptom reports which we already have in place county by county. Then, you go to those areas and do random and targeted testing. They theorize we have enough testing to do this for phase 1 and will need to ramp up more for phase 2. Thoughts? Anyone for team apocalypse (Or team nothing but the sniffles) still think we need hundreds of millions of tests or a vaccine before this national nightmare ends?

  12. That just speaks to the real issue: the conservative movement is dead. Everything conservatives once professed to support--free trade, an internationalist foreign policy, balanced budgets, anti-corruption--have no place in the Trumpublican Party. So there's really no point in discussing right-versus-left. That's no longer the driving divergence in American politics.

  13. I wasn’t sure I believed this, but you started with “truth is” so fuck me it must be true. And if that’s the case, holy shit willie Mack, you’ve just blown this whole politics thing wide open. Do you have any thoughts on cures to diseases where said cure is actually more harmful than the disease? Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen.

  15. you are a CR troll and all you do is complain about nothing is enough and no one is good enough. I've been calling your ilk with data on this thread for 4 weeks. you've got nothing but being a whiny bitch. good luck to you.

  16. This is funny. And I'd actually piss on this guys grave if it wasn't out of my way to go and do so, and, of course, if I didn't need to take a shit at that time...because taking a dump would be apropos. Now hear me out...if you want to be a dumbass and spout off some bullshit that gets your ass killed, fine - knock yourself out. Now if you're out there spouting off bullshit that is dangerous and literally getting other people killed, all the while making my job, and many of those I love, infinitely more dangerous, then I will celebrate your death.

  19. You know what? George Conway can fuck right off. Somewhere there's a 3rd house, or a 5th vehicle, or a boat, or some patio furniture that he enjoys. And it was purchased with the money his wife earned working for Donald Trump. He isn't some honest soul just trying to do what's right. He's part of the grift, just with a different angle. Fuck him.

  21. You just look stupid now. There have been several posts of news stories, interviews, and even directly from a Dr in the middle of it that indicate there is a problem. Yet you’ve now conveniently back-tracked to “just Texas”, all while posting no data at all. Well we all notice you’re walking it back dumbass. Everyone on this thread now knows exactly how full of shit you are. You’re the fat ass bully in school whose got nothing but diarrhea mouth and nothing to back it up.

  23. I also posted an NBC news story indicating there are issues, and a TV interview with the Director of the Harvard Health Institute from today that is researching the issue. Look, I understand your schtick is to come onto this board and just insult anyone and everyone by claiming they are ignoring data, all while you do the exact same thing.

  26. Went for a long hike along a river. Skipped rocks. Fished. Ate the first two ripe dewberries of the season up here. And when we rounded a corner, we got a nice note from Mother Nature, in her signature prickly Texas style. We needed that. Legs are scraped up. I smell pretty ripe. Good stuff.

  27. First, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and this board would be much better served if you fucked off. Second, you don't read very well and I feel like it is pointless to keep repeating myself. Third, rt-PCR isn't meant as a test for the general population. You can trust me, ask others on this site, or look it up yourself. Antibody testing currently is inaccurate and until that is fixed testing the general population is of limited utility. Even when that is fixed, people would be better served assuming everyone is contagious and continuing social distancing and other protective measures than relying on tests. Just because someone is negative on April 19 does not mean that they will be negative on April 20.

  28. Couple of days ago I smoked a pork tenderloin. Last night I cut some up and fried them. Tonight, I took one and made this sandwich. Fried pork. Bacon, Mac & cheese, good mustard, Frank's red hot. Baguette was toasted in the left over bacon oil. @deft thanks for the inspiration for the mac & cheese Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

  32. That may work on facebook, but it won't work here. First, accurate information is good. Inaccurate information lies somewhere between useless and harmful. Second, utility and cost play rolls. If tests could be made for free and distributed for free and used by the end-user, everyone could stockpile the tests in their homes and test as many times as they see fit. Grocery stores and restaurants could test people before letting them enter. This isn't reality though. People have to make the tests, people have to read the tests, and people have to pay for the tests. These tests aren't close to the point of say a pregnancy test. We just aren't there and won't be for an extended period of time. Third, no one is claiming they want less information with regard to testing. That is called a strawman. The only thing that some people might be claiming is that they don't want to be tracked by cell phone. This raises the question of whether the public good outweighs the private bad. Overcoming this though requires a little more than a facebook meme though as the facebook crowd is probably the most vociferous against privacy violations.

  33. While you could rely on an algorithm based on a company's historical reporting dates, there is a fringe school of thought that suggests you could just check the company's IR page: https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/amazoncom-webcast-first-quarter-2020-financial-results SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 16, 2020-- Amazon.com, Inc.

  34. Agree, but would say there are really no radical rights anymore, it's just all of the right has moved to idiot Trump. As I consider myself a moderate on the left, I can look at the far left cancel culture and say that's bullshit, get your shit together. Or here's something else we can improve on. Doesn't work that way with Trumpkins. You either follow the orange fool without question or your some kind of enemy socialist elitist.

  35. In terms of corruption, inequality, social mobility, and living conditions for the poor, America is starting to look more like Mexico or Brazil than what is usually considered our peer group, the rest of the west. USA is still among the best places in the world to be top quartile or so. Anything below that and the reality changes quite a bit. We are absolutely approaching third world levels of inequality.

  36. We are about to begin a battle for our nation. And it is between those of us with a functioning brain, and the vast hoards of the stupid you see in those photos. It is the long simmering result of our turning our back on education, and the rise of Fox and Rush and company. In the past, stupid people knew they were not smart, or educated on issues like science. They respected the educated, and realized that they knew more. Now, Fox and Facebook have told them for years that THEY know what it going on. THEY are the smart ones, not the NY Times readers. THEY are smart. Listen to my talking points I heard today from both Fox TV AND radio!!! More importantly, they have been told repeatedly that those fancy paints eggheads are REALLY not smart at all....that THEY are smarter than the stupid libtards from egg-head schools, and they don't need to listen to them. All that stuff is FAKE! They send each other Facebook posts with simple slogans telling each other that they are right - that the eggheads are stupid lying liberals. Every problem in Trump World is simple; every issue is black and white. Climate change, vaccines, Covid-19 - all made up, just like most of the stuff you hear Hannity and Alex Jones prove is wrong. Well Surly, it is not going to get any better any time soon. The folks on Team Stupid are strong. They are strong because they have numbers, and, importantly, because they are unified. They have a simple and easy to understand answer to all problems. It is those libtards who talk with faggy Beta word-speak - like "nuance", and "measured", and "diplomatic" - and "complex solutions to difficult problems." Dear God, now I finally get the thing about 'sips and Aggy. It is like Aggy was the Borg and spread out across America, assimilating. I am decidedly on Team Hook 'Em. With the fancy-schmancy, big word using, science appreciating team. We will have to overthrow the whole GOP to get this country back from the science hating track. We face an Army of Swams and 8Badmofo31s. Which is to say, nothing can ever be said or done to convince them they are wrong. Everyone in their family dying of Cofid-19 will not change their mind. They'd say it was the other flu and a 'dimocrat' plot to hurt Trump with fake Covid-19 autopsy stats. I'm not really sure we will win in the end. I'll be at Brisket's, buying ledge-sitting pads for my ass. ,
