  • I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

I feel like we are living in a Larry David skit or something.. but this is real life.

That might the the first honest, factual response he's given.

AAL and DAL liked that bit. 

Now it's Pence's turn to felate Trump.

Trump is not merely a narcissist.  He’s a solipsist.  He assume objects and events exist only upon his awareness of them.  To him, there is no difference between objective and subjective.  If he personally has not pondered something, it doesn’t exist.  Hell, even when the words describing a concept pass upon his ears, that concept does not exist if Trump decides it’s fake news.  Only once he’s accepted the reality of the idea does it spring into being as an event in objective space time.  

And that particular mental flaw, coupled with his strong urge to reject bad news solely because it might tarnish his esteem, is why we’re all fucked.

These idiots continue to compare the spread of this virus to the spread of HIV. that both are silent killers. Yea one is from people sneezing and one is from people fucking and exchanging needles.

The bill will allow non-medical rated respirators to be used as PPE during this crisis. 3M will be able to add 30 million additional respirators immediately to the supplies.

The people in the White House Pandemic Response Office  that you dismantled in 2018 did, Mr. President. It was their job to think about this stuff and plan ahead. 

If every act of incompetence and failure of leadership were not killing people, this would be funny. Can we somehow just hurry up and make Biden President?

For the idiots among us - what would a non-medical rated respirator normally be used for?  Or is this new production that doesn't go through normal testing procedures?

When the two elected pillocks aren't at the podium I feel like maybe we have a chance. When they are on the other hand......

What specifically more can Gov Cuomo do?

"I think he can do more. It's a hot bed. He can tamp down more. I think it's important that the governors get along with us. I think that's happening."

So if you DON'T buddy buddy up with Trump your municipality is fucked?

It wouldn't be an N-95 rated respirator like health care professionals use. Think your dust mask that you would use when painting, sanding, doing yard work, etc.

Designed to keep out larger airborne irritants, not smaller particles that you'll find in blood sera, spittle, etc.

But we're at the point that they will provide a layer of protection. Something is better than nothing.

As they talk the stock market falls in the ticker.

"Does the buck stop with you, and how would you rate your response on a 1 - 10 scale?"

"I'd rate it a 10. I think we did a great job. We closed things earlier than people said we could do. We took over an obsolete system, one that wasn't meant to do something like this before, we took it over, we broke it down, and now we're testing tremendous numbers of people."

What a load of shit.

It feels like we are in Bastogne and Lt. Dike is in charge.  He needs to be relieved and have Speirs take over.

Yes an HIV that we will all have in short order.  How reassuring.   Fucking morons

Does the buck stop with you, Mr. President?

 

"Nobody's ever doing anything like we're doing like. Take a look back at things that were done in 09 or 11 and they've never done anything like this. If we have a future problem we'll be starting at a much higher plateau. We had a system that was meant for something else, much smaller, we broke it down, now it's better."

trump and a half, that seems like a record

Quick google found this article. I don't think there is any practical way to delay a federal election. It would require an act of both houses of congress and signed by the president (he'd likely never sign it unless it made him supreme commander for life). The constitution requires swearing in of new officers by January of the following year. That would require a constitutional amendment. I think they will enact voting by mail protocols, and long term will stay in effect increasing voter participation. Repubs won't like it but it may be necessary.

We had a presidential election in 1864. We had federal elections in 1918 around the peak of the deadliest wave of the Spanish Flu. We had them through the depression and WWII. We'll have one in 2020.

The GOP will absolutely try to get it postponed, but it won't happen.

Q&A with Trump from today's press conference. sorry for the all-caps ... he was asked how long Americans would have to really focus on social distancing

Quote

 

Q: A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WITH HOW LONG THIS MIGHT LAST. DO YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF ESTIMATE. IF AMERICANS REALLY WERE TO BAND TOGETHER AND DO WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS SUGGESTING, HOW QUICKLY COULD YOU TURN THIS OVER?

A: MY FAVORITE QUESTION. EVERY DAY AND I SPEAK TO A LOT OF THEM. I GET THE OPINIONS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF WE DO A REALLY GOOD JOB, WE WILL NOT ONLY HOLD THE DEATH DOWN TO A LEVEL THAT IS MUCH LOWER THAN THE OTHER WAY HAD WE NOT DONE A GOOD JOB. PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT JULY, AUGUST, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT COULD BE RIGHT IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME WHERE I SAY IT WASHES THROUGH. OTHER PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THAT TERM, BUT IT WASHES THROUGH.

Q: IS THIS THE NEW NORMAL UNTIL THE HEIGHT OF THE SUMMER?

A: WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS, BUT THEY THINK AUGUST, COULD BE JULY, COULD BE LONGER. I HAVE ASKED THAT QUESTION MANY TIMES.

-stock market charts

-a lie detector test readout after a lie

-trump’s signature

i can’t tell them apart anymore. 

Dems need to be publicly demanding Trump's resignation. It's ridiculous that they're not only not doing so, but they're letting themselves get outflanked to the left on financial support for ordinary Americans by fucking Tom Cotton.

Putting Katie Porter, AOC, and some of the other freshman Dems in charge would literally probably be the best thing to do right now.

 

Are you telling states to close their bars & restaurants?

"We haven't said that yet."

Why not? 

"Well, we..." walks away from the mic.

Dems running that four corners offense, just hoping Donald plays poorly enough that they are declared the winner.

I love how that’s the best spin this writhing pile of incompetence could come up with.  “Don’t worry about COVID-19.  It’s just like AIDS!”  

What uplifting slogan can we expect these mush brained amoebas to roll out tomorrow?  

“The stock market: hopefully it won’t be any worse than the Great Depression.”  

“Sorry your grandma died.  But at least your mom and dad haven’t tested positive yet!”  

“We’re out of ICU beds so we’re asking a priest to deliver your last rites.  But at least we shut down flights from China early.”
