  • 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.

he's triggered now.

he only attacks democratic leaders when he's responding to what they said.  as soon as people stop picking on him, he'll be the most bipartisan person ever.  (paraphrasing, but accurately)

Get a couple of political shots in before he leaves. 

Trumpspeak - No worry about shortages of prescription drugs from China.

Reality - 

U.S. officials worried about Chinese control of American drug supply "Basically we've outsourced our entire industry to China," retired Brig. Gen. John Adams told NBC News. "That is a strategic vulnerability."

Drugs whose key ingredients are manufactured in China include medicines for blood pressure medicine, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy and depression, Gibson says.

"We can't make penicillin anymore," said Gibson. "The last penicillin plant in the United States closed in 2004."

"the only thing we haven't done well is to get good press."

well there it is jeff goldblum GIF

This guy needs to be in charge of the chyron every time that Trump opens his mouth. 

This one should be on the follow up panel. Proudly lowering the discourse to a level that Trump understands

Oh, I have a feeling we'll be able to cram all of those into a short period of time.  A real stewpot of a booming economy, collapsing economy, rising racism/xenophobia, and a pandemic.  Mmmm.....tastes like the end of the world.  And we've got literally the least fit president in US history at the wheel.

Perfect.

What happens during a pandemic to a people already isolated, fearful, and unable to process factual information because they've been indoctrinated to distrust their own eyes, ears, and common sense? 

On the upside, maybe the right will stop crowing about American Exceptionalism for a while. At least until exceptional stupidity isn't the first thing that comes to mind. You wanted a federal government so small you could drown it in a bathtub? Instead you got administration so inept that it's drowning itself, and Americans along with it.

Godamnit I am pissed at Trump enablers. This blood is on your fucking hands. Hiding in the Daily Texan thread won't change that. Refusing to discuss the critical nexus of failed politics and this virus is the ultimate in selfish cowardly comfort.

Oh no, Donald has not and never will come close to sniffing the jock of our shittiest President Harding or behaving Presidential in any way.

I thought Mnuchin did a good job, probably because the bar is so low.

mnuchin is probably a pretty competent person, even if he's an evil clone of john oliver.

Honestly, I think if this continues, it might be the best case for the 25th amendment we've seen.  Still don't think it will happen, but god damn it's painful watching him flounder.

Most small to medium sized businesses' commercial property policies contain a virus exclusion to their business disruption policies, leaving them uninsured for force majeure events like the municipal closures on bars, gyms, and restaurants.  NJ legislators have introduced a bill to require insurers to pay business interruption and spread the cost across the market.  Does Congress or Texas Legislature step in to deal with this?  

If we're going to bail out the airlines what do we do about everyone on main street?

We're going to have to radically restructure a shitload of mechanisms.  From infrastructure to unemployment to insurance coverages to healthcare systems to...keep going.  This situation is revealing gaping holes in our economic and social systems.  If we want to have a society and economy that are sustainable in the long term, we're going to have to start taking better fucking care of them instead of cutting them to the bone/bleeding them dry.

It's why farmers have always set aside a percentage of their harvest as seed for next year.  Sure, it limits short-term profitability, but it provides long-term viability.  We need to start thinking of the big picture and long term, and set our institutions up accordingly.

When this is over, there is going to be a period of massive Reconstruction of our economy and institutions.  I pray that we end up with some leadership that's up to the job.

Does any insurance actually cover anything? 

Not if the insurance company gets a say.  I'm dealing with a denied claim for a client right now that is ludicrous....but they're counting on the insured not having the time or resources to fight.  The numbers are in their favor.  Fuck over 100 policy holders, you get away with it 99 times.  That's money in the bank.

Not unless you take them to Court.

Hey, "never let a crisis go to waste," right?  We are entering a period of chaos.  Time to take the fucking reins and make shit happen.  The people are going to be much more amenable to the shit they were stupidly calling "socialism" a few weeks ago.  Maybe the common good actually fucking matters, you know?

Why do we compare tests per capita* but don't compare cases per capita?  We chose the most negative ways to compare.  Not saying either looks great, but lets be apples to apples.

*except China, which only uses a province as total population.
