Advice ALL should be following !!!

A nursing home in Baltimore, oldest African-American one, did not lose *a single person* to COVID because as soon as they heard Trump say cases would soon go to zero, they realized it was going to be a catastrophe, stopped visits and masked up.

1. That's fantastic

2. But rump is the genius, I thought.

3. The lesson is of course, whatever trump says, do the opposite.

4. This should not be in the least amusing-- but it is hilarious...

(How far have we fallen...)

5. It had the same effect on me too.

As soon as Fauci and tRump said not to get masks since they are useless I made sure I got some ASAP! That was the first week in March. People, even my 3 doctors, thought I was being an alarmist.

7. I also ordered some early in March and was able to share with family

when they became impossible to find. I've been slowly building up a modest supply of masks and hand sanitizer. I fully expect things to get worse before they get better. Arkansas has seen record numbers of new cases this week.

10. I think we're in real trouble in Arkansas.

For a long time, Asa was being surprisingly sane (for a Republican). After we was summoned to the White House, the wheels have come off.

I'm betting the hospitals will be overwhelmed and a lot of deaths by late July. The only options at that point will be a complete lock-down or start digging mass graves. I sincerely hope I'm being an alarmist.

19. That trip to Washington did seem to be a turning point.

I wonder just what he had to do to get that money for ARDOT.

[TomSlick]

25. Hmmm. I haven't heard that connection.

Of course, there will never be any suggestion of such a connection in the Dem-Gaz.

8. kick

9. That when I went

and stockpiled up on supplies. Everything opposite, you’re safer.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Ha.. when I ordered masks on line. Made zero sense

that they were good enough for health care workers, but not us poor schmucks.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Great! My dad lost his life to covid in a nursing home on

May 14th. Would give anything to have had him be in this smart one!

16. Just think about where we would be if we had a competent president in charge.

[Maru Kitteh]

17. This title makes it sound like COVID is a past

event. It is not.

[tiredtoo]

18. Link says this contact is fake May be impersonating Baltimore Sun.

Just an FYI

20. All fixed - thanks for the catch

The tweet's link I copied used the root domain (which serves fine, but uses a stale cert) - the www. host name works correctly, which I edited into the post above.

Some unappreciated IT guy got sloppy somewhere, it's a thankless soul sucking job tbh.

Cheers

PS. Here's the validator report, you can rerun it on the root DN and see the cause, it's not fake, just the wrong one - the server is just misconfigured.

21. Glad some nursing homes are still ok

My moms nursing home did the same. Locked down in early March. No visits and staff had temps taken and sanitized before entering. So far, they have had 0 Covid cases. However, they are following state guidelines and beginning outdoor 6 ft away visits this week. I hope they can keep it out, It is just getting real in this rural area where we have had a handful of cases and no one is believing it is real. Meanwhile cases are going up fast in the state (Missouri).

23. Everything Trump says is the opposite of reality.

[soldierant]

24. I've lost count of the number of times

I have read in an article or in a comment, or heard someone say through the media or IRL, "Whatever Trump says, assume the truth is the opposite." We all know that.

Apparently, the piece of the equation we have been failing on is, "and then, ACT ON that assumption."

Thanks, Reverend DeWitt, for showing us how it's done.
