If you are squeamish, you might want to pass on this post.
A TV reporter with cameraman was recently permitted to suit up and go inside an ICU full of Covid patients in either Texas or Arizona. As I watched, a several-person team was replacing a clogged oxygen tube in the lungs of a patient on a ventilator whose face was obscured. As the existing clogged tube was withdrawn, you could see that it was obstructed by a God-awful mixture of blood, mucus and who knows what else. The mixture not only clogged the inside of the tube, it clung to the outside and perhaps doubled the diameter of the last six to eight inches of the tube. It was pinkish-orange in color.
That video clip---plus maybe some autopsy photos of "concrete" lungs---should be shown each time Trump or one of his sycophants tries to minimize the seriousness of the Corona virus. This would be stomach-churning and disgusting, but damn it, so is the disease! It is horrible. It is painful. It is frightening. And, yes, it is disgusting.
Public attitudes shifted when the plane-loads of flag-draped aluminum coffins were shown returning to Dover from the Middle East during Bush's war. The anti-mask crowd and the willfully ignorant should have to confront the predictable consequences of their selfish idiocy.
And, if it ruins their appetite---GOOD!

The biggest stadium in the U.S.A. could be nearly filled twice now with the U.S citizens dead from Covid-19.
