A morning thought about the RW

The manner in which they refer to “testing” for the virus reminds me of the way they began to refer to “barrier contraception” during the early and middle stages of the AIDS epidemic.

The inherent prejudice against gays in those days by these miscreants (continuing today) closely resembles the adherence to the “Hoax” storyline. It begins to evaporate when people with whom these people are associated, DIE.

Creeps.

OMFG

Drugged out to the max

I cannot say this too many times:

Stephen King’s UNABRIDGED “The Stand” tells this story in an unparalleled fashion. Yes we are not experiencing a civilization-ending event but the mechanism of transmission , the reaction of individuals and institutions, the nature of sorrow from loss is portrayed remarkably well.

Btw, if you can get hold of Jack London’s The Scarlet Plague, an amazing short story which presages all the apocalyptic literature masterfully, I mean it’s JACK LONDON for crying out loud. I believe you can download it for free here:

I have a question:

What is the rate of survival for those admitted to:

1. Hospital
2. Critical Care
3. ICU

My point is once an individual crosses the threshold, what are their chances?

Wait...WHAT????

This is a blossoming health crisis threatening to rend the fabric, albeit (hopefully) temporarily, of the Nation, and this asshole meets with elected officials from one side of the aisle privately? Imagine if Obama had done that...?

How many times have I asked that question?

Hey! Didja ever notice that

when the “gas station urinal cake” speaks, the person standing next to him nods like one of those dog dolls you used to see in the back window of cars.

Creepy AF.

There's one MORE thing you need to keep in mind:

Many millions of people are on very delicate balances of medications: BP meds, psychotropic meds, cancer-maintenance meds, chemotherapy, hormonal meds....many other issues.

When people get violently ill, the mechanisms are thrown off sufficiently such that you will see increased morbidity and mortality from this virus due to underlying causes.

Breaking: the cure for Coronavirus

Lyme’s Disease.

I am awaiting this from the WH:

“An individual may only catch the disease from a Democrat. Republicans cannot transmit it, only receive it.” This is more than a hunch. This is the real truth. Democrats are the vector. Republicans are the victims.

You think I’m kidding? Remember GRID? Remember how it was God’s punishment? It was why they didn’t want to admit that it could be spread to the heterosexual population. Once it was obvious, it was renamed AIDS.

THESE PEOPLE RIVAL THE NAZIS FOR THEIR HATRED AND UNCARING OF THOSE NOT OF THEIR PEDIGREE, (whatever the fuck that may be).
