ARPad95's JournalThis guy's experience with Covid-19 should make anyone think twice about attending social gatherings
even with a mask on. Note: The type of large event he and his wife attended prior to him getting sick is not mentioned, but it sounds like a wedding reception so I wonder if he had his mask off to eat & drink?

Syracuse, N.Y. Joanna Jenkins pulled the van up to the emergency entrance at Upstate Medical University.
You are such a blessing in my life, her husband, Greg, told her. I love you, he said.
Then he got out and walked himself into the emergency room, alone.
It was Oct. 23. Greg Jenkins, 58, had been battling the coronavirus for more than two weeks. He had gone to the hospital in Utica, near where the couple live, twice already. They sent him home, where he got worse.
His fever was 103 for 11 days. It became harder and harder to breathe. By the time they decided to drive to Syracuse, Greg would stop breathing every time he dozed off. He could not stand up long enough to brush his teeth. He stopped eating.
The man who climbed trees every fall to hunt and spent his days singing to seniors in nursing homes could not get enough air to utter a whole sentence.
Jenkins was at Upstate for two weeks. His lung collapsed days after he arrived. He had around-the-clock care and a cocktail of drugs: Remdesivir, plasma, steroids and antibiotics.
Jenkins is a coronavirus survivor, counted in the win column among the 9,970 in Oneida and Onondaga counties who have battled the virus and are considered recovered.
But weeks after he left the hospital, he still cannot take a full breath. Just walking up the stairs or having a conversation is exhausting. He has no idea when, or if, hell be able to sing again.

Moral of the story: Stay the hell away from people who do not mask up! NO EXCEPTIONS.
"Combative Cuomo shouts at reporters during tense press conference."
That's the headline on Syracuse.com. I thought it must be from a presser today because I watched yesterday's presser and there was no "combative" and "shouting" Cuomo. One reporter asked a stupid question and Cuomo gave him the exact response he deserved. Cuomo is trying his damnedest to keep New York from going back to the hell scape that was March and beyond.
So many idiots intent on making the 2nd wave worse than the 1st!
Edited to add the clip some RWNJ twitter account posted to prove Cuomo's so called combativeness and shouting. What a joke! Cuomo was exasperated with the twit of a reporter. That is all.

Slate.com Goodbye, Trump World
https://slate.com/tag/goodbye-trump-adminGoodbye!
Come Jan. 20, Donald Trump will not be president. In the coming weeks, there will be plenty of opportunities to think about what lies ahead, but for now, we want to bid farewell to the Trump officials and family members who have made the past four years so difficult for so many people. We know theyre not just going to go away, but their power is dwindling, and soon they will not matter. Goodbye!

I love watching this Reaction channel on YouTube and here's Mr. Video's take on Twisted Sister's
"We're Not Gonna Take It" in honor of all of us standing up to "the bullies, the jerkoffs and the assholes:"
Mr. Video (real name Leo) is very real and funny (and obviously a fan of Bob Marley)!
The Final Countdown! Biden/Harris 2020!
