it started with eugenics. They killed babies and adults who they considered "defective." That evolved into eradication of those that were considered undesirable. The heinous crimes they committed earned some of them a noose.
I think we need to be very, very careful how we treat victims of this virus and step back from the line drawn between triage and crimes against humanity. If Trump has ventilators stockpiled and is refusing to give out what basically is the People's property, then he is flirting with a horrible crime for which there is no excuse.
I haven't heard Trump, nor Pence, nor
Brix, nor Adams, state that they are working on getting the number of vents that this nation needs or will need. I doubt very much that Governor Cuomo is begging for excess vents in order to sell them on eBay.
We need masks, gowns, and gloves.
We need ventilators.
If Trump had done nothing but supply these things, we would be somewhat ahead of the game. We are now hearing stories of how our front line soldiers in the trenches are going bare in order to treat the sick. Trump could have done something to correct this horrible situation. But, he prefers to argue over what he claims to be an incorrect number of vents needed.
Fuck you, Trump. Do your fucking job, asshole.
How anyone could vote for this failure of a pRes, I can't fathom.
Something we need
that Trump et al hasn't mentioned yet. We need trained healthcare workers to run those thousands of vents we apparently will need.
I know that we have professionals in there, but they are being run ragged. And, there are probably not enough, anyway. Why can't we hear that the government is implementing special training programs (respiratory therapists, RNs, etc.) dedicated to running those vents?
I ran two critical care vents once. It is exhausting. I don't see why we couldn't offer free intensive training which lead to licenses. Someone who knows what they are doing could make it happen. We can't count on this virus being gone next week, or the week after. If we started now, we could have them in place in some special unit, ready to go.
We need those vents. What/who are we saving them for??
There they are!
Better late than never, there stands members of the USPHS. They are in uniforms, but not Class As. THEY LOOK PISSED. I saw Adams earlier in the day standing behind Trump, and he looked angry. He's a really handsome black guy. I would love to know what he thinks.
I guess they are there for show and tell. Trump is consulting Jared rather than them? They have a lot to offer, why not tell us what THEY are doing!
Earlier, it was just Adams standing there. Now, I saw at least three. I expect tomorrow to see many more! Someone has figured it out.
I swear that Trump said that Seniors are a dangerous group. Why, yes we are! We have our vote, and we are going to kick you out of office in November! So, no sucking up! Too late for that!
I'm not sure I would want to be
tested for the virus. I don't know how bad this pandemic will be, but I believe that the problems are going to continue to 2021. I am so polarized against this fake pRes that I don't want my name on the list of positive results. For all I know, I'll get picked up and shipped offshore to some petri dish of a ship floating there with no port to disembark.
From all the reading I've done, I feel that I am not in the group that would receive treatment, anyway. So, they don't need to know my status. I am quarantined by life anyway. I'll stay away and wait. Except for buying groceries, of course. Maybe I can set up a grocery delivery deal with Walmart. And avoid getting out of my car altogether.
It is way past the point where testing would have done us some good. Just presume that everyone has it, and act accordingly.
We don't know so many things about this virus. Those are the things I want to hear about. Not the knee-jerk crap that Trump addresses. It's too late for that. I want to know what he is going to do economically to keep us from going into a depression. Great business man that he is, and all...
What a liar!
He says we started testing early and in time. This virus is everywhere now. He is trying to save his administration from his obvious ineptitude.
An odd thing.
I have a tree in the front yard that drops its leaves in the winter. It's pretty old, and I have forgotten what kind of tree it is.
This year, it did not drop its leaves. It looks like it plans to skip the winter and go straight to Spring. That's okay with me, but I have never heard of a tree doing that. I'm not superstitious, but I take it as a good sign, except that I hope it's not a last hurrah. I think the tree is confused.
I was going to remove this tree. Time marches on. But, now I might have to see what happens to it. I sure hope my neighbors don't see me talking to this tree. It's a rather complex situation, yet very simple at the same time. What happens to the new leaves it needs? If there are more leaves than ever, how much more will the tree need in nutrients to survive?
Life is a mystery. There is a scientist somewhere who knows these answers, but I don't. There is always something new to learn. The climate is definitely changing. The vegetation and insects that make our world viable are getting confused. The calendar is changing, the seasons are changing. Have to find a fit in there, somehow.
How does this work, then?
A mom comes into contact with an infected patient. She has a son who comes into contact with her. He comes in contact with his fellow cadets. Then, the cadets directly shake the hand of Pence, the VP.
Mom and son don't show any symptoms (yet,) but they are quarantined.
And, why isn't the VP also quarantined, along with all the cadets? Is this something Pence is learning, or might just find out when he awakens with a fever?
And, how many days has he been in charge of this brewing nightmare? Five days? He's lasted five days before he got himself potentially infected?
And, what about his cadre of people protecting him, flying him around, etc? Why haven't we been told that Pence is self quarantining for two weeks, like all those other ordinary people doing their thing to reduce their chances of infecting someone else?
What a leader! I am so impressed with the solid style of the Grey Ghoul, out there bravely shaking hands with those that should have been quarantined, even after the fact. He can't get sick! That's why Trump appointed him to set such a bold example of bravery. No need to panic!
I'm not personally panicked over this (yet.) I merely think that it is peculiar that Trump et al are in such denial of the potential of this thing. They are probably just denying completely the need to quarantine the VP. He'll just continue to work until something happens. Forget about other people.
Well, you know what I mean.
Covid article
Because we have brain-dead leaders, we have to figure out stuff for ourselves.
So, here is a link to an interesting article about possibilities to explain why this virus seems to be reappearing in patients who have been cleared and released:
https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/02/28/world/asia/28reuters-china-health-reinfection-explainer.html
They are talking about the possibility of the virus being "biphasic," meaning it lies dormant before causing new symptoms.
They also refer to the virus as SARS-CoV-2. A little detail of interest to me.
