It takes real balls to say with a straight face that old people are cool with dying so they're grandkids can have a good economy. I mean, shit. Dan Patrick might take the fucking cake for the most batshit statement uttered and we're really only in week 2 of this crisis. 

Or in other words, the golden god needs its sacrifice.

Especially since the evidence suggests the exact opposite.  Boomers happily throw away their grandkids' futures for a few more years and a few more bucks.   They've never given a fuck about leaving a functional earth or society after they're gone.  Old people wanting to sacrifice.  That's some funny shit.  This ain't the WW2 generation we are talking about.  Its baby boomers.

This was a quote by some Democrat. Does this moron know that a quote in an article isn't necessarily the opinion of the writer or paper? 

[horn4life 3,830]

The graphs are great, but I have to first off assume that the data is vastly underreported in both Iran and China, so their actual curve is likely much steeper. People that die without a confirmed coronavirus test will NOT be counted as a coronavirus victim, in the US currently. A strategy not dissimilar to that of China to reduce the overall death count.  Sort of the same way the Bush administration decided that civilian casualties in Iraq were specifically something that should NOT be tracked. The political irony here now is that Trump has put himself squarely standing on Occam's razor.  He continues the destruction of the economy caused by his lack of testing. Or he decides to kill off several percent of the GOP voting block?

For most Republicans the current coronavirus formula is:   2 GOP Judges > 2 million extra dead citizens

This is the best description I’ve seen so far of what to expect from Covid-19. I took this from a nurses group but really explains how this effects us differently than respiratory viruses  of the past. *had trouble sharing original post so I copied it* Maybe this can help you.....1)know what to look for and when to act and how important it is to act quickly and 2) really try to not put yourself and others at risk.

 

****This is from a nurse who became sick: 

 

COVID19 is not like the flu...at all... How do I know? Because I’ve lived through it to tell the tale!

 

Memoirs of a 31 y.o. male with no underlying health conditions.

 

March 3, 2020-Bronchitis like illness started, dry cough, no fever

 

March 5, 2020-Low grade fever starts, still thinking bronchitis

 

March 6, 2020-Fever climbs from 99.8 to 102.6 in one hour, thought it was flu and was now outside the Tamiflu window, stayed home for symptom management.

 

March 9, 2020-Fever of >102 continues, this isn’t flu, go to urgent care, diagnosed with pneumonia, started on Levaquin.

 

March 11, 2020-3 doses of Levaquin in, no improvement in symptoms, go to ER. Admitted, swabbed for COVID19, IV antibiotics got pneumonia on chest CT.

 

March 12, 2020-Get to a room and placed on supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula, 1 liter per minute (lpm). I’m only able to achieve 500 on my incentive spirometer, for perspective-my healthy lungs could hit 4000.

 

March 13, 2020-O2 saturation begins to decline, oxygen increased to 2 lpm, then 3 lpm, then 5 lpm. Oxygen saturation 88% on 5 lpm. The decision is made to use high flow (vapotherm) and move to ICU. Placed on 40 lpm and 60% oxygen. I’m terrified at this point because vapotherm is all that is standing between me and the ventilator. This is the moment I would have died at home had I not come to the hospital when I did. I would have respiratory arrested in my bed.

 

March 14, 2020-I have a bad coughing spell, my oxygen saturation drops to the 80’s. I’m still on 40 lpm and 60%. I’m trying to gasp for air, but because of the condition of my lungs, can only take small breaths without coughing more. I feel as though I’m about to die, my heart is racing, oxygen still low, and I’m sweating profusely. Im in respiratory distress! I pressed my call light trying to get the attention of anyone who can help. My nurse was in another room tending to another sick patient. Fortunately he sees me and comes to my room. I am now on 40 lpm and 100% oxygen, next step is the ventilator. I’m terrified. My breathing slows as my oxygen saturation slowly returns to the 90’s. I’m weaned back down to 60%. The same thing happens again in the night, and again I thought I was about to leave this world. Again I’m on 100%, this time for several hours. I’m slowly weaned again to 60%.

 

March 15, 2020-My morning arterial blood gas (which hurts like a 🤬) is normal. I get weaned to 50%.

 

March 16, 2020-My oxygen saturation is 97%, I’m weaned further to 30 lpm and 40%.

 

March 17, 2020-I’ve been in ICU 4 days, forced to use a bedpan because my oxygen saturation drops if I turn or even move too much. I am unable to clean myself; I’m feeling completely helpless and so embarrassed, but my nurses were great and very understanding. I now truly understand my patients’ feelings from all these years of nursing. I’m weaned to 25 lpm and 30%. I’m going to the medical floor.

 

March 18, 2020-I’m weaned to 28%. I can achieve 1500 on my incentive spirometer finally. I’m hopeful to be weaned to a regular nasal cannula. The provider comes in. I’ve been waiting for my swab results. I tested positive for COVID19...6.5 days of waiting for the outside lab to process the lab. I’m relieved because I finally have a diagnosis, a reason I’ve been so sick. I’m weaned to 4 lpm on a regular nasal cannula, 4 hours later I’m weaned to 2 lpm. 4 hours later I’m weaned to room air. My oxygen saturation stats 93% and above all night.

 

March 19, 2020-As I write this, I’m waiting to attempt a 6 minute walk test to see if my oxygen stays up, so I can go home. I’ve had no visitors this entire time due to my isolation precautions.

 

Guys, this is why social isolation is a thing. As a 31 y.o., I wasn’t supposed to get sick. I wasn’t supposed to be admitted to the hospital or the ICU for that matter. We’ve already had several deaths from COVID19 in this area. I thank God I wasn’t one of them! However, many won’t be as fortunate as I have been. Many will die, especially those with any lung or heart problems. So please, I beg you to #stayhome

He's not wrong.  The silver lining in all of this is that the GOP, through obstruction, and pure incompetence, has fucked up everything so badly over the past 20 years, that we're going to need Dem policies like the Green New Deal, and Universal healthcare to climb out of the hole they've dug.

You are so far in denial your poster name should be Cleopatra.  And the Democrats are fucked in the election.

https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/489122-poll-61-of-voters-agree-trump-is-taking-strong-enough-measures

 

A majority of American voters say they believe the Trump administration is taking strong enough measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey.

Sixty-one percent of registered voters said they strongly or somewhat agree that the Trump administration is taking strong enough measures to slow or stop the spread of COVID-19, while 39 percent said they strongly or somewhat disagree.

 

Karlyn Bowman, public opinion analyst and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says the poll could be reflecting the "rally-round effect."

"Publics tend to rally around their presidents in time of national emergency, and it's something we've observed in many situations," Bowman told The Hill.

"We're seeing strong agreement in many polls that the Trump administration is taking strong measures," she added, "that said, I think we have to be cautious about the deep differences on Republicans, Democrats, and Independents on your question. We're seeing that in other polls too, which indicates that partisan disagreements are still there, still very powerful and that could limit the rally."

The March 14-15 survey found 88 percent of Republican voters agreed that the Trump White House was taking strong enough measures to combat coronavirus, along with 57 percent of independents. 

However, only 41 percent of Democratic voters felt the same.

The president is receiving mounting pressure to invoke the powers of the Defense Production Act, which would enable mass production of equipment needed to combat the disease such as protective masks, ventilators, and tests.

Hospitals and healthcare workers have reported shortages of such supplies and warn it will only get worse in the coming weeks.

The Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted online among 2,001 registered voters between March 14-15. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.

 

If 57% of the Independents and 41% of the Democrats think Trump is doing enough to combat this  Trump will carry 35 to 40 states in November.  For the 97,350,295th time your positions are minority positions in this country.  You may be screaming the loudest but you do not have the most mouths.

Any insight as to why that might be?  My gut tells me that people want to believe in their leader during hard times, but then I remember his steep drop during the government shutdown and I can't quite reconcile it.  What am I missing?

Also in a Pelosi plan....

Additional $100 million for runaways and homeless youths (good!)

additional $15 Million for Veteran employment and training. (Thank you)

and an additional $300 million for Foreign Refugees living overseas (WTF). 
 

Priorities seem clear, no?
