Allow me to retort:

The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) jointly and emphatically condemn the recent opinions released by Dr. Daniel Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi. These reckless and untested musings do not speak for medical society and are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19. As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public’s health.

https://www.aaem.org/resources/statements/joint-endorsed/physician-misinformation

I imagine they are the type of owners that don't actually do any work at all with the public. 

If I was drafting a reopening bill, if they want to open, I'd require business owners or CEOs to work the position at their company that requires the most exposure for a period of 2 months.  So these urgent care owners can man reception if they arent qualified medical professionals. The CEO of the Gap will have to man a retail sales floor. Etc.

They basically want to throw other people into the fire to save their necks.

I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Good news. 

The failure to properly account for false positives has caused unjustified optimism on one side of the social distancing debate (see the antibody studies) and unjustified fear on the other side (see the reinfection reports).

This is some good news.  So how can Trump delay this, buy into the company that has this drug and make some money on the side with this information?  Also, help his buddies make some money.  That is what a pandemic is really about.  How do you make the most money off the suffering of others, right?

Quote

David Letterman on Wednesday told Howard Stern he was disgusted to see Vice President Mike Pence touring the Mayo Clinic without a mask. 

The SiriusXM host said he knew some listeners did not like to hear him talk about politics, but he is so upset by the way Donald Trump's White House has handled the novel coronavirus pandemic response, it was unavoidable. 

The former Late Show host told Stern that Pence's move to not wear a mask at the Mayo Clinic on Tuesday was "particularly a thorn in my side" because he used to be the governor of Indiana, Letterman's home state.

Quote

Letterman, who noted the wife of his former musical director Paul Shaffer was hospitalized with COVID-19, lambasted Pence for the move. 

"Now if you go to the Mayo Clinic because you have COVID-19, you really have it," Letterman said. "[Pence] takes time off from his gig as a mannequin, and he's walking around without a mask taunting these poor people who are bedridden and wearing a mask. To me, that is just taunting people who are ill, to see that guy walking around in his $40 suit walking around in the Mayo Clinic without a mask."

Letterman joked that he had intel that Trump would not wear a mask because his aides couldn't figure out how to attach it to his hair.

Had Covid been designed in the football offices of Belmont, the sight of that emblem would kill it about 80% of the time. 

God damn them.

I know it is supposed to be a wildcat, but if you rotate it counterclockwise, it kind of looks like a smiling gorilla.

As plausible as it is, I don't believe that is the actual white house online gift store.  Great idea.  Wish I would have thought of it.  Gimme some rube money.

Sadly, it is.

It's also selling Obama stuff as well, and on the about us page, there's plenty of crap legitimizing the endeavor.  Finally, there's a usa.gov logo on the bottom of the page.

Click on the spoiler in my post just below Brisket's above.

I'm going to argue that having coins #7 AND #8 be named Genius Makes Its Own Rules (in the Historic Moment Art Series) is a pretty high bar for worst political hack collectible coin. But then again, I am not a numismatic.

I read his name in the old Chicago "Buuulls" PA's voice and realized something may be rotten in Denmark.  Which is what we called the neighborhood around the United Center growing up.

 

Also, when that guy asked the President in the clip about "How you can say it will be eradicated without a vaccine?"  The President effectively replies, "Because we'll get rid of it, it'll be gone."  That's his explanation?  You can get eradicate a virus, with no vaccine, by "getting rid of it."  

Well shit, I had no idea.  You can just "get rid of a virus" by Executive Order.  holy fucking shit folks.../ballgame  

I'm votin' for the sumbitch now!
