Covid-19

I'm saying you're misrepresenting something you are posting (along with the comments). Did you read the 2016 or 2017 Omnibus bill where those funds came from? Who put that funding there?

Seriously man, I think it's bonkers that you're in DC and yet you're misrepresenting the way stuff works at the capitol.

@R.Caerbannog

Look, I get that you get fired up about this stuff and I am well aware that @Salt USMC can fight his own battles with you, but your post and the use of the word 'misrepresenting' can easily be misinterpreted as calling him a liar....which will only escalate the rhetoric that happens in these threads.

So please, tone it down a just a bit?

Please and thank you.

Regarding the funding, can we have a “Trump bankrolled virus” headline?

If it doesn’t exist already, feel free to make one. Why the fuck not?

I’m surprised the press haven’t done it yet.

But that would go against the narrative that China isn't responsible for the virus.

Can people who are otherwise healthy die from this? if so how/why?

One of our in-house physicians is seeing a lot of young people who get this end up with pulmonary edema and pulmonary thrombosis. of course, we do not know what the long-term consequences will be, if this is something that will self-correct or if this is something they will have for the rest of their life.

I'll go lifelong for $100 Alex.

I agree with you on the funding. I think I updated my post to reflect that before you commented.

It's an attempt to "blame" the money on someone, even though we know that's not how it works.

We can still laugh at Rudy saying it was Obama's fault in 2017 though

I was thinking more like putting ‘Trump’ in a headline would sell a newspaper & no so much who is responsible.

Be sure to insinuate suspected organ harvesting, and tease bathtub pix of a dead hooker to back it up.

I get where you're coming from, but it's interesting to think about what matters more. Orange man bad, or #ChinaDidNothingWrong

Coronavirus spreads in a New York nursing home forced to take recovering patient

"The coronavirus patients began arriving the last week of March, transferred to the Gurwin Jewish Nursing and Rehabilitation Center under a New York state mandate requiring nursing homes to accept those recovering from COVID-19, even if they still might be contagious.

At the time, the Long Island nursing home had only one known resident who had contracted the virus, according to the facility’s president and CEO, Stuart Almer.

A month later, Gurwin is battling an outbreak that’s killed 24 residents — only three of whom were hospital transfers — and one staff member, who worked in housekeeping, Almer said. And the nursing home is still mandated to take in recovering hospital patients known to have the virus, potentially increasing its spread in the facility."

JHFC...time to sue. If you have family there, time to get 'em out.

Try as they might, no-one is believing them, either that they didn’t cause the problem or their efforts are the saviour for all.

This actually pisses me off.

All we've heard about, nearly from day 1, was how overwhelmed the hospitals were - to the point where EMS was turning away patients that were "too critical to be saved" and/or critical patients being returned home because of low probability for survival.

I know of one such example where the family member of a co-worker suffered a severe stroke. The co-worker in this case lives in CA. The family member lives in NY. Due to the severity of the stroke, the family member was returned home. To complicate matters, travel for the co-worker in these times has becoming challenging but they wanted to return home to be with their parent. That sucks. Based on these reports above, none of this needed to occur.

Yeah it takes me a bit to write out a post, so when I quoted you the additional information wasn't there. No worries.

That's what I'm finding so devious about those types of Twitter postings. It doesn't matter what's posted, there is a 'blue checkmark' that provides counter or straight up misinformation. What's even more worrisome is the people who get the 'blue checkmark'. That system is incredibly biased towards people who literally live and think in social bubbles. (There's even a term and a supposed social connotation for this on the urban dictionary... 'Blue Checkmark'.)

I dunno, I think Twitter posts like those are basically self licking ice cream cones that can either generate spin for the MSM or can serve as back door PYSOP opportunities for outside parties. At the end of the day, I don't know who wrote the post, who responded, their motivations, or if there's been some backdoor editing going on. Hence my distrust.

From what I was hearing on the news or pressers (can't remember), the Comfort was supposed to be a stop gap where critical non-covid patients were gonna be treated. I'm guessing they wanted the comfort to be a 'clean' ship for when shit hit the fan.

If anything, it's testament to our Corps of Engineers building and staging resources so quickly. Too bad they were mismanaged, considering how NY wanted to monopolize resources at the expense of the rest of the country.

Sad to read this. Rest-in-peace, Doc.
