Coronavirus

[neoplacebo]

It's really a shame that you've become an imaginary and perpetual victim; a condition of depraved senility that has culminated in your hatred of America and hatred of Christianity. Have you purchased your corona virus cure that Jim Bakker (another famous "Christian" who hates his religion) sells on tv? He's so Christian, he's trying to make money from the gullible and the stupid while masking his scam with religion. And Rudy, the former sidekick and holder of suitcases full of secret Ukraine evidence proving trump innocent, also sells something that I can't even recall what it is other than something he came up with to make money from the virus. Both of those things are way beyond funny, but you don't see it. And this explains why you hate your country and your religion. sick

I can't remember the last conversation about Hillary that any of us normal people initiated, and certainly can't remember any positive ones. It's a sign of the bankruptcy of 1 FAT CAN's politics and her/his increasing desperation over this that s/he invests so much energy into attacking a person that we don't care about.

Why is he here? Did CPF kick that nutjob out? Are we the only ones tolerant enough to not boot him?

My guess is that he's just a fine example of the dumbing down of America that he's been practicing and hoping for since he became an "adult." At some point in the past, he realized that he's not as bright as nearly all others and has been trembling with excitement and gushing with awe these past three years since there's someone dumber than him in the White House. It's impossible for him to keep his glee to himself as he hates and shits on everything America and Christianity are based on.

... Oh, I meant to wish you a happy nurses' day yesterday and I was feeling so good it just slipped my mind. So consider it done a day late. Thank you for helping and or saving people you don't even know and might not even like.

Aww shucks . You're welcome.

It was good to see my former colleagues speaking truth to power in the Oval Office and across the street.

But she let him get away with it.

I want people in his face telling him to spot lying. We need heroes.

She would probably more from interviews than as a nurse, or someone would hire her.

I wonder if the cat fan would be grateful should his life be saved by a black transgender nurse working with an Iranian doctor while he's on an America hating Christian blaspheming trump rally trip in Indiana and getting involved (as a victim, surprise!) in a horrible traffic accident; or would he just blow it off to white privilege? I will guess that as a perpetual victim and professional America hating Christian blasphemer, he will blow it off to white superiority in the face of adversity.

Maybe, but that's asking a lot of the president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo slammed Trump’s response to the nurse’s comments.

“He better cross his arms in a defensive posture,” Cuomo said after playing the clip. “First of all, how dare he do that to that nurse and put her on the spot. What is she supposed to say? Disagree with him?”

Maybe in private, speaking for herself, idk.

She would probably more from interviews than as a nurse, or someone would hire her.

I don't understand that sentence.

I'm still confused.
What interviews?
She already has a job, maybe two if she's pres and still has a practice.
Why wouldn't lots of people hire her?

Really? You have never noticed that some people are rewarded after being kicked to the curb by power.

The "flip" that resonated name recognition and donations comes to mind.
I'm also reminded of a certain expensively shortened nose as partial payment for speaking against President Clinton.

I predict a huge outcry of support, along with death threats from the idiots, for the first person who looks him drop-jawed in the face and says in their best Talladega voice, trump, I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew! and if you tell another lie I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey!

Whoever does it will be supported for speaking the truth. Maybe not as much as the right supports lies, but still a couple of paid interviews and a new job likely wait for a professional response to dickhead coming into a workplace without a mask.

I wasn't arguing with you. I just didn't understand that you were saying that blasting PINO in the Oval Office could be lucrative. You're probably correct, but I can see a person not doing that if they're representing others. My guess is that she was stunned by his attack, anyhow.

[O Really]

Probably, but she shouldn't have been surprised. Shirley she was aware than any such "meeting" is just a photo op/propaganda session whose only purpose is for Trump Trump Trump. Expecting anything more is way past naivete.

Here is a good article from Time magazine that tells the exact story of what Jesus said about heaven and hell. I doubt you'll read it since you hate your religion, but I tried.

Nebraska Governor Defends Decision To Hide COVID-19 Stats At Specific Meatpacking Plants

Nebraska’s governor on Friday angrily defended his decision to not track COVID-19 cases at specific meatpacking plants that have become contagion hot spots in his state.

Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) did reveal on Thursday that more than 1,000 people in all of the state’s meatpacking plants have tested positive. That’s roughly one-sixth of all cases in Nebraska, he said. He would not, however, provide the numbers at particular plants.

Ricketts’s stance comes as the Trump administration is demanding meat processing plants remain open even as they remain among the most dangerous for COVID-19 infections among workers. About 10,000 COVID-19 cases have been linked to workers at meatpacking plants across the nation, USA Today and the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting have found. At least 45 workers have died.

Ricketts claimed on Wednesday that specific statistics from individual plants are prohibited by the federal law protecting individuals’ privacy under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. But reported COVID-19 cases don’t reveal the identities of the people who have tested positive, only the numbers. And other states have reported infection rates at particular plants.

Yeah, he's lying. I've received extensive HIPAA training and there is nothing in it preventing the collection and sharing of anonymized collective data.

... Tracking outbreaks in specific plants helps uncover particular problems at factories that are threatening workers’ lives — as well as the health of those of the surrounding communities.

Last week an “incensed” sheriff in Iowa blasted “dysfunctional” Tyson Fresh Meats after 900 workers tested positive for COVID-19 at a plant in Waterloo. That was 90% of the cases in Iowa’s Black Hawk County.

The Tyson plant in Waterloo reopened Thursday — even as the infection level climbed to 1,000 cases. More than 1,600 workers at four Iowa meatpacking plants have tested positive for COVID-19.

Nebraska’s testing protocols are suspected of keeping the number of cases in the state artificially low. Not a single inmate in Nebraska’s prisons, for example, has been tested — even though staff members have already tested positive. The Nebraska Department of Corrections told the World-Herald that no inmates have symptoms that warrant testing.

... (Rachel) Maddow warned Ricketts on Thursday: “This is the kind of thing you go down in the history books for, Gov. Ricketts. You’re going to be famous for this, long after you’re gone.”

Idk the legalities, but the equivalent of war crimes trial would not bother me.

[O Really]

"war crimes type" might be a bit of an overreach. We'd probably need to know if he actually had a duty to report, but in any case, he's a lying scum bag. You're right about HIPAA.

Yeah, it's unrealistic hyperbole, and I really meant all of the deadly actions and non-actions that pols are taking, not just this. Legally, I have no idea, but I'd argue that he has a moral duty to report the specific numbers to the workers and adjacent communities.

Maybe what we'll need is the equivalent of 'truth commissions', but we're unlikely to see them, either.

We nurses are sneakier than that.

“The virus is in the White House, any way you look at it."

... Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary tested positive for the virus Friday, forcing a delay in the departure of Air Force Two while a half-dozen other members of his staff were taken off the plane for further testing. That came only a day after word that one of the president’s own military valets had been infected….

The Secret Service has 11 active cases of the coronavirus and 23 employees who have recovered, current and former government officials said Friday, but it was unclear whether any were agents or served in the White House. The service, which has 150 offices across the country responsible for protecting a variety of dignitaries and investigating financial crimes, also has 60 others undergoing self-quarantine, Yahoo News reported. While tested regularly, agents in the president’s detail have not been wearing masks, and new faces have shown up in recent days….
