I’m not really sure if this is Dr. Brix as the woman in the picture isn’t wearing a scarf!

People need to ask themselves why there’s no nationally mobilized testing and tracing program in place—even after two months of this. We’re not going to approach normal until that’s at least on its way to reality. It’s obvious that it’s because the orange fat ass is in way over his head. Until testing actually becomes a thing, suggest we keep letting the MAGATs win Darwin awards and stay home.

The Mayor is absolutely correct and any who choose to mingle in a public setting should be avoided wherever possible. That’s why the sensible people will choose to disregard Kemp’s idiocy and not go out. Good luck to all of you.

Yeah. I just read NYT article that says every parking space is full at mall, 200 people at small town funeral… there’s going to be so much suffering and death. They’re uncorking the genie.

It’s going to be very bleak there in a couple of weeks.
I mean, bleaker than normal.

“I don’t take responsibility at all.”
Try to square that circle. I’ll wait.

There was more traffic on the roads today in Atlanta than any day this month. Admittedly I was walking the dog along a residential street but of late I see maybe three cars along the entire mile walk. I saw that many in the first block. This does not bode well for Atlanta.

Stay safe. It was already popping up around the Atlanta area, this is going to make things really bad down there.

Thanks. I have enough supplies for two more weeks. I get out only to walk the dog in the morning and have on a mask. The governor is well, I don’t have words to express my contempt.

It must be really hard to stomach the situation your Mayor is in with so much smartness emanating from the Governor’s mansion. Please stay healthy, safe, strong and ISOLATED as best you can. (We have the same kind of gubernatorial lunacy to contend with next door in Florida.)

He is a white Republican and she is a black Democrat. Need I say anything more.

I was prone to pity Dr. Birx earlier on. Now I just resent her complicit cowardice more than I would like to.

The issue for all of us right now is what is the administration actually doing to get us to the point where we can safely open up? That is the question the Press should be asking everyone in the administration every time they ask for questions. That is also the question the Press should be asking every one involved with public health, treatments and vaccines. The sooner it is safe the sooner we can go to the mall.
I said it before and I will say it again. The Trump administration is planning the victory parade right after the First Battle of the Marne. For those of you who don’t remember your 20th century history, the Battle of the Marne happened in early September, 1914. It was a great French and British victory over the Germans. It was the deadliest battle in human history to that point, but all it did was force the war into the trenches. The war lasted four more years and the Marne wasn’t the deadliest battle in world history for long.

It’s like there’s concentric layers of pity. If a bad thing happens that’s not your fault, you can be pitied, right? What a shame that velociraptor appeared and attacked Uncle Joe. Whatever. But if you’re going along more or less professionally and achieving stuff for decades and then a Trump happens along and you either have to go along with the program or quit, and you go along and lose your dignity and integrity, it’s a more complicated, abstract sort of pity you evoke IMHO. You didn’t immediately make a huge sacrifice, so you’re more and more complicit in the pitiable situation. It’s a pity, simply enough, but not so simply as other things can be. : (

That right there is the kernel of what’s been stuck in my craw from Day One of this maladministration, matt. Person after person has been caught chewing the rubber eraser off their pencil while dithering about trying to decide between loyalty to Current Occupant and fidelity to either their Oath of Office or their good conscience. All would have been better served had they spoken up immediately and said “Something is wrong here, and I need to suggest that we go about this differently.” It saddens me.

Sad indeed. But also criminal when it goes a little farther, no? We have a legal system that lets crooks and con artists and important huge interests skate. Legislators by and large are tepid and unconvincing at protecting we the people. We see this now. Anyone who works be it professionals like nurses and aides, or so called blue collar who literally create and maintain the superstructures of society, are mere pawns. A younger me ER doctor would strongly consider going on strike in this situation rather than risk my life and that of my family going into the COVID cooker unprotected and ridiculed by scummy idiots like Trump.
There must be a massive wealth tax and a giant inheritance tax to return the money to those who actually earned it. Look what happens when an uneducable idiot who inherited money like Trump comes along. For God’s sake, wake the fuck up American.

Trump is a parrot who mindlessly mimics the raving lunacy of the fever swamps.
Everything he utters comes from somewhere else.

That’s easy. He’d take responsibility if he’d done anything wrong, but all of his actions have been beautiful and perfect. Now stop interfering with his me time.
