What a perfectly wonderful and charming idea. Yes letā€™s. Letā€™s definitely impeach his ass again - a lame duck impeachment. Perfection.

At a minimum, the asshole would go down in history as the only POTUS to ever be impeached twiceā€¦and both in a single term!

Yes. I just donā€™t see one good reason why not.

Do we know that are being underreported? I know some think that. Do we know it to be true?

So, with what has now been said, has Greg Abbot suddenly screamed out of his office yelling ā€œWeā€™re all gonna die !!!ā€ yet?

Sort of expect it anytime now.

Meanwhile Dan Patrick is praying, but totally conflicted. God, I donā€™t wanna die. But if it is in your great plan to take the sacrifice of so many lives and allow so much pain, I am willing. As long you donā€™t let me die. Amen.

Like I believe Dan Patrick really prays.

(I donā€™t.) :wink::face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Put me down as highly skeptical that actual infections are anywhere near 10x the officially reported numbers. That would imply an astronomical transmission rate, and also implies that the virus is far less lethal than the experts have been telling us. The only real way I can see this as possibly being true is if the antibodies they are finding were developed in response to very low levels of exposure to the virus (it seems to take a pretty heavy viral load to cause an infection). If thatā€™s actually the case, we will have herd immunity a lot faster than anyone thought.

Isnā€™t this the same statistic folks who actually knew what they were talking about were warning us about in March? This must be another know one could have predicted this moment.

I tend to think Dan Patrick does pray.

But like that guy in the Toilet Jesus scene from ā€œMidnight Cowboyā€.

Has anyone offered a plausible estimate of what percentage of cases result in this outcome?

Okay, I have seen the movie. But it has been many, many years. So the memory is quite faded. However, considering your description of that, I will not google.

I sort of wonder what his end game was in making one of the stupidest opinions in this entire pandemic. He is likely about as popular as a screw in a tire right now. And the over 60 demographic is likely the unhappiest. He should pray for a nice, dark hole he can hide in as this all goes sour.

Same here.

I got the gist.

I love this system that magically changes letters as I am reading them. I was trying to figure out ā€œdameā€ and it morphed in to ā€œsameā€. Sort of cool effect.

I had to laugh when I saw what Iā€™d done.

Preliminary studies suggest somewhere around one third to one half of hospitalized patients have some lung and/or heart damage. Itā€™s not clear how many of those cases will have diminished life expectancy or quality of life over the long term. Given that there have been around 300,000 people hospitalized for Covid so far, that could be a fairly significant number.

I volunteer to come down and we can double-team him. We could whip him senseless (more senseless) with our ponytails! Mine is getting to be pretty much like a horseā€™s tail. Takes 2 days to dry

My housekeeper went to beauty school long ago. I asked her to cut my hair and she took about 6 inches off of it. God it is so much easier. Itā€™s about mid-back now.
