I continue to ask: what about the “rights” of doctors and nurses to not treat these fucking idiots?

And six times what it was at its worst in the spring. When we were shut down and watching the rate fall to a remarkably low level. This is insanity. God damn Trump for all eternity.

228,000 cases on Friday.

All the doctors tell me… they meet me and say, “Sir, thank you.” And I say, “What for?” I don’t know all this medical stuff. I’m just a business genius being attacked by the deep state. And they say, “Sir, you were the one who took our minds off our student loans.”

I’m old enough to remember when it took nearly four months to mark two million cases. Thanks to Republican driven efficiencies, we now manage it in nine days.

So much winning.

Well that has started in some places. There are ethics boards that will determine if you can have a hospital bed, or just be sent home to die.
The yelling and screaming that went on with the SARS, Swine Flu, and Ebola when we have now surpassed all those deaths combined is mind boggling to me.

Locally in Bexar, the rolling average here bumped from 830 on Monday to 930 Friday. 30 days ago, that average was 212. It started reaching for the stars around the 20th.

I recently learned from a friend that someone she knew was in a car accident and died. My friend learned she didn’t believe in seatbelts and also she was a fast driver. I mean, really. I’ve been wearing one since sometime in the 60’s. I thought there was something called common sense when it came to some of these things.

The Republicans’ most successful accomplishment is their mastery of public outrage. It’s unsurpassed. I only wish we had the same machine.

Wait until they have the staged theater of getting the first vaccine shots at the White House.
Trump will act as if he cured Covid 19 and surely deserving of a Nobel Prize in all categories.

Ask God not to forget all the moronic and cowardly Republican enablers, please. They deserve eternal damnation as well.

Interestingly, death is a sign of COVID-19, not a symptom. Symptoms are what a patient experiences and reports. A sign is what an observer (Emergency Responders, medical people) sees or determines by tests, manipulation, other criteria. It is something to ponder.

I thought the law in Texas was you can have open containers in the vehicle equal to the number of occupants minus one. That proved the driver wasn’t drinking!
