A couple of weeks ago I had a temp of 102.9, shortness of breath and a dry cough. I was tested negative. Turns out I had "regular" pneumonia.

Trump not gonna let Iranians harass our Navy like Obummer did when they took sailors hostage and embarrassed our country. This is the difference between a strong leader and a weasel who went on an 'apology tour' while he was prez. Shameful

Whether you feel like we may be opening too soon, or not soon enough, we were never going to social distance this thing into nonexistence - I read that a few minutes ago and its the reality we face.
The assumption is we've built up our resources to tackle the Covid-19 cases that will come up as long we continue to practice social distancing and continue common sense approaches like limiting large gatherings.
Lets get this country going and then collectively do everything we can to wipe China off the face of the earth.

Critics go after Trump for saying US would 'shoot down' aggressive Iranian boats
David Jackson, USA TODAY ,USA TODAY•April 22, 2020
To be fair, Obummer never had to deal with flying Iranian gunboats.

I wonder what McConnell would say if Nancy Pelosi refused funding if (or I guess I should say when) Kentucky gets hit by a massive case of scurvy and chiggers, just b/c the rest of the country was relatively unfazed by those plagues?
McConnell says no ‘blue state’ coronavirus bailouts, effectively telling New York to drop dead

he lets states declare bankruptcy and there won't be a public pension paid to existing and future retirees. Every state would bail on them

This is funny and summarizes why I pay little attention to cv news anymore:
“
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
New Guidelines...
Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines:
1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.
2. Masks are useless. But they will protect you. They can save you, no they can’t, they’re useless, but wear one anyway. Now they’re mandatory. But maybe. Or not.
3. Stores are closed, except for the ones that are open.
4. You should not go to the hospital unless you have to go there. Stay out of the ER at all costs unless you’re having a medical emergency then it’s okay.
5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster. Stay calm.
6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help. Especially if you wear the same pair for hours and everywhere you go, then you can not spread germs, nope.
7. Everyone needs to stay home, but it's important to go out because sun. Sunlight will kill the virus but not if the virus kills you first by walking in the sunlight where you may be exposed to the virus.
8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.
9. The virus has no effect on children except those it has affected or will affect.
10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested yet, and a tiger.. and one really deadly but also possibly fictional but very sick bat.
11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms.
12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but also never go out to the grocery store so eat shelf stable processed crap and stay inside your four walls but also stay healthy.
13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you may be arrested if you’re getting fresh air the wrong way and most importantly, don't go to a park, the fresh air there is deadly.
14. Under no circumstances should you go to retirement homes, but if you have to take care of the elderly and bring them food and medication then fine. Just wear gloves. The same ones. All day.
15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy to get your medications. Just don’t make eye contact cause you may spread your sickness that way.
16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to leave your groceries outside for 3 hours to be decontaminated by the fresh air that also may have virus particles floating around in it.
17. Taxi drivers are immune to the virus apparently since you can still take a taxi ride with a random taxi driver. Just don’t take the taxi to your mom’s house because you know. Stay away from your mom.
18. You can walk around with a friend if you stay six feet apart but don’t visit with your family if they don't live under the same roof as you. Even if you’ve all been locked inside for two months already. You may still have the virus and just not know it yet. You’ll find out. Wait another week. Wasn’t that week? Might be the next one. Keep waiting.
19. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance. Social distancing means you shouldn’t leave your house and don’t be social, except you may go to the liquor store but don’t socialize there while you’re being socially distant.
20. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.
21. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.
22. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of…
23. The virus will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity.. but stay inside until the virus disappears.
24. If you are out; look down at the ground because if you make eye contact and say hello then you’ll definitely get it. Maybe.“

Trump Suggests Injecting Disinfectant, Shining UV Light Inside Patients to Kill Coronavirus in Bizarre, Rambling Tangent
By Reed RichardsonApr 23rd, 2020, 7:26 pm
President Donald Trump offered up bizarre and possibly dangerous suggestions about medical research on the coronavirus at his daily White House briefing, suggesting that blasting patients with “tremendous” amounts of UV light, even “inside their bodies” as well as injecting them with the same disinfectants that are used to kill the viruses on surfaces might be effective treatments for Covid-19.
“So, supposing we hit the body with tremendous, I don’t know if it’s ultraviolet or very powerful light, and I think you said that has been checked but your’e going to test it,” Trump said, turning to Bryan in a sidebar moment at the end for confirmation. “Then I said what it if you brought the light inside of the body which you could do either through the skin or some other way and I think you said you were going to test that, too, sounds interesting,” he added next, again turning to Bryan for validation.
But then Trump even went further, connecting the household bleaching agents in most surface disinfectants to a possible internal treatment for humans, which would be toxic and possibly fatal. “Then I see the disinfectant, one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that so that you’ll have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds interesting to me. So we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, where it goes in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”

Socialists with universal health care for all their citizens were the smart ones? I'm sure Crotch won't like that...
Re: Florida State Seminoles

when it boils down to it, there is definitely a case to be made for universal health care
universal health care per se should be a great thing
the problem is , the United States universal health care will be implemented, monitored and controlled by people who are corrupt
that isn't some cynical viewpoint. its just the truth
unless we implement an extreme audit system that keeps our politicians in check, we could never allow the government to own health care. There is simply too much money in it
and we can't even get term limits on Senators, while they vote for themselves to be allowed to sell and trade stock on insider information.

I agree with all of that. If you substitute "national defense" for 'health care", I would say the same thing. Yes, I realize nobody else can conduct national defense but the federal government, but you never hear anybody (certainly not ostensible republicans or conservatives, ever) talk about the literally trillions of dollars that have been either wasted, misappropriated or outright stolen from the American taxpayers, year after year, decade after decade, every second of our entire lifetimes, since before we were born and long after we die. Everybody complains that the federal government is incompetent to run, well, anything, but nobody - nobody - ever says a goddamn words about the hundreds of billions of dollars that are appropriated by and to them every goddamn year to oversee "national defense." Think of the tens of trillions of dollars that have been completely stolen, wasted and not one penny used for what it was supposedly appropriated for our national defense. And nobody seems to give a shit, Oh, but if some overweight black women gets $9000 a year in welfare, everybody is like "the government can't manage shit!! Somebody needs to do something about this!!". But hey, at least Prof made an entire career out of being paid by our taxpayer dollars to support him for doing jackshit nothing, ever. And he's laughing all the way to the grave. Godspeed, motherfucker...
