Trump weekends in Florida as fear of the Coronavirus rises.
Meanwhile the state of New York, finally giving up on the federal government's lack of test kits, has been doing its own testing around the clock. Finding 76 confirmed cases, they are declaring a state of emergency.
Lacking test kits, we now have a situation in the United States where infected people may be freely infecting others. Once testing actually starts happening more readily, the number of cases could explode.
Did you see his visit to the CDC?
He can’t believe that this comes natural to him? He knows so much.
The Coronavirus has officially arrived in our community, too, with a male patient in his 50’s admitted to our local hospital. My husband volunteers at that hospital and I go to physical therapy there. Evidently, the patient was admitted a few days ago. We are an hour south of Seattle and hospital nurses told my husband they didn’t expect to see many COVID19 patients here. That was two weeks ago.
Thanks to our community and lots of helpful posts on this site, we are prepared to stay home as much as possible. However, I worry about the wine stash. Do we have enough? I wish I had gone to the cannabis store, too. Sorry. Just keeping it real. This is a public service announcement to those who still have time to make those purchases.
I heard on the evening news that of the 21 passengers (as of that newscast) 19 were crew. And out of them 7 had just been working on the Diamond Princess !
And the Grand"s next scheduled docking is in Astoria, Oregon. Needless to say that cities residents are quite concerned.
I live in Salem which is 3 or so hours of away. And I just recently learned that a local family of five (2 adults and 3 young children)are all being tested for COVID-19.
This is still at the earliest stage without public announcement. Talk about bringing the issue closer to home. Really praying they will all test negative big time.
O
Italy is putting 11 regions including Venice on total lockdown until April 3rd. You will need a pass to get out.
I am a bit shaken hearing my husband read this news to me tonight. ?. The seriousness of this is sinking in...
Love and healing.
Fearless Leader said in his "speech" at the CDC - " “Anybody who wants a test can get a test,” Trump said during a tour of the CDC’s laboratories in Atlanta. He swiftly revised the statement, saying moments later: “Anybody who right now and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test.”
Truth is? Peoples doctors are having to fight tooth and nail to get patients tested and we have new cases popping up everyday.. plenty of folks who have been in contact with those already diagnosed are getting sick and yet to be tested here in Georgia.
He failed miserably in that appearance... No leadership whatsoever.. just a braggarts childish speech touting his "superior knowledge, why he cancelled then cam again anyways (was told a CDC worker had the virus..but then ..it wasn't and he came - Oh Joy NOT!) Listen to this bs here: https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/president-trump-calls-off-planned-trip-cdc-atlanta-69433278
Somehow his lies do not reassure me... but then again... neither does it alarm me... as a member of the working poor without health insurance for the last 15 years... I haven't relied on our countries health care for much of anything. I sigh and realize that we have a dysfunctional and mentally a two year old..running the country.
Yes... the numbers are rising... yes.. if more tests are available .. more cases will be confirmed.... I have a feeling they are saying one thing and doing another.. as usual.
I woke up this morning surfacing from a dream in which I'd seen a pale and bloated Trump hooked up to a very, very, very long respirator tube and heard, "He's throwing thousands under the bus." Right now, in the eye of the growing health crisis, his hyper-narcissistic self indulgence, unchecked blathering of mis-information, and unconscionable distortions of the truth, coupled with his complete inability to grasp the reality of what true and empathetic leadership entails, is callously putting untold numbers of lives in life-or-death danger ("throwing thousands under the bus").
Yes... buy up any Tito's you find... not for making hand sanitizer... to drink !! "medicinal purposes" You know.. a Bloody Mary - drink your vegetables LOL A Screwdriver - use tools LOL or a Tito's American Mule to do the hard work ;-) I missed out on getting the Tito's but I have plenty of dark chocolate :-) and I got the TP before the TP run began :-)
