Wow. The unpreparedness is truly shocking. Thanks for sharing your experience.
T's trying to suppress the coronavirus experts (CDC) information will turn 85% of Americans against him. It will majorly backfire and wake many citizens up. Finally.
Meanwhile in Scotland, there’s a push to investigate Donald Trump’s acquisition of golf course resort properties there and a suspicion that the purchase was a result of criminal activity.
I require developing a better bank of vocabulary words because I am consistently at a loss for describing my thoughts and feelings.
I guess I'll go with The Princess Bride on this one.
Inconceivable!
My husband has a good friend who has been sending him tRumpus propaganda for the past 3 years. He's tried to talk to him and explain reality (the man is older and on medicare) but to no avail. Just the other day this friend actually sent this video to my husband! He is saying that he realizes what a con man and danger he is now. The sending of that note and video shows that there's hope for these T supporters yet!
The Video is "The day Democracy Died" sung by the "founding fathers" to the Tune of "Bye Bye Miss American Pie".

If Twitler is going to fall, why does he keep getting handed victories, like DC appellate ruling that McGahn doesn't have to testify? SO frustrating.
He breaks the law and violates the Constitution daily, and nothing happens. Pisses me off.
@polarberry It's going to feel like a roller coaster ride for a while. An out of control roller coaster, because the rule of law isn't being adhered to. We will get through this and come out better for it.
He is still going to get those wins in court from judges he appointed and a few W appointees that have jumped on his bandwagon. Sotomayor called it out for the SCOTUS, which might force Roberts to back off a little for aesthetics, but those wins will continue overall. He has stacked the deck. The only way for him to fall is to do something so egregious or embarrassing that his base finally turns on him. The courts will have nothing to do with it's all his actions and what is leaked that will cause the downfall.
100% it’s the judges his cronies have passed thru even if they are flawed. The other day he has another win with the courts regarding sanctuary cities saying he can withhold funds. I don’t count them as wins for him.
I wonder what is going to happen to all these judges and of course the biggest one Supreme Court once T and his cronies are gone. Do you think if there qualifications are lies they told be looked into? I hope.
I know. I just can't stand him and the bloated, self-righteous gloating he does when he gets away with something yet again.
He reminds me of the Sarlacc in the Great Pit of Carkoon from Return of the Jedi, greedily consuming everything good with no end in sight.
I pray that the deciding factor will NOT be mass casualities of this new health threat.
I pray we can survive and thrive, that enough brave health officials will ignore unjust orders and give us the info, it must be so. i will pray for those officials to do whatever they have to to circumvent this new cover up.
I feel positive and am hopeful that we will avert the worst case scenario that is being outlined all over our media.
I will not give it stregth by speaking on it, as I do not wish to call it into existence. This is where we must shine the light.
I join you all in shining the light and paving the way for healing for ALL the world and for AMERICA. Long may She live.
@ghandigirl you must be watching Rachel too huh? The whole Italy picture is scary... 4% to 12% to who knows. I hate to say it but I feel that those who will suffer most beyond those poor and unable to seek care, it will be those who buy into the conspiracy theory of the deep state inside the CDC. They will ignore the warnings and their cult leader will march them to their deaths or at least their infection. Please people, wake up.
Your "mini-hits" are what many call "godwinks". Magical in so many ways, these seemingly random synchronicities are of course not random at all but tiny jolts that help to make us aware of the connectivity and patterns that exist between all of us and everything in this world.

Deliberately inflicting physical harm on another via any means, including by infection is violence. Scaring a group of people by threatening to do something violent is also a crime. Also please refrain from making negative generalizations about groups of people, including Trump supporters.
I am sure that many, if not all, progressives have had the fantasy of striking back in some way or other throughout these years. We must not ever do something like that or post about it.
One of the great inventions of our era is non violent protest. History has shown it to be the most effective vehicle of change. Think Gandhi, Mandela, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
As for violent protest, I can't think of a single such event that has done nothing but harm to all.
Violent protest gives your opponent a reason to double down against you. Violent protest preempts any possibility of reaching an agreement or opening your opponent's eyes. Violent protest will be viewed by authorities as an act of terrorism.

I don't now where to post this so please feel free to move it if need be Jeanne. Yesterday at my Yoga practice one of my fellow yogies, who happens to be an intuitive, shared an execise with us. She said when she meditated first thing in the AM her spirit guides strongly urged her to go outside, take off her shoes and socks and stand connected to the earth. From there she concentrated and meditated on healing the earth and all its creatures. We decided to do this as a group. It was very intense and at the same time very refreshing. I plan on doing this as often as I can. Cold toes warm up quickly.
No matter what Turd does or says he is not going to be able to cover up how unprepared we are for this crisis. I believe what we will be seeing is Docs and healthcare workers speaking out. Wait until a trumpster get the virus and they hand them the bill for their treatment! There was a Doctor on "the View" yesterday (I don't watch the show but there was an excert on Facebook) who pointed out that the mask people are buying are only effective until they get wet onthe inside. She also said that a vaccine will take between six and nine months to develope and test. SHe didn't comment ont the cost.
@yogagirl. Thank you for pointing out this exercise! I was thinking of just this exercise when leading healing meditations this week in the Monday night Intuitive Way class and also on Wednesday's Circle of Light healing.
In the base of our feet is an energy point that acupuncturist's call Bubbling Spring. You can heal yourself by walking barefoot on the earth and you can send healing to the earth by taking in energy from the heavens and sending it down through your bubbling spring to the earth. There is much written about that point also called A1. In the summer, I like to walk barefoot in my yard, thinking about the bubbling spring under my feet.
I know everyone is worried about covid19, but a lot of it is hype. Yes, there will be fatalities, but it shouldnt be much different than the common flu. Right now, we are looking at a worldwide fatality rate of approx 2.3%, primarily the elderly. Couple that with the fact there are many with the virus that have not been tested and it is probably closer to 1%, which is a very similar number to most URI/respiratory viruses. The biggest issue with the viral outbreak is that there is no vaccine yet(a year+ out on that because of testing protocols) and the historical parody people are using to associate with MERS/SARS/H1N1/etc. Also, children seem to be most adept at overcoming it. Yes, getting the virus will be bad, but it ultimately wont be much more than getting a really bad bout of influenza for those of us without preexisting immunological or respiratory issues.
I am with you... in my 60's.. auto-immune issues. ..no health insurance...haven't been to the dr in 12 years....but still active and working and caring for myself.I am watching closely, am already staying home except to go to work...self quarantining to protect myself. Making sure I get plenty of rest and eat well and get fresh air and exercise. It is what it is. All we can do is prepare the best we can and not panic and deal with it all as it comes.
@mas1581 What makes this situation a bit more scary than the flu we all know and love, is that it is novel (first time we are experiencing it) Also, the long incubation period makes it easily transmissible without knowing you are sick. On average you can infect 2-3 others before you even know you have it. So high infection rate, combined with long incubation, plus mixed messaging is a recipe for big trouble. Also, we are not prepared as a country to handle the intensive care necessary for serious cases, which will be in our future. We need 750,000 respirators to be ready and we only have a tenth of that available and they are not all earmarked for covid-19. I would stay vigilant and listen to the medical experts. Also, the number of world cases is so much more than the flu. At a 2% mortality rate, the poor or misinformed will get hit hardest! Don't underestimate this situation, seriously. Take a look at what is happening in Italy.
