bummer, I like both of those guys and that was the one time I've ever turned off a podcast with Michael Lewis. Boring, no new information and I can hear better grousing about Trump from my neighbors.
I'm guessing Franken is KICKING himself for resigning right about now
Well, that comment didn't age well.
You posted that 10 days ago.
We are currently at
| 47,973 deaths |
The sad part is that you still haven't learned anything from it.
I watched an ABC (Australian public broadcaster) documentary on catch up TV last night (Foreign Correspondent Behind Enemy Lines, published 2 days ago).Don't know if it is available outside of Aus, but here it is
https://iview.abc.net.au/show/foreign-correspondent/series/2020/video/NC2026H010S00
A reporter follows paramedics, police, ICU nurses, overworked doctors and volunteers in NY. Nurses told by their employer not to talk to press, but a number were willing. Very very grim
20% NYPD sick, officer died 2 days ago according to an officer being interviewed, police raising funds for PPE. Nurses buying their own supplementary PPE, they sounded in an emotionally bad way when interviewed and look like some would be heading for PTSD. Big refrigerated trucks loaded with bodies. Paramedics coming in from the less affected states to help NY.
My brother lives in the UK, it is in a terrible state - 18,000 deaths and because they don't count deaths in care homes could be more like 40,000. He sent me this link from the British public broadcaster - health workers making PPE out of bin bags. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52145140
We have been comparing situations and UK locked down earlier and more strictly than Aus, I asked my brother what went wrong and he thinks just that little bit too late. Aus seems to have lucked out, although government has been stockpiling huge amounts of PPE and maybe it got the testing right.

France has gotten a lot better about counting deaths in nursing homes. All in all France has done OK if you think that an accurate count of deaths is a good metric. We shut down a week or so too late -- should have been early rather than mid-March. We'll be reopening on May 11, but no restaurants/cafes, schooling will be limited, no events or travel. Main failure has been a lack of testing and government ducking that issue.I watched an ABC (Australian public broadcaster) documentary on catch up TV last night (Foreign Correspondent Behind Enemy Lines, published 2 days ago).Don't know if it is available outside of Aus, but here it is

But we have no job losses, because our government is guaranteeing salaries, up to 84 percent of gross pay. Companies that can afford it are filling in the gap so many people are still making 100 percent even if they aren't working. I do love me some socialism.
The prime minister, Edoard Philippe, got in a good dig at the US the other day, noting on TV that 22 million people there had lost jobs...but none in France...
Mother in law passed in her sleep early this morning. Covid and pneumonia. 84 years old though and bed ridden for a decade with dementia. RIP. she was not a good person, let alone mother, to her daughters, sometimes violently not good, but my wife had started to make peace with her childhood over the last several years. so they've been waiting for this call for years basically, and at 5:30 this morning we got it. Just happened to be Covid instead of some other thing. At least in her dementia, the lucid moments she had with my wife over the last several years of visits had been steadily improving. it's like her mind, as it slipped, was purging the mean and nasty side first, leaving behind a mostly absent but occasional sweet old woman.
Learned what?
That people, alive right now, are ALL going to die?
Of something or another?
Even using pre~cautions,
like washing your hands,
wearin' a bicycle helmet, usin' condoms,
etc, etc, etc...
Subway sorry for your loss along with al the others going through this
I don't understand the business of care homes
It's a by product of the boomer generation
In the old days everyone did everything they needed to take care of their kupuna
The boomers decided they were too busy making too much money just another way my generation screwed society
I think it's a good time to start thinking of all the new job opportunities available once the "all is safe" message is given because it's coming even though the virus will be with us forever like the flu. Might as well get ready for the new normal
Off the top of my head I see these opportunities (sorry if some seem a little cold):

Off the top of my head I see these opportunities (sorry if some seem a little cold):
- Restaurant and workplace rapid disinfectant services maybe using Hypoclorous Acid Spraying techniques
- Rapidly deployable Contact Tracing temp employee services (Kind of like traveling nurses)
- Remote Cobol Programming Support (already happening with Cobol Cowboys)
- Personal PPE Manufacturing (Clip on Facemask bags, wearable purel dispensers, wearable disposable glove dispensers}
- Face Mask Fashion Business (As facemasks become the new hip fashion accessory)
- Portable sanitizable communication devices that allow families to "be" with their dying/sick isolated family member
- Fancy sealed urns for cremated family victims + cremation services
- Remote built in temperature sensors built into entrance/exit ways for businesses and airports.
- Fashionable nose clips like swimmers wear
- Antibacterial face cremes like sunblocks except with chemicals that can kill viruses like purel
- Food/shopping delivery services for the at risk sheltered
- Apps that help you track population density in different parts of your city
Conspiracy always involves a "they".....hidden from view...the man behind the curtain. Many folks understand there's likely a monolithic power structure that runs the world....sometimes referred to as the Deep State, Cabal or the Illuminati. The ones who pull the strings across our governments and corporations....but don't know much beyond that. I recently posted a vid that reveals some of their work across governments....main stream media and Hollywood.....AND it reveals their Satanic behaviors. Scary creepy evil sheet.
My understanding is these folks have been in power for a very long time and they have an agenda....a one world government with eventually control over everything important.....water, food, where & how people live etc. They don't care if it takes 'em hundreds of years....as long as it moves in the right direction.
Yeah...I'm wondering if the current state of affairs is part of one of their moves.....and it's a big one.
For those of you who scoff at the notion above....maybe watch this....
It has almost 10M views....
One of those featured is Maria Abromovic...satanic artist..who was featured in a recent Microsoft Ad that was pulled after getting negative reviews...
https://newspunch.com/marina-abramovic-recently-met-jacob-rothschild-stars-new-bill-gates-microsoft-ad/
She's is well connected it seems...here with Jacob Rothschld....in front of a late 1700's painting titled Satan summons his Legions....how fitting....
For those of you drinking the Kool-Aide on this virus....believing everything you see from the media....remember this...."It's easier to fool you than to convince you you've been fooled."

How are other countries handling the financial aspect of this? I'm not hearing much about how Italy, France, Spain, UK, Japan, China, Vietnam, &c, are handling mortgages, rents, credit, et al.
at least he STFU about it and stopped making 50 500 word posts day in and day out
jesus
Subway, so sorry for your loss. My MIL is in her 90's and living on her own not far from you. She is strong, but still our biggest concern during this time.
thanks kelp. if she needs sanitized groceries or anything delivered to her front stoop let me know. If she is still living on her own that suggests some deal of independence but i'm here to help. Shoots, anything i can do to pump some positive energy into the world around me, whatever it may be. My wife is upstairs right now trying to coordinate cremation between the nursing home and a nearby funeral home, and how the remains get to us. My mom is like "have them box it all up and mail it and leave it outside under a tarp for 30 days before you scatter or bury her"
Thanks. While we're 3000 miles away, family is close by. She's independent but well taken care of.
the alcoholic in me doesn't want to drink, but he certainly wants to put on an out of office message, turn off the computer, and just do bong hits and watch every episode of all 72 seasons of Fraser or some sh!t for the next 4 days straight. i'm even getting sick of all of these really good but really stressful and moody shows like Ozark and Homeland etc. I need light escapist comfort material. after 12 hours every day of putting out fires and trying to save my quarter (year), my MIL dying, launching a yoga brand, i need a break; last thing i need is watching The Byrd family fight among themselves and do battle with cartels and the FBI. The new Sherlock with Benedict is pretty good for that actually, though i was disappointed in their handling of the Hound story line in last nights episode
. Man i was supposed to take TWO WEEKS of sort of quasi-medical vacation time after my surgery. Instead i had surgery on Corona Day itself, and well, here we are 6 weeks later. Down one MIL and another couple million in billing.
