either way, the stupidity levels are off the flamin' chart. so glad that twat got the boot, though... his firm acted right but they probably knew all about his inclinations anyway; only because it went public and made them look bad that they did something about it.

not according to all the health care workers out there on the front lines, putting themselves in the path of danger attempting to save lives and treat the sick, working untold hours without enough equipment and having to innovate--using equipment not intended for such purposes for emergency and temporary treatment for those who can't breathe without aid.

Oh, is that . . .a fact?

Yes. It is fact. One that is easily verified if you know anyone that works on the front line.

Talk to a doctor. Talk to a nurse. Or believe the blogs you post....pretty simple for anyone w a brain

Wooooooooooosh!!!!!!

 

[Curmudgeonly]

The "front line," you say?

. . .Sounds very martial.

Govenor Andrew Cuomo with the largest and most exposed group of healthcare workers in the nation thinks it is not a fact:

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the new information “amazingly good news.”

“We were afraid of what would happen with our healthcare workers, and we’ve found that they’re being infected at about the same rate or lower than the general population,” he said. “That is amazingly good news, right?”

. . .from the Right-wing, Reactionary Nassau County, New York paper that you dismissed.

Perhaps you would prefer US News and World Report? https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2020-05-07/cuomo-new-yorks-health-care-workers-have-lower-coronavirus-infection-rates-than-the-public

According to data from 27,000 employees in 25 health care facilities in downstate New York, 12.2% of health care workers across the five boroughs of New York City were diagnosed with COVID-19, compared to 19.9% of the general public. Nearly 7% of workers in the Westchester area, just north of New York City, were confirmed to have the virus, compared to 13.8% of the general public. And while the trend is also true for workers and the public in Long Island, the percentages are nearly equal,11.1% compared ro 11.4%.

...and then you realize that even if true, NY isn't the only state overwhelmed by this virus.

Trump Declares COVID-19 Will Vanish 'Without A Vaccine,' Contradicting Experts

“I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests. This is going to go away without a vaccine. It’s gonna go away, and we’re not going to see it again, hopefully, after a period of time,” Trump said at the White House after meeting with Republican members of Congress.

He did admit there might be some “flare-ups” before COVID-19 goes away, but “maybe not,” and predicted, “we’ll be able to put them out.”

We got us a fucking miracle acomin'!

I’ve worked the coronavirus front line — and I say it’s time to start opening up

Yes. It is fact. One that is easily verified if you know anyone that works on the front line.

I’m an emergency physician at St. Barnabas Hospital in The Bronx. I have been in the ER every day these last few weeks, either supervising or providing direct care. I contracted a COVID-19 infection very early in the outbreak, as did two of my daughters, one of whom is a nurse. We are all well, thank God.

First, the wave has crested. At 1 p.m. April 7, the COVID-19 arrivals slowed down. It was a discrete, noticeable event. Stretchers became available by 5 p.m., and the number of arriving COVID-19 patients dropped below the number discharged, transferred or deceased.

Second, I worry about non-coronavirus care. While the inpatient units remain busy with sick COVID-19 patients, our ER has been quiet for more than a week. We usually average 240 patients a day. For the last week, we averaged fewer than 100. That means our patients in this diverse, low-income community are afraid to come to the ER for non-COVID care.

Third, inordinate fear misguides the public response. While COVID-19 is serious, fear of it is being over-amplified. The public needs to understand that the vast majority of infected people do quite well.

No state, including New York is "overwhelmed" by the virus, but New York has tried very hard to be and should be fully credited with that effort.

They are probably not going to be overwhelmed anytime soon. . .

. . . now that they realized that strap-hangers are not social distancing and decided to sanitize the cars after 115 years.

Did you read where they decided that the workers should now be tested for the virus at the nursing homes that account for half of all deaths?

That might hurt their preeminence.

My neighbor died from complications of diabetes, copd, and numerous other things because he was afraid/unwilling to deal with the er protocols.

Goes on the covid death list or not?

dear lord, i missed that *shouldn't be stunned but still am*

Pressed about what evidence he has seen that the pandemic will vanish without a vaccine, Trump responded: “I just rely on what doctors say. They say it’s gonna go.” (Hear his remarks in the video above.)

Doctors don’t say that, however. Just last month, Trump’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said that COVID-19′s spread is “not going to be over to the point of our being able to not do any mitigation” — taking precautions such as social distancing, for instance — “until we have a scientifically sound, safe and effective vaccine.”

the unknowns about this coronavirus are still revealing themselves, and it may turn out to be another endemic virus amongst the world population, controlled only by vaccine and treatments

Or maybe not, but whatever, Trump will be wrong. amirite?

It is said that if you put a thousand monkeys in a room with a thousand typewriters they will, eventually, write a book. Same, same for Trump. Eventually after enough tweets, incoherent rants and disconnected ramblings he will be right about something.

You're close:

The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Are you electing Trump for infinity?

The idiots who worship dog-eat-dog economics are leading the way toward America becoming the world leader in deaths-per-capita due to COVID-19. Many Americans have truly been conditioned to believe that freedom equals acting selfishly.

Similar to the collapse of the British Imperial Empire during the 20th century, we are now witnessing the collapse of the American empire.

It's only fitting that the fault lines in America are becoming most obvious during the botched response to a respiratory pandemic by the Trump administration. Right now the Deplorables-cum-Covidiots are frantically trying to deny the long term impacts of these fault lines, but that, too, is related to their selfish instincts and ideological purity conditioning.

We are watching a train wreck in slow motion. The new media has gotten used to exploiting "breaking" stories and then rapidly burying them when sales drop off, but this bigger arc of history will not conform to these weekly news cycles. Whether America can set aside its selfish instincts and accept reality, similar to the FDR era, remains to be seen.

However, given all the new variables involved that were not as pronounced preceding the Great Depression, I am skeptical that America will make the FDR-style transition to a practical acceptance of reality.

Other countries will hopefully provide new inspiration for exemplary governing principles.

So you know nothing about the history of either nation and you don't know what the term empire means.

Not at all shocking.

Delusional as ever.

Sorry, the CCP isn't going to inspire the USA to be the communist shit hole you desire, sorry it's been rejected, you lost, get over it.
