Test,
Test and Test Again.
"Reported" U.S.
coronavirus cases:
Feb. 19: 15 cases
Mar. 19: 13,229 cases
Apr. 19: 746,379
cases
May 19: 7 million?
14 million? 21 million?There's
no vaccine, no reliable
treatment, no mass-testing,
no wooden stakes,
no silver bullets,
no holy water. Nothing
to stop the spread.
All the public has
to protect itself
from the virus is
shelter-in-place
and obsessive-compulsive-Howard-Hughes
levels of hygiene.
Meanwhile, what does
Lt. Gov. Dan
Patrick of my great
state of Texas think
about all this? (The
following
is a 100% verbatim,
unedited quote from
a recent Fox News
interview.)
"There are more
important things
than living,
and that's saving
this country for
my children and my
grandchildren and
saving this country
for all of us."
The "more
important" thing
he's referring to
is profit.
The profit
his radio stations
make. Yes, radio
stations.
If the coronavirus
was a house fire
Patrick would expect
us, the public, to
leap onto the roof
and smother the flames
with our bodies.
Meanwhile, he'll
be pocketing the
dough from all the
pimple-cream ads
played in the breaks
between the breathless
reporting of the
carnage. Buckle your
seat belts. Gonna
be a bumpy ride.
Any bets about what
May will bring?
--------------
From AP News:
28% of patients given
hydroxychloroquine,
plus regular care,
died anyway.
Versus 11% of patients
who died who didn't
get the drug.
Hydroxychloroquine.
t-Rump's "game-changer".
(On the Fox News
web site, to no one's
surprise, there's
currently
a screaming headline
that says 25% of
doctors recommend
using the drug. Yeah,
25%. That's approximately
the same percentage
of people who'd vote
for t-Rump again
even if he barbecued
live kittens on the
White House lawn.)
And where did all
this hydroxychloroquine
nonsense start? Evidently
from a segment that
Fox News' Laura Ingraham
did about the drug.
As usual, our TV
President thought
Laura was talking
directly to him and
he wouldn't shut
up about it... until
the past day or so
when the bad news
about the drug started
rolling in. Now he's
like "Hydro what?
Hydroxy who?"
--------------
These "anti-isolation"
protests aren't what
they seem.
You see, when white
supremacists discovered
that minorities
were dying in disproportionately
larger numbers than
whites as a result
of the coronavirus
they reached for
their AR15s and said "Honey?
Break out the good
hoods. We're payin'
a visit to the capitol!"
