Maybe it’s a plea for help, as many “slow suicide attempts” are? Or maybe it’s the medical equivalent of suicide by cop? Or, more likely, it’s being dumb as a box of sox. But most likely it’s a combination of deliberate ignorance, credulousness, toxic Dunning-Kruger syndrome and selfishness.
Hospitals have to be staffed 24/7. No holidays, no breaks. Here’s to the heroes of the hospitals: nurses and doctors and every single healthcare support person (CNA, Resp techs, transporters, food service worker, environment workers..too may to name).
I have developed a scheme to keep people, 6 feet away from me. I have stopped bathing. Still wash the paws and the snout, but that’s it. It’s just been a month, but so far so good. 6 feet? hell, we’re talkin 10 feet on a good day. Give it a try and let me know your results.
Southwest CEO tests positive for COVID-19 after Senate hearing – airline
Southwest Chief Executive Gary Kelly tested positive for COVID-19 after appearing at a U.S. Senate hearing on Wednesday, the airline confirmed on Friday.
Kelly appeared at the Senate Commerce hearing with the CEOs of United Airlines and American Airlines as well as a senior Delta Air Lines executive and the head of a flight attendants union. Kelly drew attention at the hearing for questioning the health benefits of masks on airplanes.
“Kelly tested positive for COVID-19 after returning home, experiencing mild symptoms, and taking a PCR test.”
Republicanism claims more victims: Pandemic deaths among pregnant Americans are now ‘surging’
A new surge of COVID-19 cases based, once again, in Republican-voting states and counties where pandemic safety measures like masking, social distancing, and vaccinations have been mocked or intentionally blocked by state and local Republican leaders. Those Republicans followed Donald Trump in claiming that the pandemic would not be serious, that it would lead to few deaths, and that his administration’s inaction was therefore not just forgivable but noble. The party has since made resistance to pandemic safety measures a core “culture war”-style issue.
Notably, pro-Trump and anti-vaccine protesters have taken to mocking abortion rights protesters with anti-vaccine signs reading “my body, my choice” or variations.
What all of this means, then, is that the self-absorbed and virulently cruel Republican base is now murdering pregnant Americans and causing a new wave of stillborn births because, as a culture war issue, they are unwilling to wear a strip of cloth over their noses or be vaccinated against the pandemic that has already killed 800,000 Americans. This is a very mean way to phrase it, to be sure, but it is absolutely true. Every nonmasking bully who believes that “freedom” requires them to ignore and belittle safety measures is responsible for spreading a virus that is causing these deaths; you need not worry about their feelings because none of them, to a person, gives a damn that their selfishness and paranoia is killing those around them.
We know this because they all insist upon it.
This is the newest Republican Party and Fox News legacy. Tucker Carlson and Ron DeSantis have a new class of victims, and they do not care.

Remember: Trump: “It’s a Democrat hoax.” Hence, he became a mass murderer.
