No. But it all just goes to show that as a species, we probably don't deserve to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I remember watching a television drama many years ago, in which the late great "little person" actor/singer Michael Dunn was playing a Martian visiting Earth. As is common for that type of story, the character was being used to reflect on Humanity. He wanted to learn everything about Earth as soon as possible, and the humans working with him expressed amazement at how rapidly he absorbed information.

He's taking the drug proactively, to try to prevent catching the virus. Despite there being no evidence it offers any protection. 40 minutes ago, Old Man said: The WH has more coronavirus testing and treatment available than anywhere else in the U.S. It's unlikely that any of them would die.

Sociotard Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Donald Trump is a notorious liar. He may be lying about taking it. That is what I hope for. If he is getting a placebo when he demanded a treatment, the truth will come out, and fuel "deep state" conspiracy theories for generations. If he suffers a serious side effect, this will also fuel those conspiracy theories. TrickstaPriest and Tom Cowan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes to be an effective worker you have to manage up the chain of command as well as down. I'll admit that if you're on the Trump-bashy side of the political spectrum this is a VERY SOLID thing to bash him on. Just, wow. Meanwhile in Texas we had a pretty nasty spike up in cases after the re-opening, but it has dropped off substantially the last couple of days. Total body count is about 1/3rd of a bad flu season but I suspect we'll see somewhere between double and triple the current number before it's over. Anecdotally from my gas and food runs - mask wearing from workers is at a pretty good clip though among the customers it's dropped off to nearly none. Not a great call, imo. My family is still sporting our ninja masks. I got to go to the ER this weekend due to a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder and the hospital is aggressively screening at the ER entrance and mask usage is 100% mandatory for everyone. And you have to use their masks. Don't like it? No service for you.
