My cousin, who is skilled at sewing, made a cloth mask with a pocket that would hold a standard grocery store coffee filter (which could then be discarded at the end of each day), and then made copies for family members and co-workers.
oh, Joan Baez did a fantastic job, I was just being whimsical imagining what circumstances would cause McNaughton to paint such a thing... and I realized he would have to have a drastic change of heart. :)
Those many refuse to own up to the facts and reality of the current climate. I've never had the luxury. I break it all down in to digestible pieces so I can get through the day. Today is a sanity check day as my nerves are shot. I am not reading any news and I always take weekends off. I care too much and it wrecks me.
Sports metaphors get a deer in headlights stare from me.However, I *did* have a former boss who once said, "It's ridiculous to dislike me for superficial reasons, when, if you REALLY got to know me, you'd find so many more substantial reasons to dislike me", and I wasn't about to miss the chance to riff on that.
The latest number of long-haul covid sufferers in the USA that I heard of (on the radio, so who knows?) is 19 MILLION. So far. Caveats given: even as the pandemic turns endemic, we'll still have deaths and long-haul covid each year, so don't relax your guard, you don't want to get covid, and you certainly don't want to get it again. Also, just as cases and deaths are under reported in various areas of the country, so are long-haul covid cases. They're still trying to get accurate counts.
Exactly so. Trump could have appeared even halfway competent and he would have cruised to victory, I think. 2020 is entirely at Trump's responsibility.
My sister: listened to Fauci, got COVID while vaccinated, alive.
My cousin: listened to trump, got COVID unvaccinated, dead.
It's so dumbfoundingly simple, and so depressingly sad.
I want to pull my hair out when ABC News et. al. still treat it like a fucking debate, they give aid and comfort to deadly misinformation that kills my family
I cannot help feeling that if the good doctor were six foot two Andrew Foster from Dacron, Ohio, the red hats would not hate him as much as they do.They would still hate him, of course, for A) having the temerity to know more than their cult leader, B) being educated, and C) telling them to do something that would benefit others -- but it would not be anywhere near the same level of ::ahem:: vendetta that they have against the ethnic guy from Brooklyn.
I particularly liked (not really) when they said, "IT WON THE NOBEL PRIZE!!"1. People, not drugs, win the Nobel Prize.2. The developers of insulin won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, but I don't see any non-diabetics taking it for shits and giggles.

I’ve told people, “When someone passes you the ball under the hoop, the crowd expects to see you dunk.”

a complete lock down like China? That is not working even now.
why in the world would you want them to be open?
So we can get all the tiny thug minorities we quickly turn into full adults out of our sight while we drive to the Munch-n-Gulp. Naturally!

But to a Republican...

regularly scheduled reminder that Fauci is from Brooklyn. he ain't the one.
"It’s a somewhat tedious vendetta at this point"

Amen.Being a doctor is an exhausting, stressful job (as is being any kind of health care provider), and he's a very young 80.
May I suggest this portrait painted by none other than Joan Baez?

Setting aside for the moment that these idiots never shut up about "handouts"...Isn't that what the PPP loans were supposed to have been?
