I have to stay home until I get the results of my COVID-19 test, which I took Friday, two weeks and two days after experiencing the slightest chance of exposure. I can't go back to work till I get the call (today, tomorrow at the latest), and I am an essential health worker. I have the paper to prove it, signed by our clinic's medical director.

Barriers to entry, set by the 2 major parties, make that extremely difficult.

No, Barr has been out making speeches and other public appearances during the last couple of weeks, unfortunately.

I just looked it up - there have been no Top 20 instrumental hits since 1999.

We were issued letters from the governor's office as well as our own company stating we were essential; some of the population we care for receives state funding. Like you, I don't currently need it but I still carry them.

I second your GFY to pence.

Yeah if arguing with people on social media worked, anti vaxxers would not be a thing, nor the flat earthers

For a full understanding, watch the great character of Gary Walsh on "Veep" portrayed hilariously by Tony Hale.

Did a little search and found the song "Wipeout" is based on this song. That's what I thought when I heard it.
