This would be another reason I am concerned:
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-03-20/coronavirus-county-doctors-containment-testing?fbclid=IwAR39cGnXK3P6ipwQ7ag_1PsGxsxFBTij8ejZwkLGZLcfrkazAuT1u6zS2hs

The nation’s second-largest municipal health system has told its staff that it is essentially abandoning hope of containing the coronavirus outbreak and instructed doctors not to bother testing symptomatic patients if a positive result won’t change how they would be treated.

Some people need to lose their jobs, and wiser people need to be put into those positions. 

Of course it matters if we test people, and of course they will be treated different if they test positive. 

We are also going to advance quickly in our ability to treat cases as doctors and researchers battle this illness and share information. And that is a great thing about the world wide web, doctors and scientists can share their findings quickly.

We should not have pessimists in high positions when it comes to helping others, we need optimists who are going to fight to improve outcomes. 

It may not all be roses, but we can fight like hell to improve the outcome.

The pessimists should not be in leadership positions.

Salute,

Tony V.

Impeachment should certainly be considered

This is something some states have done and others have not:

Their projection was up to 2 million in Mass catching a pandemic novel virus.

Ah, yes.
A candidate who blamed her loss on “ voter suppression”.
A favorite democrat complaint that has yet to have one verifiable case to point to.

One cannot prove anything to anybody.

One can only provide the facts and hope that they will be honest with themselves about it.

There is no risk of your being honest with yourself.

There are no facts. That’s why you didn’t post any.

You say that every time you have no countering arguments.

The facts on voter suppression have been posted again and again, but Ward denies them all!

Polls closed? "Oh," says Ward, "there are perfectly good reasons for it," even though he can find none that apply in the specific instances.

Names removed from the voter lists abruptly and without notification? "Oh," says Ward, "they must have fallen afoul of some rule," despite a lack of supporting information.


Hey, Ward, remember not very long ago when you attacked me and then observed that nobody came to my defense?

And how after that, a couple came to mine, but nobody came to yours?

And reading Karl Rove claim that it is a smear is like listening to Trump call a question from a reporter "a nasty question." Your parroting of them is about as substantive.

Except for the repeated falsehood that Trump refused WHO masks (which he did not), a pretty concise and solid piece of reporting.
