COULD, Kid, not "should." We don't have "upcoming treatments." We have "potential treatments."


Your glass is about 1/32 full

I stated about 2 weeks back that anti-virals would be used with good result.  And it is of course now quite obviously happening.

You are delusional.

kiid is under the impression that the plural of anecdote is data.

Bambu last posted a week ago.   Is he okay or did the toilet paper thugs or the brown people finally break in?   It's weird,  but I sort of miss his rants.

It took a few rewrites but the Times finally got the DNC preferred talking points into it headlines.

McConnell rarely moves above the level of monotone English 101 professor when he speaks on the Senate floor. That's what made his reaction to the Democratic decision to block the procedural vote stand out on Sunday. The Kentucky Republican was furious -- red faced, banging the lectern in front of him with his finger to make a point and raising his voice several times.

His point was that the procedural vote was just that -- procedural -- and negotiations would continue if it was adopted and allowed the process to move forward.

Instead: "The Democratic leader and the speaker of the House decided to blow it all up and play Russian roulette with the markets."

Pelosi, who returned from California on Saturday night in order to meet in person with McConnell and congressional leaders Sunday, has particularly outraged McConnell, who views her entrance into the talks as single handedly short-circuiting days of extensive bipartisan work.

Let's hope Biden has smart people running his campaign the nation with him. 


He will.  That's how it works.

But smart people can be tossed in tough soup (see Benghazi - and some would say this virus).

Jeezus...

Liz should be on the short list, though she's too valuable to waste as Veep. 

She no longer has ANY values. Her tweet rankings calling the stimulus bill a “ bailout” puts her in the lunatic bin of failed politicians. Joe Biden would be a fool to waste time even talking about her.

McConnell complaining about obstruction?

Ha! That’s rich.

Race No. 1: How quickly can the United States contain the coronavirus? Experts say the pressure on stock markets won't lift until the rate of new infections slows dramatically.

Race No. 2: How quickly can US lawmakers agree on an economic rescue package? Investors were hoping that a deal would emerge over the weekend in the Senate. It did not. Now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that House Democrats will introduce their own plan.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Noyes wrote that “CBS Evening News” correspondent Mark Strassmann was the only reporter on the three network newscasts to mention that China was once heavily criticized for underreporting the SARS pandemic of 2002-03. Strassmann told viewers about China’s SARS issues back on Jan. 21 for 15 seconds, according to the study.


“Neither the ‘NBC Nightly News’ nor ABC’s ‘World News Tonight’ bothered to mention China’s past deceptiveness on SARS, and CBS never re-visited the issue,” Noyes wrote.
