The Virgin Orbit company has been working together with UCI and others to create a cheap new ventilator, which can help people in poor nations such as in the Philippines and Brazil...

https://virginorbit.com/virgin-orbit-uci-and-ut-austin-design-new-mass-producible-ventilator-for-covid-19-patients/

And we need to send lots of Vicks products to the Philippines and Brazil as well.

We need to help the poor people as this disease hits them.

And of course we all need to eat lots of oranges and raw garlic.

Salute,

Tony V.

Had an enjoyable 2 days outside the news

So, what is going on?  Any heroes out there - or just villains?

Some of each, as always.

On the national stage, Fauci and Birx continue to be heroes. The captain of the aircraft carrier is a hero - might not have been, but by the military's yanking him off his ship for exposing the extent of the problem (which finally got his bosses to act), they made him into a bit of a martyr. His crew gave him a loud and convincingly supportive send-off as he left the ship, ostensibly in disgrace.

Yeah - tough business, that officer thing.

I trust he will be re-assigned and be ok, head high.

His career is toast. But the SEAL who murdered prisoners was reinstated.

He added that people were "taking the Chinese number of 80-something thousand infections and saying, 'look how great they did it and look how bad we're doing it' -- and that's not only wrong, that's a national security issue. We know that that is a propaganda-influenced effort that they're undertaking, along with Putin in Russia and even the Iranians. And national security and the national interest of this country does not stop -- that's an ongoing concern even amidst this crisis."

Marco Rubio, speaking truth

I like Ruhle.  She need not defend her entire brood.

Fifteen cases, down to zero in no time was propaganda causing a national security issue by that lens.

Noticed you had no objection to villains in the Senate Majority and White House. I’ll take it as a major milestone in your three year journey toward the obvious.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned Wednesday that 4 million residents in the Big Apple could become ill.

“It’s a fair bet to say that half of all New Yorkers and maybe more than half will end up contracting this disease,” he said during a press conference, according to the New York Post.




Oh, Warren....

Tony Boselli was saved

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is likely not too thrilled

It’s looking more and more that trump has been aware of how he can fix the shortages for quite some time (governors and all those people he fired have been yelling it at him for weeks if not months) and his inaction is a deliberate move to benefit the profiteers.

Typical trump. In fact typical GOP. We may even have a Kelly - Kelly Anne - Ivanka triangle here.

Jared showing his ugly mug makes this looks like his bovine foray into the china shop of Middle Eastern affairs on the tax payer dime to find a buyer for his devilish and doomed Manhattan building. Trump is the Walrus. Jared is the Carpenter.

Or this if you prefer

I hate to quote myself, but it’s the easiest way to put this in proper context

States that follow NY and socialize their medical infrastructure will have more citizens survive this mess per capita than states that resist the move.

2024?

Bruh.

If this shit doesn’t “go away like a Miracle” you’ll be lucky if people don’t storm the Bastille, so to speak.

I do believe there are a whole lot of white people waking to the fact that they too, are “THEM.”

Conservative Republicans have always preached government “IS the problem”

Libertarians demand limited government because they believe in the American ethos of
“Rugged Individualism”

Welcome to the America you wanted.
