Quote
If the US had locked down two weeks earlier than it did, it could have prevented 84% of deaths and 82% of cases, according to the research.

If the United States had started social distancing just a week earlier, it could have prevented the loss of at least 36,000 lives to the coronavirus

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/21/us/us-social-distancing-study-trnd/index.html

These deaths a direct result of Trump downplaying the virus, failing to set any national policy, the Trump CDC botching the tests, etc.

Since we're nearly at 100K deaths, that means that over 80K Americans died directly due to Trump.   While over 1M wouldn't have suffered.

Even when Nancy is wrong, his ego won't let him respond honestly, so he officially posted this response to her:


From a couple years ago, before he'd gained as much weight as he has since then.
Lord, I sound like red but what was she wrong about?

Because if he claims 6’3” 245 he is a lying sack of shit. He’s 300 plus.

He'd have to be 320+ to be in that category and there is no evidence to support that contention. Suspicion and opinion are not evidence, as you know.

I’m morbidly obese st 5’9” 245. That guy ain’t 245.

Don’t be a sucker.

He pulls shit right out his ass but we must be accurate to the point we can’t say what’s visually evident?

That bastard is a fat tub of goo and shame on ANYONE who falls for this.

His bones may have ossified from all that Diet Coke and lack of exercise, saving him 10-15 pounds.

We’ll know as soon as someone shoves him down a flight of stairs.

About that Florida woman who said she was fired for “ refusing to censor” Covid-19 data in Florida....


Plenty of censorship,  if you look at other reports...

https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/04/29/florida-medical-examiners-were-releasing-coronavirus-death-data-the-state-made-them-stop/

https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/05/06/under-pressure-florida-released-a-controversial-list-of-coronavirus-deaths-but-key-information-is-blacked-out/

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/05/08/whats-in-the-censored-florida-medical-examiners-database-of-covid-19-deaths/

Scientist or not,  the larger story is not just the fired woman.   Research is your friend.
Then you need to read past the headlines.

And you need to take off label medication. Just like that, the scales will fall from your eyes.

Also eat A lot of coal if you want to stay fit, healthy, and not at all morbidly obese.

I think I will call him slimjim now, both because he’s a crook’s tool and also because standing next to trump (slimjim does all he can to stand next to trump these days) everyone looks slim and sharp by comparison.

Well, here is an interesting milestone passed on your road to the return to normal:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/05/20/glendale-shooting-westgate-entertainment-district-arizona/5234387002/

It's been a really frustrating time for mass shooters.   Hopefully their mental health will improve when they can get back to their normal routines.

Fortunately, this one was frustrated

Trump will lose in a landslide because of the economy, new election model predicts

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/business/economy-election-trump-biden-jobs/index.html

and he is rapidly sinking into dementia


Trump vents as more states move to expand vote-by-mail ahead of November election

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/20/politics/vote-by-mail-trump/index.html

It’s a creepy kind of dementia, only evident in people who are truly terrible to their very core.

Cyber stalking and sexual harrasment?  The plot thickens

https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2020/05/20/as-pence-stands-by-desantis-unleashes-on-former-health-official-1284725

Descamtis knows he fucked up. He just wishes he had never rat fucked his way into office. No the rat is spitting and scratching from where he is cornered. It’s a very typical republican posture these days.

The typical republican posture these days is very unattractive.

Very very attractive these days is taxing the rich, reclaiming some of their wealth, and spending it on public goods like infrastructure.

Stockholm's population percentage showing positive for antibodies is at 7.3%. So much for herd immunity.
