Man if you're going to be a brownshirt for Donny then at least follow through with some violence for the cameras to make things more exciting for everyone else. Just imagine much more attention the protests would get, Trump'd be the first to tell you that.

Sidenote: My Midwest side of the family who disowned me for choosing Mexicans over the godking took my grandma to a local racing event with ~400 people. She's always been really off and her age hasn't helped so she doesn't really know what she's doing. It's ****ed up that they might end up killing her for two and a half hours of entertainment. I think OH said early on that the gravity of the situation would pan out on partisan lines and goddamn was he right.

From your article, Psy-Fi:

Quote:

The deceased was described by a grieving relative as “a smart and cheerful person”

Not sure, given the circumstances of her death, that "smart" is a well-chosen word. As a minimum, it should be qualified like this, "...an otherwise smart and cheerful person."

That's pretty sad, but unfortunatey she is far from the first person to die for the sake of a selfie.

On the topic of US guidance during Covid-19, much has been made of the mixed messages of Trump+Pence. More sinister though, has been the silent emasculation of the CDC by the Trump admin. Rachel Maddow has recently done a piece exposing the glaring difference between the pre- and post-Covid CDC. I wonder if anyone else has seen it?
Bottom Line:
For decades, in response to health problems like Legionnaire's disease the CDC has given stern instructions to industry: Do this, don't do that.
With Covid under Trump, their messages are full of "perhaps" "if possible" and "could". It sounds like, at every level, the current Federal/WH response is a hopeless muddle.

On a recent earnings call — typically a dry review of financial results — Tesla CEO Elon Musk went off-script, calling stay-at-home orders imposed as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic "fascist."
"Give people back their goddamn freedom," Musk said, adding that the coronavirus shutdowns are taking a toll on his company's manufacturing and ability to source supplies. As Wall Street analysts and investors listened, Musk railed against the restrictions, meant to slow the virus' spread, likening them to "forcibly imprisoning people in their homes."

CNN

Guess what Elan? Broke people and poor people and people forced into exposure of this **** are already trapped virus or no virus. Sorry about your manufacturing sector. Maybe you should give your money back to the people you stole it from. And then kill yourself. K? Thanx

That may be part Trump and part this virus is ****ing baffling in ways we’ve never (?) seen before.

China may not have made a virus from scratch, but it certainly looks like they were tweaking the **** out of one in a lab before it got loose. It's exactly the same way The Stand started, except the bad guy here isn't the irresponsible U.S. military-industrial complex.

Based on it exhibiting a whole host of behaviors that are way outside that family of virus's purview. I'm seeing reports of people in their 20's and early 30's with no pre-existing conditions die from aneurysm due to blood clots this thing causes.
