Taking one for the team and starting this.
I've been spending most of my time reading about coronavirus. I read that a scientific journal article (don't know how they managed that through the censors!) that about 40% of the cases are being contracted from inside the hospitals. Also that they've stopped selling cough syrup to try and find people with symptoms. And they are rounding people up they think might be sick and detaining them. This is all fine. I am recovering from pnuemonia myself right now, and at least I was able to take antibiotics for it which helped. I feel for all those with coronavirus.

Did the article mention if the cases contacted in hospitals were workers or people already at the hospital? It's times like these that I really value the dedication that medical staff show to their patients.

It was a small study, but of the 138 people with the virus the doctors investigated, those who contracted it inside the hospital were determined to be 40 health care professionals and 17 patients already admitted for something else (about 41% of the total people).

Idk why I’m even wondering but why has no one told him what a TBI is?? But probably they have and he’s just an incredible man baby ass hat.

I just saw someone on Twitter refer to 45 as #3 and I admit that I chortled a bit. (3rd to get impeached, it took me a minute to figure out).

Argh this is disgusting. I am at the gym again and stuck watching Tucker Carlson. He is essentially driving down Skid Row in LA and staying aALL of LA is like that. And he has Adam Corolla on the show saying that the government and police don't care about the homeless dying on the street of overdoses, they care about giving soccer moms and celebrities tickets because they have money. They don't bother the homeless people because they have no money. They are calling them "empty bags" because there is no money in them.
Every time I try to give the right a chance they have news ways to prove they are disgusting trash.
