Agreed. The covid-19 was used to push a lot of agendas in that bill from all the parties. Despicable

We need free testing, test kits, masks, eventually more hospital rooms.

Kind of off topic but also contains lots of pandemic stuff -- that vid reminded me of a University conference in 2017 on Youtube, thought it was Edinburgh but checked and its Trinity College Dublin, where many Nobel Prize winners and top experts give basically 30 min talks on the state of their corner of science, etc. Among them lots of stuff on Pandemics and biology which is pertinent. Well worthwhile for a thumbnail update on the state of science and related matters from experts you won't see in mass media.

Elmhurst Hospital is doing a very valiant job, keeping multiple patients on one ventilator.

This is kind of weird though.

I’ve been trying to get my friends that work in hospitals to phone in so I can get their descriptions of what’s going on and what the supply shortage has meant even now (being mindful that projections have NYC still more than a week away from peaking). I’m gonna try to rush that out when I have it. It’s been scary to hear about. I’d really like to get some comments from friends that do imaging about what people’s lungs look like in light of new messaging about healthy people rushing back to work or even chicken pox party type strategies (absolutely nuts).

was speaking to one of my clients this morning, and he was scared sh*tless because his friend just died of this virus. the victim (50s, healthy overall) wasnt feeling well, went to the hospital to get checked, got worse and died the next day. my client finally locked himself and his family inside the house.

Imagine being such a POS that, when the people who elected you are dying, all you can think about is how to steal their money.

Help your immune system fight. Take vitamin c tablets, tumeric tea and rest a lot.

Hope all is well!

And...

Knicks still suck!

I live in San Diego now but my parents still live a block away from the hospital. I made that joke earlier in the month to my mom when this whole thing wasn't serious yet. I kept telling her I hear corona is close and she was like no there's no case here yet. Now I'm worried because she doesn't listen and goes out to buy groceries and she's already in her 70s.

This is a total exposure.

A healthy nation does not raise kids on garbage fake foods like McDonalds. Allowing Monsanto to produce all kinds of dangerous GMO foods, is not a healthy nation. Poison fish farming and heavy meat consumption, is not a healthy nation. Garbage sugary cereals being fed to children causing early diabetes, is not a healthy nation. The FDA is a joke, hand in the pocket agency.
Big Pharma is BIG time guilty, pills for this, pills for that, just watch the commercials on CNN. You've seen it, pills that cure acne but damage your liver...why is that even legal?

Getting hit by something unprecedented like this, you start to realize just how unhealthy we are as a nation.
Hopefully after this, we'll wake the fk up and start demanding real quality, healthy affordable foods from all our food sources..
But there's little optimism in that, we're too much like sheep.
