I wonder what the rate is for board members in Minnesota

“NEW TODAY: Minnesota ranks second in the country behind South Dakota for new cases per capita over the past two weeks. One in every 136 people in Minnesota tested positive in the past week.”

That’s fucking insane and unacceptable.
 
I'm a little late with this, but yes, I hope Rudy suffers serious COVID symptoms and dies. I know this is highly unlikely as republicans have efficiently created a system whereby rich, white people have access to full, immediate, comprehensive care that is currently being rationed to 99% of the country, but a fellow can hope.
 
My dad was placed in a nursing home last year following a series of strokes. He has dealt with two brain tumors in his life. Numerous complications from said tumors. Complications from diabetes. Heart issues and more. On more than one occasion, my family thought "this is it, he can't beat this" and then he did. He was stronger than any of us thought. Just after Thanksgiving, he was diagnosed with Covid. On Friday, my mom signed paperwork to add hospice care to his team. They allowed her to visit him on Friday and again Sunday (she wore the full PPE the nursing staff would wear). This morning, he passed away. Just shy of 70 years old (would have turned 70 on Dec 31). Sure, some might say his quality of life wasn't the best even before the diagnosis. But he had willed himself to live through so much more. IT DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN THIS WAY.

I'm so sorry man. This...

I'm sorry. I wish we had proper words for this.
 
So, today being December 7, a natural comparison should be Pearl Harbor. 2,403 US personnel died on Dec 7, 1941. Remember how angry this country was after that day of American deaths. How many PH's are going to die today, and the result is still a lot of people in denial of what is going on. Or denial that we can do anything about it. Sad.

The Trump administration may have bungled the spread and containment of the coronavirus, but they were laser focused on Operation Warp Speed and getting a vaccine as fast as possible, and out to the American people. Donnie hinged much or his re-election campaign on this fact. They were gonna get the vaccine rollout right. Right?

Well, not so fast.

Trump administration officials passed when Pfizer offered in late summer to sell the U.S. government additional doses of its Covid-19 vaccine, according to people familiar with the matter. Now Pfizer may not be able provide more of its vaccine to the United States until next June because of its commitments to other countries, they said.

The incompetence just keeps on coming.

Rebekah Jones, the Florida data analyst fired from her position with the Florida Department of Health, had her computer equipment sized by Florida State Police at gunpoint today.

A little more reading shows the warrant and subsequent seizure of computer equipment were the result of an investigation of an unauthorized access to Florida's emergency alert system where messages were sent through the system to first responders urging them to blow the whistle on lies being spread statewide.

Is this going to be another situation where the whistleblower faces more consequences than the perpetrator of said awful deeds (see: Steubenville)?
