If someone drinks mineral water for the first time in their life and happens to recover from being sick the next, it is hard for them not to feel there might be a connection.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

On the news, practically begging people not to flush anything thicker than tp. Plugging up the sewers.

Well, kenarman, you're getting your wish in Spain. They are pulling ventilators from older people and letting them die, and giving them to younger patients. They've opened an ice rink to pile the bodies. 1 in 8 of their medical personnel are infected.

SooPoo, when you speak with your associates, do they mention being short of PPE?

Tanko, you actually believe this BS?
What this DR says is meaningless
If you believe this DR, might as well buy Jim Bakers cure

Cuomo is complaining about the lack of ventilators. In 2015, when NYS realized they were 16,000 ventilators short of the 18,000 necessary in a severe pandemic, the state health commissioner decided to save $575 million and devised a plan to ration them in the event of a pandemic. The state ‘triage officer’ would decide who lives or dies.

"­Patients assigned a red code will have highest access, and other ­patients will be assigned green, yellow or blue (the worst), ­depending on a “triage officer’s” decision."

Looks like they have reached a compromise on the stimulus bill.

The best part? Schumer secured language preventing bailout money from reaching businesses controlled by:

the president
the VP
members of Congress
heads of "executive departments" (cabinet officials)

Extends to their children, spouses & in-laws.

Sorry Donny, we know you were counting on Mnuchin diverting some of the $500B slush fund into your family’s pockets!

Only you! I am glad that is a part of it because it is a good idea to keep those making the laws from profiting from them unduly (like the Senators, also), but the best part of it is helping the American people.

It isn't even close!

This is just a typical troll of Trump, not an actual look at the bill to talk about the best things about it.

In other words, your usual shtick!

FAKE NEWS


"A patient’s attending physician provides all clinical data to a triage officer/committee. At
Steps 2 and 3, a triage officer/committee examines a patient’s clinical data and uses this
information to assign a color code to the patient. The color (blue, red, yellow, or green)
determines the level of access to a ventilator. Blue code patients (lowest access/palliate/discharge)
are those who have a medical condition on the exclusion criteria list or those who
have a high risk of mortality and these patients do not receive ventilator therapy when resources
are scarce. "

There may be more to the story, but it is not totally fake news...
