…said, based on his symptoms, he had COVID. But he did not yet have the *specific* symptoms required for testing, because there are not enough tests. And it didn't matter anyway, because while he was very sick, he wasn't sick *enough* to qualify for hospitalization, since…/2

…and determined that he "qualified" to go to the hospital. He was given a COVID test on Saturday – it came back negative. The MDs *knew* it was a false negative, but because of the shortage of test kits – and the fact that he wasn't sick *enough* to qualify for second test…/4

…test. They tested him at the same time he was placed on the ventilator. He has been unconscious ever since. But HEY! The second test came back positive. MDs now knew for fact that the unconscious man hooked up to a machine that was breathing for him, the man near death…./6

…this is what waits for ALL of you who get seriously ill. And if you have an unrelated heart attack? Suck it up. There are no MDs available. There is no ICU.
It doesnt matter if you are in a red state, a blue state, if you worship Trump or hate him. THIS is America now…/8

…refuses to do it, because he is too caught up in saying what a great job he does and how everyone who questions him is somehow in a conspiracy. NO there are not enough tests. NO there is not enough beds. NO there are not staff and supplies.
And until you accept that, you../10— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) April 15, 2020
…a final note: He remains on a vent. No one knows if he will live or die.
And he does not live in a blue state. Fortunately, it's purple. And every Trump/GOP supporter they know is seeing this nightmare, and their eyes are opening to what a monster we have in the White House.

Excellent ad. More of this from Team Biden.👏
This is the most devastating political ad I’ve seen in years. It reveals the truth about Trump and China, and that truth is ugly. pic.twitter.com/52cNf9Ay9u

So, the majority of the country understands science.
Nearly 60% of American voters say they are more concerned that a relaxation of stay-at-home restrictions would lead to more coronavirus deaths than they are that those restrictions will hurt the economy, according to NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. https://t.co/3wIeUnVlzC

Watching Maddow.
Back to the outbreak at the Smithfield plant in South Dakota.
Got 800 tested positive.
But, the Governor who won’t issue a stay-at-home order, is now saying that there is no need to test the other people at the plant.😠😠
These lowdown, no good muthaphuckas 😠😠

“..I also want to say that our governor has been pretty fair with the black business community in particular, so I don’t have a side to choose…”
-Killer Mike
Suddenly mealy-mouthed, self-serving coward, demurring, parsing, tap-dancing and dodging.. when asked to make a pronouncement on his GOP governor – the loathsome, voter-suppressing, election-stealing, crooked, money before lives even in a pandemic, Brian Kemp..
Killer Mike, the selectively faux-hardline, ‘purity’, faux-progressive, Bernie head-black surrogate, who’s never had a problem endlessly attacking/maligning the ‘anti-black, self-enriching, neoliberal war criminal’ Obamas..
Same Killer Mike who joined in with the endless attacks, smears against the the unelected black FLOTUS for the high crime of being decent/responding graciously to a fellow former/president that she’s required by protocol to sit next to at every national event for the rest of both their lives.. and she’s still maligned to this day by Killer Mike’s Bernie-posse, with a still photo passed around as proof-positive that she’s part of the ‘cabal of neoliberal war criminals’, for a fleeting side hug at the opening of the Smithsonian NMAAHC, which Bush43 approved funds and gave the green light for..
But suddenly, cat’s not only got ‘progressive purist’ Killer Mike’s tongue when it comes to the despicable Brian Kemp.. cowardly crickets … except that he’s even praising Kemp as being ‘fair’ with ‘the blacks’.. in freaking Georgia..
Can’t make this stuff up..

Oh, but didn’t the richest man in the universe donate 100 million dollars to food banks this month? Roughly what he had sitting on his nightstand, more than likely. Maybe the mf’er should pay taxes and then we wouldn’t have to heap praise on him for spreading a few crumbs. This has gotten beyond insane, the extreme income inequality and the belief that billionaires should not be taxed.

From Public Policy Analyst George Chidi about Georgia’s re-opening:
I don’t know if you know about this. But, Naomi Campbell is doing a series on YouTube called Naomi Unfiltered.
Yesterday’s guests were Venus and Serena.

Really in his feelings that the Governor of Maryland got those tests from South Korea, and made it known that’s how he got the tests.😒😒
