My brother tested positive.  He's a sheriff and of course, comes in contact with lots of people.  I'm especially worried because he battled asthma as a kid.  He's currently at home under quarantine wearing a patch on his arm that dispenses antibiotics and we have to take stuff to him and drop it at the front door.  

 

I talked to him on the phone last night and he sounded so bad.  

 

We now wait and hope 🙏🏻

 Sending positive thoughts to your family due to your brother's situation. We all hope to hear good news after the wait.

 

Not surprised.

OF COURSE you should halt funding to the World Health Organization during a pandemic. This evil man will kill us all.

This is not the first time I've heard of this. Very interesting.

 

A new U-M study found that countries with a policy mandating tuberculosis vaccinations have significantly slower growth of both #COVID19 cases and deaths, as compared to all other countries. https://t.co/UmPkYngZWS pic.twitter.com/j7io3AQKNH

This crisis has drawn into sharp relief just how much the U.S. has relied on immigrant labor, both legal and undocumented, to keep the economy functional. Sadly, I don't expect the U.S. government (or a majority of U.S. citizens) to admit this.

29,000 health care workers—nurses and health aides, paramedics, technicians and doctors—on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic are facing additional concerns about their fate as they await a Supreme Court ruling over DACA. (1/7) #NBCNewsThreadshttps://t.co/c2szb4PXix

Russia's problems with alcohol over-consumption are being exacerbated by coronavirus, as some mistakenly believe that vodka consumption helps prevent infection. Doctors are preparing for an influx of patients who have coronavirus and alcohol poisoning. Not surprisingly, the rates of domestic violence have jumped in Russia, as the rates are increasing worldwide.

AFAIC, the media can kiss my fat, gay, black ass.  You think Donald Trump's daily briefings on (his boasting of his "perfect" handling of) the coronavirus are dangerous and shouldn't be televised live or at all?  Well, you knew what you were getting yourselves (and the rest of us) into four years ago, when you provided oxygen to the man's hints, allegations and outright lies.  We are where we are, because, by your estimation, Hillary Rodham Clinton had to be stopped.  So, as Julia Sugarbaker would say, if things haven't turned out as you expected, then you have only yourselves to blame.

So ironic that Bolsonaro would try to bring gender into how someone "fights" coronavirus when there has been quite a significant amount of studies that have shown that women appear to be better at fighting COVID-19 than men, apparently having to do with chromosomes.

The fact that women have two X chromosomes, compared to one for men. That XX combination seem to be connected to cell protection and immune system function.
