I read somewhere recently that China is reclassifying dogs from livestock to pets.

Major expose in the NYT of Captain Coronavirus' dithering and denial, on top of his dismantling of preparation for similar scenarios following earlier pandemics. The investigative work includes a trove of 'Red Dawn' emails secured under FoI.

But what about my popularity? Let's do a deal with Saudi Arabia and Russia to boost my stockmarket. Old people die of the flu every year! Any word on my popularity? Blame China! Who do these medical people think they are? I have built these best economy since the Great Depression! What do people think of my handling of the economy? Blame the Democrats for politicising it. Jr. my real estate holdings. I don't care if a few people die. Tell the fed chairman he's out. It's better to leave the position vacant than deal with another so-called expert. Daddy's the best, isn't he? Send a tweet tanking their stock if they don't hold a press conference praising my handling of the crisis. Yes I'll lift the tarrifs if they send the equipment. Increase the crackdown on Iran instead. Tell those Christian motherf#_&rs around the country they owe me this Easter. But old people die; they're old! Are my numbers looking good? Yes, I'll support further restrictions on abortion if they say that. Tell them it's the light. I look orange because of the light. Have you got good numbers for me yet? They're old people; it's what happens. Tweet before the briefing to boost the markets and get Fox to cross to Wall Street in breaking news. How am I looking?

so i posted on the bin isolation outing thread, and had hundreds of likes within minutes and some very funny comments, until the **** who cant scroll on or resist a fight ruined it!! i didnt even get to screen shot it!

^Haha.

[watt price tully]

It’s Easter. Coronavirus is sorted, the US economy is back to normal, thank-you President Trump, we all knew you could do it.

[watt price tully]

Well far be it from me to make disparaging comments about Trump supporters but like Trump himself this is very funny and scary at the same time.

Yes saw that and a small step forward if it is actually implemented and enforced but they need to do much much more - as does the rest of the world! They announce this and in the same breath sanction bear bile the farming of which is is just bloody horrific as a treatment for COVID-19

Mind you the Western world wagging their collective fingers especially the septics re wet markets is laughable! Interesting that New York has the highest death rate from COVID-19, they also have over 80 live animal markets where animals are kept and slaughtered in the same inhumane disgusting ways as the wet markets in China and many parts of Asia.......

Wouldn’t expect the orange man to do anything, after all his delightful offspring enjoy killing animals for fun - such brave warriors they are

Please someone tell me this is satire, mischievously taken out of context, or a deep fake:

^ Great stuff: Trump is now recommending anti-biotics to treat a virus. He is less coherent than my mum when she’s at her worst and she has a diagnosis of Alzheimers.

[Tannin]

^ Gobsmackingly ignorant.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 60636.html

We have known for a long time that the man is astonishingly ignorant, and it has become clear with each passing week that he is mentally ill, but this latest thing looks more like dementia than anything else. He must have been told about antibiotics and viruses, told over and over by his health advisers, and here he has completely forgotten it. Anyone who has had an elderly relative with dementia has seen this kind of thing before.

More likely it’s just in one ear and out the other, I suspect.

Viral pneumonia leads to a secondary infection treated by antibiotics. Between 1/3 and 1/2 of patients who died from H1N1 died of secondary bacterial infections.

Maybe all the amateur doctors around here need to spend some more time on Google before dropping their daily deranged outrage.

[stui magpie]

Dude, don't go there, you can't defend that.

He's just taking the piss now

[Tannin]

What do you mean "now"?
