Jimmy Dore, liberal progressive comedian who makes me laugh out loud at work, announces the Trump administration is implementing free “Medicare For All”.

  • Covers testing and treatment for the uninsured.

  • Uses same mechanism, same rates as Medicare.

  • No 2nd party billing allowed.

Jimmy looks pretty stoned here, the so called progressives in Congress, Bernie, AOC, etc. have let him down bigly and worst of all, Trump has taken up his cause in this national crisis.

Fire up another one Jimmy, as hard as it may be for your liberal lens to see through, Trump is your President and is proving to be one of the greatest of all.
Glad you’re seeing it now, better late than never.

Interesting theory that the lung (and other organ) damage being caused by this virus may be due to red blood cells leaking Fe2+ and Fe3+ (reactive iron ions). Since hydroxychloriquine targets the red cells, it may by some unknown mechanism help to block such leakage.

The NAIP is intended to facilitate coordinated action by federal and nonfederal partners
to protect public health and achieve optimal prevention of infectious diseases and their
consequences through vaccination of adults. The NAIP includes indicators to draw
attention to and track progress against core goals. These indicators will measure
progress against set standards and inform future implementation and quality
improvement efforts. The plan establishes four key goals, each of which is supported
by objectives and strategies to guide implementation through 2020:
Goal 1: Strengthen the adult immunization infrastructure
Goal 2: Improve access to adult vaccines
Goal 3: Increase community demand for adult immunizations
Goal 4: Foster innovation in adult vaccine development and vaccination-related technologies.

“…We believe there should be five investment priorities for vaccinating people around the world against Covid-19.”

Think we got a problem…seems kinda serious

a little humor written by Benita White

Funny thoughts about WFH, home school, etc…

Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem.

I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I’m cracking a safe.

I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.

Still haven’t decided where to go for Easter ----- The Living Room or The Bedroom

PSA: every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.

Homeschooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.

I don’t think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we’d go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone.

This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog… we laughed a lot.

So, after this quarantine…will the producers of My 600 Pound Life just find me or do I find them?

Quarantine Day 5:
Went to this restaurant called THE KITCHEN. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.

My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Day 5 of Homeschooling:
One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat.

I’m so excited — it’s time to take out the garbage. What should I wear?

I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to Puerto Backyarda. I’m getting tired of Los Livingroom.

Classified Ad: Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun.

Day 6 of Homeschooling:
My child just said “I hope I don’t have the same teacher next year”… I’m offended.

Better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.

STAY HOME! BE SAFE!

Gotta keep the masses high and drunk. I’m not complaining but shows how bad they think it would get if liquor and weed shops are closed.
