Hey, I'll be the first to admit I have blind spots. I've never been a fan of westerns, books or movies, so it's not surprising that I didn't know who this guy was - I guarantee I've never read any of his books. I hate when questions come up on "Jeopardy" and they are categories like "Westerns" or "18th Century French Rococo Artists" - I can't even hazard a guess in those categories. However, get me a "US Presidents" or "College Nicknames" and I enter buff status. :thumb:

I might have to listen to some of her sermons to verify that crap but if it's true...she's a great spokesperson to convince us that HCQ is a cure and 100% effective.


Btw, does anyone else know of any drug that is 100% effective?

Just read an interesting article in the WSJ online “Daily Discover” where several travel execs/experts made predictions about the effect of Covid on the travel industry. Bottom line: the lucrative business travel market will never be the same ( down by at least 1/3 to 1/2) as videoconferencing takes over; pleasure travel won’t recover until 2024, even if there is a vaccine; airports and immigration will migrate to facial recognition from lines and TSA personnel; airlines will have to adopt Draconian mask and distancing rules to recover; and pleasure travel will get more expensive to offset losses in business travel.

Wearing a face shield and mask are probably better than just a mask or nothing but he has become absorbed in his own perceived celebrity and he doesn't understand the psychological and sociological impact of what he's saying. He's becoming polarizing like Trump so some people will listen to him and others will do the opposite. Has Fauci gotten anyone to drink bleach yet?

Herman Cain dies of Covid.

Hospitalized two weeks after attending Trump's OK City rally.

Panic in the White House as Staffers Discover There Is Some Sort of Pandemic Happening

There are many people in this country who are trapped in bad jobs, ranging from dangerous to exhausting to simply boring, by their financial realities. In the United States, being anything less than pretty darn rich is a potentially perilous situation; if you get into an accident and end up on the wrong end of a huge medical bill, for example, even a decent amount of money saved up for a rainy day can evaporate overnight. If you lose your job, unemployment insurance might not cover the bills. If you have a baby, oh no, why did you do that? And if you make the stupid mistake of growing old, you might end up giving away your savings just to get into a Medicaid-funded nursing home...

...It’s easy to see how there may be political pressure inside the White House not to wear masks, working for a president who only recently and begrudgingly wore one in public. It’s equally easy to think that those psychotic enough to work for the Trump White House might really subscribe to the Louie Gohmert school of thought on the necessity of masks. Party leaders have spent the last month trying to row back their early skepticism, but local Republicans continue to spoil it all by doing things like comparing mask mandates to North Korean oppression. The rank and file is coming around to masks, but the party in Washington has long been more extreme than its members. It is far too easy to imagine that some twenty-something Benny Johnson clone with a White House badge has called his coworker a “masks simp” for putting one on in the office.

If members of the Trump White House feel unable to work safely during the Covid-19 pandemic, perhaps they should avail themselves of the options they have deemed satisfactory for the American people and quit their jobs. Sure, it’s a dice roll—quitting merely because the entire West Wing is a simmering soup of coronavirus particles and Axe body spray may make them eligible for unemployment, but it may not, and many are still waiting weeks on end to hear back about whether they’ve qualified. In the meantime, they may struggle to afford health insurance or pay their bills; they may have to move back in with their parents to do either...

...this is the situation their government has created for tens of millions of Americans, whose situations have long been far more precarious than theirs. If the system is good enough for out-of-work baristas and retail workers, shouldn’t it be good enough for a Trump minion who fears being coughed on in the office? Maybe if they had obtained some first-hand experience in the first place, they would have discovered just how important that extra $600 a week is to many ordinary Americans.* It’s a real shame that it’s too late to make these discoveries now. If only there had been time for someone to do something.

The funeral for John Lewis was in Georgia today. Many of those present were fellow members of Congress. Washington, DC has a requirement for people traveling from 27 states, including Georgia, to quarantine for 14 days. Does that apply to our elected officials? Or is it just for the common man?
