When you have it long enough, you turn into a dog faced pony soldier.

C'mon, man! I challenge you to a contest of push-ups! C'mon, fat! God love ya, stand up, Chuck!

You're right - too much of Biden does rot one's brain.

Tuesday, May 12: Consumer, retail and service businesses.

Some things still closed, but I think Lt. Gov. Hustad said nearly 90% of Ohio's economy will be open in 2 weeks.

Moving out of the woods.  Good news!

Report from UPMC, one of largest healthcare providers in Pennsylvania:Inside UPMC

UPDATE: Looks like UPMC has closed down the page since I accessed it a couple hours ago. I wonder why.

You know, I think I still have the button my buddy slipped into my hand at our graduation ceremony from medical school. In large letters it said “trust me, I’m a doctor.”

If you extrapolate the Hopkins graph  of new U.S. cases, this thing should wind down to near zero by sometmes in  September.  There is a defitinite slow but downward trend since the first week of April.

Instead of attending a funeral today I watched it live streamed.  We are in very strange times.....

No way in HELL are the Dims going to allow a "good disease" like that die out shortly before the elections. If they have to,they will be injecting people with it.

They will arrest us all first, for not proving we've been vaccinated, or have anti-bodies.
We have to carry our papers.......

We can't vote, if we are all in jail or have criminal records.

Not unless we are illegal aliens...............

"If one as-sumes that the number of asymptomatic or mini-mally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatal-ity rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests  that  the  overall  clinical  consequences  of  Covid-19  may  ultimately  be  more  akin  to  those of a severe seasonal inf luenza (which has a  case  fatality  rate  of  approximately  0.1%)  or  a  pandemic  inf luenza  (similar  to  those  in  1957  and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."

Definite possibility.  We can either allow it to happen or RESIST.

Except for the people that need their skill set right now and are being denied access to them.

Damned straight.  I have no way to express my gratitude that I don't need my hip replacements right about now.  It hurt SO BADLY!  It makes my cry to think people in my condition back then cannot have that hip replacement surgery today.  I'd have had to get a wheelchair, because a mere walker could not have kept me mobile.

You have really nailed it. There is a major chunk of routine and non-COVID health care that is suffering because of either (1) the lockdown or (2) people avoiding elective surgeries because they are afraid of catching the virus.

This damn thing has created a medical circular firing squad.

FACTS. Our hospital system laid off 600... That they had 600 to lay off is another whole can of worms.

I haven't of heard of any layoffs around here lately, but usually hospitals and clinics are understaffed and they offer sign on bonuses to attract medical personnel to the area.

We are a bit of a health mecca. Largely because of the pristine beauty... Rich old folks summer here.

But being able to lay off 600 pretty well puts the health system as the biggest employer around I think...
That used to be mills, roads, or logging. No more.

There was a time the largest employer in my state was a steel mill, formerly employing 13,000; now around 600.
Now it's 1) Walmart and 2) various hospitals.
