D&D and the rising pandemic

I just... I mean... I can't... Please make it stop.

Steroids can give a high

WTF is wrong with this guy?

Narcissistic Disorder

Well he might get what he want and be president for life.

Oof. Yeah. Maybe he used a Monkey Paw or a magic lamp.

Regarding his comments. The US does have really good medical staff and treatments. If you are fortunate enough to be able to afford them. And if you are the leader of the US? You certainly are getting a tier above what the average citizen is experiencing in care. It rings very tone deaf. Though that could be his campaign slogan at this point.

There’s an ad campaign in my market for the shingles vaccine

My Doc says that the new one is very very good.

This thing keeps hitting close to home. My great uncle passed away yesterday. We weren't close, but still he was essentially the patriarch of the family. I respected him and looked up to him -my father was named after him-. I feel for my grandma and my great aunt, (just the last month my great aunt lost her husband, and my aunt -her daughter- was hospitalized because of Covid and still has sequels. My aunt is barely a few years older than me.)

I can't really comprehend how things are going, and I'm more and more scared every day for everybody close to me. I'm also increasingly angrier at people who keep denying how dangerous this is (and/or keep treating this as if it was simply culling the old and the ill and it is ok because they are full of the Malthusian Kool-aid and have no empathy for these they deem undesirable). Yes, my great uncle was 90, but he was very healthy. He was in top condition, had good habits and exercised regularly. He was in better shape -and health- at 90 than many in their twenties. He didn't have a "preexisting condition". He was by no means at death's door, if not for this he could have easily made it to a hundred years while still remaining active and self-reliant.

I don't know how to feel, I'm torn between sadness, worry and anger. (Am I wadgry?) Sorry for the rant

My condolences for your loss.
I wish I could say or do something that would actually help.

Another update, Trump is leaving Walter Reed.

'Don't Be Afraid Of It': Trump Dismisses Virus Threat As He Returns To White House

President Trump had been at Walter Reed since Friday evening for coronavirus treatment. In a tweet, he said, "Don't be afraid of Covid." The White House physician would not comment on the remarks.

www.npr.org

This is his tweet: "I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!"

This is completely congruent with everything else in his public life.

That's depressingly accurate.

He's going to be fine and somehow spin it as "COVID is NOTHING" and "I'm the toughest person EVER for surviving" as if those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Just you watch.

If he ends up being fine (which he probably will be), he will definitely do both of those things. He might even say it's a hoax, again.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump checked out of Walter Reed AMA because he’s still at great risk, but he feel illness = weakness.

Remember, Herman Cain “felt fine” after 4 weeks, and it still got him. Myocarditis and increased odds of having a stroke to known, relatively common side effects of C19.

I just looked up how old Herman Cain is/was. He was 74 when he died, the same age as Trump now.
