Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I had not, but the little bit I sampled was soothing. I’ve come to realize that I have greatly underrated the power of soothing over the last half-decade.

 

I’m gonna have Scentless Apprentice played at my wake.

 

I'm gonna have Bananas and Blow played at mine.

 

Lancet commission examines Trump's COVID response

You can stop reading the story after the lede.

 

Wow. And yet it will probably be the Iranian government that gets him to The Hague.

 

Really going out on a limb there.

 

Good job taking that comment out of context.

He was trying to say he didn't know what the floor would've been for U.S. deaths. Trump promised us 0, we got 470,000 and it would've probably seen somewhere in the middle.

Brownstein is one of the more respected people in epidemiology, so he knows what he's talking about.

 

It’s not your fault. I just am jumping on any piece of news that might mean I can get a vaccine. California is a hot mess.

 

Or maybe not.

Who is in the group of "other" essential workers?
Now I am thinking store employees?

 

• Critical manufacturing (including manufacturing medical supplies, medical equipment or PPE, manufacturing products needed for food and agricultural supply chains)
• Essential goods (including workers in stores that sell groceries and medicine)
• Food and agriculture (including meat packing workers, food processing workers, farm workers, migrant farm/fishery workers, food distribution and supply chain workers and restaurant workers)
• Government and community services (including US Postal Service and other shipping workers, court workers, elected officials, clergy and homeless shelter staff)
• Health care and public health (including public health workers, social workers)
• Public safety (including firefighters and EMS, law enforcement, corrections workers, security officers, public agency workers responding to abuse and neglect)
• Transportation (including public transit, Division of Motor Vehicles workers, transportation, maintenance and repair technicians, workers supporting highway infrastructure)

 

All health care and allied health, including Home Health, EMT's, Labs, Mortuary workers (who have been hit hard), Law Enforcement, Firefighters, Correction Officers, people who work in group settings like prisons, meatpacking plants and such. Then they'll be looking at food and ag workers, manufacturers, transportation and logistics, food service, energy, water and waste management, legal, media, finance.

Cribbed that list off of my vaccine consent form for Alabama.
