Then they said testing testing
This is Trump’s unfathomable narcissism captured in 48 seconds – in fact not even the full 48, he says it in the first 25. It’s not that we hear about ventilators a lot because people die without them, it’s not that we hear about testing a lot because without it we don’t know if the curve is flattening or rising; none of this is about the pandemic and survival and mass casualties, it’s all about unfairly criticizing Trump for not being able to find his own ass in a brightly lit prison cell.
I just learned that one of my friends has coronavirus. Her husband is on a respirator, and she is at home sick by herself, sick. I blame the administrators who would not close down.
That’s awful, iknklast. Sorry to hear that.
I suspect many of us will be personally hit by this pandemic, whether it be ourselves, our family, or our friends. I learned that my niece and her boyfriend had the virus; they are recovering, fortunately. People remind us “we’re all in this together”, but I don’t know that it makes things easier. Hoping for better news from your friend soon.
My son graduates from medical school in NYC next month. The situation is crazy there.
Best wishes to your friend iknklast. For that matter best wishes to you as well. I have been feeling real concern for our little community in this virtual place. Here’s hoping we all stay well, safe and financially above water.
I second that.
