Some days, it's still just unbelievable how far people will go to dismiss Trump's obvious bigotry. There are people who don't think it was a problem that he tweeted a video this morning where one of his supporters yells "white power" at protesters.

The most generous you can reasonably be to Trump on that tweet is admitting that he's so stupid that he didn't even watch or listen to the video. He just saw a still that had a picture of a golf cart covered in his posters and he tweeted it without knowing the content.

Those are your only two choices for why he tweeted that video: he's a bigot, or he's monumentally stupid.

C) He is both a biogot and monumentally stupid.

Obviously true. I'm just not sure which was a bigger factor in his decision to send that tweet.

Is he a bigot who is really stupid? Or a really stupid person who also happens to be a bigot?

Oh that's rich! lol. Enjoy senile Bidey.....

Just got back from the grocery store.  Not only was I the only one in a mask, a number of couples had kids without masks too.   It's one thing  to risk yourself, but your kids?

trump has made the wearing or not of a face mask a sign of political support for him rather than an informed choice based on the science of best practices during a pandemic.

Arizona joins Texas and Florida in making their first moves towards a re-shut down. They're closing bars, nightclubs, gyms, and theaters. They're also delaying the first day of school, and events with more than 50 people are banned (churches and political rallies are exempt).

Triumvirate of shitheel red states. Karen’s and Chads didn’t want to wear masks because their freedom. Let em suffer

Interesting stat in this study. https://freopp.org/the-covid-19-nursing-home-crisis-by-the-numbers-3a47433c3f70

45% of all Covid deaths have been by people in LTC facilities.  Primarily in NE states with Democratic governors who made it their policy to send Covid positive patients in to recover. Almost half the deaths. Don't #seniorlivesmatter too?

While I think the New York policy of sending COVID patients to nursing homes was ill advised nursing homes have been a mess since the start of this.  I can only speak to Western Iowa, but I was involved in more than a few discussions with nursing homes as a medical director and rounding on nursing patients.

One nursing home that my boss is a medical director of deals with traumatic brain injury patients that are often ventilator dependent. My boss was out of town when the first cases started to show up in Iowa. It took about an hour phone call to get them to agree to not let families into the facility. That facility has had zero COVID cases. They didn’t lock down another facility in central Iowa and they had an outbreak there. The facility that I’m medical director at hasn’t let anyone in including myself since the start and they have had no cases.

Rounding in facilities has changed a great deal. At first they where recommending masks. Now masks and eye protection is required. They have developed COVID lock down units and they don’t let resisdents mix in common areas. It is a damn depressing place to go into.

At start getting patients into nursing homes as skilled nursing patients was almost impossible and it led to a people sitting in the hospital for no reason, because nursing homes didn’t want to become New York. It has gotten better and being able to do COVID testing in hours vs a week helps.

It was a mess at the beginning, but we have gotten a lot better. 

And just because 2020 hasn’t been fun enough the just found a swine flu in China that has the ability to jump into humans. That doesn’t mean it will, but I mean 2020 has been the year where everything happens so it will.
