This morning I tested positive for Covid 19. I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus. Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing 👊🏾👊🏾 No panic. pic.twitter.com/Lg7HVMZglZ
Yep, several times on the previous thread 🙂
But can’t stress enough how important it is that he shared this. Sure hope he and his wife stay relatively well.
Due to coronavirus precaution, Bob Shellard isn't allowed to visit his wife in her Connecticut nursing home. So he stood outside her window and held up a sign that said "I've loved you 67 years and still do. Happy Anniversary." https://t.co/cIwZxwmZeNpic.twitter.com/nW86SYm4HU

From conspiracy to crisis: Fox News’s most popular hosts have changed their tune on coronavirus coverage
After downplaying the potential effects of the virus for weeks, the cable channel’s prime-time lineup, including Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, has suddenly started treating the threat more seriously.
We are diligently focused on ensuring the continued health and safety of all our visitors, employees, and volunteers. We are in close communication with local health officials and the Centers for Disease Control.

Idea: Trump resigns for grave incompetence, George W Bush and Obama run this thing together.
We can figure out how to do this constitutionally. It’s tough but possible. Doesn’t actually even need Trump to resign, he just needs to get out of the way&let the pros do the hard work
TLDR: 1) we’re not testing enough ppl to know how big this thing is; 2) if you think you're in the clear, you're not; 3) our healthcare system is about to be dangerously overloaded & only we can save it so #StayTheFuckHome (1/x)

Sorry I posted the wrong link about. THIS is the thread!
BREAKING: A week before Inauguration Day 2017, Trump team participated in a tabletop exercise with outgoing Obama team about preparing for a "major domestic incident"
One incident discussed was a pandemic. I participated in that exercise.
I posted a few days ago. Our person went to hospital. Was refused test and sent home with antibiotics. Brought back by ambulance near death two days later. Sedated on life support since. Both family members that had contact were denied testing twice. Been horrible for us.
At the end of all this, let’s try to remember that the geniuses who told us not to worry about coronavirus are the same geniuses telling us not to worry about #climatechange
Fair warning. But of course it doesn’t have to be a choice.

Can the next president mitigate his death monuments to hate and racism?

Mitch McConnell has wasted four days in the middle of a pandemic. Now Republican Senators are using procedure to cover for him. @SenatorDurbin is right – enough with the excuses. The Senate should do its job.
Love Eleven Films, especially their first one. Did you see it? “Remember America” it’s called. So fabulous. They tweeted that this one was really difficult to do b/c of it’s seriousness and that so many Americans may die. Then they ended it with hope. So beautiful.

Morning everyone. Here we are in the middle of a serious global pandemic, and the only thing on his mind is extra time off, and confirming younger judges. WHAT THE FUCK, KENTUCKY!!! Seen enough yet?!! We’re a mess so HE doesn’t have to be! Vote him out!
McConnell let the Senate take a long weekend, hasn’t passed measures to help the country through the Coronavirus pandemic, but he will by God keep working on confirming judges. https://t.co/clGiqafbGW
These people have shown who they are long ago…just a reminder when Pres Obama was trying to save an economy in free fall…the GOP led by McConnell became the party of NO…this is the party that did not vote for ACA…has tried to destroy Obamacare from the beginning….and the list goes on..what is different is that they no longer pretend to care about their own constituents…but their constituents have an investment in racism and white supremacy and will continue to vote for the GOP..

This epidomiologist from TRMS said the whole country should be on lock down. That is the only way to flatten the curve rapidly.
