Yesterday, I donned up and entered a patient's room. He was COVID+, and he was decompensating rapidly. His breathing was shallow on 100% NRB, and he was minimally rousable. This was expected – but it was still shocking.

“There’s both terrible policy judgement here and blatant illegality.” — Fmr. acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal on President Trump defunding the WHO amid the coronavirus pandemichttps://t.co/IgbAuEq9x5
thx!
heh i posted after the remarkable Katyal said this last week that he totally let it rip = Ressspect!
–It’s a thing of beauty so please indulge me…and enjoy!
NEAL KATYAL: “OK. So, there`s a lot there.
And with respect to the WHO cutoff, as Ron says, there is both terrible policy judgment here and blatant illegality. On the policy level is I think everyone has been saying, and, Lawrence, you were saying, no,
there is no coronavirus policy by the White House, there are no solutions. We`re in a testing crisis and cutting off funds to an international organization and preening and conferences and, oh, signing some checks to bribe voters, that`s not a coronavirus policy.
And putting your family and no scientist on a counsel to reopen government is not a policy.
And, you know, so I think that this is a real problem from that perspective, and then legally, absolutely, this is no different than what he was impeached for. The president is trying to assert the powers of Congress. In our Constitution, Congress sets the budget and the president can`t just go and nix out items that he disagrees with, and just because he doesn`t like an international organization or some foreign government like Ukraine or some territory like Puerto Rico, you don`t get to like just nix out funding.
That`s not the way our system works.
And, you know, his claims here are very much King George-y. They`re just like what he said a couple days ago when he said, I can force the states to reopen. All of this together is blatantly a destruction of what our
Constitution is about.
He also said today that he was going to be able to adjourn Congress on his own and put his own judges through and that has three very deep constitutional problems. One is the Constitution just doesn`t let him,. Article Two says he can only adjourn Congress if they disagree.
There is no disagreement there. Both the House and Senate said they should adjourn on January 3rd.
Second, even if he could get over that, it doesn`t allow him to recess-appoint judges, which is what he was seeking to do in the press conference today because the Supreme Court a few years ago in a decision said you can`t use the recess power essentially as an end run around Senate confirmation and that`s, of course, what he`s doing here.
And third, most importantly, if you`re going to try to break constitutional norms and break the Constitution, you better have darn good reason. Here,his reason is, my judges aren`t being confirmed.
Well, give me a break. I mean, he`s had 50 Court of Appeals judges confirmed in three years.
Obama had 55 in his eight years. In the last two years of Obama, he didn`t even get two judge, two court of appeal nominees.confirmed, two. You know, Trump gets that on any given Tuesday.
And, you know, the most galling thing about this is that they have the nerve to say this when they didn`t even get Merrick Garland a hearing. The,president said, oh, the Senate isn`t doing its duty to confirm judges, the Senate by his own party, and that`s why he wants to do this? I mean, boy, we never heard any of that before when he had the most dramatic things at stake.
Sorry, that was a long answer but hopefully gives you something to work with.”
You made no mistake. The comments of this great and wise man fit absolutely anywhere. They are precisely where they should be and everyone should read them and pay attention to his words.
It’s at least 13 now according to the CBC. That is not the final count yet, the RCMP is still investigating, the victims are across parts of the province. Just unimaginable.

So sorry for the loss of your son-in-law’s cousin, Sheila. It is heartbreaking … I wish he had been tested and potentially saved. So very sad for his loved ones.
A death that might have been prevented is unthinkable for any family, especially when not being able to breathe and/or high fever are the two key indicators that medics are looking for. It is stunning, very sorry Sheila.
thank you…i had never met him…but my son-in-law was very sadden by the news…and of course,,,things become very real when it is at your door…i worry so much about this..

Because that should be the consequences for the fetishization of "freedom"… which is, to be clear, just self-centered selfishness. https://t.co/zurk3UeTq6
Amazing socially distant rally against Netanyahu & his erosion of democracy. Probably not possible in Britain, of course, because the Emergency Powers Act waved through by parliament gave govt the power to ban mass gatherings…

I hear every day from people who want to go back to work, open their businesses and spend time with their friends and family. Most of them are doing what must be done first to accomplish that: They’re staying home.
What scale of crime does a US President have to commit before they are subjected to the same, immediate consequences of ANY other criminal? https://t.co/WjdlLbucyc#Trump must be charged & detained, now, before more suffer & die.
Lots of DOJ public servants remain true to their Oath of Office and mission.
If Holder, Yates, Comey, Katyal, Bharara and many other former DOJ officials began demanding that Barr either resign or indict Trump, then those current DOJ employees would likely be motivated to challenge Barr to do just that.
Similarly, if those same folk and others demanded that the American Bar Association disbar Barr unless he enforces the law, then it would be unambiguous to every American who is COVID19 positive, as well as, the families of COVID19 victims that they should begin amassing the largest class action law suite in American history.
And, if those same folk publicly committed themselves to doing everything possible to indict and prosecute Trump and every other criminal member of his family and Administration irrespective of how many years or decades it takes, then they would be emulating precisely what survivors of the Holocaust made stick – even to this day.
We don’t need more tweets from these folk, we need the same scale of commitment to pursue these criminals until they are all legally and financially held accountable that President Obama demonstrated by eliminating Bin Laden.
Well, your opinion is valued here:) seems like a no brainer but why is it so hard? Maybe there is something that we just don’t know because I can’t imagine Eric Holder or any others of the people you mentioned being weak or afraid to do the right thing. I just find that hard to believe. What I DO agree with you on is that this criminal needs to be removed before November…. I fear just unimaginable destruction if that doesn’t happen.
Certainly willing to concede that I have no clue what those folk might be doing.
What I do know, without an iota of doubt is that you could not be more correct – “What I DO agree with you on is that this criminal needs to be removed before November…. I fear just unimaginable destruction if that doesn’t happen.”
If that mobster and his gang are not held accountable long before November, he is going to destroy any chance of a legitimate election and cause the death of 100s of thousands of innocent Americans.
Bin Laden never came close to the damage Trump has already inflicted.
If #Trump is not charged, arrested & prosecuted for his crimes real soon now you will witness calamity & death in America unrivaled by even the #CivilWar.

Response to Mommy Snark Shark above.
Why we have to do it:
Testing, collecting data and finding the hotspots.
Then making sure folks in those hotspots aren’t out spreading the disease, following up with contact tracing and quarantine. That’s how South Korea got a fix on it – after we found out on the same day!
–United States has 123 per million deaths.
–South Korea has 5 per million deaths.

No President can promise to prevent future outbreaks. But I can promise you that when I'm President, we will prepare better, respond better, and recover better. We'll listen to the experts and heed their advice. And I will always tell you the truth.
Do this really make any sense?These people ought to be ashame of themselves.I’s disgusting. These are the same old right wing tea party nuts. If we had a President worth anything he would be telling people not to do this.

Kicked off (factually) saying the U.S. has 700,000 confirmed cases and 31,000 deaths.
THEN (brightly): “Demonstrations are continuing in a number of US states against the coronavirus lockdown…”
THEN (as if factually):
An audio of a series of aggregious lies Trump told at the press ‘briefing’, where he said he had carried out more tests per capita than all other major countries + took credit for “success” in Texas and Vermont…so that they would start opening for business.
THEN (brightly): BBC reported that Trump said that protestors “seemed to be responsible people” and governors being too tough”.
THEN with no further ado, comment, or kiss my arse: The BBC went straight to news from Spain.
= Outfits (NPR does it too) that present Trump’s lies as is – without factual checking – scare me to death.
Ugh. I plan to keep my eye on Nov. 3 !!! Chins up! 🙂
One cent a barrel oil. Trump gets played by the Saudis and Russians. Just like China. The job losses will be massive. Turns out having a dumb narcissist as President could not be more dangerous to America.
Despite umpteen attempts am unable to post news from the lovely Dr. Ernest Patti, senior emergency medical physician at St. Barnabus Hospital in the Bronx. He had a little positive news and some good advice for us.
Blame the weather.
I’m thrilled to be joining tonight’s @WhenWeAllVote#CouchParty with @MichelleObama (at 7:15pm ET) to talk about how we can ensure every person’s voice and vote count in the next election.
Things are so yucky around the country now … that I usually pre-record Andrew Cuomo’s daily presser and, even though he never used to be my favorite Cuomo, I now sit down and watch him while enjoying a peaceful lunch …
On the other side of the country, I watch Gov. Newsom each day. Today he revealed that he got a whole string of tech companies and Sprint to donate 70,000 devices and wifi for students who don’t have access to distance learning. BRAVO!!
Really impressed by Gov. Newsom! I’m in the middle of the country and once in a while Gov. JB Pritzker does something cool, too! We’re the lucky ones to “get it.”
