Bravo!!! Great article. Someone was thinking in Washington. Of all the possible sources, CDC, FDA, CIA, FBI, Fema, HS, eieio, it comes down to someone with personal interest in the region. That’s terrifying.

And the beat goes on. There’s an obvious pattern here. The CDC is obviously nothing more than a burr on the ass of progress.

The programmer who runs this site, came up with a new card game just for chilling during the Corona.

I haven’t read these articles yet but I think I can say, “Those scum sucking greedy $#@&tards”. This is a perfect example of how some big companies work the system. They anticipate a bail-out(government handout). They know most of the employees will uphold their oath to save lives and continue working (unpaid overtime). It’s not like these companies haven’t been rolling in $$ and already relying on everyone but them to foot the bill for those who can’t or won’t. I’m not sure there has been a lot of folks aspiring to become Dr’s like there used to be. The medical workers work thankless, difficult, long mixed shifts during normal circumstances. :rage:

(ProPublica, March 31, 2020):
Other employers will soon follow suit, Holtzclaw said, citing conversations with his counterparts across the industry. “You can be assured that similar measures are being contemplated within these organizations and will likely be implemented in the coming weeks,” he wrote.

Note that the US Supreme Court (may, possibly) strike-down the (entire) Affordable Care Act (ACA) by the end of June, 2020. The desire to “hedge bets” in the face of the massive lack of monetary profits resulting from the situation and laws surrounding COVID-19 is immense where it comes to the only-for-profit medical-industrial-complex that we “so love”, and (some, who benefit) have ironically defended. The coming financial wreckage of the ~20% of the US economy represented by “health care insurance and services” seems (to me) extremely likely to bust open and drain our flailing economy like a Casaba.

.

A profoundly ironic situation has evolved. The Trump Administration via its Injustice Department has officially voiced support for a lawsuit (based on a somewhat absurd argument that the ACA has no enforceable “severance/savings” provisions protecting it from being struck-down in full and in total).

The Plaintiffs are:

STATE OF TEXAS; STATE OF ALABAMA; STATE OF ARIZONA; STATE
OF FLORIDA; STATE OF GEORGIA; STATE OF INDIANA; STATE OF
KANSAS; STATE OF LOUISIANA; STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, by and
through Governor Phil Bryant; STATE OF MISSOURI; STATE OF
NEBRASKA; STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA; STATE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA; STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA; STATE OF TENNESSEE;
STATE OF UTAH; STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA; STATE OF ARKANSAS;
NEILL HURLEY; JOHN NANTZ

.

SUPREME COURT TO RULE ON ACA CONSTITUTIONALITY

.

Now, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and consequences, what the Plaintiffs and the Trump Administration have dearly wished and tenaciously fought for (without any coherent statutory “replacements” to date) will (in my opinion, and for those politicians up for election in 2020) inevitably reap them a severe and very stinging whirlwind in the political realm - because their ideology trumps humanity, even during a plague. It does not sound like we are likely to discover these “heros” inhabiting any commoner “foxholes” anytime soon. They will be hiding in their luxury homes with armed guards.

It’s midnight in the Wash D&C Beltway. Do we really know where Anthony Fauci’s body-double is ? :sunglasses:

.

(Washington Post, April 1, 2020): “Anthony Fauci’s security is stepped up as doctor and face of U.S. coronavirus response receives threats

The exact nature of the threats against him was not clear. Greater exposure has led to more praise for the doctor but also more criticism. Fauci has become a public target for some right-wing commentators and bloggers, who exercise influence over parts of the president’s base. As they press for the president to ease restrictions to reinvigorate economic activity, some of these figures have assailed Fauci and questioned his expertise. Last month, an article depicting him as an agent of the “deep state” gained nearly 25,000 interactions on Facebook - meaning likes, comments and shares - as it was posted to large pro-Trump groups with titles such as “Trump Strong” and “Tampa Bay Trump Club.”
