John Oliver on Coronavirus

Remember when the Orange Imbecile thought his "Vietnam" was dodging sexually transmitted diseases in the 1970s NYC club scene??

Now that the US Coronavirus death toll is over 60,000, the sick fuck has literally killed more Americans than the Vietnam War.

And just as it was with that illegal war, most of those deaths could have been avoided, if the people with brains would have acted in time to stop it.

And I thought Chimpy's 3,000 on 9/11, another 2,000 in Katrina, and 10,00 or so dead Americans in his dumb PNAC wars was about as bad as it could get..... you can bet that monkey boy's probably feeling pretty good about himself right now.

Coronoa Cunt of the Day 4-30-20 : Jellyfish Pelosi

[Seshmeister]

Sorry your bloggers are unwatchable so I don't get their points most of the time.

This is the problem with your bubble, it's just various guys in their bedrooms with a webcam trying to get noticed after without ever actually finding anything out. It's not journalism and its really not that far from the windbags on right wing radio.

If you are at the point of calling Pelosi a cunt then I think you've kind of jumped off an ideological cliff where you loop around the other side like Stalin and Hitler.

No, I usually call her a jellyfish because she has no spine. I gave her the "cunt of the day" award this time, because continuing multiple corporate bailout without a thing to help the people... well that's a real cunty thing to do, is it not?

You're fucking insane. The little people have a $600 stipend in their unemployment because of her and some others. But maybe the Dems should look like assholes and stymie any relief that isn't perfect for you, right Ford? And never ever get fucking elected again..

I call her Cruella DeVil. Washington DC has devolved into a cartoon show.

Florida to cover up the COVID-19 deaths:

Florida curtails reporting of coronavirus death numbers by county medical examiners

Florida health officials have halted the publication of up-to-the-minute death statistics related to the coronavirus pandemic that have, by law, been compiled by medical examiners in the state.

The death count compiled by the Medical Examiners Commission was often found to be higher than the figures provided by Florida’s Department of Health, the Tampa Bay Times reported, prompting a review of the data and a suspension of its publication.

State officials have not specified what they find objectionable about the medical examiners’ count, nor when they might allow it to be made public again, the Times said.

According to the state Department of Health, 34,728 people in Florida have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and 1,337 people have died from it, as of Friday morning.

Dr. Stephen Nelson, chairman of the state Medical Examiners Commission, told the Tampa Bay Times that state officials informed him that they would remove the cause of death and a description of each case from statistics published by the examiners.

“This is no different than any other public record we deal with,” Nelson said. “It’s paid for by taxpayer dollars and the taxpayers have a right to know.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday that the state would begin lifting coronavirus restrictions for some businesses everywhere but Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, which have been particularly hard hit by the virus.

“These counties have seen the lion’s share of the state’s epidemic,” DeSantis said, “but they are trending in a positive direction.”

The day before DeSantis’s order, Florida reported 83 deaths from COVID-19, the highest number to date. On Friday the state reported another 47 deaths and 1,038 new cases of COVID-19.

Fewer than 2 percent of Florida’s 21.5 million residents have been tested for the virus, the Miami Herald reported on Friday. Of residents who have been tested, 9 percent have come back positive for the virus, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

I voted for DeSantis's opponent in 2018. If memory recalls, DeSantis won the election in a relative squeaker. DeSantis's 2018 opponent, Andrew Gillum, was found this past March in a Miami Beach hotel room with two other men, one of whom was a reported gay male escort. Along with the men were quantities of what was suspected to be crystal meth. Gillum, who is married to a woman and claims to be a heterosexual non-drug user, has now entered the requisite "rehab" program that many in the public eye do after being caught in such circumstances.

DeSantis has floundered in recent weeks with the mass unemployment claims going unanswered or rejected. DeSantis's default response has been to blame his predecessor, current Florida Senator then-Governor Rick Scott, for the current situation of the state unemployment website frequently crashing leaving literally millions of Floridians unable to get their unemployment claims processed and get relief by way of the checks. Well, hey, DeSantis voluntarily ran for this job. To be sure, Florida has spent the past decade and a half lowering the cap on claims, lowering the amount of weeks one can be on the dole and lessening the amount of staff to process claims. And that was all good and well when there was work to be found. Now, you, DeSantis, have a crisis on your hands. Fix it. You wanted this job. Time is of the essence.

As to the rest of the article, it wouldn't be surprising if the released FDH figures are lower than the count compiled by the FMEC: with less than 2% of the residents having been tested, who the fuck knows how many people in the state actually have it, or had it? Just 2 nursing homes in one county (neither home either in or near Broward, Miami-Dade or Palm Beach) within 5 miles of each other down here a week ago reported 23 deaths between the two locations and 100+ infections between residents and staff.

As insane as it sounds, though, I understand people wanting to get things opened up again and get back to work. The massive federal small business loan/grant plan hasn't trickled down quickly enough in terms of getting money into business owners hands. Neither has the unemployment money with the attached $600 per week federal sweetener. A lot of people haven't been working for over a month and are running out of (or have already run out of) cash. Things are at the point where folks are ready to go out, get things going and take their chances with the virus. It's to the point for some where the choice is dying on your feet or on your knees.

Trump Tours Mask Plant Not Wearing One While Live and Let Die Plays

'Live and Let Die' blasts as Trump visits mask factory

Randall Roberts
LA TimesMay 5, 2020, 9:36 PM EDT

As President Trump toured an N95 mask manufacturing plant in Phoenix on Tuesday, his visit through the facility was accompanied by a head-scratching musical soundtrack: the Paul McCartney-penned “Live and Let Die,” as performed by Guns 'N Roses.

The president and his entourage were touring a Honeywell factory that produces the masks, worn by medical workers to protect them from breathing in the deadly COVID-19 virus. Standing next to a green bin filled with hundreds of masks, a notably un-face-masked Trump watched an employee work as the music segued from the Animals' "House of the Rising Sun" into the song McCartney wrote and recorded for the James Bond film of the same name.

President Trump, not wearing a mask, toured a Honeywell plant that manufactures personal protective equipment Tuesday in Phoenix.
The background music for the tour also included Trump rally stalwarts such as Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger."

In a tweet, Jimmy Kimmel noted: "I can think of no better metaphor for this presidency than Donald Trump not wearing a face mask to a face mask factory while the song 'Live and Let Die' blares in the background."

The song's climactic blast of music arrived as a Honeywell representative was explaining to the president the ways in which the mask's material protects against particulates. As he was doing so, Rose could be heard yowling, "If this ever-changing world in which we live in / Makes you give in and cry / say live and let die."

Needless to say, it wasn't just Kimmel confounded by the scene.

So far, Rose, an outspoken Trump critic, has yet to comment. But a few years ago he called the president the "gold standard of what can be considered disgraceful." More recently, he tweeted a photo of an anti-Trump baseball cap.
