OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

I haven't had it and neither has my wife

my half-brother had it (he's 74) and ended up in an ICU for 4 days. Never put on a ventilator. Was in the hospital a week. Been home for well over a month and is exhausted 24-7 with some very definite cognitive impact. His thinking is foggy & slow, he talks slower and gasps when he does, and sleeps about 15 hours a day. I'm starting to doubt he'll ever fully recover and a head cold might kill him now

he wasn't real healthy to begin with. He actually had brain surgery about 7 years ago and that set him way back. And he never recovered his appetite

still, it's been an 8 week nightmare for him and shows no signs of ending any time soon

 

He is paraphrasing Obama's Obamacare Death Panel Architect, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, whom #TraiterJoe wants to be on his Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board.

So the guys you want to direct your internet outrage toward should be Emanuel, Biden and Obama.

Biden Puts Obamacare Architect, “Death Panels” Inventor Ezekiel Emanuel on His Coronavirus Team

A prominent bioethicist who helped create Obamacare and opposes conscience protections for pro-life doctors and nurses is one of Joe Biden’s new advisers on his Transition COVID-19 Advisory Board.

MSNBC reports Biden, a pro-abortion Democrat and presumed winner of the White House, announced Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former special adviser to Barack Obama, and others to his coronavirus team Monday.

“The advisory board will help shape my approach to managing the surge in reported infections; ensuring vaccines are safe, effective, and distributed efficiently, equitably, and free; and protecting at-risk populations,” Biden said in a statement.

According to Politico, Biden also is considering Emanuel as his HHS secretary.

However, Emanuel’s actions and writings raise huge concerns about how he values both born and unborn Americans. A bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, he argued in 2017 that conscience protection laws are “unethical” and “unjustifiable,” and doctors who refuse to do procedures they believe are wrong – such as killing other people in abortions or assisted suicide — should “leave the profession.”

A few years earlier, Emanuel wrote an article about how he wants to die by age 75 because life is not worth living. He suggested other older Americans should consider “whether our consumption is worth our contribution.” A short time later, he wrote another piece in the New York Times encouraging Americans to “Skip Your Annual Physical.”

More recently, Emanuel, considered an expert on the coronavirus, told MarketWatch that the United States may not be able to fully re-open for at least another year, the Western Journal reports.

“It’ll be closer to November, closer toward the end” of 2021, he said.

Prior to the election, he also urged people to vote for Biden.

“The best way to stop Trump’s do-nothing #COVID19 plan is to vote! A Biden Administration would take critical steps to fight pandemic, including clear messaging and a comprehensive, coordinated federal effort that builds trust,” Emanuel wrote on Twitter earlier this month.


Health leaders and bioethicists have been warning about Emanuel’s anti-life philosophies for more than a decade. In 2009, Betsy McCaughey, a former chair of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths and a former lieutenant governor of New York, warned:

As a bioethicist, he has written extensively about who should get medical care, who should decide, and whose life is worth saving.


Dr. Emanuel is part of a school of thought that redefines a physician’s duty, insisting that it includes working for the greater good of society instead of focusing only on a patient’s needs. Many physicians find that view dangerous, and most Americans are likely to agree.

I'm sorry to hear you both got it...hope you recovered fully without side effects....two of my granddaughters got it by going back to work in San Luis Obispo....one in a cafe, the other in a coffee house....my oldest granddaughter is symptom free now but her younger sister is having asthma like after effects from it...studies say it constricts the blood vessels and can cause issues from that as well as respiratory conditions. She didn't have asthma before the virus hit....I hope you are free of any lingering effects

 

My wife and I got a horrible flu bug on Xmas Eve last year that lasted through early Jan......I have a suspicion it may have been covid..we've all tested negative throughout the year...I've only been tested twice but I'm a hermit out here

 

It's similar to the clowns who advocated herd immunity and blowing off the deaths it would cause because they will be mainly old people. A lot of sick clowns coming out in the republican party.

 

Sorry son, I have much greater concern for the idiot that refuses to acknowledge that he lost the election and is building up to a violent exit.

 

FDA has just recommended approval of the Pfizer vaccine. Distribution should start within days.

I opted out.

 

What does that mean? I didn't know that it's an opt in/opt out thing.

He's had much worse teams than this years' team yet didn't throw in the towel.
