I hear you. Oddly enough, I give Omar the benefit of the doubt on this one.
But I'm completely and utterly in favor of seeing Newsom, Whitmer, and Cuomo all being fucked in the ass by a stallion. That would certainly do us all a lot of good.
Added: The usual daily bullshit from the county I live in. Like I give a fuck.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CARMEL PINE CONE
December 22, 2020, 5:25 p.m.
CHOMP GETS 1,200 DOSES OF MODERNA VACCINE
Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula received its first allocation of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine Tuesday morning, a spokeswoman told The Pine Cone.
Monica Sciuto said FedEx delivered 1,400 doses of the Moderna vaccine to the hospital this morning — the same amount Natividad Medical Center and Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System were also allocated. Late this afternoon, SVMH said it had also received it's shipment of the Moderna vaccine.
Sciuto said CHOMP uses a tier system to prioritize who will get the vaccine first, though its entire workforce is scheduled to be immunized in the first round of vaccinations.
“The first group in our workforce that has been offered the vaccine includes those who work in patient rooms at highest risk for exposure to Covid-positive patients,” she explained. “This includes employees and providers who perform direct patient care as well as others who must enter those rooms.
The group includes personnel whose work takes them into the ICU and emergency department and the Covid-19 inpatient units. "The types of personnel include doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, phlebotomists, and environmental services staff, among others," Sciuto added.
CHOMP and the other two hospitals last week each received 975 doses of the Pfizer version and began immunizing staff shortly thereafter.
No timetable has been announced for the beginning of vaccination programs for Monterey County first responders, or in senior homes, hotspots or among other vulnerable populations.
CASE RATES ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT ICU NUMBERS HOLDING STEADY
• 3,304 'new' cases one day, zero two days later, then 1,099
Because of what health officials are calling a "backlog" of coronavirus cases in a state data system, the number of "new" cases being reported by the Monterey County health department has swung wildly between extremes over the last 5 days, from a high of 3,304 cases on Friday, to zero on Sunday.
As a result, it is impossible to know whether the surge of infections hitting the county since late October has been getting worse, staying the same, or improving. Likewise, the charts and tables we've been producing since last Spring have become useless — and will be until the county's reporting system stabilizes.
But one thing that's not useless is the state's tabulation of ICU bed availability in the Greater Bay Area region, which is the number used by Gov. Gavin Newsom to justify the shutdown we've been under for a little more than a week.
This morning, the California Department of Public Health said 13.5 percent of ICU beds in the region were unoccupied — which is just about where it's been for the last week. According to the governor's criteria, the percentage has to improve to at least 15 for restaurants to be able to reopen for outdoor dining, along with other types of businesses.
At CHOMP, where the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are being administered to medical staff before being made available to high-risk sectors of the public, there are currently 33 inpatients who are coronavirus-positive, including 12 in the ICU. SVMH said it had 49 inpatients with the virus, and Natividad said it had 62. (Each of these hospitals haveat well over 200 beds. - JS)
Here's a cartoon of Birx, who is apparently retiring after being caught breaking the rules the "little people" are supposed to abide. Twat.

Yup, the bitch is gone.She can bite my ass. Useless turd.
You know those old cartoons where whenever a character does something stupid, they turn into a donkey (aka, a jackass) for a few moments? I imagine a lot of people are going to have a moment like that.
Well, so much for the Biden administration.
Turning into a national-level fuckup on the scale of the Vietnam War, and just as damaging to society. Do YOU trust the government/judiciary/law enforcement to do the right thing any more? Most likely not. I sure don't. Just like after Vietnam, and I remember that time well.
"I'm not sure we know what we're doing,"
I think that the important takeaway for us all should be that... at least the cringe is very diverse, unifying every group after a rough 2020.
At a time when we needed swift, decisive, and well thought out action, the powers that be gave their constituents none of that. The conflicting information that has run rampant over the past 9 months is frustrating and leaves some normies shrugging as they try to comply with confusing and contradictory directives while others simply say, "IDGAF," and do whatever they please because it's the path of least resistance. The credibility hit has definitely been akin to The Boy Who Cried Wolf in that many people will now be hesitant to follow instructions the next time something like this happens even if it becomes more of a matter of life or death.
This sounds consistent with what I've observed and heard from the attorneys I've interacted with. Over time, judges and lawyers get to know each other rather familiarly. So, after the requisite, "Hey Joe, hey Pete, hey Pat," before a court case begins, the ultimate decision usually boils down to which side's lawyer has the better combination of prestige, social status, and reputation - facts of the case be damned.
At the start of June when my state slowly allowed certain outdoor activities and didn't yet require masks, some people took advantage without being unnecessarily risky about it. At an event I attended that first weekend, the only COVID-related announcements were that people were expected to socially distance and that social distancing requirements would result in the last part of the event being altered to accommodate that. People actually complied without complaint, reminders, or bullying; and, individual decisions about mask wearing were respected without incident. I'd like to believe that people were willing to act on their own because nobody was being a dick about enforcing the rules. Perhaps more people would follow the restrictions on a larger scale if they were presented with more logic and less of a confrontational "Because I/the science said so!" attitude we've seen from various leaders. (Yes, I know that's
.)On one hand, there are countless health care professionals that do their work, thankless as it can be at times, without seeking attention or the spotlight. They're the ones that act more like heroes IMO. On the other, we have those who say "We're so overworked we deserve hero pay" and subsequently post these TikTok-esque videos. It's one thing to seek out a way to blow off steam after a long/frustrating day at work. However, something like that should be done away from the workplace. The videos posted from inside these medical facilities don't lend any credibility to their argument that they're too overworked, and -- in the case of the medical field -- it could be a potential privacy/HIPAA violation if the cameras clearly captured any sort of personally-identifying information about patients or their faces.
Did you mean Biden and not Bernie?
Don't worry man, I have no plans of setting foot in Israel
They'll only dig a bigger hole denying it
At least nurses have a long way to fall before they're considered as untrustworthy as journalists.
It's always been that way. Those who REALLY get ahead in life are the ones who lie, cheat, and steal but don't get caught. Or if they do get caught, are powerful enough to avoid any repercussions.
Coof is like any other illness before it. Diseases have always been a thing. Participate in good hygiene and you should be fine. I do think that governments are taking advantage of the situation and "not letting a good crisis go to waste" to paraphrase.
The brilliant part is because they out sourced the propaganda to diffused (from the outside) sources and built up the wall of noise without any holes the normalfag just rolls with it. You know when the oldest cliché in the book is when a crisis is being used to grab powers.
