Everybody who goes to hospice is about to die. But I take your point. A sudden outbreak in a community where no one has immunity yet could briefly ove...
Oh, by the way, be careful accessing information about COVID-19. Malicious software is showing up in websites and emails (sometimes in outbreak maps)....
It's called end-of-life care. Remember your 87 year-old neighbor? He didn't burden the healthcare system too much. If he did visit the hospital, he wa...
Cool. So your healthcare team will go to extremes to keep you alive. That's not the case with most of those threatened with death by post-viral pneumo...
If you have a real anxiety disorder, you should ignore me. Do you want to know what happens when they intubate you (to put you on mechanical ventilati...
No, the panic-snowball will be melted by summer. This virus will take its place with H1N1 and all the others that continue to kill the elderly. All th...
I assume the idea is that the virus-perception will keep people at home instead of out shopping and vacationing. I agree with MU. It's a correction. R...
It's nice to see you Dutch people trying to develop a sense of humor. This is old, but it's the kind of thing you could be shooting for: https://www.y...
There's a large benefit (in fun packets) to trying to see how a reasonable person would accept the view of your opponent (except for psychokillers and...
At least we didn't have to watch the super-delegates give the nomination to Bloomberg over Bernie. That would have created a wide-spread meltdown. And...
It's in the third book of World as Will and Representation, as 3017amen mentioned. If you don't have much background in philosophy, this is a great pl...
Yes. Trump is an aspect of the US sinking off the world stage. Biden would try to reinforce the illusion a little longer, none of which matters much. ...
There's nothing new under the sun. No, he's a good man. It feels good to have a good person in charge. That's enough. The rest is the delusion that we...
We have been. There's nothing you could add that would make the ashes in the mouths of Bernie fans taste any worse. The root of it is pure idealism: t...
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have li...
I heard him say a couple of times that without an energizing message, Democrats would lose to Trump. He sees himself as the best option for beating Tr...
I think they were trying to reject Trump. Closing ranks is the way to do that. We'll see if the left side of the party is wise enough to realize that....
If it keeps you out of ICU with bleeding and infection from accidental nicks from the surgeon's big fat hands, it's saving money. Wonder how it picks ...
True. It's generous where I am, so I'm being myopic. But where Medicaid sucks, there are other private resources like Planned Parenthood. If a pregnan...
Medicaid is pretty generous and it starts as soon as a woman knows she's pregnant. Why do say "lack of access"? I think part of the problem is drug ab...
