In a few moments I will request a vote on the CARES Act which means members of Congress will vote on it by pushing “yes” or “no” or “present.” The Constitution requires that a quorum of members be present to conduct business in the House.

Right now, millions of essential, working-class Americans are still required to go to work during this pandemic such as manufacturing line workers, healthcare professionals, pilots, grocery clerks, cooks/chefs, delivery drivers, auto mechanics, and janitors (to name just a few). Is it too much to ask that the House do its job, just like the Senate did?

I am not delaying the bill like Nancy Pelosi did last week. The bill that was worked on in the Senate late last week was much better before Speaker Pelosi showed up to destroy it and add days and days to the process.

This bill should have been voted on much sooner in both the Senate and House and it shouldn’t be stuffed full of Nancy Pelosi’s pork- including $25 million for the Kennedy Center, grants for the National Endowment for the Humanities and Arts, and millions more for other measures that have no direct relation to the Coronavirus Pandemic. That $25 million, for example, should go directly to purchasing test kits.

The number one priority of this bill should have been to expand testing availability and creation of tests so that every American, not just the wealthy and privileged, has access to testing. We have shut down the world’s economy without adequate data. Everyone, even those with no symptoms, needs immediate access to a test.

This bill creates even more secrecy around a Federal Reserve that still refuses to be audited. It allows the Federal Reserve to make decisions about who gets what, how much money we’ll print. With no transparency. If getting us into $6 trillion more debt doesn’t matter, then why are we not getting $350 trillion more in debt so that we can give a check of $1 million to every person in the country?

This stimulus should go straight to the people rather than being funneled through banks and corporations like this bill is doing. 2 trillion divided by 150 million workers is about $13,333.00 per person. That’s much more than the $1,200 per person check authorized by this bill.

Henry Ford Health officials confirm letter outlining life and death protocols for COVID-19


Patients who have the best chance of getting better are our first priority. Patients will be evaluated for the best plan of care and dying patients will be provided comfort care.

What this means for you and your family:
1. Alert staff during triage of any current medical conditions or if you have a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)/Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) or other important medical information.
2. If you (or a family member) becomes ill and your medical doctor believes that you need extra care in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or Mechanical Ventilation (breathing machine) you will be assessed for eligibility based only on your specific condition.
3. Some patients will be extremely sick and very unlikely to survive their illness even with critical treatment. Treating these patients would take away resources for patients who might survive.
4. Patients who are not eligible for ICU or ventilator care will receive treatment for pain control and comfort measures. Some conditions that are likely to may make you not eligible include:
• severe heart, lung, kidney or liver failure
• Terminal cancers
• Severe trauma or burns
5. Patients who have ventilator or ICU care withdrawn will receive pain control and comfort measures:
6. Patients who are treated with a ventilator or ICU care may have these treatments stopped if they do not improve over time. If they do not improve this means that the patient has a poor chance of surviving the illness — even if the care was continued. This decision will be based on medical condition and likelihood of getting better. It will not be based on other reasons such as race, gender, health insurance status, ability to pay for care, sexual orientation, employment status or immigration status. All patients are evaluated for survival using the same measures.
7. If the treatment team has determined that you or your family members does not meet criteria to receive critical care or that ICU treatments will be stopped, talk to your doctor. Your doctor can ask for a review by a team of medical experts (a Clinical Review Committee evaluation.)

I know that all the "man-made virus" stuff is currently tinfoil hat, but the globalists and Bill Gates in particular could hardly have asked for something more in line with their goals.

Thomas is a badass...always has been. That Trump is actively campaigning against him tells you all you need to know. Still can't believe the two choices for the executive branch will be either Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Not no, but hell no.

So Why hold out for Kennedy Center for the Arts?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...d-of-trustees/
With three days to go in his tenure, President Obama named Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and National Security Advisor Susan E. Rice as trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The two Obama administration heavyweights fill the last two vacancies on the arts center’s governing board, which has 36 presidentially-appointed members. Each member serves a six-year, unpaid term. With these appointment, all 36 have been appointed by Obama, who steps down Friday after eight years in office.

If there is a way to milk that money out of there, she'll figure it out and surely attempt to destroy our culture along the way.

Look at these numbers. The Chinese govt is lying to us.

If I squint at these numbers and based on what I understand about Italy and Spain, it looks like about 100,000 deaths in the US. Total swag.

If you weren’t in one of these high-risk groups, but we see that there are a fair number admissions for people outside of those groups, if you had access at home to medical 02, would you use some of that to keeps your stats up rather than go to the hospital? Asking for a friend."



In general, about 80% of patients who test COVID-19 positive can recover at home. Those who experience difficulty breathing or with oxygenation need hospital level care. Of those, a significant portion need ICU care. When respiratory distress happens with this disease, it happens quickly- the need for a little extra oxygen can rapidly escalate to the need for a ventilator. If you get this disease and you are having trouble breathing, you better get yourself to the hospital. I would use the supplemental oxygen en route to the ER. I'm all for home care and staying away from doctors, but I bet it's pretty hard for someone to put a tracheal tube in himself.

Maybe like that family in New Jersey? Getting inundated with it seems to have worse outcomes than perhaps inhaling the suspended virus from a stranger walking by.



Too bad you can't just shoot this shit! NVG's or IR don't help either. Damn!

Thanks. When you have a hammer and there is a nail, the inclination is to hammer it. Was just wondering about it since hospitals are like roach hotels, check-in and say good-bye. It's like the scene in GoodFellas about Joe P getting whacked- most hospitals around here are saying no visitors. So if you go, you come home or they send a bill. While not that fit, I seem to have a pretty wicked-good immune system.

But like you said, I was wondering about the progression and if you might miss a 'window'.

A good summary: we were warned it was a matter of when, not if, ventilators already identified the weak link, Obummer admin used bunch of n95s and didn't replace, now we're behind the curve trying to play catch up, and we're all paying the price for it:

A disaster foretold: Shortages of ventilators and other medical supplies have long been warned about

WASHINGTON —

Fear was growing in hospitals across the country in 2009 as a frightening epidemic that came to be called the H1N1 swine flu swept across the globe.

From Galveston, Texas, where a hospital ran out of test kits, to Loma Linda University Medical Center in San Bernardino, which had to set up tents to handle a crush of patients, to New York, where hospitals scrambled to bring on extra emergency staff, it appeared the nation’s healthcare system would be overwhelmed.

The worst did not materialize. The lesson, though, was clear: The nation needed larger caches of standby medical supplies and hospitals that were better prepared to handle a surge of infected patients.

A decade later, the coronavirus crisis is exposing many of the same gaps. Inadequate supplies of protective masks, ventilators, intensive care beds and other medical resources are forcing mass closures of schools and businesses and restrictions on everyday activities as public officials rush to slow the virus so America’s medical system isn’t overwhelmed.
