    Why is propofol is short supply? It's short acting. I would not think it terribly useful in sedating intubated patients. George?

    Very useful - when given by infusion. You through gallons of the stuff.

    He shot himself

    https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2019/04/08/dutch-f-16-makes-emergency-landing-after-plane-shoots-itself/

    **"A Dutch F-16 fighter jet flying a training exercise over the Netherlands scored a direct hit — on itself — when the pilot fired the aircraft’s 20mm rotary cannon.

    Sometimes, even inanimate objects will do anything to get out of training.

    The Royal Netherlands Air Force pilot was able to make an emergency landing at Leeuwarden Air Base after the plane suffered “considerable damage,” according to a report from Dutch state media.

    At least one round ripped through the jet’s exterior, the report said, while munition fragments were also found in the aircraft’s engine."**

    A summary I saw in English (Klaus - tell us if this translation sums it up):

    So on September 1, you can go to a concert but not to church?

    It's based on ticket price.

    Florida also presided over a weeks-long super spreading event that effected the whole country.

    A man noticed a gorgeous woman staring at him from across the room. Suddenly she started walking toward him, never taking her eyes off of him. She walked up, looked at him her big blue eyes and in the sexiest voice he'd ever heard said "hello. My name is Carmen. I chose that name because it encompasses the two things I love the most and can't do without - cars, and men. And what is your name?"

    The man says "Pussy. Pussy Beertits.".....

    I would too. We are long overdue for an honest conversation about how much government we can afford.

    @Jolly said in What's not being talked about.:

    I'm seeing very little in the media about the lasting effects of COVID-19 on many patients. Pulmonary problems, cardiac problems, kidney problems, and other life-long ailments.

    I saw something about this but it was in context that these life long after effects occur in many viruses such as the flu. They don’t know yet if it’s more prevalent yet but if more victims you will see more. Wish I could find the article.

    How long does that bird has to wait before it can fly again? I watched the video to the end hoping to see it fly but it doesn’t by the end of the video. How would that rabbit come out of the cloaca later?

    Congratulations to these two patients and their healthcare providers.

    What’s the statistical significance of this two cases? Very much looking forward to some systematic clinical trial results.

    I agree they need a look, but Trump needs to be careful about saying those who failed in their duty need to be held accountable. Those are very subjective terms and he has so many vultures circling over him.
