    I would have thought it would take a fair amount of time to compile death statistics for the entire country, particularly when the CDC is more than busy with other things.

    What's odd is how hard some people seem to want to try to deny what at this point should be screamingly bloody obvious.

    I ordered one of the molds to make these. Each mold has space for 37 Pelmemi, which are like a ravioli done Russian style. I showed my kiddo a picture of these and she's all into making big batches of these.

    I should get a second mold for the two of us to make big batches, because they freeze very well. Of course, the next time I'm at her place, we'll make boodles to fill her freezer.

    I also need to get a cookbook that has lots of recipes for various fillings. We love this kind of thing.

    There were billions for hospitals in the last bill. I assume there will be more in the next one.

    After hearing all of the nice things about ventilators, I think I'd opt out.

    Yeah... it doesn't look attractive, does it?

    If we're going to have death panels triage patients, wouldn't it make sense to direct resources to those who have the highest probability of survival.

    On the battlefield, what would be done with an injury that had only a 20% chance of survival when resources are limited?

    @Larry said in Bernie drops out:

    @Axtremus said in Bernie drops out:

    Indeed, the current occupant of the White House inspire many people into thinking, most likely correctly, that they can do the job better.

    The "current occupant" is our president, and I'll thank you to refer to him as such. Get used to it, Because he will be our president until 2024.

    As for doing a better job... you can't even find your own ass. A common denominator among the majority of people who think they can do a better job.

    Ol' WTG loves to refer to him as I-1 (Individual One). Childish. And I hope she chokes on the word re-election or reelection, depending on whether one prefers Cambridge or Oxford dictionaries.

    @Aqua-Letifer said in What to do?:

    Attempted murder?

    Assault at the very least.

    If they threaten, it is assault. If they actually cough or spit, you might could make the case for aggravated assault.

    @Axtremus said in Rand Paul goes to work:

    He is a doctor (of optometry), right?

    The “optometry” bit was wrong.
    Rand Paul graduated from Duke with an M.D. degree and did his residency in ophthalmology.

    Which is, basically what I pointed out.
