Clarence Thomas hospitalized with "an infection."

[George K]

"An infection" is probably not COVID-19 if they're treating it with antibiotics, unless it's a "superinfection" on top of COVID-19.

Kidney?

Pneumonitis?

Something GI related?

I think it’s counterproductive when they don’t say what it really is.

Like obits of youngish people that make no
mention of cause of death.

Yes. It invites all kinds of speculation.

Flu-like symptoms.

This person is a former columnist for the New York Times.

Imagine, that is genuinely her trying to maintain the high road. These are the limits of the much touted and indeed identity forming “compassion” people like her are so proud of themselves for. Scratch the surface and they’re a primate just like everybody else.

I thought the same thing. If her tweet is her definition of "high road".......

5 days. What’s up?

[Jolly]

He's sick.

Consider the age. Consider IV antibiotic use. consider the media has been whuppin' up on his wife causing additional stress. Consider he's a Supreme and they don't get the rush that most of us do to get discharged.

If Justice Thomas joins RBG during Mr. Biden's term, I assume he will be replaced by someone of the correct color and gender.

Is that a good assumption?

I would bet money that a Dem president will not nominate a straight white male judge again in my lifetime.

I was inpatient on IV antibiotics for two weeks. Then had to take superantibiotic infusions that lasted two weeks each. Infections can be tough to clear.

[jon-nyc]

Wow. When was that, Mik?

[Horace]

That was when his leg got infected. I remember because he wrote about it here, and I care about other people.

[jon-nyc]

You are surely the official empath of TNCR.

[Jolly]

Somebody has to do it.

I prefer "mind reader".

[Copper]

I didn't care whether Mik had legs, I just accepted him as a member.

[jon-nyc]

You are surely the official member-accepter of TNCR.

December 2019. It sucked.
