lol no but I assume most Americans won't be paying 2019 taxes for a long time if they owe.

The timing is pretty suspicious.

Real news or fake?

Pelosi has made her entire fortune with illegal - unless you're a politician - insider trading. What else is new? Yes they should resign.

You do know that Congress long ago has exempted itself from any insider trading rules. Such laws do not apply to them.

A few years back when that news was trending they unexempted themselves for a couple of months. When the news died down they exempted themselves again.

Diana Feinstein is not a conservative. She’s listed too.

Sure, all of this is proof Trump was right all along.

Dependency on China is bad for everyone except executives who get massive bonuses for putting millions of Americans out of work.

Consumers benefited from cheap shit made by Chinese slave labor with no pollution controls, but now the bill is due.

Slight problems in management. Nobody in the government has any credibility any more EXCEPT Trump, even with his bloviating.

What did politicians do? They used inside information to sell their stocks, contributing to the crash but saving themselves. Now, the officials and politicians are scrambling back along their ratlines to their keepers, asking for spin instructions to maximally exploit the situation for country-fucking but narrow political agendas rather than genuine public welfare. No wonder it all looks like a goddam Chinese Fire Drill rather than responsible people working together to do the right thing.

OPEN FIRE!

Toilet paper crisis? What toilet paper crisis?

Same already done in other countries.

True but their police and military aren't constantly indoctrinated with the belief that they're surrounded by libby jihadists who are bent on destroying America and making their pets gay and who must die if America is to have any chance of surviving the crimes of Jimmy Carter, the Clintons and the monstrous Kenyan.

They got it way worse. Count your blessings, also gay frogs.

When I was in New Orleans in school, I had asthma like condition in the Winter, mild but consistent. The jet stream drops in and out, flipping the weather between humid Caribbean and Midwest cold, and it triggers asthmatics in droves. The asthmatics flood the emergency rooms when the weather and heat/cold flip. They can be any age, but often young. Many of these asthmatics have to be on ventilator with chemotherapy support to survive.

I also had the 'lung apoplexy' thing happen to me a couple of years ago when I had my completely unheralded two killer flus. I knew exactly how people die, because there is a critical period where the body can have a very sudden, anaphylactic-like reaction to the virus and the lungs suddenly clamp down. Mine wasn't bad enough to kill, but having it made me realize what happens. If you survive this short period, you will be sick but will survive. If you don't, you strangle to death rather quickly. It was this 'lung apoplexy' phase that killed dramatically in the Spanish Flu. It can happen with any severe virus or flu, depending on the susceptibility and reserves of the particular patient.

I would imagine in New Orleans there are people who may incidentally have Covid-19 and suffer an asthmatic attack at the same time. So, this turkey is a panic repeating station and is probably attributing cause and effect to enhance the 'reputation' of Covid-19. I love that it's the usual anonymous 'medical care worker' agog with wonder. It means the irresponsible journalism has a straw man, as usual, quoting and paraphrasing to re-enforce the notion that Covid-19 is dangerous to young people.

So the reports of hospitals and this interview from Pro Publica are all fabrications?

Uncredited, anonymous, journalist filtered agog news which doesn't pass the sniff test (medical issues that most people are unsophisticated about). A 'medical worker' respiratory therapist, not a clinician, scientist or doctor even? Anonymous why?

Who is this Soros about whom you speak?

"How accurate is ProPublica?" Left center. "There's no absolute measures, but probably less often than most others; they take journalism seriously these days ( a rarity), and they won two Pulitzers in their first four years.

So far as I can discover, they've had one 'major' complaint, which appears to have been conjured using selected items out of context. Either way, it was a political complaint, and any investigative journal is bound to get them."

I would call this article 'selected items out of context'. Of course, the Pulitzer Prize isn't exactly rocking the real meter either these days.
