New data show a really disturbing set of sequelae after seemingly uneventful recoveries from "mild" cases of Covid 19.

Serious and potentially fatal brain disorders triggered by coronavirus, as they emergein mildly affected or recovering patients.
Can we hope that the revelation (suppressed for months) that Russian intelligence has been paying the Taliban bounties for dead GI's will rouse Trump to irritation?

As you read this, AOC has been re-nominated in a blowout win over a Wall Street Republican newly converted to a Democrat who received over 5 million dollars from panicked plutocrats, including Blackstone and Goldman honchos.
This guy is seriously lucky--he should go directly to the nearest (open) casino and start pulling the slot machine lever till he hits the ten jackpots in a row that are due him...
Evidently the Brooks Brothers neo nazi uniforms from Charlottesville (ableit tastefully accessorized with indiscretely placed swastica pins) have morphed into Hawaiin Shirts (?1) as garb for the fashionable white supremecist out for a little provacateur ramble.
I call upon my Anonymous comrades to penetrate the communications net that must underlie what I have no doubt is the false flag operation seeking to seize upon this moment as the time to foment the fulfillment of their nutty race war dreams..
It may not be like Johnson losing Walter Cronkite, but one may hope that Trump felt a shadow on his grave when he read Coulter's responses to his (predictable) attacks on Jeff Sessions. (o/t-only Trump could make that piece of shit Sessions sympathetic...
One can only hope for a twitterstorm out of the orange pustule...
On Friday March 16, Trump did a little redirecting of clogging streams of international flyers arriving from Europe.
Combining unnecessarily panic producing miscommunication with utter lack of though, the administration, amongst its other crimes of incompetence, packed huge cohorts of covid19 spreaders intimately and persistently in contact with potential host.
The amalgam of Brix who posits a shutdown bit by be ameliorated when testing is available (LOL)
The WHO casting serious shade on big time natural immunity post first infection.

Yesterday Robert Costa ended his Washington Week extra by teasing Michelle Obama as a topic of VP speculation.
The hurdle: She loathes the prospect.
The argument: "Michelle, your country needs you."
Certainly her presence on the ticket would vastly enhance our chances of surviving another year or two (unlike our chances if Trump is re-elected, considering the American carnage he has already created.(See what I did there?)
From my peculiar perspective as a Sermon on the Mount (only) Christian, this would be, I think, an appropriate time to do a little anti-Yahwist gloating.
