Trump just now on Wisconsin. I'm paraphrasing since it was live:

Reporter: "What do you say about you're advice about social distancing and the people voting in Wisconsin?"

Trump: "That's not my problem. That's the democratic governor's problem."

It's not exactly like he got chloroquine out of thin air. It's an very old drug, and the chinese have been experimenting with it since the beginning of the outbreak.
During the SARS outbreak in 2004 by a team of virologists in Belgium under Professor Van Ranst (a guy you see on the news every night now here), found the antivirally working of it against SARS and it could be used at concentrations safe for humans. But the SARS epidemic died out too fast in China and Canada, making it impossible to test chloroquine in patients.

Anyway, a lot of people have been testing it now, some more safely than others. And it will always remain dangerous. Also, there are a fuckton of people out there that bought these aquarium pills, because the shops sold out.

There's also already a couple of other 'wonderdrugs' they're looking in to, like ivermectine. All can potentially be deadly.

Yeah I think the more annoying thing is it's just become this 'Trump Cure' where it's nothing of the sort, just a well known medication that Trump happened to hear something about and his idiot brain latched onto it, that's all. People are acting like daddy trump loving brewed the poo poo in his basement for christ sake

What does yellow/orange-ish puke means when you got nothing else in your stomach?

the only time that happened to me it was from food poisoning. i was in italy and ate a steak that was basically raw because i thought it was normal there. maybe it is, and it tasted great, but the next day it made me extremely sick and after i puked up all the actual food i kept puking up some kind of orange goo for the next week even though i couldnt eat anything at all. it sucked. did you eat a raw steak or anything else sketchy recently?

Yeah, that's just bile because your stomach is empty, nothing to do with the actual cause of the vomiting. Not much you can do except try to keep some fluids down to keep hydrated and see a doctor if it continues for more than like a day or two (because you might have something more serious causing the neverending vomit carnival)

Again.
That's bile.

You puked until you ran out of food and so you puked up mucus and bile. Bile is sorta weirdish colored at best. It's not specifically raw steak poisoning. Or even just food poisoning.
They just puked on an empty stomach.

e: also eat beef raw almost all the drat time if it's steak. That's good and normal.

How China weaponized its supply chain


quote:

Damningly, while President Xi Jinping tried to suppress the pandemic brewing in Wuhan, his senior advisors conspired to weaponize China’s medical supply chain by draining high-quality medical supplies from Western sources, flooding desperate ones with bad equipment, and controlling a global position in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This represents a whole new unimaginable concept for Canadian foreign policy to contend with: weaponized medicine.

i used to eat beef extremely rare all the time before that happened, as well as straight up raw beef in the form of carpaccio, but that one was definitely more like a big steak that had been very briefly seared and was mostly completely raw. like i said it was very tasty. but after that bout of food poisoning ive felt ill every time ive eaten rare beef (even a very good steak) and tend to avoid beef in general these days. rare/raw beef is always a gamble, you can be fine for years and then get something that just fucks you up

I think it's dumber then that, they give cheap quickly made medical supply just for propaganda so they look good in the eyes of the eyes of their population and their allies. Doesn't matter that when the gig is up everyone realized they are cheap piece of poo poo. They can say "We gave them x amount of y supply during the crisis".

Yep! Evers comes in and can't even do anything because of those fuckers. Plus our Supreme Court is all right wing people. Nothing will happen until those two fuckers are gone and that's very unlikely because we have almost the worst gerrymandering in the country.

I posted a while back about a scammy N95 mask selling site my dad got suckered into paying $70 for a box of masks, he actually got them in the mail today and they're really bad Chinese counterfeits of "Uniair" brand masks (which are made by a Taiwanese company and are actually NIOSH certified). Breathing through them is like breathing through nothing at all, can't imagine they're filtering much but I guess it's better than nothing if people are wearing bandanas and poo poo.

In a shocking turn of events the website has disappeared! https://pinlisale.com/

Reminder again if you have old parents warn them about sketchy websites and trusting their lives to counterfeits made by criminals.

Oh, you don't have to do all the things, just one. Even hospitals are only doing one. If you have UVC and a safe place to set it up that's probably the one least likely to contribute wear and tear to the mask. Just don't go blind.

Why are you so dysfunctional with your voting procedure.

It is almost as bad as the Republican Roman system, where on the first day the nobility voted, then on subsequent days the ever lower classes of the city would queue, but in practice voting was considered conclusive long before everybody had their turn.

But it really looks like the USA is drifting towards a similar system.

It completely depends on which state you live in. In the not completely lovely states like California, Oregon, Washington, you get your ballot in the mail, take your time filling it out, then mail it back whenever. I live in CA and have voted in every election for several decades and I can't remember the last time I voted in person.
