BTW, I feel for ya. Had an diverticulitis attack some years ago and it was the worst pain I’ve ever had. Awful
Thanks...yeah, it was pretty much the worst pain ever. Going to have to have surgery, had two attacks in 8 weeks. Can’t wait to see what they charge my insurer for that...
If you're right, and it works, we'll have a real zombie.
When you have a messiah who is desperately trying to rig elections one month away, you just have to expect some miracles in the process.
I like a double heavy duty body bag, C-130 cargo plane and drop this selfish wretch out into the Atlantic. Decontaminate the cargo hold on the way back. Problem solved.
And if he dies, there will be HUGE civil rights lawsuits as to why it was the black man who died.
....”HUGE civil rights lawsuits as to why it was the black man who died”....
Guaranteed!...the family will sue no matter if he lives or dies. And you can be sure the same Ol’ Attorney fest have been calling already.
Yeah, but think of the lawsuit that he will file once he is out of the hospital...He was forced to wear a racist white gown...
The Mayor of Dallas and that idiot county judge are just making fools of themselves talking about how he is a citizen of Dallas and Dallas loves them blah, blah, blah. The mayor himself rode with the girlfriend to the macmansion where they are now ensconced with free food and everything else. It’s good to be the girlfriend of the the Ebola criminal in Dallas. Just being an illegal gives you special status with these 2 clowns, Jenkins and Rawlins.
Yes, I read that he had died too. He probably has, there will be a massive cover-up of how many will be infected IMHO.
His death was never confirmed. In my opinion, what happened was that he coded, and he was revived with paddles. It has been reported by family that he is on a ventilator and that he has no kidney function left. He’s also unconscious. It’s too bad, for him and his family, that they waited so long to try something. I can’t imagine that it will help, but who knows? Maybe it will.
Thanks for the ping!
Many mysteries with all of this. Now we have Marburg breaking out and another hemorragic fever in South America together with the other viruses already hitting here.
It sure feels like the whole country is going to be exposed to something this winter. The hospitals are really going to have challenges dealing with all this.
