"Birx should be wearing a mask."

Yes, but she's built like a Birx s-house!

[McGruff]

Testing everyone is not the cure all?

[Jane Long]

LOL...if you are keeping track, we’ll be sloshed, soon.

[nutmeg]

😄

[Buckeye McFrog]

They are telling us in very dry and boring ways that testing everyone is impossible.

[nutmeg]

Oops! I didn’t realize this one wasn’t in Breaking... It sure should be!

[Aaron0617]

Testing everyone is not the cure all?

I thought so. 300+million tests. A test at every mall entrance, burger joint, workplace and corner drug store.

[Cboldt]

-- Granular! Down your shot! --

LOL. COVID doctor bingo!

I'm glad the word isn't "asymptomatic."

[SamAdams76]

If this show keeps up, more people may succumb to "death by Powerpoint" than Covid-19 tonight.

Trump promised to come out later tonight to answer questions so that might be our saving grace.

[GnuThere]

I didn’t, I just tuned in and looked at the sidebar.

[advertising guy]

Oral or rectoral ?

some have asked

[Buckeye McFrog]

Contact trace a million? Sure, it’s a snap!

[djstex]

Then why test us!
I just find this so ………………..

[smvoice]

Then let Susan Collins form her own scientific talk show. Something tells me though, she has the intellect of a Sesame Street panel of scientists.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“Just started watching. When did POTUS leave ?”

Before anyone else spoke. About 35 minutes before Dr. Birx.

[McGruff]

You can get tested today and be negative and you can develop the virus tomorrow.

[combat_boots]

I see a business opportunity here....

A MAGA swatter.

[Jane Long]

I need to send POTUS and Dr Scarf some of my 4 Hour Allergy.

It’s the only thing that knocks out our allergies, in TX.

Everything else had stopped working :(

[nutmeg]

Wow, thanks. All this time I assumed “Paige” was the father of her grown child(ren).

[CedarDave]

At the entrance I was stopped, answered questions - have I travelled, been in contact with covid positive patient, etc. No to all and given a mask and waited in an empty waiting room for under five minutes. EMT’s had stopped the bleeding so wasn’t bleeding on the floor. Severe damage to several fingers, bit to the bone. Animal control took the big pit away. Awaiting for pain meds to kick in as local wears off. BTW, we only have one Doc, a contract DR from PHX who comes in for ten days and is replaced. Our population is 40,000 so should have more. However, very ptofessional, from Colorado, trained in emergency medicine at Mt. Sinai hospital in NYC. Very glad to be treated by him.
