Somebody Ask Jared Whose Ambulances These Are

My dad was a Queens paramedic long ago and still listens to the dispatch radio as background noise. He was wondering last night why he heard dispatchers start spelling out the names of streets. Mystery solved https://t.co/iHkSaOHyPP

Fed’l government tells states to go find their own PPEs.

Well, aside from taking it away from all the people who need it to treat their lupus, there's the risks of cardiac failure, the fact the French have found it useless, the fact the Chinese stopped experimenting with it, the simple moral issue of experimenting on human beings at all (do I violate Godwin's Law if I mention the Nazis now?), and aside from the real physical risks the danger of false hope which will make people less accepting of a real cure/vaccine that may come along in due time.

I am full bore sick of this shit.
