It's an hour video, why not just say why you posted it? At first glance it's a religious conference? I'm sure it will have some real legit information.

Oh man that's devastating. Prayers to his Fam.

That's awesome. No doubt he'll be smiling down.
 
Alex Azar, the Health and Human Services Secretary, resigned earlier this week, citing the violent Capitol riot inflamed by President Donald Trump in his resignation letter obtained by NBC News.

Azar said his resignation would become effective on Jan. 20th — the same date he would have been leaving office once President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. The letter was dated Jan. 12, almost a week after the riot.

He said that the attack — which left five people dead and many injured — and the president's slow response to condemn it, threaten to "tarnish" the achievements the administration has made over the past four years. In particular, Operation Warp Speed, which led to the creation of two vaccines to combat the raging coronavirus pandemic.

"The attacks on the Capitol were an assault on our Democracy and the tradition of peaceful transitions of power that the United States of America first brought to the world," he said. "I Implore you to continue to condemn unequivocally any form of violence, to demand that no one attempt to disrupt the inaugural activities in Washington or elsewhere and to continue to support unreservedly the peaceful and orderly transition of power on January 20, 2021."

"With the pandemic raging, the continued need to deliver vaccines and therapeutics to the American people, and the imperative of ensuring a smooth transition to the Biden Administration, I have determined that it is in the best interest of the people we serve to remain as Secretary until the end of the term," he added.

The Trump administration has been heavily criticized for its distribution strategy for vaccines. As of Thursday morning, out of more than 30 million vaccine doses distributed nationwide, just over 11 million doses have been administered, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

All those vaccine doses Trump administration said it had in reserve to issue to states? Turns out they don't exist. States scheduled vaccinations that now have to be cancelled.

The evil that men do lives after them.

She's become rather controversial initially stemming from her participation in Front Line Doctors' advocation of hydroxychloroquine as a remedy for COVID. She's now also under investigation by the FBI as she was inside the Capitol building on January 6th. I still find it very, very interesting that this coronavirus has brought so much controversy.

If one of the Trump's run in 2024 they will say it was Biden's fault. It's all in the plan.
 
A Wall Street Journal article provides further evidence of how poor of a decision Governor Brown is making regarding pushing to open schools and putting teachers ahead of the most vulnerable portions of the population:

Her decision is going to ramp up the spread of Covid-19 and it is literally going to be the instigating cause for the deaths of hundreds of elderly people.

The best thing I can say about Donald Trump jr. is he's a weasel. The worst is that he committed treason and ought to get the death penalty but he won't. Why? Because he'll weasel out, hence my nickname for him, The Weasel.

That's what I thought at first, but us elderly are still among the early ones to get the shots.
I've had my first shot and will get my second shot next Saturday, January 23 at 12:15 PM.

Seniors in congregate care facilities and people with disabilities are eligible to be vaccinated in the first group. Those who aren’t in one of thos groups still have to wait. Governor Brown decided that getting teachers vaccinated is more important than keeping the oldest and most vulnerable Oregonians alive. Starting this week, teachers and support staff will be eligible. Two weeks after that, people over 80 become eligible, followed each subsequent week by folks in the 75+, 70+, and 65+ groups. The decision to delay by two weeks the vaccination of those age groups will directly contribute to the deaths of several hundred elderly people.

There are multiple things that are dumb about this misguided plan. First, as I posted above, opening schools at this time can only accelerate the spread of the disease. That will increase the strain on hospitals and doctors. Second, school districts that are looking to reopen soon are mostly planning to open in a limited way, usually K-3rd grades. The teacher vaccination program, however, isn’t limited to those who will actually be teaching live classes. How stupid is that? The Governor said it will take about 100,000 doses of the vaccine for teachers and support staff. That’s 100,000 elderly people who have been pushed back in line. Simply reading the Oregonian’s daily list of the names and ages of the people who have died from Covid-19 will tell you how brutal this policy decision is for the elderly. Now, with the new more transmissible variant showing up in Oregon, we can expect the number of cases to accelerate. Getting the most vulnerable people protected now, before it becomes the predominant strain, is essential. The Governor’s plan flies in the face of that.

Like I say, the most vulnerable have already begun receiving their shots. All Veterans in the VA nursing facility in Vancouver got their shots before the rest of us very vulnerable ones got ours two weeks ago. There were doctors coming in to get their shots that were lined up behind me. My wife is not quite 75 so she will have to wait another month to get hers especially since she has no underlying condition.

My 92-year old mother-in-law, who is pretty damned vulnerable, will have to wait an extra two-weeks while every teacher in Oregon gets vaccinated, including those who will continue to do on-line instruction from home.
 
Post-Covid lungs are worse than the worst smoker's lungs. And that's true of asymptomatic Covid cases. This is really bad news:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-lungs-scarring-smokers-lungs/

I wonder if that means that in 10-15 years there will be an explosion of lung cancer

stupid assholes who refuse to wear masks should be flogged in public...then jailed...without masks

the State of Oregon has dropped the ball in two or three major ways, including the advisory board on vaccinations not holding their first meeting until the 7th of January. That's ridiculous considering we've know since November vaccines were going to arrive sometime in January.

but the schedule had been that people 65 & older, along with teachers, were eligible Jan 23rd. That was until the Feds announced there were no vaccines in the stockpile they had promised were there. This is another trump-generated lie-filled fuck-up

but again, the state has plenty to apologize for. Just go to their website on vaccination schedules and try to figure it out. It's a damn joke

Sure, the Feds screwed up in communicating clearly to the states how much vaccine was available. Brown relied on that bad info in her original plan to open up to teachers and folks over 65 starting next week. When she found out it was bad information, it’s strictly her decision to promote teachers over the elderly. It’s a bad, bad decision and it’s going to kill a bunch of people.
 
Second friend of mine died in the past 36 hours..... this shit has to stop. My friend Neil was a player on the late 80s early 90s Jefferson HS teams and was an absolute beast.....father of 2...... loved this dude like a brother and he will be missed...... #WearAFuckingMask
