To me, it's very obvious that the GOP is banking on killing people with COVID-19 to win in November.

They are also going after the Post Office to win in November.
And the way they are confiscating PPE, makes me think they will do the same thing should a vaccine arrive before November: only give it to red states, and the rich.

I don't know what can be done, but I sure hope our party has some power to stop this.

I had a "telemed" with the health provider the other day and was advised to reschedule another one in 3 mos. as a follow-up, again via telephone.

Today I called to schedule and was advised that they are not doing this any longer.

I advised them that I am very high-risk and was told not to go out at all.

I was told that things are different now.

Big change over night.

Would you go? Would you?

I sure as hell don't want to take such a high risk -- fighting another infection right now in fact.

Yes, they want nothing more than to off the lot of those of my ilk, old, sick, disabled = useless.

Kinda sad in retrospect because I gave it my best shot. I tried.

Hence, fuck these bastards! Some folks DO NOTICE!

I blamed myself for not calling immediately after the appt. to reschedule as I really do not care to go there.

The last time I was there they wanted to drug test me and pointed me to the bathroom. The toilet was filthy, having been just used and I won't elaborate further.

So they got their tests and I left.

I was glad I did not have to go back again for this B.S. I go through to get the medications I require to remain semi-stable.

Now this!

Frankly, I fear going there, I really do. If it is real bad when the time comes when I am supposed to go, I simply will not. It is not worth it! NO.

Wild indeed. Do they want the damn money or not? That's what it is all abt. anyway w/me -- money and nothing else!

a scheduler? I would call again and ask for the manager or billing supervisor. Don't quit until you get a more thorough and hopefully a more satisfying result. Good luck! ❤ lmsp

However they seem to be killing off more Trumpsters than anti Trump folks. We read more, we heed direction more, we can read above a 6th grade level.

The split they showed yesterday between college educated people to non college educated was breathtaking. And the non educated are passing away way more than us.

I like our chances to win and then investigate the Hell out of Trump and his enablers.
