Every hospital bill received regarding covid 19

should be sent to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave .

and if not paid, there should be a class-action lawsuit filed..(Trump loves lawsuits).

HE is responsible for the services that had to be rendered.

HE should also have to pay for all the funerals too.

Had he acted in JANUARY when we first knew about the virus, many lives would have been saved and his beloved Wall Street would be in better shape too

States should also sue because of how their budgets have been blasted to smithereens

Here goes: with chicken recipes too

6 lbs of ground beef & 6 chicken breasts

Lots of people say they cannot cook or do not have time…or they can eat fast food cheaper

Here’s a list of multiple meals from the above main ingredients

I feed 2 (but of course these can be easily increased for family size)

#1
The obvious hamburgers (1 lb) served with store bought potato salad, & some grapes (or other fruit)

#2
1 lb for spaghetti sauce..( I have gotten lazy & use prego with added spaghetti seasoning) I add italian seasoning to taste and whatever pasta I have
(at least 4 servings) serve with a salad and bread of choice

#3
2 lbs + 1 minced onion+ 2 eggs + stale bread (food processor) (more bread/more meatloaf) I have taken to making these in burger form and making gravy from pan drippings
Served with green beans/small salad/baked potato/baked apple w/cinnamon
Fresh from the oven + multiple cold meatloaf sandwiches …) I usually freeze it because we get tired of it and don’t want to throw it out.. freezes well

#4
2 lb + 1 large diced onion + 2 large cans of tomatoes (mooshed up) + 1 med can of tomato sauce + 3 small cans of kidney beans (or beans you prefer) + 3 bay leaves + chili powder to taste
Makes a LOT of pretty darned tasty chili.. I usually end up freezing the leftovers

#5
Cook all chicken breasts (the ones with skin and ribs..take cut the bones out) save bones for chicken stock
Olive oil..brown well and sprinkle with Salad Supreme (all sides)
Serve on a bed of rice + broccoli + sliced oranges

#6
Use a food processor/chopped to shred 2 chicken breasts
Add 4 celery stalks (diced finely) + 1 small minced onion+ salad supreme to taste + mayo to get the consistency you like…refrigerate & prepare to have the best chicken salad ever
I serve it on squaw bread with lettuce & paper thin sliced tomato w/salt & pepper
Makes a LOT of sandwiches (at least 10-12)

#7
Remaining 2 cooked chicken breasts.. slice diagonally for chef salad with whatever you like in a big ole salad

These are ALL super easy and anyone can do it..

*Salad Supreme is a McCormick spice & I have found it at Dollar General for a buck  It’s also wonderful to put on chopped potatoes + sliced onion cooked in olive oil (as you cook them)

Trump believes in Darwin's theory

Surprisingly some science has crept into his brain.

Why he suddenly believes.

The virus kills rather quickly
The poorest and oldest are most vulnerable
The undocumented people are high risk
Blue states are predominately affected
This is a republican's wet dream folks..

Once the pandemic is over.

My hope is that EVERY person who has lab work done will request that testing for COVID-19 antibodies is done as well. At least then they would know whether or not they have the antibody. If this virus is anything like other viruses, there should be a marker for the antibody. Those results should then be forwarded to the CDC so they could compile a truer database for when it returns.

This particular part of the panel should be free, if the legislation for testing for it is passed It could help the CDC know just how many more people had it and perhaps how it spread...where the true clusters were. It might make future epidemics easier to track.

WTF, Sonia?

Republican-appointed justices NEVER recuse..Why are Dem-appointeds the only ones who seem obligated to do it?

Norms and rules are sooooo passé.. Even though we would have lost anyway 5-4, at least stay in the fight, Sonia...what are they gonna do..fire you?

By Pete Williams
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will not participate next month when the court hears one of two cases that could change a key element of the system America uses to elect its president — the Electoral College.

The court disclosed Tuesday that Sotomayor took herself off a case from Colorado involving a challenge to a state law directing how presidential electors must cast their votes because of a personal friendship with one of the challengers. That friend, Polly Baca, was one of three electors who argue that they ought to be able to vote for the candidate of their choice instead of the person who won the popular vote in the state — what's known as a "faithless elector."

In a letter to the lawyers in the case, the Supreme Court's clerk, Scott Harris, said Sotomayor concluded that "her impartiality might reasonably be questioned due to her friendship with respondent Polly Baca." The letter said Sotomayor and her clerks failed to catch the potential conflict when the case was first brought to the court.

A question for the scientists

So the virus has been here for a while..you got it early on and recovered..

now you get a test..

will it show up as a "marker" or will it show up and trigger a quarantine?...

Is the test sensitive enough to show an immunity because of a recovered exposure/illness or will any remnant trigger a lockdown?

How many of us could afford a 14 day stay at a hospital?

Washington does not have a handle on covid virus

My friend's daughter is a school nurse..she showed up at the elementary school like any other day..nowhere near Kirkland...doors are padlocked shut.

Kids were being loaded into school buses to be sent home .she spent 20 minutes trying to call..got no answers.

So in Puyallup wa, (in this school),kids were sent home with no notice ..hope they all had keys..
