Watching 60 Minutes tonight Got me sad and angry, then sad again, then angrier.

[Stinky The Clown]

The first story was about Covid Long Haulers. How they have a variety of symptoms, some quite debilitating, all with no clear cause . . . . . except out of control Covid-19. Unsaid in the piece is it did NOT have to be this way. Had Donald Fucking Trump done his job, things may well have been different. And THAT is what pissed me off.

For the sake of those in time zones west of me, I will withhold the story's footnote ending which was quite a shocker.

The next story was about missing school kids. They are missing because they did not show up for school this year, mainly due to the social and financial impacts of Covid-19. The story's focus was on Hillsborough County (Tampa) FL. where they started the year with 7,000 kids missing at the start of school. The social worker now searches full time for the kids. Grandparents, motels, homeless encampments. All kinds of reasons why they weren't in school. At the time of the show, they had found all but 400 of the kids. It didn't have to be this way. Once again, as for the story above, had Donald Fucking Trump done his job, things may well have been different. And THAT is what pissed me off.

We can not be rid of Donald Fucking Trump soon enough.

1. tRump is a derelict

And his dereliction of duty should result in charges of negligent homicide...

[The Genealogist]

2. All for the sake of one man's fragile ego

[malaise]

3. It didn't have to be this way

That simple

[bdamomma]

4. It

really didn't. Worthless empty shell he is.

[bdamomma]

5. That Anderson Cooper story

was sad, especially when he was talking to that Dr. about the clots that were found in people brain, lungs, liver so horrible. And that Dr died of a massive heart attack. So tragic. We just need this to end.

[OverBurn]

6. The damage Trump has inflicted will last decades.

7. In terms of debilitating long term consequences

Covid Long Haulers sound like the fallout from other, somewhat less serious illnesses such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Mercury and heavy metal toxicity, even irritable bowel. Yes this covid will seriously impact their lives.

Love that you've taken to tag Donald with a middle name.

Covid is equivalent to a war. But unlike WWII, we're losing, in fact we've lost. Our economy is in collapse, our currency is diluted with massive injections that aren't working and won't work, much of the rest of the world has been much more successful. We are left with the massive death toll, and health care costs, and economic fallout. We have lost. The US Dollar is toast. Other regions and countries wil recover faster, and have the financial clout to recover. Soon, our investing public will find out. Capital flight will have us invested in Asia and India, and Europe and Africa. Take a long view DUers. Educate yourself. It ain't all 401K's are ok. Fallout is coming, real estate collapse is coming (tons of YouTube videos on that subject now). Prepare.

i just read the transcript of 60 Minutes' story. I had Chronic Fatigue. They sound similar. Body depleted of minerals, nutrients. If I get covid syndrome I will go with what I used for CFS: small amounts of magnesium, fish oil and flax oil 6 caps a day, green drink powders, MSM methylsufonylmethane, vitamin C 5000mg, ALA, lots of fluids, light exercise, stretching. That got me rolling again with CFS. Sounds to me like the fevers and immune response has flushed every bit of toxin in the body into circulation. I was treated by a competent doctor, but he didn't understand it entirely, he just pointed in the right direction.

13. It's an EXCELLENT middle name for him, if you ask me!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

15. Also similar to Lyme disease and Fibromyalgia.

And autoimmune disorders like Rheumatoid arthritis and Psoriatic arthritis.

Thanks for posting the treatment regimen. Similar to what I did for post Lyme and the flare ups of PA.

8. At the Paris Accord meeting,

our asshole president left to go play golf when the discussion moved to the pandemic. The president of the United States denies that there is a virus. And his cult followers go right along with him. How stupid do we seem to the rest of the world??? Two more months and we will start to seem smarter.

[Initech]

9. America turned into the shithole countries he railed on.

[RainCaster]

10. Republicans only care about the children till they're born

After that, not so much.
Education? Zilch
Healthcare? Zip
Nutrition? Nah
Education? Hee hee
Protection? Hah!

This is our government hardly working for us.

[certainot]

11. thank your local rw radio station, echoing limbaugh, who coordinated with trump to

make COVID as bad as possible for profit and election sabotage

[Raine]

12. I wonder how Long Haulers are doing

in other countries, better, worse, or the same.

[demigoddess]

14. Trump couldn't run his businesses, who thought he could run the country?

only people who believe lies.
