Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

Now that their kids don’t have school many won’t be able to come to work and the patient loads will overwhelm the remaining staff. Not to mention the current protocol is for Covid exposed workers to work until they develop symptoms, and they self report those symptoms.

Hmmm. Not a very good process here.....

Hope we learn from this and the next pandemic is a bit smoother.

According to the CDC (and literally everything I have seen other than your post), "Presumptive Positive" means that a local lab has received a positive test result which is pending confirmation by the CDC...

Correct. You don’t have flu, have symptoms, but no official confirmation from CDC. I was typing too quickly earlier

. Who said that, tRump? Bahahahaha. Hollow words from that con man. If some report doesn't portray him in the most positive of lights then it's fake news and partisan. The words in the quote are spot on, however, he's the problem, not the solution. We need Bill Weld as President now more than ever.

It's the last night this year of college basketball as we've known it. Starting tomorrow no fans at least in the major conferences..

Is it too much to hope for that there won't be any announcers/ play by play idiots?

So NBA is suspended because of the jazz dude gobert or whatever his name is tested positive for rat flu. My daughter has a class mate whose dad is on the jazz.
No more school for my kids. We are done.

Is it too much to have X pull their heads out of their asses and beat fucking DePaul?

I was too. I had Final Four tickets lined up and everything at Mercedes-Benz Stadium downtown. They haven't announced if they're cancelling all the festivities that go along with the FF yet. I imagine they will as the last time it was in town there were three times the people in Centennial Park breaking down fences to see the bands than there were in the Georgia Dome.

I'm very curious to see what happens in Augusta in a month for the Masters.
