I have drawn a lot of heavy stuff in the past 2 weeks… here is something I needed to draw to buoy my mood.
The Fauci faces pain scale.

Mostly funny with some serious news.
This is an open thread…
Dump’s motivations behind recklessly sending that stockpile to China probably revolve around:
a) trying to look like a bigshot to Xi
b) see (a) above
Art of the Deal! I’d like to see more reporting on this. Was it the entire stockpile? Who was advising him?
Oh just reading jslat’s reply from last night….I’ll calm down now. Still – the shortages are just so alarming. Can’t imagine what it’s like on the front lines.
It’s not time to calm down.
From The Atlantic article
Oh no. Stay safe, dear Dak.
I’m inside and I’m getting food delivery so should be okay …. it just is what it is … walk the dog still and the neighborhood is quiet and we dog walkers wave at each other from across the street.
All funny cartoons except the Charles and Camilla one. That one is ghastly.
Yeah. I have to admit, I had the same reaction. The others, though, so on target it hurts.
Also, the guy with the sign outside the emergency room. The comment on that is right. I am not crying. I was just chopping onions. (not)
Yeah, it hit the trifecta: misogyny, ageism and a callous attitude toward an ailing human being.
Yes. The only people calling a older woman an “‘old bat” are woman-haters.
Frankly we should all be so lucky to grow old with the partner we fell in love with when we were young.
The head of Mass. General Hospital says Mass. will soon look like NY.
Is it possible Mexico just isn’t testing very thoroughly and so doesn’t know how many cases they have?
Admittedly, the US hasn’t tested very thoroughly, but it’s still obvious what a mess it is here.
Also it’s the end of summer in S. America. So they are just getting started with this.
One of the alarming things I’m reading is how this will start down there now and then come back up here in the Fall with a vengeance. The 1918 outbreak did that and the second wave was far worse.
That’s what i’ve thought … not that I actually have the data … but it seems like that’s likely given what the governor hasn’t done.

Dr daughter sent this …. you may check you state
Checked Washington. Thank you Jay Inslee! We have enough hospital beds. We need more ICU beds, but as of last week we have the Army here to set up a field hospital. Also, Kirkland where it all started has been flattening. Peak appears to be mid-April.
He is disgusting. He is repulsive. His ego is a unsatisfiable hungry ghost.
Where do we get the masks?
The article goes into how even cloth home-sewn masks offer some protection.
