Almost half of my admits in the past day have been for either deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism related to COVID or post-COVID. This needs to be a national discussion asap.

De Santis actually thought this in his head and thought it was smart. And then his spokesperson thought it was smart too and shared it.

These people are breathtakingly stupid. https://t.co/TxjVopIk9n
Responsible people get tested for HIV and other STIs. All K-12 teachers must be tested for TB. People get tested for Hep B & C. These are all standard.

DeSantis Asked If People Got Tested for Illness Before COVID-19 https://t.co/1qJVOROcur
DeSantis' efforts to recruit Covid-19 to come to a state where it will be treated with respect are paying off big. https://t.co/PjukIoqPbx

"By the end of the month, according to the CDC’s forecasts, COVID will be sending at least 24,700 and up to 53,700 Americans to the hospital every single day," @edyong209 reports. Most people will be oblivious—until they need medical care and can’t get it. https://t.co/xgwITB2nrj

A new CDC analysis found that severe illness and death from Covid were extremely rare in vaccinated people. Among 1,228,664 fully vaccinated people across the US, 185 (0.015%) had severe illness and 36 (0.0033%) died. Covid vaccines are extremely safe and remarkably effective.

This, after ignoring 4 years of Trump showing up for work at noon, then going golfing for 1/4 of his term. WAPO can just GTFO. https://t.co/55Z2DHncMq

Morning…I feel like every day is the same day as before.
Yeah. It would have been such a relief if the country could have put out some of the fires — mended the Court, passed voting rights, passed BBB — and we could all exhale for a bit.
But no. Let’s all just keep sitting in the flames with the little dog saying, “This is fine.”
Manchin & Sinema have been an infuriating surprise, but there’s also the insane lack of urgency I can’t understand.
I’ve been tested repeatedly to determine whether I had strep or tonsillitis, whether I had the flu and if so which strain, etc. Getting tested to determine what you have so it can be properly treated so you don’t get much much sicker is a thing. DeSantis is an idiot and he makes people around him dumber from having to listen to him.
Just a routine exam involves testing your blood pressure and giving a blood sample for testing. I actually have not been tested for covid, but I sure as heck have two vaccinations and a booster plus a stash of N95 masks.
Getting blood drawn from a vein is much more painful than getting a vaccination. Just look at the needle size! I suspect a lot of the anti-vax rhetoric arises from fear of needles, especially in men who are too embarrassed to admit it.
JJ I’m ecstatic about the JWST deployment and have been watching NASA’s tracking stats on YouTube (gosh their PR is trrble) since the launch which I got up early to watch. Waiting for the results will be hard but I’m stoked beyond measure!
Me too! 😆
Him I remember.
Wonder why? (sarcastic voice)

As a teacher, our byword was always that ‘there are no stupid questions.’ So Monsieur Cole couldn’t stand it and set out to prove me wrong. 🙄
Christ on a bike, bozo. One little internet search would have given you about 10,000 answers, all the same. WE WANT POCKETS.
(Historical note: medieval women had pockets. Then in the late Middle Ages / early Renaissance, 1500s?, when there was also a lot of witchburning, some men made the point that the conniving little so-and-sos could be carrying anything, anything!, in those pockets. They decreed women’s clothes should not have pockets. I am not making this up. Pockets are political.)
And the political is personal.
Tweet photo was cut off — the skirt has pockets! And the woman has her hands in the pockets.
