    Re: Covid-19

    Federal prosecutors charged a locomotive driver at the Port of Los Angeles with intentionally derailing a train near the U.S. Navy’s hospital ship Mercy because he suspected it was not there to help with the coronavirus crisis.

    Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro, was charged with deliberately wrecking a train during the incident Tuesday, which lead to a derailment and fuel leak, according to charges.

      Brooklyn-born Fauci bleeds Pinstripes
      Michael Gwizdala·10 hours ago
      BRONX, N.Y. — During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci has been a comforting and reassuring source of information. Much like his fellow Brooklynite, Joe Torre, Fauci exhibits that calming influence, also with a boss that isn’t afraid to voice his opinions, shall we say.

      In a recent appearance with Desus & Mero on Showtime, Fauci dropped a nugget about his baseball fandom. It turns out the Brooklyn native did not grow up rooting for Dem Bums but rather the Bronx Bombers.

      “I am,” Dr. Fauci said when asked if he was still a New York Yankees fan.

      “People don’t understand that I grew up in Brooklyn and half of Brooklyn was a Yankee fan and the other half were Dodger fans,” Dr. Fauci explained. “The rest of the world doesn’t understand how you could live in Brooklyn and be a Yankee fan but I was a Yankee fan.”

      On his favorite Yankee memory, Dr. Fauci spoke about his childhood idol, Mickey Mantle.

      “I was an amazing fan of Mickey Mantle when he first came up, remember he was like 18-years-old when he came up and just the idea as a child I used to play baseball back then to have a hero like that that you could emulate and feel like you wanted to be,” Dr. Fauci said.

      Dr. Fauci also went on to describe a dinner chat he had with legendary Yankees catcher Yogi Berra.

      “My greatest post-Yankee experience was meeting and having dinner with Yogi Berra. What a great man,” Dr. Fauci said.

      “He was a pretty serious guy, the thing we spoke about was how he would often hit pitches out of the box and how it would frustrate pitchers who would try to keep the ball away from him and he would slam it because it was like off on the lefthand corner of the plate. He loved that, he just loved that,” Dr. Fauci added of the notorious bad ball hitter.

      Pretty cool stuff.

      Whenever baseball returns, I nominate Dr. Fauci to throw out the first pitch.

        Dad hid coronavirus symptoms to visit maternity ward after wife gave birth

        A man who had been exposed to the coronavirus and who was himself feeling sick hid his symptoms from staff at Strong Memorial Hospital so he could join his expectant wife in the maternity center.

        He confessed only when his wife began to show symptoms of COVID-19 shortly after giving birth.

        The incident, which occurred in the last week, is a fresh example of the need for extreme caution — and honesty — when it comes to the highly communicable virus.
        This is worthy of divorce. What a jackass. Reckless endangerment.

            6.65 million in one week...that's 1 in 50 Americans, not just working age people.

                  Did you know 50% of low income families have ZERO books at home? So scary.

                  So I came up with an idea.

                  I'm organizing an effort to give out kids' books with the free meals families pick up each morning.

                    The advice that everyone should wear masks is great, but there are no masks. Make your own, it's so easy! Yeah, if you have a sewing machine, or even a needle and thread, and you can sew. I never learned to sew, and have never needed to. Even the simple designs involve considerable stitching that's at least competent. I'll give it a try, but I don't expect it to be of any use.

                      I have a few that they gave me after my transplant. But yes overall great idea if you can get one that is.

                        When I go back to work on Monday, I’m going to be fitted for an N95 mask, but that won’t help me anywhere else.

                          I read some medical advice on this. Let me see if I can find it.

                          Ah. Here it is.

                          “It doesn’t have to be a mask. It can be a scarf,” Trump said. “What I do see people doing here is using scarves. And I think in a certain way, depending on the fabric, I think in a certain way, a scarf is better, it’s actually better.”
                          "In many ways, a scarf is better. It's thicker," he said.
                          Hope that helps.

                            I actually don’t wear scarves. I do have tenugui (https://www.tofugu.com/japan/tenugui/), but they’re pretty thin. I’m sure Trump would say they’re fine.

                              On Thursday, though, the huge white vessel, which officials had promised would bring succor to a city on the brink, sat mostly empty, infuriating local hospital executives. The ship’s 1,000 beds are largely unused, its 1,200-member crew mostly idle.

                              Only three patients had been transferred to the ship, officials said, even as New York hospitals struggled to find space for the thousands infected with the coronavirus. Another Navy hospital ship, the U.S.N.S. Mercy, docked in Los Angeles, has had a total of 15 patients, officials said.
                              A tangle of military protocols and bureaucratic hurdles has prevented the Comfort from accepting many patients at all.

                              On top of its strict rules preventing people infected with the virus from coming on board, the Navy is also refusing to treat a host of other conditions. Guidelines disseminated to hospitals included a list of 49 medical conditions that would exclude a patient from admittance to the ship.

                              Ambulances cannot take patients directly to the Comfort; they must first deliver patients to a city hospital for a lengthy evaluation — including a test for the virus — and then pick them up again for transport to the ship.

                                And you told me to donate the N95 I found in my workshop. Glad I ignored you. Now wearing a P95 I found, which does everything the N95 does but lasts 40x longer...except, I have no where to go.
