Much ink has been spilled to more than amply demonstrate that, when it came to the threat of the novel coronavirus, the Trump administration ignored its own intelligence, its own CDC, and the urgent warnings of the medical community, from as early as January and well into February of this year. New York University professor Ryan Goodman and NYU student Danielle Schulkin conclude, in an op-ed in the The New York Times, that the administration’s actions went well beyond mere “negligence” and trying to “wish” the pandemic away. Rather, for a five-day period in late February and early March, Donald Trump and his team of “very best people” engaged in a deliberate and malicious cover-up of the seriousness of COVID-19—for the sole purpose of intentionally misleading the American people.
I’m not going back out in the world until there’s a vaccine.
I read this last night and it kept me up
Reblogging because of the very important info at the end of the article - if you experience symptoms of a stroke, seek help IMMEDIATELY because even large strokes are treatable, but time is of the essence.
I just grabbed this from Google because the article didn’t have any easy info on stroke identification. Remember the basics:
F- face, is it under control?
A - arms, can you raise them both at the same time?
S - speech, can you talk or are you slurring?
T - time is of the essence, go to a hospital IMMEDIATELY
This is scary stuff. Stay informed lovelies.
Hey I know this is terrifying stuff to read, but I feel obligated to pass it on. My father (61) had a stroke this year.
Like most medical things, symptoms present differently in AFAB people than AMAB people, so please be aware of this.
A stroke is scary, and it’s super important you go to the ER if you think you had one or are experiencing symptoms related to a stroke. Also, fun fact, sometimes panic attacks can feel a LOT like stroke symptoms so please consider that as well. The only reason my dad is alive is because he went to the ER both of the times he had a stroke and he took it seriously. Please take your health seriously, too.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
