Health Editor’s Note: What good are adequate person protection supplies when you have no one to wear or use them? Patients are being transferred to hospitals, far away from the place of their diagnosis, to be taken care of. Hospitals are running out of healthy, non-COVID-19 infected staff. For instance, in Texas ICU nurses typically only take care of 2 patients but are now being pushed to care for 6 to 8 as staff numbers decline due to being ill with COVID-19. At least 25 states are having shortages of healthcare workers. Is your state on this list? More states will join this group.
How can you help? Practice all the measures to not contract COVID19. Wear masks over nose and mouth when in buildings and around others you do not live with, stay at least 6 or more feet away from another person, avoid groups of any size, do not leave your home if you are ill, wash those hands before touching your face, nose, mouth, eyes, and keep washing them, avoid being around anyone who is sick, avoid areas with poor ventilation, do not host a Thanksgiving meal or go to someone else’s house.

Grift all day but you lost and you’re done
Just another scam
A Trumpian circus kickin’ Uncle Sam
An I don’t wanna play
Cause your Panem and Circus is not okay
Sore Loser, Can’t you see the scoreboard
Sore Loser, Oh you’re such a friggin maggot
Sore Loser, You lost now get out
You’re the one to blame
And you a member of the hall of shame
So get off my lawn
Pack your bags you lost get gone
You lost fair and square
But you pout like a child and you don’t care
Because it’s all about you
It does not matter who you screw ya screw
Sore Loser, What the hell is wrong with you
Sore Loser, Don’t you have something better to do
Sore Loser, Go away you psychopath
Biden Won, You Lost
Biden Won, You Lost
Sore Loser

“TEDROS IS A CRIMINAL”. Ethiopia’s Army Blames WHO Boss who denies supplying Weapons to TPLF Communist-Islamic rebels. Al Qaeda Spectre in Horn of Africa

veteranstoday--2020-11-20--Some Americans are Narcissistic Babies

Some Americans are Narcissistic Babies

Health Editor ’ s Note : The title is harsher than I usually use but presently America is in very dire straits as the COVID-19 pandemic marches on and some Americans still are not taking COVID-19 seriously .
We are up to almost 2,000 deaths per day…New Zealand has a total of 25 deaths….not per day , but during the entire pandemic period .
Think about the vast difference between these death numbers .
New Zealand locked down at the beginning of the pandemic and continues to remain very vigilant and willing to lockdown , quarantine , do whatever it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Other countries have also locked down and have seen far , far fewer deaths than we have experienced in the U.S. Australia , New Zealand , and other countries did not allow politics to affect any of the anti-COVID-19 measures .
No political party was allowed to blame another political faction of causing or making COVID-19 worse .
All regions , territories were on the same page and all followed sound medical and scientific protocols designed to stop the spread of this virus .
If you think that almost 2,000 deaths of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to STOP : • Wear a mask ( over both nose and mouth ) when entering any building where other people are present !
• Stay physically distanced , 6 or more feet , from anyone you do not live with .
• Wash your hands all the time .
• Never touch your face , nose , mouth , eyes without first thoroughly washing your hands .
• Do not be around anyone who is ill. • Do not leave your home if you are ill. • Stay away from groups of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family members who do not live in your house together for any reason and help to save their lives .
Giving up the family Thanksgiving meal this year , will help to insure that you will be able to be with these people in years to come .
Christmas celebrations may also have to be shelved for 2020 .
• Stop complaining that your ‘ civil rights ’ are being attacked because it is not your civil right to give COVID-19 to others .
Stop the protests because these group gatherings , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distanced , spewing aerosolized coronavirus into the air , only give COVID-19 easier chances to claim humans .
‘ Peaceful ’ protests also bring people together and increase the spread of the virus .
• Do go outside and walk , walk the dog or dogs , run , jog , bike , swim and recharge while staying physically distanced from others .
• Do stay in touch with others by phone , text , computer , Zoom , Facetime , etc .
• Do always remember that coronavirus is real , very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and can be beat if we just do not give it humans to use to make more of itself .
• Starve the novel coronavirus , COVID-19 by staying away from any situation where you could encounter it .
The life you save may be your own , your child ’ s , your parent ’ s , your friends ’ , or your grandma ’ s .
That is worth any effort….right ?
?
?
If you think quarantine needs a better publicist in the United States , you might be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strict lockdown and so did Italians .
So did the residents of China , Spain , Bolivia , Morocco and South Korea .
The idea of isolating for a stretch of two weeks either because you ’ ve been exposed to Covid-19 or are traveling from a Covid-19 hotspot , however , can feel like a punishment to Americans , not a long-standing infectious disease prevention policy .
It might feel the same way to thousands of Germans : Demonstrators gathered near Berlin ’ s Brandenburg Gate Wednesday to protest an ongoing nationwide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ earlier told CNN .
When the crowds didn ’ t disperse , police used water cannons to move protestors away from the area , Berlin police said .
Whether or not the US ever imposes a nationwide lockdown , the fact is that with over 100,000 US cases confirmed daily , we ’ re going to have to get used to the idea of quarantining .
As that number inches up to 200,000 daily cases , the reality is that we ’ re about to experience an even more difficult time with this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s puzzling to residents of other regions around the world that have successfully gone into lockdown — and are heading into lockdown again without much debate .

Health Editor’s Note: The title is harsher than I usually use but presently America is in very dire straits as the COVID-19 pandemic marches on and some Americans still are not taking COVID-19 seriously.

veteranstoday--2020-11-21--Israel: Trump-Pompeo Pathetic Losers in Failed Power Grab over Michigan

Times of Israel/Tel Aviv — US President Donald Trump sought to leverage the power of the Oval Office on Friday in an extraordinary attempt to block President-elect Joe Biden ’ s victory , but his pleas to Michigan lawmakers to overturn the will of their constituents appeared to have left them unswayed .
Trump summoned a delegation of the battleground state ’ s Republican leadership , including the state ’ s Senate majority leader and House speaker , in an apparent extension of his efforts to persuade judges and election officials in the state to set aside Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state ’ s electors .
It came amid mounting criticism that Trump ’ s futile efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election could do long-lasting damage to democratic traditions .

Times of Israel/Tel Aviv — US President Donald Trump sought to leverage the power of the Oval Office on Friday in an extraordinary attempt to block President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, but his pleas to Michigan lawmakers to overturn the will of their constituents appeared to have left them unswayed.
Trump summoned a delegation of the battleground state’s Republican leadership, including the state’s Senate majority leader and House speaker, in an apparent extension of his efforts to persuade judges and election officials in the state to set aside Biden’s 154,000-vote margin of victory and grant Trump the state’s electors. It came amid mounting criticism that Trump’s futile efforts to subvert the results of the 2020 election could do long-lasting damage to democratic traditions.
Trump’s efforts extended to other states that Biden carried as well, amounting to an unprecedented attempt by a sitting president to maintain his grasp on power, or to delegitimize his opponent’s victory in the eyes of his army of supporters if he fails.
Rick Hasen, an election law expert and professor who has been meticulously chronicling the 2020 race, wrote that there would be “rioting” in the streets if an effort was made to set aside the vote in Michigan, calling it tantamount to an attempted coup.
“We should worry because this is profoundly antidemocratic and is delegitimizing the victory of Joe Biden in a free and fair election,” Hasen wrote on his blog. “It is profoundly depressing we still have to discuss this. But it is extremely unlikely to lead to any different result for president.”
Seeking a cure for COVID
In a joint statement after the White House meeting, Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield said allegations of fraud should be investigated, but indicated they were unmoved by Trump’s claims thus far.
“We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan and as legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan’s electors, just as we have said throughout this election,” they said.
Trump supporter voices concerns with respect to Michigan State Police
“The candidates who win the most votes win elections and Michigan’s electoral votes,” they added, saying they used the meeting with Trump to press him for more pandemic aid money for their state.
The president on Friday again falsely claimed victory, declaring as an aside during a White House announcement on drug pricing, “I won, by the way, but you know, we’ll find that out.” First lady unavailable for comment
Trump’s roughly hourlong meeting Friday with the Michigan legislators came days after he personally called two local canvass board officials who had refused to certify the results in Wayne County, Michigan’s most populous county and one that overwhelmingly favored Biden. The two GOP officials eventually agreed to certify the results. But following Trump’s call, they said they had second thoughts.
The Board of State Canvassers is to meet Monday to certify the statewide outcome and it was unclear whether Republican members of that panel would similarly balk.
Some Trump allies have expressed hope that state lawmakers could intervene in selecting Republican electors, as the president and his attorneys have pushed baseless allegations of fraud that have been repeatedly rejected in courtrooms across the country. It was with that in mind that Trump invited the Michigan legislators to the White House. He was also said to be considering extending a similar invitation to lawmakers from Pennsylvania.
“The president could be calling Republican legislators and others to the White House to try and squeeze them,” tweeted former Trump national security adviser John Bolton. “Republicans at all levels — state, county, election boards, legislatures — must resist this political pressure.”
Trump lost despite ‘courting’ the younger voter
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters that the meeting with Michigan officials was “not an advocacy meeting” and insisted Trump “routinely meets with lawmakers from across the country.” But such meetings are in fact rare, particularly as Trump has maintained a low profile since the election.
As he departed Detroit for Washington on Friday morning, Shirkey was swarmed by activists bearing signs that read “Respect the Vote” and “Protect Democracy.”
Chatfield tweeted before the meeting with Trump: “No matter the party, when you have an opportunity to meet with the President of the United States, of course you take it. I won’t apologize for that.”
Trump’s effort to set aside the Michigan vote was sure to fail. Experts on Michigan election law said the Michigan Board of State Canvassers’ authority was limited in scope.
“Their duties are to receive the canvass and certify the canvass, that’s it,” said John Pirich, a former assistant attorney general who teaches at Michigan State University Law School. “They have absolutely no power to investigate allegations, theories or any half-brained kind of arguments that are being thrown around.”
The Michigan Legislature would be called on to select electors if Trump succeeded in persuading the board not to certify the results.
Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer could seek a court order forcing board members to certify the election and could remove those who refused, said Steve Liedel, another election attorney.
Trump’s play for Michigan was among a series of last-ditch tactics in battleground states that his team is using to challenge his defeat. They also have suggested in a legal challenge that Pennsylvania set aside the popular vote there and pressured county officials in Arizona to delay certifying vote tallies. There have been multiple lawsuits in battleground states that have failed so far to reverse any votes.
In two Democratic-leaning counties in Wisconsin that are recounting votes, Trump’s campaign sought to discard tens of thousands of absentee ballots that it alleged should not have been counted.
The objections were twice denied by the three-member Dane County Board of Canvassers on bipartisan votes. Trump was expected to make the same objections in Milwaukee County ahead of a court challenge once the recount concludes.
Former Bush administration official Christine Todd Whitman called Trump’s efforts “the actions of a third-world dictator. It is not who we are as Americans, and we do not want the public coming away from this thinking this is the norm. There is no basis for trying to overturn this.”

In Georgia, where a hand audit found Biden had still won, Governor Brian Kemp said a court order made it so he had to certify the results. But he suggested Trump demand a recount and wanted answers to the alleged “irregularities.”

Biden legal adviser Bob Bauer said Trump’s efforts were harmful to democracy.
“It’s an abuse of office,” he said. “It’s an open attempt to intimidate election officials, it’s absolutely appalling… It’s also pathetic.”

Those Republicans in Congress who defended the Trump regime ’ s attempt to disenfranchise voters as “ his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that hair shirt .
Republican election top officials in both Pennsylvania and Georgia , and their families , are now under special police protection .
This attempted ‘ Trump Steal ’ could only happen under an Attorney General like William Barr , because the perpetrators feared no conspiracy charge risks .

Rudy in drag…a complicated person
First published … November 21, 2020
A federal judge has tossed out a lawsuit President Donald Trump’s campaign brought seeking to block the certification of the presidential election results in Pennsylvania.
The judge’s withering opinion dismissing the case said the suit, which Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani turned up to argue in a small Pennsylvania city this week, was both legally flawed and lacking in evidence.
“This Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by evidence,” U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann wrote.

The results of these ongoing studies are very promising and give great hope that we will have a vaccine that will help to deliver a huge blow to the COVID-19 pandemic. While Moderna cannot seek emergency use authorization from the FDA until November 25, Pfizer/bioNTech has already sought approval on November 20. Both drug companies are using messenger RNA (mRNA) which will be the first time mRNA vaccines have been made.

We have over a quarter of a million people dead as this virus surges and creates almost 200,000 new cases per day and now over 2,000 deaths per day in the U.S. alone.
The use of mRNA is not new, but is new to making vaccines. mRNA was discovered in 1961 but RNA therapies using mRNA did not start to be developed until the 1990s. RNA therapies that use mRNA have been used to develop personalized cancer treatments and therapies for other diseases.
