Listener, how exciting that HCR liked your comment! Good news about the kitty sitter and, especially, that W.A.'s blood pressure appears to be on the mend.
Cat is back! I wasn't feeling well yesterday, dizziness and a leg so sore it made me cry to stand on it and, essentially, made walking impossible. So I spent the day resting, rubbing Blue Emu salve into the offending leg muscle and occasionally taking Advil. It all must have worked, because the leg is back to normal today. Head also feeling somewhat better. Sorry for not checking in, but it's just too difficult to post here on my phone.
So glad you're feeling better!!! My right leg hurt yesterday, too...enough that I looked up what to watch for if you might have Depp Vein Thrombosis (which my older sister has had). But Im fine today and we figure it had something to do with getting from the dinghy onto the boat and back and onto the dock, etc..
TJ Brown gathered together these quotes to illustrate that Dr. Fauci was never the problem.
No it was Trump Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” — Trump in a CNBC interview.
Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” — Trump in a speech in Michigan.
Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” — Trump at the White House. (See our item “Will the New Coronavirus ‘Go Away’ in April?“)
Feb. 14: “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet. But that’s around the corner.” — Trump in speaking to National Border Patrol Council members.
Feb. 23: “We have it very much under control in this country.” — Trump in speaking to reporters.
Feb. 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” — Trump in a tweet.
Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.” — Trump at a White House briefing.
Feb. 26: “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” — Trump at a press conference.
Feb. 26: “I think every aspect of our society should be prepared. I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.” — Trump at a press conference, when asked if “U.S. schools should be preparing for a coronavirus spreading.”
Feb. 27: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.” — Trump at a White House meeting with African American leaders.
Feb. 29: “And I’ve gotten to know these professionals. They’re incredible. And everything is under control. I mean, they’re very, very cool. They’ve done it, and they’ve done it well. Everything is really under control.” — Trump in a speech at the CPAC conference outside Washington, D.C.
March 4: “[W]e have a very small number of people in this country [infected]. We have a big country. The biggest impact we had was when we took the 40-plus people [from a cruise ship]. … We brought them back. We immediately quarantined them. But you add that to the numbers. But if you don’t add that to the numbers, we’re talking about very small numbers in the United States.” — Trump at a White House meeting with airline CEOs.
March 4: “Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number.” — Trump in an interview on Fox News, referring to the percentage of diagnosed COVID-19 patients worldwide who had died, as reported by the World Health Organization. (See our item “Trump and the Coronavirus Death Rate.”)
March 7: “No, I’m not concerned at all. No, we’ve done a great job with it.” — Trump, when asked by reporters if he was concerned about the arrival of the coronavirus in the Washington, D.C., area.
March 9: “So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” — Trump in a tweet.
March 10: “And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” — Trump after meeting with Republican senators.
A day later, on March 11, the WHO declared the global outbreak a pandemic.
Just saw a news story saying that we now have salmonella to be concerned about in addition to cyclospora. And this is because of cuts to the CDC that used to track these (and 6 other) bacterias by the interagency system called Food.net. There's a new rule that would require food sources to keep delivery records to enable tracking. But the DT Admin's FDA pushed that rule off until 2028 ... right around the time that Taylor Foods' parent company donated a million dollars to DT's superpac. And with the CDC cuts, states are getting less funding which means less money for epidemiologists and contract tracers.
Yesterday was the first time I had heard the term "tech neck." It seems that people who spend most of their time in front of a screen can get a sore, stiff neck from tilting their head forward. I've had a sore, stiff neck for months; attributed it to the way I sleep. Tech neck can also produce headaches. Mine are mild and brief but it is a relief to know they aren't from my blood pressure.
Should have known there was a word for that. I'm glad your symptoms are mild, W.A. Hope you can keep them that way. My tech neck is chronic, persistant and occasionally debilitating. Move and stretch your neck and shoulders too as much as possible. Don't stay stuck in the same position for long periods.
Notes on the last thread!! 😃

Love the reminder posted here. I was just telling someone about the cat purr frequency thing.
ReplyDeleteI read it over several times per week. We need this reminder in these times that try the soul.
