You are an evil man (actually both of you) and have blood on your hands. Spinning your endless lies as the country looks for leadership and lifesaving help. How in hell has our country sunk to this level?


^5 my brother They have no regard for human lives. I said it before and I'll say it again . TRUMP HATES US. He loves himself and money. His recent treatment of a first class SCIENTIST Dr. Fauci has made the world sick. The whole world respects Dr. Fauci . Trump is making this pandemic political and its science.

I live in WA state and hadn't heard anything about it until today but in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Inslee has declared a state of emergency for all counties in Washington state. This allows DSHS to issue benefits under the Disaster Cash Assistance Program to families and individuals who wouldn’t normally be eligible for cash benefits. This link leads to a page giving more information about the program -

Surgeon General Doubles Down: Masks Increase Virus Risk

Surgeon General Jerome Adams Tuesday doubled down on his advice against healthy people wearing face masks to protect themselves from coronavirus, saying that wearing one improperly can "actually increase your risk" of getting the disease.

"What the World Health Organization and the CDC have reaffirmed in the last few days is that they do not recommend the general public wear masks," Adams told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "There was a study in 2015 looking at medical students. And medical students wearing surgical masks touch their faces on average 23 times. We know a major way that you can get respiratory diseases like coronavirus is by touching a surface and then touching your face."

Masks also can give the wearer a "false sense of security" and can encourage people to be too close to each other, said Adams, and further, there are still mask shortages nationwide.

People who are sick should wear masks, said Adams, but acknowledged that if healthy people feel better by wearing a mask, "by all means, wear it" but they should not touch their faces.

He also insisted the general public should not wear medical-style N95 masks, because they must be fitted properly to avoid infection.

"There may be a day where we change our recommendation, particularly for areas that have large spread going on, about wearing cotton masks but again the data is not there yet," said Adams.

new findings that the spread goes even further ~ WASH your masks ! as individuals we need to have several masks if and when you go out. CNN today had a lot of very important NEW distance measures we need to abide by. we can't depend on the WH for help we need to help ourselves.

He changed his stance in April.

What's True

In public statements in early 2020, the surgeon general had recommended against the general public buying or wearing masks.
What's False

However, in light of new evidence from the CDC, he changed his views and has since argued in favor of people wearing cloth facial coverings in public settings.

Default Vit D and how it helps boost your immune system

So, back last winter in February, I was due to have my Rx prescription of Vit D renewed and the pharmacist could not renew my prescription because there was a shortage of my specific prescription strength of Vit D. The pharmacy call me yesterday, to let me know I finally had my prescription filled.

But, interestingly, I came across an article today, which speaks about the little known fact that Vit D (not the kind you ordinarily get by exposure to the sun or consumption of vegetables or other foods enriched with Vit D) is sort of known for its elemental ability to assist the body's immune system. Which scientists in Ireland, just recently released a study which took data from a wide span of years, from different health data bases, and discovered that Vit D is a critical player in not only boosting your bodies' immune system, but helps in critical ways if by fending off viruses, such as the Sars-2-Covid 19 virus.

I found the article very interesting and will leave a link below, for those of you interested in learning what these scientists learned about Vit D. The study was published... Yesterday, on May 13th, 2020.

Oh I think I need to slow down I read that as VD and how it helps your immune system. What the...? Well that doesn't make any sense. So a little less quickly I read it again. Oh now that does make sense. Then it occured to me, wait they don't even call it VD anymore. Damn I'm old. Okay that's it, back to speed reading for me.

Donald Trump Promises Caution For His, Pence's Health So Nancy Pelosi Doesn't Serve As President


Donald Trump has reportedly implemented some additional precautions in the White House, including asking staffers to start wearing masks. Now he says that he and Vice President Mike Pence will take extra care not to catch the virus, after seeing a tweet explaining that Nancy Pelosi would be third in line to serve as President in the event that COVID-19 (or anything else) forced a succession.

A Just The News piece tweeted Monday afternoon garnered a response from President Trump. The article lays out the lines of presidential succession under current law. In short, if Trump and Pence were both rendered unable to serve, the next person in line to fill the role until a new election would be Nancy Pelosi. Trump is no fan of Pelosi, who he has called crazy and nervous, saying “there’s something wrong with her upstairs”, accusing her of staging impeachment as a hoax, and generally implying she’s anti-American, incompetent, and engaging in dirty politics.

A tweet of the article explaining how presidential succession works must have caught Trump’s eye Tuesday morning, because he retweeted it, along with a response promising to protect his health to avoid an eventuality in which Pelosi held presidential power.

The amount of activity at the White House makes transmission a high risk, if precautions aren’t being taken. Though everyone who comes into contact with Trump is tested for SARS-CoV-2, the rapid tests that give results in minutes instead of days have a high rate of false negatives. With implementation of masks, Trump appears to be taking more care regarding the health of White House occupants. With Nancy Pelosi’s hypothetical occupation of the White House dangled before him, though, he’s now offered a public promise to be very careful indeed.

--------------------------------------------------

*Say what?! 3 1/2 years squatting in the WH and he does not understand the line of succession? My God! He is even dumber than realized. What? the shit gibbon thought Jarvanka would take over? Please please please continue to not wear masks. "There there donny, it's just a wittle cold."

I have to say FSF that anytime I see your governor on TV, I am impressed. He seems to be doing everything he can to help his citizens. He is smart and articulate and does not bow down to Trump and his idiots.... "Hi, I'm Mike Pence! "Hi, I'm Mike Pompeo! Hi, I'm Jared Kushner!
