Even though my first call of the day was at 6:00 and I was on the phone none stop for the first four hours of the day, I felt much better for most of the day. Only now is the queasiness back.
Just as I was about to head to the pool where ME were to meet for our shared lane this afternoon, she texted me to say she had dislocated her knee; yet again. It is the second time in ten days and seems to happen when she gets up. Last time she was with a friend to whom this happens regularly and who managed to pop the knee back in for EM, so that is where she went today and again J. pop the joint back in and even taped it. However, it had me worried enough to immediately call the orthopedic surgeon who had treated me for my rotator cuff tendonitis earlier in the year and I secured an appointment for tomorrow morning.
Of course, this coincides with a meeting at which I am scheduled to present. Not ideal, but the plan is to head to the practice early and then take the call from the car while she is up with the doctor. Hopefully it will be done by the time it is her turn.
Just before heading to practice in the park tonight I had training on a new phone back system so I can resume calling voters in Florida, encouraging them to vote for Vice President Joe Biden. I must say, I do not like the new system much as there are several clicks one has to go through while on the phone and neither the navigation nor the prompts are intuitive. Given all that is going on in this country I feel it is even more important to remove the Joker from the WH.
The WH is increasingly becoming a problem in the pandemic as the spread continues (7.7 million infected reported in the USA today and 35.7 million globally) and numbers are on the rise in the USA. While there is an increase in the seven day average in 34 states, the Moron in chief not only downplays the virus, but has returned to the WH where his first act was to take of his mask even though staff was present. He is trying to do his best it seems to infect as many WH staff as he can. Everyone else isolates in a room or suite to protect others, not this one. On the contrary, he advises people to “not let the virus dominate their lives”. How crazy is that? I wonder how the 215.000 dead and their families feel about such a statement. We have all been working from home for 209 days, schools have been all virtual for the same number of days; how is that not dominating our lives?
It seems the WH continues its battle on science, having today tried to block FDA guidelines for licensing a potential emergency use of a vaccine, if and when, it may become available in a push to have a vaccine to market prior to the elections. Tried and tested or not. This is absolutely reckless and will undermine any trust in a vaccine. If there are shots to be had, I most certainly will not get one in the USA! The battle was won by the FDA, so one point for them.
This has not stopped the WH from coming up with an even crazy scheme: that the president go to a town hall in Miami and debate with Joe Biden IN PERSON next week. That is complete insanity as the chances are extremly hight that the Coviditi in chief will still be infectuous. The Biden campaign is playing nice saying Vice President Joe Biden will come, if science says it is safe. Well with the WH track record of lying, who will believe anything that comes from there on safety? If the Covidiot insists and comes I suggest to keep him in a plexiglass glass cage so he cannot spout his aerosols.
At least there is resistance forming in Miami. I wonder if the mayor can prevent the Covidiot in chief from coming to Miami? The only other potential way to keep people safe would be a relapse. Experts consider this a very real possibility, I must say I sort of like the idea as long as the Covidiot remains alive.
Coincidentally all the great drugs he received and touted as developed in recent months in America were in fact developed under the Obama administration in response to the Ebola pandemic. Likewise, millions of Americans do not have health insurance. And no one has access to the kind of medical care he received. All pay for with taxes he has not contributed too. One course of Remisdevir costs more than his total Federal tax payments in 2017.
Today the WH also reported that the Joined Chief of staff has also tested positive; not that this is in any way effecting the the political elite of the GOP who continues as if the Virus did not exist.
It is astounding.
