One of the pro lacrosse guys has a side biz that makes custom uniforms and apparel. He’s obviously not making many uniforms these days so he retooled to make items for health care, not the least of which is masks.

He tweeted over the weekend that he got an email from one of the NY hospitals asking if he could retool for body bags. “Pretty sobering, to say the least,” was his statement that followed.

I hope that Boris Johnson recovers.

And I also hope that before he's discharged, they give him a haircut with something other than a chainsaw.

the only reason i hope he recovers is so that he can be ridiculed. the idiot deserves everything bad that comes his way. he'll serve as a better example by living rather than dying. who knows how many people he's responsible for infecting -- both directly through close contact and indirectly through dangerously stupid rhetoric.

Speaking of haircuts, if this lockdown thingy goes on into May I'm going to be bringing back my 80s hair. :eek:

Sweden has courageously decided not to endorse a harsh quarantine, and consequently it hasn’t forced its residents into lockdown. “The strategy in Sweden is to focus on social distancing among the known risk groups, like the elderly. We try to use evidence-based measurements,” Emma Frans, a doctor in epidemiology at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, told Euronews. “We try to adjust everyday life. The Swedish plan is to implement measurements that you can practice for a long time.”

The problem with lockdowns is that “you tire the system out,” Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s chief epidemiologist, told the Guardian. “You can’t keep a lockdown going for months — it’s impossible.” He told Britain’s Daily Mail: “We can’t kill all our services. And unemployed people are a great threat to public health. It’s a factor you need to think about.”

I think that's an approach worth exploring.

So rather than being fourth in line for some well deserved ribbing over me posting that refuted report, you're instead sticking to mocking healthcare workers.

I suppose the er entrance truther pix get stale after awhile.

P.s. clicked through to see what PJ the wise was peddling. Second retweet was the shocking presser from the president (pretty much the opposite). The others were the vast conspiracies left and right, my favorite being the autoshop mastermind who had inside info to stockpile masks.
