"Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, says the United States is facing a "concerted challenge" to navigate the resurgent Covid-19 outbreak — but if Americans band together, the nation can avert another extended shutdown." We're screwed.
"A man with Covid-19 went to church in mid-June, then 91 other people got sick, including 53 who were at the service, according to Ohio's governor." How viruses spread.
"As schools across the country grapple with bringing kids back into the classroom, parents — and teachers — are worried about safety. We asked pediatricians, infectious disease specialists and education experts for help evaluating school district plans." And you know what I see, they'll need to spend money they don't have. Also I see plans being made for the best possible scenario… which will fall apart once it rains, get's cold, people remember that children get sunburnt, etc. As for making sure "sick kids stay home," raise your hand if you were in a house where the rule was, "if you're not throwing up, you're well enough to go to school."
"Chicago Public Schools, the nation's third-largest school system, will start the coming school year with fully remote learning for all students due to the coronavirus pandemic, the district announced Wednesday."
"The legal marijuana industry has spent years battling illegal sellers who have eaten away at its market share and undercut its prices… But the coronavirus has proven to be a boon for legal pot shops, as customers fear the risks associated with inhaling questionable products and are nervous about letting sellers into their homes."
"Dr. Anthony Fauci said he and his family have required continued security in the face of harassment and death threats from people angry over his guidance on the coronavirus pandemic." Trolls just aren't online. The Dear Leader must not be corrected.
The state of healthcare in Ohio. "It appears that Ashtabula County may be without a place for expectant mothers to give birth for some time, as University Hospitals does not plans to offer labor and delivery services at its two county facilities." Ashtabula County is the largest county in Ohio.
"That said, another 1.2 million Americans filed for initial jobless benefits in the week ending August 1 on a seasonally adjusted basis, the Department of Labor reported on Thursday. That was down from the prior week's 1.4 million claims." Remember when 200,000 new claims was considered a disaster?
Meanwhile, on Bullshit Mountain… "Over 1.18M Americans filed for unemployment last week, lowest level since pandemic began."
"As Lebanon's investigation into the devastating blast in Beirut continues, officials have pointed to a possible cause: A massive shipment of agricultural fertilizer that authorities say was stored in the port of Beirut without safety precautions for years -- despite warnings by local officials."
"White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows defended President Donald Trump's description of a deadly explosion in Beirut as an 'attack,' dismissing Defense Secretary Mark Esper's earlier comments that most officials believe the incident was 'an accident.'" The Dear Leader must not be wrong.
"Three people accused of hanging LGBT rainbow flags off statues in Warsaw have been arrested and charged… Polish police charged them with desecrating monuments and offending religious feelings."
"Former US First Lady Michelle Obama has said she is suffering from 'low-grade depression' because of the pandemic, racial injustice and the 'hypocrisy' of the Trump administration." So say we all.
"Three teenagers fleeing police while carrying a semiautomatic gun in a backpack jumped a wall at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, but probably didn't know that's where they were, authorities said Wednesday. Palm Beach Police spokesman Michael Ogrodnick said the 15-year-old boys were arrested shortly after they entered the grounds of the resort Friday and dumped the backpack, which contained a mini AK-47 with a loaded 14-round magazine." Kids these days.
"Joe Biden says that he believes prosecuting a former president would be a 'very unusual thing and probably not very ... good for democracy,' but he would not stand in the way of a future Justice Department pursuing criminal charges against President Trump after he leaves office." We're going to hold you to that.
"President Donald Trump's barrage of challenges to the reputation, structures and traditions of elections is conjuring up a contentious and potentially constitutionally critical three-month period for America's democracy." Again, it's about casting doubt.
"Donald Trump's team is requesting a fourth presidential debate against former Vice President Joe Biden be added in early September, arguing that a number of states will have already begun sending mail-in ballots to voters before the first scheduled debate." Someone is feeling a little anxious about their prospects.
"Twitter said on Wednesday it had restricted President Donald Trump's campaign from tweeting after its account shared a video containing false claims about the coronavirus." Finally.
