“Opioid Czar” is actually on Baron’s to-do list, right after his social studies homework.

WTF is wrong with people? Don’t they know that “pandemic” and “international crisis” are just other ways of saying “opportunity”?

Whatever she’s on, Conway’s got the ‘white stuff’ to serve up Herr Leader exactly what he demands.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she has intimate knowledge of opioid usage.

I thought Kellyanne was the Opiod Czar.

At every stage of this whole coronavirus response, I’m being given new reasons to say to myself “we’re super fucked, aren’t we?”

Is Jared done with the opioid epidemic and the middle east unpleasantness already?  I’m so glad he’s on top of this pandemic and those other minor issues...

You would be fired from your job if you handled anything at all this way. It’s NOT off-limits to solicit the views and recommendations of ER professionals on the ground, who are dealing with this. It is abundantly idiotic to do so selectively (who am I related to? who do I play golf with?) and without having someone…

There’s something I find remarkable about my own capacity, even three-plus years in, to underestimate the absolute reckless incompetence of this administration.

While this comes as no particular surprise, kudos to Dr. Kloss for exposing the ineptitude from his family-adjacent perspective.

I agree completely, and here is my proposal:

The 13th Amendment to the Constitution says there’s literally no difference

what is the issue with some work time as well - for which they should be paid commensurate with hours worked and task given

It’s literally slave labor man. Just because it’s ubiquitous doesn’t make it alright. 

That seasonal flu is something that our bodies are “used to” but this is a new, entirely foreign virus that we don’t know much about so we need to be very careful. 

But...of course they could use it.  What are you talking about?  That prisoners *could* drink it (???) does not inevitably lead to the conclusion that it cannot possibly be made available.

Unfortunately, I see it as another example of the political/anti-science divide, in which case logic doesn’t help much.

literally just came from a meeting where my boss said “I couldn’t give a shit about the coronavirus.” I also live and work in a city with a pop of 70k, though, so who knows how concerned one should be

Tell them its not just about them. A lot of my friends are older, some with health issues. I’m trying my damnedest to avoid getting it and making sure to keep my distance from my friends.

I definitely didn’t know that prisoners would be making this from the press conference yesterday — but he explicitly said it would be available at prisons. Is that only for the guards and visitors and not the prisoners (which was the implication)?
