Always knew it was simply GOP projectionism when Palin ran around screeching in '09...now it is about to be reality in New York THIS WEEK or NEXT at the latest.

Fuck them all, and their paymasters too!

rooms in their gated mansions and hired respiratory therapists? They already cornered the market on Covid-19 tests. What's next? Secret warehouses full of food and water? Armed security?

If there aren’t enough beds and/or ventilators, patients are put on palliative care, which I assume would ultimately mean heavy drugs if non-mechanical oxygen is not enough.

The plan discusses ways to ration the beds/ventilators — young, folks likely to survive, etc., first, even a lottery if necessary.

I think if it comes to that, I’ll likely just say give me the drugs.
