OFFS: a shutdown ends my malaria prophylaxis, apparently

[Recursion]

Come on, people. I understand you have to stop paying me, but at least let me keep getting weird acid trip dreams off these wonderful, wonderful pills...

1. Bummer.

Hope you don't have any episodes.

[elleng]

2. Oh, right, y'all out there representing us,

and helping us travel and do business, are subjected to the repugs' b.s. too.
As to the prophylaxis, that part is definitely WRONG! On what basis would it be ended???

[Recursion]

3. The unclassified diplomatic pouch gets shut down

and that's how the drugs get from point A to point B.

The health unit itself will still be active, but they'll have to preserve their prophylaxis for imminent cases, apparently.

It's especially silly because consulates are net revenue generators, not costs (visa applications pay for the entire consulate).

[elleng]

4. Darn.

Be well!

6. That explains why they'll take visa apps during a shutdown

Even though they can't be processed. $.

Let's hope a shutdown will be as brief as expected if not averted.

5. The U.S.A. Congress is full of morons and corrupt multi-millionaire sociopathic rat bastards.

Hang in there.

7. I'll ship ya a handful of plaquenil if you think it'd help

I'm on 2 a day everyday, but I can find a few in the sofa cushions for you
