Want to know how dangerously incompetent and treasonous this "president" is?

The nuclear aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt has an uncontrolled outbreak of coronavirus and 4000 sailors are getting sick.

The ship's captain had to go public with his pleas to get the entire crew quarantined on land, because the Trump Administration is doing absolutely fucking nothing.

Any US nuclear aircraft carrier is a central and necessary part of our national defense. Let alone the hundreds of thousands of lives Trump is threatening here in America, Trump's incompetence and inhumanity is putting our nation's security at risk.

They can't quarantine or isolate on board. They're jammed in face to face, and it is inevitable they will all get infected. Every single one.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans used to at least pretend to give a fuck about the US military. Those days are long gone.

I did something today to combat my anger and terror regarding the coronavirus.

I've lost weight. My heart has been thumping. I stand, and I almost faint.

My breathing is good. I don't have a fever. I'm not infected (yet). I'm just panicked.

I've been this way for weeks.

I can't change how the world works. I can't fix stupid. I can't help the world, except by speaking. Yet staying informed is harming me, and my health is suffering even though I'm isolating and I'm healthy and I still have a job.

I did something about it today.

My doctor said anxiety meds take 2-3 weeks to help. I need to do something before that.

I did.

Here's something you may not know.

Music is magic.

It really is. It's magic.

It has limited powers. But those powers are real.

Let me explain.

If we double the confirmed cases every 2-3 days:
Mar 11 - 1,000
Mar 14 - 2,000
Mar 16 - 4,000
Mar 19 - 8,000
Mar 21 - 16,000
Mar 24 - 32,000
Mar 26 - 64,000
Mar 29 - 128,000
Mar 31 - 256,000
Apr 2 - 512,000
Apr 5 - 1,000,000
Apr 7 - 2,000,000
Apr 10 - 4,000,000

Apr 12 - 8,000,000
Apr 15 - 16,000,000
Apr 17 - 32,000,000
Apr 20 - 64,000,000
Apr 22 - 128,000,000
Apr 25 - everyone in America

Interstate commerce will collapse long before we get to the end there.

At some point (probably around Apr 1), the rate of doubling will slow, because people will not be travelling outside of their communities and everyone around them will already have been infected.

I was reminded of a known psychological syndrome that explains what we see in today's Republican Party. It's the same thing that happened to Nazis. It happens sometimes in war, and it is common among the ruling class in most authoritarian regimes.

1/12
Once one's acts have gone beyond a certain point of inhumanity, it's necessary to keep going lest the realization takes hold that one has become a monster. Each act of depravity demands another that is worse still, to justify the previous one.

That's why there's no bottom.

2/12
Once locked into this cycle of self-reinforcing cruelty and sociopathy, the descent cannot be stopped. It ends only in self-immolation or in violent suppression by an outside force.

The cycle can be triggered within a single isolated person, or a mob-mentality group.

हमारे शरीर में जब वायरस को लगता है शरीर उसके किसी काम का नहीं रहा तब वो दूसरा स्वस्थ्य शरीर ढूंढने लगता है.इस प्रक्रिया को कहते हैं शेडिंग. #CoronaVirus अपने symptoms दिखाने से पहले भी shedding कर सकता है.यानी symptom न दिखने पर संपर्क में आया व्यक्ति संक्रमित हो सकता है (1/7)
#CoronaVirus के संक्रमण को symptom में बदलने में 14 दिन का समय लगता है. लेकिन symptom दिखने के भी 20 दिन बाद तक ये वायरस शरीर में रह सकता है. यानी किसी के स्वस्थ्य हो जाने के बावजूद वायरस शरीर में हो ऐसा हो सकता है. (2/7)
#CoronaVirus से ज्यादा जानलेवा बीमारी थी #MERS पर वो #Pandemic क्यों नहीं बन पाई? क्योंकि MERS में वायरस हमारे RESPIRATORY TRACT में काफी नीचे जाकर बस जाता है. लेकिन #COVID19 ऊपरी हिस्से में ही रह जाता है जो खांसी या छींक के जरिए जल्दी बाहर निकलकर फैलने लगता है (3/7)
