Dear Joe:

One of the greatest risk factors for dying of COVID in America is obesity.

Yet here you are, failing to mention its importance.

And yet again, you fail to lead the nation.
It’s not a secret, Joe:

Big is Not Beautiful.

Being Big Kills.
cnbc.com/2021/03/08/cov…
BTW, you care about black lives, Joe?

Kick your worthless VP in the ass and have her lead an effort to reduce obesity in communities of color.

They need it. We all need it.
America’s COVID response has been an unmitigated disaster, Joe.

The very thing we shouldn’t be — fat — is the very thing our government has encouraged us to be.

Millennials put on 41lbs because Govt scientists like St. Fauci told everybody to hide indoors & onto their couches.
Upshot, @JoeBiden:

If your corrupt, border crisis-causing self does nothing else for this country, for the love of God ring the bell on obesity.

We’re quite literally dying under the weight of a culture and a government gone mad.

I’m at Day 10 following COVID diagnosis.

So far, so good (though miserable).

Here’s what I learned, and what I’m glad I did to make my sickness a little less awful & lower the odds I’d end up in the hospital.
There’s growing data that people who take daily Vitamin D, Zinc, and — oddly — Pepcid may do better once infected.

My doc suggested I increase my Pepcid dosage from once to twice a day after my diagnosis.

And so I did.

I made sure I had a pulse oximeter next to my bed and, per my doc, checked my blood oxygen levels three times a day.

Any sustained measurement below 90% was an alarm to call my doc.

Pulse ox’s cost is about $40.

America’s greatest threats are 1) China & 2) the denigration of American Exceptionalism.

The China threat is clear.

The latter less so.

Let me explain.
We used to understand that American Exceptionalism was a recognition of our heroic past and an acknowledgement of the dark days that sometimes seeded it.

It was a commitment to thus learn & grow, using facts & reason to create a more perfect Union. Together.

Out of many, one.
The modern Left is waging war on that idea.

As best summarized by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, they believe that “America was never that great.”

This wasn’t a flippant statement. Theirs is a calculated stand, an unyielding attempt to reshape the national zeitgeist into hating itself.

The NYTimes is out with another Trump Russia smear, with writer @DraperRobert making a wild claim:

The Intel Community has a source that is “100 percent reliable” who says Russia wants Trump to win.

Folks, that source doesn’t exist.

Here’s why. (Thread) Image
In the world of human intelligence, no source is ever “100% reliable.”

Sources go bad. For lots of reasons.

They lose their job, but don’t want to admit it.

They become double agents.

They unknowingly share information created by a hostile service. (Aka disinformation)
The most that an intel officer will say in describing their source is an assessment of their a track record **up to a given point in time.**

That includes a history of what vetting has been done on the source AND their info.

Even then, there’s never 100% certainty. Ever.

Cancel country music & the military?

“The music,” @JM_Thompson writes, “retains a reputation as a genre made by & for white Southerners.”

The military should thus drop it from recruitment events.

I asked a USMIL recruiter — a gay Latino — for his response.

Here’s what he said Image
“That’s dumb.”

The USMIL uses different genres of music when trying to reach different recruits, he explained.

“All depends on place and market we target. At car races, we use pop and country, for example.”

“You mold to your market.”
So what does he play for prospective black or Latino recruits?

“I can play anything for that market. We do a mix of country / pop / Latin / hip hop.”

The gay Latino soldier added: “My people dance and get hyped to anything. Lol.”

There's lots of commentary that masks, social distancing, and/or sunlight don't work.

They do. Esp all three, together.

And its enough to demand that we reopen America, especially for those in working class America who can't survive the economic fallout.

Here's what we know.
Masks: They work.

Scientists have recently found that 30-40% of people who did NOT wear a mask later tested positive for coronavirus (in respiratory droplets & aerosols).

And those who DID wear a mask?

Zero tested positive for the virus.

Zero.

nature.com/articles/s4159…
Social Distancing: It works, esp w/ masks.

Per CDC, COVID-19 mainly spreads when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and droplets from their mouth or nose are launched into the air.

If people wear masks, that stops the spread.

Esp with hand washing / hand sanitizer.

The Democratic talking point of “Trump is bad because he hasn’t made more tests available” is not only wrong but misses the point.

There is no perfect test, especially an antibody test.

And interpreting results can be confusing & unhelpful.

Here are the facts.

(Thread)
Let’s focus on antibody tests.

They’re the basis for the dangerous proposal to issue “immunity passports.”

The assumption is that if you’ve been exposed, you’re immune from further infection and can go back to work or normal life.

But that idea is flat out wrong, for now.
STAT News summed up the issues nicely:

- Some available antibody tests have not even been validated.

- Even those that have been can still provide false results.

- An accurate positive test is, for now, wickedly hard to interpret.
