The Coronavirus thread

No ****... My stepdad was a young 94 and he got it while rehabbing from back surgery. It was a f'n crime that due to the Gov's restrictions nobody could visit him while in rehab....He then caught the Rona and the rehab place moved him to an isolation room without a WORKING PHONE,,,so we could not visit him, nor could we talk to him...He was asymptomatic for a week and then he started getting symptoms and was transported to the hospital...Guess what,,,the rehab place LOST his f'n hearing aid so we could not even talk to him on the phone. He died alone and unable to communicate with his family....

The cure is worse than the f'n virus...

That is heartbreaking. Unfortunately, I have heard similar stories. My 92 year old mother has not gotten a hug from a family member in almost a year.

Mom is still at home and me and my brothers and sister are working like hell to keep it that way....We were hoping they would have moved into assisted living a couple years ago, but grateful now that they didn't. Mom would no doubt be dead by now from a broken heart. Hope like heck that you all can visit your Mom soon, Hamster!

Thanks for posting that Hamster...My Dad and my Stepdad (who married my Mom after Dad passed in 02) were both Docs....My Stepdad was disgusted at the medical community's response to Covid, and my Dad who helped immunize the city of Roanoke against Polio has to be rolling over in his grave over it...It's like our healthcare system is more worried about a profit or the destruction of the country than it is for the health of the population.... F'k the bureaucracy (Swamp) running our country!! Wake Up folks...

Ivermectin is a treatment for parasites which appears to have anti-viral effects. Heartguard treatment for canine parasites apparently uses this drug. One of the main reasons listed for not using this for Covid is that parasite treatment in third world countries would be impacted. If this treatment is effective why wouldn't we try it on the most vulnerable???

When Flog tries to argue a point about pretty much anything on this board:



Hopefully this works. That's great.

Our county here in MD is about to be again. Marc Elrich is the County Executive. He ignores what the state does, and does his own thing. Sent an executive order to the Council, expecting it to be approved, closing indoor dining on the 15th. BUT they are allowing outdoor dining. WTF??? It's in the 30s here. That'll keep the restaurants open.

He's also limiting the # of people that can go into retail stores.

I'm fed up with rule by dictate. Fed ******* up.
 
Wow. So because that ****** gets Rona, he punishes everyone. **** him.

I figured this would happen, but this was without fair warning. Restaurants bought food for the weekend and now will goto waste. I wonder if my bowling league is shut down. No one said anything yet. They also just opened a casino here that will be shut down. Just crazy times

Well 2 of my cousins who live in the Burgh are flying down to Louisiana for my brother’s wedding in the 27th of this month...so unless Wolfe bans all travel, he won’t stop our family from getting together...
 
Governor Gruesome cares about Californians, their businesses, their lives....clearly. People should be ready to revolt. I'm sure the Owner of the Pineapple Saloon Bar & Grill will be overjoyed to hear this news.

Companies connected to Gov. Gavin Newsom received nearly $3 million in federal PPP loans: report
One business received seven times the average amount for a small business of in similar size


At least eight companies partially owned by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) received millions of dollars through the Paycheck Protection Program, according to a new report.

PlumpJack, a wine business Newsom started in 1992, received nearly $3 million in PPP loans, according to a report from KGO-TV. The Small Business Administration's loan program "helps businesses keep their workforce employed during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis."

PlumpJack Management Group LLC includes five restaurants and bars, four Napa Valley wineries, a ski resort, and retail establishments, according to the company. At least nine companies affiliated with the PlumpJack Group received PPP loans, the report states.

One of the companies featured in the report is Villa Encinal Partners Limited Partnership, which has 14 employees and received a loan for $918,720 on April 14, 2020, just 11 days after the lending program launched, according to SBA data. Villa Encinal Partners Limited Partnership is linked to the PlumpJack winery in Napa, according to state records.

The Small Business Administration requires companies to spend 60% of PPP loans on wages.

"Hypothetically, if divided equally, each of them would've received around $40,000 to cover their payroll over a period of three months — that would amount to an annual salary of around $160,000 per employee," KGO-TV stated.

California wineries that received more than $900,000 in PPP funding had an average of 148 employees, according to the report.

Analysis from the report found that small businesses in California with 14 employees received an average PPP loan amount of $128,000; Villa Encinal Partners LP received seven times that amount.

"It's unexpected for a 14 employee organization to get nearly $1 million," said Sean Moulton, a senior policy analyst with the nonpartisan Project on Government Oversight. "The purpose behind this program was to save entry-level jobs, people going in and working on that paycheck. That was what we put this out there for, to stop unemployment.

"It seems to be a small business but it got a lot of money," Moulton added. "I'm not sure how the company justifies taking that much money when there were a lot of companies looking to get assistance. You hope they're using it wisely because there's an opportunity cost there — that money didn't get used for another small business that may be out of business now."

Moulton, who specializes in tracking PPP funds, said the companies could have been given preferential treatment "not because the governor asked for it, but because of all the connections that exist."

In 2018, Newsom placed his ownership interests in the PlumpJack Group into a blind trust. The Democratic governor of California is listed on the PlumpJack Group website as the founder, and his sister Hilary Newsom is listed as the company's president and partner.

The PlumpJack Management Group released a statement:

Like many other companies facing extreme financial duress during the pandemic, we used loan monies to protect our workers and keep them employed. Our staff members and their loved ones have depended on these programs for their livelihoods. Gavin Newsom is not affiliated with the operation of the companies in any way. Any suggestion otherwise is unequivocally false.

Jesse Melgar, Newsom's communications director, responded by saying, "Before taking office, the Governor transferred title and control of the businesses he founded to a blind trust, a step that goes beyond anything required by law."
 

While that's hilarious (at least to me & my adolescent sense of humor), the guy on the left has unfortunately been tyrants like Newsom, Cuomo, Whitmer or Wolf - while the poor schmuck on the right has been small businesses and the average American worker.

High time that changed.
