Thanks. Good stuff
Well stated. However, about opioids, let's be clear that is the illegal market and not script stuff, I know because I've had need for pain meds in recent years and found it almost impossible to get the stuff despite an obvious medical need, and had to jump through hoops just to get scripts filled and my doctor was OFFERING them I wasn't asking, and even at that, would only get enough for 7-30 days at a time and frankly, never found the stuff all that powerful, addictive or dangerous despite sometimes taking double the dose just to get relief, and I was taking hydrocodone, percoset and codeine, the real stuff.
Look, you jackass garageman, quit your fantasies that the Left is the "majority" in this country. Only around the big cities where you live and all jerk each other off. By every honest, non-partisan account, conservatives have ALWAYS been the majority in this country, just that most of us are not organized, even fewer are proactive aggressively political, and many don't even bother to vote.
Nice try having had you questioned answered you then switch the parameters. That ploy does not work on me
Well, despite having a legit medical need and demonstrating restraint and responsibility in using them, I could never get enough to do any harm unless I was suicidal and took the entire bottle at once maybe with alcohol. In that case, if I WERE suicidal, I'd simply find another way. My recovery from surgery was actually lengthened by MONTHS because they forced be to use a leg that had just been operated on to jump through hoops just to get scripts filled when I should have been in bed healing. **** them. **** doctors. **** pharmacists and **** all the idiot bureaucrats who write blanket laws that apply to everyone with no thought of the actual reality or situation just so they can put something down in their mailings to constituents as a reason to vote to reelect them.
I got hydrocodone recently when I had a kidney stone. No hoops involved. It's just one of the basic prescriptions for kidney stones, from what I understand. Of course, I only got 10 of them.
And opioid overdose deaths certainly do occur from prescription medication. According to the CDC, close to 1/3 of opioid overdose deaths involved prescription meds in 2018. Illegal drugs are a more frequent overdose killer, but prescription drugs play a significant role as well.
You don't, but you stock pile what is needed to process tests, reagents and protective gear, PPEs.
Once again, but I repeat myself. By the way, how do you stockpile tests...for something you don't know what to test for?

Probably the most important thing the administration could have done to have stopped or lessen the impact of the virus is being prepared. By being prepared I mean a plan to react to a pandemic which would include the mechanism for stockpiling and maintaining the stockpile that would be needed for fighting epidemics as well as other national disasters, in particular viral respiratory epidemics which have been the most common pandemics over the last century. Next, setting responsibilities between the agencies and meshing the federal response plan with the state plans and establishing clear boundaries of responsibility between the two. Finally, a plan for massive testing and tracking involving state and/or federal resources and periodic training in epidemic control, testing, tracking, and monitoring. This was recommend to Trump in 2017 by the WHO and also by Homeland Security in a 2019 report which he ignored.
Looking forward the the US should support the efforts of the World Health Organization and a number of countries to shut down or at least regulate wet markets and animal markets around the world, a primary source of communicable disease and responsible for epidemics and pandemics around the world that have cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars.

So 100,000 dead Americans is nothing.
You seem to forget that the covid 19 deaths have grown from nothing to essential 100,000 in less than 3 months That's 400,000 over 12 months, if we're lucky. Most health care experts are expecting a second wave at least as bad as the first and less compliance by the public to healthcare guidelines.
Trump may have been distract when virus first hit the US but he certain was not in 2017, when the WHO advised him of the US lack of preparedness, nor 2018 when he disbanded the pandemic response team whose job it was to plan for a pandemic, nor in April 2019, when Homeland Security warned of the unpreparedness of the US for a pandemic. It seems very unlikely that Trump would consider doing anything to prepare for a pandemic because it just couldn't happen on his watch.You don't, but you stock pile what is needed to process tests, reagents and protective gear, PPEs.

You know you are right regarding Trump ignoring the WHO and Homeland 2019 report.
I'm fairly confident Trump was distracted by the continual efforts to impeach him, to destroy his administration (Flynn,etc.) and all the extraneous political
efforts. Trump is first and foremost a businessman. Who sees that the ONLY way the government can survive what with 62% of the budget Mandatory spending, and what with the military according to Trump: I Was Forced To Delay Military Action Because Obama Left Military ‘Low On Ammunition’
No president should ever, ever hear that statement, we’re low on ammunition. And we now have more ammunition, more missiles, more rockets, more tanks. We have more of in everything than we’ve had before,”So in April 2016 this is what the military was saying about Obama and the depleted military...
Pentagon leaders bristle at the idea their force has been "gutted" or is a "disaster." The U.S. remains far and away the world's foremost military power.
Fact Check: Has President Obama 'Depleted' The Military?
But spending is down; the force is smaller than when Obama took office and its equipment is aging. And, indeed, military leaders have spoken out about what they call the national-security dangers associated with climate change.
By nearly every measure of force structure — the number of brigades, aircraft, ships and subs, Marine battalions, and end strength, [today's force] is smaller than when the [post-9/11] buildup began," wrote budget expert Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Yet this smaller force consumes a budget more than 50 percent larger in real terms than before 9/11. The military is spending more on a smaller force."
Fact Check: Has President Obama 'Depleted' The Military?
Republican presidential candidates, led by Donald Trump, claim President Obama has slashed defense spending and will leave his successor with a weaker force. We break it down.
Pro-life until the moment of birth.
The right thing for me to do is whatever I say it is. It's DEMOCRAT governors and mayors making the decisions they do because they are tyrants. They are small children with an ant farm. They are in superb need of a good tar and feathering.
Health care "experts" have been far from all knowing omnipotent Gods.
How many times you gonna ask the same question meatball? Honestly, you got nothing. Just the same shit post after post. The simple fact of the matter is conservatism lost its way a long time ago. And the whack-a-doodles like yourself helped it along. You prove it in almost every one of your posts. Your little fascination with me is just reinforcing that you're soft. Ripping pages from your saviors playbook. Repeat something over and over again. Abandon your core beliefs for the easy gin up. Move along son. Demographically speaking, your ilk is slowly but surely on its way out.
