This is the study that found no benefit in treatment but an increase in deaths among those given it.

They keep pushing this just because Trump said it. I thought of a possible treatment that turns out to actually help (blood plasma), but I'm not the President.

And I wrote a consent document for the latter today!

Maybe I'm missing something but shouldn't we have the unemployment number by now?

He argued and yelled at her in a press conference 2 or 3 weeks ago as well.

So you don't get accused of parroting false information from the conservative posters, can you post the video where he yells at her 2-3 weeks ago.

I have not seen him yell at any reporters.

You're right, not yell at, but berate and insult for doing her job while asking "Who are you with?" as if it matters. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/04/20/trump-confronts-reporter-weijia-jiang-coronavirus-briefing/5163639002/

Another look at the jobs currently lost

This is already shaping up to be worse than the Great Depression. If action isn’t taken soon, the strings connecting this country could snap.

Hispanic women have been hit hardest by job losses. Maybe Joe Biden should pick a Hispanic woman as VP. The Democrats have never had a Hispanic candidate on the ticket. It would be groundbreaking.

No, Democrats are going to pick a black woman and ignore Hispanic voters yet again. Sadly, a Hispanic Woman is probably the best shot for Biden.

SMC is the only vaguely viable option in that regard, and having served in the US Senate for less than two years that's sketchy.

Who tha heck?
