New Crisis: CV19 Destroying Kidney’s in High Percentage of Patients and NO Dialysis Machines

NY Times: For weeks, U.S. government officials and hospital executives have warned of a looming shortage of ventilators as the coronavirus pandemic descended.
But now, doctors are sounding an alarm about an unexpected and perhaps overlooked crisis: a surge in COVID-19 patients with kidney failure that is leading to shortages of machines, supplies, and staff required for emergency dialysis.
The disease is also shutting down some patients’ kidneys, posing yet another series of life-and-death calculations for doctors who must ferry a limited supply of specialized dialysis machines from one patient in kidney failure to the next. All the while fearing they may not be able to hook up everyone in time to save them.
It is not yet known whether the kidneys are a major target of the virus, or whether they’re just one more organ falling victim as a patient’s ravaged body surrenders. Dialysis fills the vital roles the kidneys play, cleaning the blood of toxins, balancing essential components including electrolytes, keeping blood pressure in check and removing excess fluids. It can be a temporary measure while the kidneys recover, or it can be used long-term if they do not. Another unknown is whether the kidney damage caused by the virus is permanent.  read more…

Trump Says Lockdown Protesters like ‘Rosa Parks,’ –
VT Says ‘Enough of the Lies and Bullshit

This is Rosa Parks:
She and millions of Americans of color were brutalized in their attempts gain human rights after a century of fake freedom and abuse by those who now back Donald Trump.  The current round of fake protests, coordinated by Trump liaison to the neo-Nazi/Supremacist community, Stephen Miller, backed by the DeVos, Prince, Koch, Coors fortunes is the antithesis of Americanism.
By abuse we mean this:

.
What we don’t mean is this:
These are the faces behind the dogs and fire hoses, these are the hands of the whip and truncheon, and they aren’t protecting anyone’s rights, not fucking hardly.  This is America:
Imagine this gang running from dogs?  Imagine them running at all.  Oh, the biggest risk for COVID mortality is smoking and obsesity.  Might we title the photo below, something unpleasant?  Let me know.
VT has some simple advice. If you can’t respect our laws, our culture, our history and the sacrifice of those who fought two wars to end slavery and oppression, then we offer you an option.

Get the fuck out.

We are sick of whining assholes trying to find honor in hatred, bigotry and cowardice. Not hardly fucking ‘American’ in any way, manner or form. People fought for this country and they didn’t do it to see this place turn into Nazi fucking Germany at the hands of the Kosher Nostra and fake militias paid by a group of billionaires.
What happens to our Lockdown guys in real life?  Watch:
If you don’t think black folks have no patience for Nazi’s, there are more than a few white folks out there who are far more expressive than this.  Who is it that we saw in Lansing?
Daily Beast: White House economic adviser Stephen Moore has equated pro-Trump protesters demonstrating against stay-at-home orders with civil rights icon Rosa Parks. “I think there’s a boiling point that has been reached and exceeded,” Moore, who sits on the White House council to reopen the country, told The Washington Post this week. “I call these people the modern-day Rosa Parks — they are protesting against injustice and a loss of liberties.” Speaking on a YouTube livestream earlier in the week, Moore said he was helping to organize a legal defense fund for those who are arrested as part of the demonstrations, which in some cases have included Confederate flags. “So this is a great time, gentlemen and ladies, for civil disobedience,” Moore told viewers. “We need to be the Rosa Parks here, and protest against these government injustices.”
Less than a year ago, Moore withdrew as President Trump’s preferred pick to head the Federal Reserve Board after a number of old sexist remarks resurfaced. Among them was an assertion he made in 2000 that it was “not a good thing that black women are making more than black men.”

COVID Soars as Trump Ban’s Testing, Faking ‘New Infection’ Numbers for Wall Street

“As tough as this moment is,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, a Democrat, “it would be devastating to have a second wave.”

NY Times: New York, New Jersey, and other states say reopening their economies must be linked with wider testing for the virus. Leaders say a second lifeline for small businesses and hospitals nears approval.
State governors facing growing pressure to revive economies stalled by the coronavirus said on Sunday that a shortage of tests was among the most significant hurdles in the way of lifting restrictions in their states.
“We are fighting a biological war,” Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia, a Democrat, said on “State of the Union” on CNN, adding that governors have been forced “to fight that war without the supplies we need.”
In interviews on Sunday morning talk shows, governors acknowledged the sweeping economic anguish that has been unleashed by the pandemic, but they continued to stress that limiting the spread of the virus was their highest priority.
“My goal is to try to get us open as quickly as we possibly can, but in a safe way,” Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, a Republican.
