@neptuneblue,
Trump botched us early, seems to be trying to make up for it. Biden has disappeared, while Bernie has been showing leadership. Bernie’s policies and proactive responses would make this a different scene. The life threatening situation for so many underpaid, underinsured Americans would have already been ameliorated by Bernie’s priorities.

Yeah — as if his plan would have increased the number of hospital beds, swabs, ventilators, nurses, and doctors. This is a crisis. People are dying. The entire medical system is challenged and in danger of being overwhelmed. And you're using people's suffering to score imaginary political points for the guy who lost to Biden?

@hightor,
Pretty fucked up in the head.

He lost, so now we get to hear about how he would’ve done everything better.

And in that fever-dream world, his vain, empty posturing = leadership.

What really galls me about Sanders is this "dealing with a crisis" horse poop he's been peddling. As though he were doing anything constructive--what he has been doing is dodging is the acknowledgement of his loss.

@Setanta,
If he wanted to do something useful he could concede to Biden and get his ass back in Senate chambers to push meaningful pandemic relief legislation.

I think this fake “crisis management “ is all about making himself look good to his rabid followers in the warped hope of somehow subverting the will of the Democratic electorate.

@hightor,
Had he been elected in 2016, we'd be well on our way to face this crisis--and the crisis of uninsured people unable to get medical care.

Bernie is the only candidate who champions undiluted M4A and the only one who is trusted to actually carry it out.

I don't know what Joe Biden's been doing for over a week, but I know what Bernie's doing.

https://berniesanders.com/bernie-hosts-virtual-coronavirus-roundtable/

His policies for anti-racism, anti-corruption, pro-education, pro-M4A, addressing gentrification, taking care of our planet which requires Green jobs, taking care of our crumbling infrastructure, free tuition, blowing a hole in the prison for profit system and plenty of more work together synergistically to create a country that can deal with this issue and issues like it.

I'll take one plan he has and follow it to the improvement that we should all ******* see.

He has a plan to eradicate the racist structures that keep black Americans out of the medical profession.

He starts with Head Start to make sure that all children get quality, safe care when they're young.

He wants this staff that these small kids see to reflect the demographics of the population, which requires free tuition and fair hiring practices to show value to the spectrum of American demographics.

Black and brown families have the most trouble affording college for their children, but the free tuition levels the playing ground for every one. This will populate the teaching profession fairly which, in turn, again -- believe it or not -- increases the odds that black and brown children are more successful in school, giving them the credentials and confidence to to take on jobsin the medical profession.

Demographics of doctors:
https://www.aamc.org/data-reports/workforce/interactive-data/figure-18-percentage-all-active-physicians-race/ethnicity-2018

Imagine the students who had to give up the medical field because of poverty.

74% of nurses in the US are white. https://minoritynurse.com/nursing-statistics/

We could have all the medical professionals we need if Bernie Sanders' policies were enacted. He constantly consults professionals in the fields of interest as he forms policy.

He's not beholden to pharmaceutical companies, the insurance industry or any other crooks in this country. His sole motivation is improving life for the regular people in this country.

He's the only one who can be trusted with the lives of regular people in this country.

$15. an hour would be a pipe dream without Bernie. M4A wouldn't have been on the front burner during the primary if it hadn't been for Bernie Sanders.

Feigning ignorance isn't a rebuttal.

We don't have beds because people would rather die than go into bankruptcy in shame because they got sick or had an accident. This time is going to end . https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/488783-americas-hospitals-are-unprepared-for-coronavirus-heres-why-you-should

@snood,
Biden won't do **** about it. He's the enemy of M4A, relief for student loans - so he's blocking the US increasing hospital beds and medical careers.

Medicare for all is a non sequitur. People aren't concerned with how the bills will be paid, they need masks, respirators, ICU beds and trained, experienced medical professional. It's not about how the bills will be paid, it's about being prepared.

David Zuckerman, the lieutenant governor of Vermont, is an eccentric longtime figure in state politics — a ponytail-sporting organic farmer and Bernie Sanders protege who has proudly fought against government-mandated vaccinations.

But the arrival of the coronavirus has suddenly put Zuckerman on the defensive in his campaign for governor this year: Amid the worsening pandemic, one of his top Democratic opponents is calling out his anti-vaxxer views as dangerous, and attempting to make them politically toxic.
Politico
Not intended as a criticism of Sanders. These lunatics appear to be all over the place ideologically. Just delighted to see anti-vaxxers in the spotlight now.

True, but if we're lucky, we'll all begin to worry about those pesky bills in a couple of months.

DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic

One of the requests to Congress would allow the department to petition a judge to indefinitely detain someone during an emergency

The Justice Department has quietly asked Congress for the ability to ask chief judges to detain people indefinitely without trial during emergencies — part of a push for new powers that comes as the coronavirus spreads through the United States.

Documents reviewed by POLITICO detail the department’s requests to lawmakers on a host of topics, including the statute of limitations, asylum and the way court hearings are conducted. POLITICO also reviewed and previously reported on documents seeking the authority to extend deadlines on merger reviews and prosecutions.

A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on the documents.

@roger,
At my age, if I contract this virus, it will probably be a death sentence. Yes, I would love to arrive in the middle of May, worrying about how to pay the bill.

Intelligent people should reject healthcare based on profit.

Idiots, just give go ahead and donate your lives to pharmaceutical companies. You're not really using them anyway, and you're ******* up our voting process.

I guess my posts are really truthful. A lot are voted under the viewing threshold.
