Granlund cartoon: Biden running - Hannibal Courier-Post -


Rush Limbaugh said he has an “instinctive feeling” that Joseph R. Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign may soon disappear courtesy of “the highest levels of the Democrat National Committee.”
The conservative icon said his decades of experience reading political tea leaves and analyzing media bias has given him a gut instinct on the Democrat’s fate, given sexual assault allegations by former Senate staffer Tara Reade.
“Biden is somebody that’s not gonna be on the ticket anyway,” said Mr. Limbaugh, who returned from a round of cancer treatment. “Something’s gonna happen.

 He said that biased media outlets and the DNC have a vested interest in ousting Mr. Biden, given the political stock they have invested in the #MeToo movement in recent years.
“They’ve gotten caught on” #MeToo hypocrisy, Mr. Limbaugh continued. “Now they’ve got the exact kind of allegation that [Supreme Court Justice Brett] Kavanaugh was hit with except this one is even more believable. … So they’re faced with a hard, cold reality on the Democrat side, and that is they have to find a way to get him off the ticket.
Just a thought.

Fifteen children in New York City have been hospitalized with symptoms compatible with a multi-system inflammatory syndrome possibly linked to the coronavirus, according to a health alert issued by the New York City Health Department on Monday.
The patients, ages 2 to 15 years, were hospitalized from April 17 to May 1, according to the alert.
Several tested positive for Covid-19 or had positive antibody tests.

Specialists in the UK recently warned that a small number of children were becoming ill with the rare syndrome that could be linked to coronavirus. The Paediatric Intensive Care Society UK (PICS) warned about a small rise in the number of cases of critically ill children, some who had tested positive for Covid-19.

The New York Times reported that researchers tracking the genetic makeup of the virus now believe that many scattered outbreaks in localities around the U.S. had their roots in New York, where city residents fled lockdown orders and likely spread the disease.
"It means that we missed the boat early on, and the vast majority in this country is coming from domestic spread," Kristian Andersen, a microbiology and immunology professor at Scripps Research, told the Times. "I keep hearing that it's somebody else's fault. That's not true. It's not somebody else's fault, it's our own fault."
"We now have enough data to feel pretty confident that New York was the primary gateway for the rest of the country," added the Yale School of Public Health's Nathan Grubaugh.

Bill de Blasio, Chirlane McCray roasted for stroll through ...

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio was caught walking almost 11 miles from his home in Manhattan at the weekend, whilst encouraging New Yorkers to snitch on neighbours not adhering to stay-at-home measures.
De Blasio was seen strolling through Prospect Park in Brooklyn with his wife.
Critics say the mayor’s visits to Prospect Park are unnecessarily jeopardizing the health of the staff who drive and accompany him to and from his mayoral residence, Gracie Mansion on the Upper East Side – located within Carl Schurz Park.
The mayor's actions also contradict his plea to New Yorkers to limit non-essential travel under COVID-19 stay home orders.

Thousands of employees at a hospital in the epicenter of America's fight against the coronavirus are being rewarded for their hard work.
More than 4,000 hospital staff -- including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, and facilities and food service teams -- at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst were surprised with a three-night complimentary vacation, Hyatt and American Airlines announced Friday.
The two companies collaborated to treat the frontline workers with free round trip flights on American Airlines to Hyatt hotels in select destinations across the US and Caribbean "to help them recharge and reconnect with their loved ones" once they are able to.

Grandparents and Grandchildren: Enjoying Our Bond At Every Age


Most of the new cases of coronavirus coming into hospitals in New York state are people who are older, not working and predominantly at home, Governor Andrew Cuomo said.

The findings were the result of a three-day survey of New York hospitals and 1,300 patients.

Among the key results:

Most are from the New York City area

Most are 51 years old or older

They are predominantly minority and non-essential workers

Only 3 percent in New York City have been taking public transportation

Only 17 percent were employed (the rest are unemployed or retired)

84 percent are staying at home.   Just a thought.

Opposition to Samaritan's Purse Central Park field hospital grows


The bureaucrats pestered the group "Samaritan’s Purse" for information about its cultural practices. Four local Democratic members of Congress — Reps. Jerry Nadler, Carolyn Maloney, Adriano Espaillat and AOC  sent a letter to Mount Sinai expressing their “concern” about the group’s efforts and demanding to know how it had received permission to operate in Central Park.
Mount Sinai pointed out that “the virus kills people of every religious belief, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation” and that Samaritan’s Purse treats all patients.

But that wasn’t good enough. A well-practiced culture warrior, Johnson was the group’s most vehement, and least gracious, enemy.
Well, I'm not sure if the politicians are really concerned more about the life and death of the New Yorkers or just to be in the news.

I hope that the politician have prepared the city for such a difficult pandemic as they all realized the danger and let the fault pointing at a later time when the cost is clear.

New York State has the largest number of death in the Country and that wasn't just a bad luck. Just a thought.
