The only thing missing was MAGA printed on it, maybe this will be the prefered PPE for Trumpers, Donald could get a bunch printed up in China and distribute them to the faithful... Orange would be a good choice for color and there is lots of room for printing slogans on them too.

People will be metaphorically dying for these deals, then literally after they get them! Book early and get lots of life and medical insurance, don't skimp on the medical insurance either.

Three Russian Doctors Treating The Coronavirus Have Fallen Out Of Windows In Just Over A Week
Dr. Alexander Shulepov is in serious condition after falling from a building. Two other doctors treating coronavirus patients have died in similar circumstances.

Alexander Shulepov, a doctor at an ambulance unit in Russia’s western Voronezh region, complained in an April 22 post on social media about shortages of medical supplies and being forced to work despite testing positive for COVID-19.

Ten days later, he fell from a hospital window under mysterious circumstances, local media reported, making him the third Russian doctor treating coronavirus patients to suffer a similar fate in just the past 10 days.

Shulepov, 37, survived the fall from a second-floor window, but he suffered a fractured skull and is now in serious condition. The two other doctors are reported to have died.

The falls are being viewed suspiciously by many in Russia, which has a history of targeting and eliminating critics, including several who have mysteriously fallen to their deaths in recent years.

Shulepov’s colleague, ambulance paramedic Alexander Kosyakin, and representatives of the regional coronavirus task force, confirmed over the weekend that Shulepov fell out of a window, according to news outlets Meduza and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. The incident happened at the Novousmansky district hospital where Shulepov worked and was being treated for COVID-19 in the town of Novaya Usman.

Shulepov had reportedly been hospitalized on April 22 after testing positive for COVID-19 but was set to be released soon after his latest test came back negative.

On the day he was admitted, Shulepov and Kosyakin published a video in which they complained about their boss forcing Shulepov and his colleagues to continue working together even after his positive test result.

But Shulepov retracted his statement three days later, amid suspicions that he was threatened to do so, saying in another video that he was in “an emotional state” when he made his initial claim.

Shulepov is the third physician in Russia to fall out of a window under mysterious circumstances during the coronavirus outbreak.

On Friday, Yelena Nepomnyashchaya, the acting chief physician at a hospital for war veterans in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, died from injuries sustained as a result of falling from her fifth-floor office window on April 25.


A local Krasnoyarsk television station reported on April 25 that Nepomnyashchaya, 47, had just finished talking on a conference call with the regional health minister about turning one of her hospital buildings into a ward to treat coronavirus patients when she fell. Nepomnyashchaya was reported to be strongly against the idea. Reports also said she had complained to superiors about the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for her and her staff. Her obituary said she was a 20-year veteran of the regional health care system.

A day earlier, on April 24, Natalya Lebedeva, the 48-year-old chief of the ambulance center in Zvyozdny near Moscow, died “as a result of an accident,” according to a Moscow hospital statement. She had been hospitalized with COVID-19.

News outlets Moskovsky Komsomolets and REN TV, citing Lebedeva’s colleagues, said she had fallen from a high window and that she may have killed herself after accusations from her superiors that she had infected several of her colleagues with the coronavirus. Police have not confirmed the reports.

The Voronezh region where Shulepov is located had reported 636 coronavirus cases as of Monday, less than 1% of Russia’s 145,268 confirmed cases, the Moscow Times reported. The news site said at least 41 doctors and patients at the region’s largest hospital have been infected with COVID-19. At least 1,280 people across the country have died from the disease.

After Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed in mid-April that the coronavirus situation was fully under control, an outbreak forced him and regional authorities to impose strict social distancing measures.

Some observers have said Russian authorities may be underreporting the number of coronavirus cases and deaths from COVID-19 because of a low rate of testing.

I think the first time I felt it was during the Apollo project. Everything on Earth seemed different whenever there was a man in space in those first years. I suppose it was even more pronounced in the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Second World War - that feeling that we are all in this together and that all our lives all hang in the balance. More recently, there was 9/11 but it did not seem to have any positive side to it at all - just a gut punch. There was no challenge to overcome - just a deep black hole.

This viral episode is one of those times when there actually is some cultural upside; a re-examination of what makes a quality life.

Anybody who had the slightest sense knew it was coming - but why did it have to happen when American society was so fucked up? Trump's conspiracy theories and the things I hear from the people around me probably aren't that different from a lot of nonsense one might hear during the plague years.

In Ohio, the laws for take out liquor from bars have been liberalized. I am enjoying it. Yeah, you need to buy food to get a drink. A bag of chips is good for two 12 oz Mason-jar cocktails. Nothing beats a couple hours in a prairie looking up at the clouds with a couple of Moscow mules on a rare warm spring day. Moscow mules. Never drank em before. Probably won't drink them much in the future, but whenever I do I will probably think back to this spring and remember those who worked with shoulder to shoulder and smile.
