The level of American entitlement/selfishness knows no limits. I now understand where “ugly American” comes from 👇 “There is no indication that the woman intended to come back to the U.S. or to New York any time soon. Instead, she continued on a multi-continental trip around the world.” 1/3

To be clear, it’s not the Hantavirus Andes strain I’m concerned about. It’s my fellow Americans’ unmatched ability to disregard science and spread everything but the truth, widely & indiscriminately, that worries me. #Hantavirus #AndesStrain

Leaving this here for no apparent reason…👇

There is no f’ing thing as a “mildly positive” PCR test. There’s either a POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE result. PCR tests have 98% sensitivity accuracy and only a 2% chance of a false positive. “Mildly positive” is not a thing. 1/2 #Hantavirus

Had this disclosure been made during the Biden or a Harris Administration, I wouldn’t be the least concerned. I have 0️⃣ confidence Trump, Worm Boy & rest of the anti-science, non-medical, Ivermectin brain trust Trump has put in charge of our public health, will handle this correctly. ZERO! 😷🦠😷 1/2

This is not normal, there were never so many frequent shootings by the Secret Service in DC until Trump became President. “A second person, a teenager, suffered a possible graze wound to his lower body. That teen was described by law enforcement sources as an unintended target.” 1/2

Democrats need to accept that they're entering a new era of procedural Total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, but it's not limited to that.

If there was in fact a shooter in that was neutralized/in custody & Trump comes back into that hotel to carry on as if nothing happened, then I’m gonna have to assume that it was a stunt. Because there is no universe in which the Secret Service would bring back their protectee into such a scenario.
