The level of ignorance about this is amazing. I really want someone to ask this question to RFK Jr. just to see if he understands this in the slightest.

"Pneumonic" is just how it entered the body and the organ it primarily affected. It's faster than getting by a flea bite because how long can you hold your breath? It's all the same Yersinia pestis.

Or our tax dollars go into state schools like they used to.

I have a liberal arts degree in Broadcast Journalism. It and a few science courses got me into med school. And I had a wonderfully broad education. College is not just job training.

Human plague still occurs in the western US, with most cases in northern New Mexico and Arizona.

"Panic"? Can't anyone see this is click bait? One person dead, 200 quarantined. Standard infectious disease practice. Plague is endemic to the desert SW. The reason she died so quickly was that a test tube broke, she inhaled it, and got the deadliest version, pneumonic. www.cdc.gov/plague/maps-...

I still marvel the "log cabin" republicans exist.

All pneumonic means is that it was inhaled. Usually it's from a flea bite. Pneumonic is faster and deadlier only because of the organ it attacks first. It's all the same thing.

Physician here. Just because he lies all the time, doesn't mean he's lying here. One case, 200 quarantined. Plague happens here, too. There are a few cases every year in the desert SW. www.cdc.gov/plague/maps-...

By "hospitalize", they mean "quarantine". Plague is endemic in the Four Corners region of CO, AZ, UT and NM. Every year a few cases occur. One woman got the pneumonic version when she broke a test tube, the rest were just exposed. www.cdc.gov/plague/maps-...

How much money is enough? He'll live in the lap of luxury for the rest of his days even without this deal with the devil.

Physician here. There is no cause for alarm. It is highly contagious, but if you isolate those exposed (they have), have a strong clinical suspicion to watch for this in the area, and start antibiotics immediately, it can be controlled. We have occasional cases in the US in NM and CO.

I can't imagine betting on sports. Just now how I am made. Why would I throw money at things where somebody know more about it than I do? Especially when someone could have inside information.

If I want to give my wife the willies, I hum the flying monkey music in her ear.

Foghorn Leghorn for President?

I am betting that the drug wasn't given IV but into the surrounding tissues in her arm.

Not a virus. Yersinia pestis. Correct this immediately. Don't you guys have editors?

I am amazed at how some celebrities feel the need to trash their reputations.

Maybe we should get Human Binky to show him evidence that a much larger dose would give him even more benefit.

Not intimidate. Nobody cares what they think, whether they feel threatened or not. It would be to restore sanity, it's in defense of the democracy.

But it makes even minor head trauma more likely to result in an intracranial bleed, so there's that.

Goldwater told Nixon to resign. That's not a coup.

Why oh why are they using "Communism" as their catch phrase?

I actually have gotten a better opinion about Sliwa since the election.

Looking forward to a Democratic president and confiscating the whole of that family's money and property. Make them destitute.

I walked past John Bolton in National Airport during Bush 2, and had an almost irresistible urge to punch him in his smug mustache.

She never had a chance. Her chances of surviving even with proper care is low. Didn't they have a defibrillator handy? It takes zero specialized training to operate one. No CPR? Criminal.
