Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
She lost me when she used the term “health equity lens”. The Kung Flu doesn’t see color!
“and here’s what the government will do to help”

Yes, the Wuhan virus is racist. First it discriminated against ethic Chinese, then it discriminated against elderly and sick Persians, then it changed its mind and discriminated against older Italians and Spaniards (southern Europeans only), and now it’s moved on to sickly and overweight African-Americans. It’s also currently discriminating against British Prime Ministers, probably for social justice reasons.
Hmmm…Germany has lowest fatality rate and it’s been awhile since they last attempted world domination. You don’t suppose….
Germans as a rule practice a lot of social distancing. They aren’t exactly a touchy-feely group of people.
How else could the race baiters stay in business? Somehow, somewhere, someone is looking for a payday due to racism. Jesse the Hustler, Al Sharpscam are licking their chops hoping to cash in on a virus that is color blind. Gov Bubblehead has all the answers, Trump did it.
Better get out those black lives matter t-shirts again and start heading to China.
As long as the media reports everything broken out by race, the goal of being a color blind society will never happen. Either race matters or it doesn’t, so make up your mind and let me know what you decide.
Very low Vitamin D3 levels are very prevalent among African Americans as are low magnesium-zinc-probiotics and a few other essential trace minerals. Keeping these at optimum levels will help with most illnesses including mother and infant mortality rates/depression/etc. That is probably the common thread. But There was a false rumor going around that African Americans are immune from the virus so socially distancing is not practice much.
So the virus is racist now? FFS…
In reality most of the young people dying are overweight or obese — many of them probably have Type2 diabetes and hypertension. But no, lets make it about race, like every other GD thing — thats Chicago for you.
This should be a wakeup call to anyone who is obese — cut the high glycemic garbage out of your diet or die young. And probably a good idea to quit smoking — this virus apparently attacks ACE2 cells, which smokers have an extra abundance of.
Yes, amazing how modern medicine can mitigate some of the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle, but not all of it. Especially when a nasty plague virus appears to remind we humans what survival of the fittest really means.
This is what happens when you have a society with no fatshaming.
Despite what Oprah tells you, big is not beautiful. Guess which demographic on this earth lives the longest?
Skinny rich women. Skinny being more important than rich.
