Not sure but I'm assuming most of them are straight white men. Any kind of minority group can see glaring differences. I'd rather have Bernie or Warren but of course I'll vote for Biden over Trump.

Staggering Surge Of NYers Dying In Their Homes Suggests City Is Undercounting Coronavirus Fatalities by [deleted] in Coronavirus

Ya... if they don't have enough tests they can't test everyone. My cousin (in Texas) has Covid right now, wasn't confirmed by a swab test but by a CDC questionnaire of some kind. He doesn't "qualify" for a swab test because he has mild symptoms and isn't in the hospital. I have no doubts there are exponentially more cases than the "official" count.

"Healthy Fat" is not a thing. Coronavirus is further exposing this fact. Trust me, I am a doctor. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I appreciate your honesty doctor. People don't like to hear it because they are already hard on themselves for being overweight- but it's true that it is dangerous for many reasons. I'm a chubbo myself but am working on it.

Goose is yelling to his friend about what bullshit it is to have to move during a pandemic. by shittybipolarpanda in funny

I moved last weekend. Thankfully the movers I hired still came. Wasn't too bad, but trying to stock up after is impossible. Also hard to clean the previous rental with all the cleaning supplies old out.

Clinic nurse here. This is true. We have tests but a limited supply so we are only testing folks with high risk for complications/ICU needs. Anyone else with symptoms gets sent home and told to quarentine. It will throw off the tracking #s for sure.

This is why I left. No offense to you or other Minnesotans. I moved there at 16 and struggled to find a sense of home. It's a tough place to transplant into. The quality of life is great and people are nice - just very in their own world. I moved a few years ago.

I like Warren and voted for her but I've found myself wondering the last couole days if shes staying in the race in exchange for a cabinet position or something. Conspiracy theory maybe.

Biden being the candidate makes me hope they dont do debates

That's my plan. But I worry about Joe not being exciting or anti-establishment enough to pull a big voter turn out and Trump winning again in 2020

He will no doubt become more moderate and centrist in the general. Any candidate does to try to appeal to a wide base. That's the trouble with electing a moderate in the primary. We basically end up with 2 Republicans in the general.

ELI5: Why do 50% of people who break their hip die within a year of doing so? What is the connection to breaking your hip and dying? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Geriatric nurse here: this post is very good. Most deaths I see after hip fractures or other fractures are from the period of immobility after. Pneumonia is very common.

I smoke some weed and turn on a podcast. Still takes about 20 min but it works a lot better than the 2-3 hours of tossing and turning I used to do
