But what I don't get is the 9 year old kid in a plastic bubble - instead of throwing the ball to home plate he walks it over in his plastic bubble. I only saw a brief news clip so I don't know what happens when he reaches home plate - he is wearing a helmet so I am assuming that the batter tries hit the bubble into the stands. Cheers and happy Mothers day! less

Bennie Adkins died the other day. The retired Army command sergeant major was 86 and had fought a 23-day battle against coronavirus. A little more than 50 years ago, halfway around the world, Bennie’s heroic actions at the battle of Dai Do in Vietnam resulted in his being awarded the Medal of Honor.

These self-absorbed and selfish Americans complain they are irritated, anxious, bored, upset — unhappy that their lives have been affected by this temp... less

I’m referring to Spence’s Pence’s visit to a medical facility where, among others, COVID19 patients were being treated. All of the people on the medical staff in attendance were wearing facial masks, Spence Pence was not. When approached about putting on a facial mask, Spence Pence refused, even though it would have been beneficial in assuring more protection for others, if not for himself. :[ less

A) needs to come out and admit he was not joking nor being sarcastic with his statement about consuming orinjecting household cleaning products to ward off Corona Virus, and B) clearly and unequivocally state that no one should try it, attempt it, contemplate it, consider it, experiment with it or do it . Unfortunately, there are news reports of some people getting sick from apparent or supposed instances of following this ill-advised “treatment”.~ less
