President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

I will wait to find out how this goes. And hope it goes well with vaccinations and such.

 

Me too.  Have you heard if Congess even caring about this?  I mean, they have been going back and forth for awhile, but really not with much sense of urgency...just political games.  They don't really give a crap about us.

Feb 11, 2021 President Biden announced the administration had secured 200 million additional doses from Pfizer and Moderna to combat the coronavirus pandemic. This will be enough supply for 300 million Americans by the end of July.

So Beerman, why won't you go on the record re what do you think Biden will achieve so we have a measure for the future of your assessment skills? Surely you believe in what you say? 

I've gone on the record and I will be the first person to acknowledge if I am wrong and review my process. 

You see as an enlightened person I understand that I will not be right always and I am completely willing to accept additional ways to improve myself. 

I read your posts so I want to understand your process for making your assertions. That's reasonable, right?

I started a Biden thread on the "Blue side".   It stopped at 53 replies.   My President Trump thread I started in February 2017 had 9,600 replies and I'm proud of that one.   LOL

Schools are open here in Florida the land of no covid restrictions. The governor has denied teachers under the age of 65 the vaccine so far.

Must be a slow news day over at Fox News as they have no Biden stories.  CNN has a story about the new Biden routine in the Oval Office (early bedtimes) today so I don't have much to contribute.  LOL

Biden will have much to criticize and scrutinize in the coming four years for sure.  His fact check is full of falsehoods, but at not any that I can see since he became President.  By this time Donald Trump had hundreds of them.

This photo made my heart ache as first Valentine Day without my husband--we had this type relationship for 44 years.  Chef son did make Valentines Day breakfast and dinner to help heal the ache.

So sorry to hear of the death of your husband, NRSKaren. If you posted this before, I didn't see it. I can tell Chef Son is your treasure as well. ?

Thanks to all for the kind words. 

Yearly Jim helped Brian, Joe and Admin team set up the allnurses booth @ AACN's NTI conference. He tolerated with a smile the 25+hrs/week I spent moderating this site along with FT  position; while he was glued to his TV shows and weekend life resolved around when the Philadelphia EAGLES were playing and game broadcast.

My husband was diagnosed with Pulmonary HTN + R  heart failure in 2016, Oxygen dependent  8 liters last 1 1/2yrs + needed Trilogy vent to leave home as ONE O2 tank would only last  45 min. 

Feb. 2018 had just helped hubby get settled in car on way to Cardiologist office. glaced over - not breathing.  Oldest son hadn't left for work, layed on horn and resuscitated him in driveway.  Aug. 2018, another respiratory arrest this time in bathroom.  Numerous episodes profound hypoxia resolved with two O2 tanks  wide open.   So I stopped working June 2018 to care for him.   Thankfully, he agreed to my agency's Palliative care program and DNR by January 2020.   He passed peacefully at home April 1st, 2020 shortly after Covid hit.

This January, I started consulting for a startup home care agency developing a Quality Mgmt program,  performing policy revisions to meet state home care regs,  insurance audits and corrective action plans  -mostly work @ home.   So won't be hanging out in this forum as much.
