Considering the age-and-gender distribution of primary care docs in the US, that’s pretty damn unlikely.

Some Experts

At a White House briefing, President Trump theorized — dangerously, in the view of some experts — about the powers of sunlight, ultraviolet light and household disinfectants to kill the coronavirus https://nyti.ms/2Vz70YQ

Stop giving money to this fucking paper.

That does not even touch on the real issue here. The quoted bit makes it sound like he was musing about the usefulness of these things to kill the virus. That is not up for debate. They work beautifully on surfaces, in the environment. He was speculating (dangerously) on using them internally, in a human body! He is going to kill people (and already has) and large chunks of the media have been complicit, even ignoring the idiot branch of media cheering him on.

Washington monument view…

Probably the most green that I’ve ever seen it. Usually there are substantial brown spots caused by foot traffic.

I had to check to see if I’d missed a press conference, but this was March 16. That’s centuries ago in coronavirus years.

There was a scene in Saving Private Ryan where a soldier sat still on a staircase and let an enemy who had just knifed the soldier’s buddy walk on by and out the door. Soul death.
