My 86 year-old mother, in a dementia ward w/ Alzheimer's Disease, A-fib, and high blood pressure...
...has survived covid-19. After being diagnosed early last month, she has now had 2 consecutive negative tests.
Even the recklessness and willful ignorance of the orange dumbass in the WH couldn't take down MY MOM!!!

That is great news!
We need to outlast this dumbass. Better times are ahead. We all need to be badasses.
