2020 Social Climber

underlying condition

A pre-existing medical issue that can increase a person's vulnerability to contracting coronavirus and/or dying from it.

She tried to remember her last truly peaceful day. They used to be common, but ever since... she hated to even say his name... took office, it had been an endless stream of crisis, turmoil, instability, and now this, the world seeming to collapse.

catch-and-kill

To buy the rights, or otherwise pay, to prevent a news story from being published. The title of Ronan Farrow's new book on the subject.

Similarly, Republican members of The Bohemian Grove paid to prevent release of the 1981 film "Star Spangled Boner" starring John Holmes as Ronald Reagan.

medical professional

A nurse, doctor, orderly, chaplain or other member of hospital staff, worthy of our most profound respect and gratitude.
