Fact that doctors keep reiterating they’re used to dealing w/ this level of trauma is a reminder that Boston is a world-class medical town.

Also:
Julia Gillard and the Prime Minister of NZ have both released statements saying there are no Aus/NZ victims insofar as they know.
g0lder asked: So weird I saw you made a post either earlier today or yesterday about the marathon, I don't know you but it was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard about the explosions very glad to see you're unharmed
Thank you. Kindness and empathy are the key things.
Got notification from my alma mater @emersoncollege that 7 students were injured and sent to hospital. All released. #BostonMarathon

FYI:
Dan Bidondi is the name of the conspiracy theorist who asked the ‘false flag’ question of the Governor at the press conference. Ignore him accordingly.
(The name comes from Alex Jones — another conspiracy theorist functioning in a kind of Briebart role. (Bidoni appears to be a ‘contributor.’))
Update: 9:23PM — Dan Bidoni is a 38-year-old small-time pro wrestler from Providence — per Mark Leccese.
