James, is that you?

Just yesterday I was reading on here about everyone going out when they were sick just so they could spit and hack on other people because they were tired of staying home and put themselves first without a care for anyone else.

As a Healthcare provider I cannot find the words to describe the disappointment when I read some of these posts. We have more hospitalized C19 patients today than two months ago. We work long hours taking care of patients that are very sick and some die and we put ourselves and families at risk.

I sometimes wonder how many of them were exercising their freedom before they were hospitalized.

Wearing a mask and social distancing is a selfless act. Based on some of the posts I've read some of you are unfamiliar with that term. It's a shame.

I see a lot of people wearing masks, but no one really does "social distancing". Pretty much just normal personal space distance.

oneoldboot are you seeing more patients than you did a few years ago with SARS? Are more people dying now with chinese flu?

How many come in for covid vs come in for something else and test positive for covid?

Yes.

I do not have personal experience with Chinese flu, but the statistics I reviewed from the CDC reports 100K dead in the USA over ~ 2 years, so I would have to say "yes" to your second question as well.

Most, not all, but most present with respiratory distress that tests positive for symptomatic C19.

This is far from over.

i dont understand

I don't know how this movie is going to end, but I don't think even the higher risk people will hole up forever. At least a lot of them won't.

I think you're right. Can't just hide forever.

I would venture that most of the discontent stems from a lack of consensus from government medical officials. There are too many variable decrees to a Covid-family member pathogen, which itself seems to pick and chose who it effects and where.

My question remains when did virological pathogens genesis to the point of not crossing state lines or only effecting certain activities?
Talk about a "smart bug?"

No consensus of the governing or the bug and we wonder why the turmoil?

Oh, and then there's the "it's an election year" backdrop for kicks and giggles.

Bottom line, we don't have consistent medical or governmental answers on C-19.
If we did, all would be different.

As a healthcare provider what are some of the risks/complications that result from wearing a mask for extended periods of time?

One hundred thirty thousand people in the US are dead because of this virus.
And some of you guys don't give a rats behind?
Because it is inconvenient to you?
The ICUs are nearing capacity.
YOU may be one of the carriers.
So go ahead and claim your rights are being violated.
just

"The ICUs are nearing capacity. "

The cdc has information you may like to read.





CDC hospital monitoring data

You could be mistaken for a female muslim.

On the thread about herd immunity there was a video of a woman doctor, Kelly Victory. Amongst many things she said in that video was that no corona viruses have had vaccines approved for them. Doesn't seem like a vaccine for this one is very likely!

Well blow me over and call me sally

Besides, this vaccine deal is pushed by Bill Gates, who is a One Worlder, & he said himself (you can watch this on YouTube,) "I'm going to reduce the world's population from 7 billion to 500 million; we will do this by means of vaccines!" If he's going to reduce the population THAT much, why is he 'try to save the world' with his vaccine. Beside this is a flu virus, it changes, so you'll have to get new shots every year; it IS NOT deadly; it is not even very contagious; you have a 98% chance of recovery; those who have died of it already had one foot in the grave from other diseases! Why are they padding the numbers? Doctors have said they are being paid up to $40,000 for EACH patient that dies, if they put COVID on the death certificate! They have even said that if they test positive for COVID at the time of death, they go down as COVID death, even if they had died from a gunshot wound! Even with the inflated numbers, IT HAS STILL NOT KILLED AS MANY AS THE FLU!
