"Your mask protects me, and my mask protects you," he wrote in a series of tweets. "Masks keep our country open!"
Bullshit. We are not open. You just found that out the hard way.

True story: employee posted that MD state popo would be conducting overt presence patrols intended to enforce Gov’s COVID mitigation measures.
A buddy replied that sounded like 1938 Germany.
I seriously think they DDOS’d our network with the collective outrage. Dipshits were trying outdo each other with just how offended they were. A senior called a halt and my buddy got a verbal reprimand for unprofessional behavior (aka no promotion shot this year).

These racist MFers!!!!!! There’s no Facebook-approved fact checked evidence that supports the LIE that COVID-19 came from Cuh-eye-NUH.
A verbal reprimand for that.
I'll stick to running a wrecker truck, there's no fucking way I'll ever fit in in probably 99% of office/"Professional" environments.

I've been saying this for months. 'Ol deductive reasoning!
I'm against lock downs. I'm certainly against nazi/stasi rat fucking government antics. I'm against continued government action in our lives.
That said, just north of Philly where I'm a paramedic, every hospital in our county is on divert. That means, no beds, notta. Most of the beds are rona patients, older, from nursing homes. As recently as 2 hours ago, I had a rona pt, old lady that will probably die in a few hours.
The nursing home we picked her up from had 19 on their rona ward, 4 died today.
Every ICU in the county has seen a spike in admissions. Younger folks are part of it but seem to be less acutely ill. Now, if these fucking idiots with mild symptoms would stop going to the ER, there might be beds. Our local trauma center has a 9 hour wait in triage waiting room.

This is partially the media's fault for essentially pitching the message that to get the Rona is a guaranteed death sentence. Then, elements within the USG promoted that idea and here we are
Farkn’ell, you blokes are going off like a tree full of galahs.
There is a huge percentage of the population that runs to the hospital every time they get a sniffle or a low-grade fever. Those are many of the people inundating ER's now. They have been on antibiotics, steroids, and everything else to the point they believe they have to have them to survive. Throw COVID in there and it's a life-or-death situation to them.
Im still waiting for those field hospitals and the ARNG to fill in. But it must be such a problem all over the globe that the government doesn't feel it's necessary.

Just found out that a colleague, a RN at one of our hospitals, died from COVID last week. She was 'older' (mid-60s?), no comorbidities.
First round, in Philly and surrounding counties, field hospitals were set up BY DMATS and guard. They were hardly used. In Philly, a large gym owned by Temple University that has its level 1 shock trauma/knife and gun club, opened it to rona. Only 1 pt was admitted there.
I know of at least 1 emergency doc, whom I respect that freely admitted, "I discharged covid pts to nursing homes instead of these surge facilities based on optics. What would it look like if I admitted granny to a military hospital cot?".
So, hundreds of docs did same, nursing homes became petri dishes for rona, many died, alot on my watch.
Fuck him, fuck these docs, fuck the state. These pts would have gotten better care with DMATS/Army medicine than in some fuck hole nursing home where the nurses that can't cut real nursing, work.
Plus, the counties need to request the assistance.
I want you to know I meant no disrespect from my response. It seriously boggles my mind. Optics? What the fuck are the optics of closing down an entire country, opening up, then complaining that people aren't following their guidelines when hospitals are overflowing? If people want me to take this thing seriously, then how about they worry about optics.
It's truly unfortunate for the ones that were killed. I feel less so for the ones that put themselves in the position due to life choices. But that doesn't change the fact that states/feds are treating it half ass. Stimulus checks? How about field hospitals to cover the surge in admitted patients while the rest of the people get back to work.
I know we say it's a complex problem, but could it really be that simple of an answer?
State sponsored, mandated even, eugenics...
