Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. Of course that doesn't apply because we have The Smartest People In The World here, so yeah I guess malice it is.

Anyway, did anyone catch how the NY covid nursing-home massacre disaster was being watched closely by DoD people? I mean I assume most of you didn't but when I see a guy making strange marks on highway marker signs I know what's going on! I got chips! Anyway, I believe the plan is to weaponize grandma. They're going to shoot up some Covid-20 or 21 up her ass and then send her on vacation...to Moscow, Beijing and Tehran!

Yeah mass incompetence of testing centers. Lol.

Hey whatever you wanna call it, the numbers are bullshit and getting exposed. Serious lawsuits/licenses lost to follow, I hope.

5 covid deaths in 24 hours in our icu. 1 on a med surg unit. All covid positive. While a lot of them had significant comorbidities, covid is what killed them, not a motorcycle accident. These patients are severely hypoxic and very difficult to resuscitate. And even when we bring them back they just end up coding immediately. Some of these patients are in their 50s and most likely would have otherwise lived a longer life with just the pre-existing conditions they had.

As I said before, we don't even give a shit anymore. It's not worth losing sleep over at this point. The disinformation machine is going to keep rolling. But you can mark my words, things will change for you when it hits home. And it will.

I'm watching from the opposite side of the fence. While it's sad and unfortunate knowing people are suffering in the hospital and possibly dying the other side of the equation is terrifying.

Six years ago my kids and I started working at a food bank. There were about 20 families that received a box of food every week. Average box had around $150-$200 worth of high quality food. Fresh produce, dairy/eggs, meat, dry goods, etc. filled with donated items. Most families had 2-3 kids, one had 6 kids. Most of these families were escaping some pretty hellish lives from outside our borders. Some families came to the food bank for only a short time, others for years. We also coordinated with 3 other food banks in the area to make sure all the families had at least basic necessities.

Along came covid-19. Even when the initial cases showed up here in the states we started having discussions about "what if" and the like. So when Washington shut down we had a rough guess about how we'd need more food......and we were WAY off. Our food bank had over 100 requests for assistance immediately, the other three were in a similar boat.

We got together with community leaders and other aid organizations. Scrambling to fill requests was exhausting. Yes there was food available but getting it from the farms/ranches/processing plants to the families seemed pretty impossible. The community was as responsive as could be but asking a software developer to drive their Ford F350 (with trailer) from Seattle to Yakima every week to pick up produce for months....yea, not happening. People would rather buy a case of corn and drop it off at a food bank than spend a day a week driving over the pass.

Volunteering at a food bank one day a week with a teenager once a week was a great feeling; today not so much. As time went on more and more people asked for assistance. Many of us are ready to collapse from exhaustion. Today our food bank is supplying food to 700+ families, area-wide we're helping nearly 3,000 families (about 12,500 people). These aren't lazy people but rather people that came to our country, got a minimum wage job but worked their way up to a better paying job only to have things shut down. Imagine going from a $60k/year (this isn't much in Seattle) job supporting your family to working 60 hours a week between 2-3 jobs at minimum wage cleaning carts?

This week is looking pretty abysmal for our "customers". Imagine telling a mother with 2 kids "Here's your 2 cans of corn and 3 packages of top ramen". Yea, that's what I'm going to head out the door to do in a couple hours. Our infection rate over the last 30 days is 1 new case out of 550 people. We're already telling healthy people they have to go hungry because 1 person out of 550 is getting sick.

If you get bronchitis and develop pneumonia from it and die, what did you die from?

People are over estimating Trumps impact on C19 in the US. He is a scapegoat.

The US has an incredibly unhealthy workplace culture. People are incentivised to work when unfit to do so (spreading infections, causing workplace accidents, lowering productivity) and aren’t provided the care and support they need to recover promptly to once again become a productive worker generating worth.

Social pressures means workers will come in when they shouldn’t as employers run skeleton crews as they see employees as a cost to be minimised, not a profitable asset.

Tying healthcare to employment is fundamentally sound, but insurance needs to cover paid time off and conditions for cancelling a workers employment need to be fair.

America would deal with the virus much better if workers weren’t being made to choose between Blingy’s food line now because their employer dismissed them as they wanted to isolate and got made unemployed or Mead’s Cleric Epic cos they kept attending work despite being exposed to C19 risk.
