Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

It’s Louisville who has made one of the few evolutions in positions I’ve seen on this board - hoax to yikes. I give him props even though he spouts righty nonsense at times.

 

Credit where credit is due. I agree.

This is really interesting.

 

This resident independent skipped his post but liked yours which have similar good news. Why’s that? One of you is reasonable and worth my time responding. No, I can’t be bothered to even click a “like” button for that poster. I’ve wasted too many of my precious hours on this earth reading his absurd drivel.

 

Ah. Makes sense. I put him on ignore back when he was trolling.

 

Disagree.

 

Hyper partisans exist on both sides. I just like to give everyone a fair shake on each topic. His post deserved a lot of likes, that's all.

 

I chose it because it was recent. It happens all the time. I have just never pointed it out before...And I click like for you quite often.

 

You're missing out on a lot of really bad predictions and on a lot of sanctimonious posts towards liberals for being so callous and putting politics ahead of the good of the people/country.

 

That is what happens when the facts on the ground (even according to the experts) change by the hour. Going out on a limb here and guessing none of you have ever watched The Weather Channel, where scientists change their mind 5 times in a day and still get it wrong routinely. But you know, new viruses and pandemics, much easier, right?

 

I think you’ve received credit for evolving your position. It’s mature and as you pointed out there was an unveiling of information over time. You still post explicitly to irritate libbies at times though. I myself am never inflammatory. yea right.

Here’s one of my earlier posts. I didn’t seem worried back then.

 

Boy, after all the trolling he did over what a hoax this thing is, I'll give having to listen to any sanctimony from him a hard pass.

 

My sister was in a room with a patient without airborne gear because they didn't suspect he had COVID. Well she found out today he was positive and he came off the vent which aerosolizes the virus. She was in the room for hours. Her hospital won't test her. They told her they are her employer not healthcare provider, and she should call her primary. This is how we treat our healthcare providers.

 

I'll tell you who it is after I get back from the Matt Bevin victory party.

 

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. Reminds me a bit of my cousin who's in her fifth day fightin this bastard. RN, attending to a patient she was told didn't have it. Unmasked (because they were trying to preserve ppe supplies). Yup, he had it. Don't know if it was him she got it from but still.

 

Which is more likely?

Liberal media headlines: "TRUMP SAVES 11,000 AMERICANS!!!"

or: "TRUMP SLAUGHTERS 81,700 AMERICANS!!! MORE THAN KOREAN WAR!!!"

 

That's terrible. No nurse should ever have to put themselves at risk because there's a PPE shortage in the richest country on Earth.

Oh and a bonus: My sister is scheduled to work tomorrow and her boss said come on in and they can "discuss" how to move forward. We have drive up testing places in Jax but the results take up to 2 weeks. Her hospital can get results in 12 hours but refuses to.

 

I would seriously go to the press. If word got out on that they would change in about 7 minutes, or however long it took the head of the hospital to call downstairs and yell at people.
