I disagree it seems insulting to have so much joy in the middle of chaos and death. I get morale boosting, but we have actual issues like patients dying and ppe shortages, after a day of work I find all my joy sapped because I just simply can't take it anymore.the the way we're handling things is simply unacceptable. It's okay to be upset and angry, God damn I'm so sick of the cheering, yes obvious sheeple cheer some more as we go walk in towards our death I'm sure that boost of positivity is going to help me if I get sick enough that I'm hooked on a machine to live. Yes Cuomo-senpai enjoy your high life quarantine while I struggle to find fucking toliet paper and don't even get hazard pay. After 12 or so hours of working non stop in make shift ppe. I know it's so hard for the elite to suffer with their gourmet meals and spacious mansions, I'm sorry I'm pissed. next pandemic I'm out.

A little update from me since I last posted here after being tested positive. Powerleveling and MOTI but it's been a rough ride and I am tired of feeling like garbage.

The hospitals are still a joke, you can be struggling to get breaths or coughing up a lung and they'll just give you cough suppressants and send you home. I was coughing up blood as well as having difficulty breathing and they pretty much just looked me over (without actually touching me mind you,) told me to get bedrest and discharged me within 20 minutes of arriving. Pretty sure I'll have permanent lung damage after all this is over.

It's apparently a common thing at the moment for hospitals and urgent care in my area to not take the younger patients seriously when it comes to COVID.

EDIT: spelling

God bless and keep you. Is there someone looking after you, or at least dropping off supplies?

Nice waste of resources. Whether those are gowns or table covers, they must cost something and be needed for actual business.

I can tell you. Having seen nurses resorting to garbage bags and sewn masks trying to survive with no PPE. When I see this I have fucking flashbacks to how much hope we had when we saw that ernie meme being used to warn things were going better. And the dread when the cops took part of our supplies away, multiple times.

This shit's unacceptable. Do all the fucking tiktok you want. God knows our professionals have had their fair share of free time since the measures have allowed them to restrict the families and standardize a lot of stuff. At least after the outbreaks were contained anyway. But don't waste PPE like that. That just seems like mockery to the ones having a bad time.

And if you're gonna excuse it by saying it wasn't going to be used anyway 'cause it's been used already or something like that. Then I have a massive safety regulation protocol to insert up your arse!

I'm going to take the unpopular position and defend the TikTok hospital workers.

Most of these people are facing furloughs and/or reduced workloads thanks to the shutdowns. Outside of major cities, hospitals are receiving much less patients and workflow. Unless someone can prove to me that the healthcare workers in those videos were doing so while patients were left attended, I could care less that a few bored CNAs felt the desire to act as hooligans on a shitty ChiCom video media site.

They're using (Chinese Communist) TikTok.

You cannot defend that.

That is a valid point.
I retract my statement.

Still though, I blame the state governors for policies which are putting the non-overloaded hospitals at risk of shutting down, not the staff for being hooligans with nothing to do. Also fuck Pelosi and her ice cream stash.

in michigan it's now illegal (or at least grounds to get kicked out) to not wear a facemask in walmart. I know, I know, precautions are important but this quarantine is driving people up the goddamn wall. How much longer before people are pushed to be civilly disobedient (more) out of pure spite?

Your governor is a crack smoking tard that should have been aborted to protect the rest of the gene pool.

Government in Norway stating they're not going to consider reopening international travel until a vaccine has been distributed.
This is asinine, a vaccine might never be found. They can't maintain martial law indefinitely out of fear for the "second wave"
Click to expand...

I... what. The. Fuck. A vaccine for a novel virus takes 18 months to test IF YOU GET IT RIGHT. And even then the chances of the virus mutating are too high to rely on that.

Vulnerable communities should've been more protected long ago. But outside of that and the implementation of further hygiene protocols (specially getting people used to being conscious of how they coof and use gloves on markets, on top of apparently proper hand cleaning, because that's something that surprisingly people needed a refresher on. Everything else just can't fucking wait for a vaccine. This is ridiculous!

Honestly. IF the mask supply is sufficient, that would at least not be a hortid idea. So while still dumb, compared with everything else michigan's done, it feels ok.

I'm gonna disagree. It's one thing to goof off at work when things are slow. It's another thing to broadcast how much you're goofing off while lives are ruined and society circles the drain to protect you. I'll even add that I wouldn't care if they were doing all this goofing off anyway without broadcasting it. It's such poor taste to broadcast this crap when the country is on lockdown explicitly to protect you. Because let's not forgot that this lockdown is about "flattening the curve" and "not overrunning hospitals". So fuck these speds. It's literally rubbing everyone's noses in the fact that the reason for people's lives being ruined and businesses being ruined is just a joke.

Man I was leaning towards being charitable to them to when I started this reply but now I'm full on back to 🎩 when I started thinking about the reality of the situation.

Speaking as a relative of a healthcare professional working at a major hospital, the reason is that the floors other than the WuFlu floors are slow, and they can’t operate on patients who aren’t actively dying. If nobody is getting into car accidents or exploding in bonfires, then there are a lot less patients in the ER, for instance. The relative in question has been getting free vacation days because of how slow it’s been in certain parts of the hospital.

It's actually because outside of major cities there is minimal WuFlu caseload.
