You can sure that health care people, are totally scared of people now, at this time.
You cannot blame them.
Chinese said, around 3,000 of there medical staff got sick due to this, who knows how many died.
soylentdean that is what I said. Right.
Even though the chinese communist Wuhan virus originated from the communist chinese Wuhan province, you shouldn’t say “chinese”, because according to child fucker democrats it is racist
Medical people are always on guard little boy so don’t worry.
@DIY/LETS CREATE That is the benefit of the commuinism that child rapist democrats want. You can just clintonide people you disagree with
I know about a dozen of doctors and nurses died from this virus in Wuhan
Tragedy and comedy at the same time…
How about nurses being exposed and placed under quarantine then being called backintkwork. They didn’t test her yet. It’s going to get worse.
Stay home, stay home but nobody decided yet about who’s gonna pay these bills
@Ro W a huge amount
@Plague Haha! You talk like a Trump supporter. I need numbers.
@Ro W I’m not. Left or right. I listen to what all sides say and evaluate based on reality (what’s actually happening outside) and info I’ve gained from tons of news sources cross checked.
@Plague Still you can’t get your numbers straight.
ehi80 thank you 👏👏
First is to protect the healthcare givers without them who is going to take care of the infected
silencz1 The n95 mask are effective but they keep out 95 percent of Particles IF only worn correctly. Those are what we use. N95. Everytime we go in that room. There is a chance that we become infected. Under 10 percent I say. But still.
Exactly! There there on the frontline, if the frontline goes down. Well, it won’t be good.
@Matthew Maskey well said. Ignorance may be bliss. But, its effecting all of us unfortunately.

Anthony Fam me to. Take care of yourself. Our families need us to. I’m retired. I’ve been asked to come back to work but my family forbids it. I’m in the vulnerable age bracket. Thanks for what you do. I know how grueling it is.
The real virus hit the US long ago. Only the moment you stand together as equal people with respect and empathy for each other and for the rest of the world will your nation heal from what is coming. I beg you to come together. The world needs you just as much as you need the world! We are all equal and even though we play the stupid game of competition to sharpen our skills, it should always be to live a life of love and compassion. I hope this will be the lesson we all learned when this nightmare eventually is ends. Yesterday I prayed for Europe. Before that China and Iran. Today I pray for America. And normally I don’t even pray.
I agree with you. This virus hit the USA around the end of november, beginning of December of last year. That is why this has been one of the worst flu seasons in years.

DR Clements Call it what you will. Amen.

Sailor moon 8883 well it damn high time We DO!!
Dont Test Dont Tell is coming home to roost.
sounds bout right
Ray Lemar yep 👍
I made the decision to resign from my healthcare position at the front line. I have a respiratory illness and I’m considered high risk due to it. I also take care of my 70 year old mother who lives with me and I also failed my N95 mask fit test and yet my hospital still tried to force me to work on the front line testing people and triaging those with cases instead of moving me to a low risk position, so I resigned. I can only imagine how many others also are facing similar scenarios.
@Hugh Vupy you are CORRECT…..
@Sung Cho Good lord man- an n95 mask does not need a fit test!!!! there is nothing to fit! Only an actual respirator needs a fit test… and even then its pretty much a joke….You people talk but have never had to work with such protective gear. Its pathetic with the responses to my basic info
I’m facing a similar call as a healthcare worker that has a serious but well managed underlying health issue. I’m a cancer patient in remission, my oncologist says since I’m in remission my risk is like everyone else, but here’s my story: I work two places, my full time gig is a large multispecialty outpatient clinic that has set up a couple of screening protocols. Anyone who fails the screening protocol is told to either stay home or leave the building and go home and isolate, drink fluids and Vitamin C. Granted the screening isn’t perfect and a COVID infected asymptomatic person can still get through and infect us all. The people that fail the screening process are then directed to a COVID-19 testing facility that they can drive up to and then drive away from. However, my per diem job (part time) is a little ghetto hospital in the hood that is always short on supplies and the equipment never really works right. Over there, you never know what a patient in the ER has. When the pandemic first started, I figured my chance of getting COVID at the ghetto hospital is low, since patient’s in the hood are unlikely to travel to other countries, those people have other issues. But now that it’s in the community it can come from anywhere. I called a coworker at the ghetto hospital today, they said they don’t have enough PPE gowns and masks, and no face shield masks or goggles. So far no suspected or positive COVID patient has shown up there that anyone is aware of, but you never know. I am seriously considering resigning from that part time job. Who the hell wants to walk into a patient’s room when the hospital is so cheap as to not have proper protective equipment? Forget N95 masks, they don’t even have basic surgical masks to hand out. Can you believe that craziness!?? Also doesn’t help that the general public is hording like everything from masks to sanitizers. (I also have older parents living with me)

discorperted
different mask size and different manufacturers, and different mask fit different face shape, I personally do not fit any mask that I know, yes it covers my nose and mouth, but because of gaps, particles get through. Process is similar to respirator fit testing. I have worked with those gears, obviously you have not used gear or not educated and using it wrong.
Please refer OSHA

Or simple google will answer your questions
I am really worried for the medical staff…. they are the frontliners..if they were not being protected with proper gears and equipments, then it be doomday for us all!
Then so be it.
We’re all gonna die… LOL !!!
Nine Dr why you don’t give test the nurses we the one at the bed side with out a good protection you want me to work by using 1 N 90 Mask for 12 hours
Yes. It is better you have one mask then NO MASK. You guys waste a lot in the hospital. Do you need to remove your mask after you cone out of your patients room. Keep the mask on all through your shift but change gloves, gowns and wash hands
@Benedicta Nazareth so we should wear the mask to other pts room too?.. The guideline is that those mask are only good for 8hrs and not reused if soiled.. How do we know if someone coughs in your face that the mask isn’t contaminated?
First WALL STREET has to be Safe…Everyone else is own his own, NO GOVERNMENT!!
Agreed! Print more , digital money printing presses from the fed cures foreign hoax viruses from Giiiiina!
Because child fucker democrats would rather that they lived under communist China, where the govewnrment can slaughter the most sick and force people to quarantine and then shoot those who break it. This is also becuase child molester democrats have negative IQ
City hospitals are already starting to get overwhelmed and we haven’t even scratched the surface yet.
I was at the hospital today and it wasn’t busy at all. You’re delusional.
@Dicky Jones your delusional, I don’t know where you were at!!!
@Charles Bickel lol
Merrily Munson do you hide in your house during flu season.

Just found out there is a positive case at a nursing home I used to work at! PROTECT OUR NURSES DRS AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS!!
And F@#$ everybody else right? Because they aint you…
That’s real nice to say PROTECT OUR NURSES AND DRS but saying it doesn’t do anything.
@RFI-Crypto Lab No saying it doesn’t do anything but what are you doing to help healthcare workers and first responders in your community????
I’m at a hospital where we have to reuse n95 masks let alone other stuff….they give us containers to keep it in and reuse, I cannot begin to tell you how wrong that is…not only are we cross contaminating but putting ourselves and the people we are taking care of at an even greater risk….but hey atleast we have thousands of missiles and fighter jets
Same at my hospital.
RFI-Crypto Lab haha hope you live long enough to wisen up clown
@RFI-Crypto Lab Quit petting the cat. Go out and help someone.
Trump is not bothered everything is fine.
@D B You mean…. when test persons are “volunteering” else they might get shot? There are a lot of benefits from the communism that child rapist democrats want. For example… the government can clinonide people they disagree with. Like the communist chinese regime did with that whistle blower
Stay home one month? Whos paying the bills, buying groceries etc
Right! That is what I was saying 🥺
Exactly
the one yea but! U might die trying to go to work, & pay bills. It’s life or death, pretty simple. As for groceries, I don’t have an answer except live as long as u can on what u already have.
Romney proposed $1000 a month per adult $500 per child check sent to you…The Sect Treasury said he was going to propose something bigger than media reports have said…So it could be 2k for 8 weeks (2 months) The govt will not cut off any utilities the govt will not enforce any evictions…
the one Who pays the bills when you are dead? There is definitely a balance.
NETFLIX is streaming the 1981 Classic, “Escape from New York” if anyone is interested….Great film!!
Stop saying “new” cases!!! It’s cases NOW identified!!!! We are finally being TESTED— you’re using the wrong language reporters!!!
K Riva the bird that flies above you. Drops something on your eye. You bark like a dog. While the bird tweets. Looser
I feel like we were more prepared 40 years ago when the USA had more hospitals….. Also we had less people then.
I am so worried about the doctors Nurses CNA LPN RN, my God they needed to protected, because with out them! we all dead.
I am a home health care provider, my job gave me 1 pair of gloves and one mask..I asked for more..not getting them. I have one patient that is hospice ..she is at home and another that is a resident at long term facility.. I cant find gloves or mask,so I am worried, I cant just not go to work but how do I continue to put their health at risk? No I don’t feel sick,but incubation period is 14 days, I just want to protect myself and my patients
Ava Parker 😪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
