Using A Squirt Gun To Put Out A Fire: The Lack Of Protection For Healthcare Workers | All In | MSNBC
I am healthcare worker at Emory it’s hard for us please 🙏for us they are being careless throwing things away when we need everything, please stay home so we can care for the 🤒sick 🛐🙏
ny921😇 just make masks unavailable to the general public until every hospital and healthcare workers has sufficient supply.
Shug I got the cure, and the elite do too.
@Alex Warner they 🔒everything up, they are not even supplying the workers
You can’t imagine working not being told but to show up, we need you, alot of workers have quit, this is the time to be clean, be compassionate, mindful, as a 🇺🇸American, as 👩⚕️👨⚕️nurse, doctor, housekeeping, food service, we are doing our do diligence to serve, protect, 💖,stay home 🙏pray for the 🌎
you need to get Danger Pay. Seriously.
Funny how Senators sold off their stocks right before the market losses . Scare the public with a virus then get rich from it . Yet people keep supporting them .
Nothing funny about that. Everyone still holding stocks after that Virus made it around the globe fully deserves to lose money.
Using a squirt gun to put out a fire.
Putting a band-aid to on a gunshot wound.
Expecting t’rump to know how to solve a national crisis.
Got it. 👍
Because msnbc knows what to do.
Got it.👌
@Ellie MM fortunately YES!
@Grace Bertrand
LOLOLOL……okay, then.
Complaining is what to do.
Got it.👌
@Ellie MM Good.. DONNIE whines and complains ALL the time.. it’s the NEW National past time invented by DONNIE DONOTHING ..ENJOY!… You’re going to listen to alot of it by REALLY concerned Americans on a daily 24/7 basis!!! Bwahahaha 👍
@Grace Bertrand
Well, if you consider whining keeping the country calm in a time of crisis, sending supplies to NY and California, and trying to pass a UBI to help American workers(while Pelosi tries to block it)
then let him “whine”.
You’d rather b and complain, and have panic attacks, and comment about how bad things are, like a real “winner”.
Don’t mix up the two words.
Btw, yes, you lost in 2016……and now you know why.
Obama left trump a global health infrastructure, a team of specialists to deal with pandemics like this and trump dismantled it out of spite. . Now people are dying because of his stupidity.
@Better English multiply that times 3, genius.
@mike oren Wear your MAGA hat whenever you leave the house. Trump’s “blessing” will protect you from Covid-19 hoaxes. The hat will be a warning for people who listen to medical advice to keep a safe distance because it is a sign that YOU will be patriotically ignoring everything the epidemiologists say. I’m very concerned about my 83 yr old parents, and since the Republicans are only joking when they speak of “Family Values” that no doubt qualifies me as a whining snowflake. I miss them but dare not visit. My brother lives next to them and leaves supplies at their door while keeping them quarantined. My daughter is worried that at 63 with some health problems I’m high risk, and says, “I want to see you but I love you too much to make the trip until I can be sure I won’t risk your health. I want you around for a LONG time!” All this love can’t be family values, so we’re all snowflakes to you. I thought you’d get a laugh out of us Midwestern snowflakes who’re taking such care to keep each other safe and well. As for your safety, I hear Alex Jones sells a magic toothpaste that kills covid-19. Good luck with that.
@mddah01 Is it working? I’ve been researching for my novel – there’s no pandemic in the plot, but it includes characters who unquestioningly believe anything their leader says even as he does them harm. If you get any coherent responses, would you share them with me? 🙂
@Morwyn Wordnerd Hah – I wish I could. No, sadly this is one of my stock responses to truly offensive trolls. Some of them who are doing it for their own pleasure take the bait and I have fun when they try to answer really dumb questions. I really shouldn’t tease such damaged souls. My apologies for misleading you.
@mddah01 No apology needed. I knew your words were troll bait, but I asked in case you’d ever hornswoggled one into giving a revealing reply. It is funny how much they can expose about themselves when they think they’re being clever. For example, it’s easy for a word nerd to recognize projection: their vulgar attacks and weird assumptions show what they think they’re hiding. Like you I don’t want to cause harm by teasing damaged souls, but most trolls have rhino hides. If I realize one is actually distressed, I gentle my approach. Fencing with vicious trolls relaxes me the same way that sharpening claws on a scratching post satisfies a cat. Pleased to meet you, and I hope to encounter you again. Be well. 🙂
this is going into war with no ammo and butt naked
Antonio Renteria an all out war with this virus with the cooperation of the government and the people of the nation. But the government has to take the LEAD FIRST!
Antonio Renteria ………and generously lavished in ‘radium-green’ glow-in-the-dark paint👽 and hand-decorated with ‘day-glow’red round targets🎯 strategetly placed.
*buck
And through the poison ivy and sticker bushes
And a CLOWN. for a PRESIDENT.
Lessons Learned Meeting.
I’m adding a need for greatly improved onshore Manufacturing Ability to my List.
When Corona is done we need a National Lessons Learned Meeting.
John Te Whauwhau Explain what alternate decisions or actions should or should not be taken. This is a normal requirement of Leaders when facing a 365 degree Leadership evaluation which I have applied to people such as Trump.
What Alternate Leadership Actions should be taken?
@Mike McGarrity Trump response to the virus was bad, he started off calling this a hoax, he continue to down play this, he than blames others for his own, incompetence. Instead of lying, denying, and attacking others, he should have started preparing when they were told in December. But no, his response was it’s all a hoax.
John Te Whauwhau Trump was incorrect calling it a hoax, a better response would have been something like “We are keeping an eye on this now and are skeptical at this point because Information is not solid.” Thankfully, the President changed his Tune as better information came in. The President may improve by reserving making Judgement Statements on Serious Issues until good Information is available.
It is OK to be Wrong, it is better to be Correct or keep quiet
The President needs improvement.
One lesson learned should be that exporting our manufacturing of vital goods was a bad idea. Another is that we should not abdicate responsibility for leadership in our nation, state, city or community to randomly selected DC denizens or party elites. It’s time for the people at large to step up and take over management of vital tasks, because a power vacuum is a very bad thing.
meeting ? you need a fecking gallows…
Trump :I’m not the nations Shipping Clerk. Essentially you, your State, your staff and your communities are on your own.
He isnt capable of anything other than self preservation. It takes empathy to put things behind and solve the problem. He only sees one problem, his self image. Narcissists cannot exercise empathy.
Says the guy who oversees the Post Office. Hahaha!
@808080 So, true! Therefore, states should realize this very important fact ASAP and act accordingly! I understand we should look to our government, but his slow response says he doesn’t want to help, like a true Narc. He’ll help if they massage his ego and ears with praise, etc..to get what the nation needs. That’s how I had to deal with my Narc husband. Make them think it’s their idea. Once positioned, I divorced him. I’m hoping it’s not too late for America. Confirmed: 3/27 on Morning Joe how some governor’s finally learn to flatter Trump to get much needed supplies. He has chosen the last option, to do next to nothing for our country.
The virus is obama’s fault! Obama caused it!
@mike oren He had left a totally out of date system. It needed to go. Never thought he would update it until now.
To all the doctors, nurses and first responders fighting on the front line THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Marco 🙏🙏🙏💙
Trump might only help states with Republican governors. Trump weaponizes everything he has power over.
Sad man
Thank God I’m in Oklahoma.
@mike oren nice sound arguement addressing the complaint with your own jibberish… >:[
Is he stupid enough to let NY City sink, where Wall Street and the NY Stock Exchange are? The Dow index already lost all the gains during Trump’s time in office. If the stock market sinks a lot further, his chances at November will become very questionable.
@Golf Science Guru True to form
Notice how China was ready with equipment. This is so wrong. And this president should be held accountable. Vote him out.
shoot and shovel
THEY PROBABLY WON’T
China also commandeered 1000 ventilators from Canada at 100/week which effectively blocked Canada’s access to the equipment they were manufacturing.
@Linda Fleming where did you hear that?
Yeah, we want someone who can get things done like telling old folksy stories about leg hair, and can’t make a decision if he supports this or that…..we want someone who complains about Trump, just like you.
Hidin’ Biden 2020
Where’s Joe , anyway?
Trump’s tariffs against China has made it more difficult to get medical supplies. Medical staff in Wuhan had two coveralls, masks, goggles gloves and no exposure whatsoever. They had a doctor whose only job was to make sure the medical staff was not exposed. He gave classes in removing the protective clothing slowly so as not to spread the virus. Watch ” One Month in Wuhan” and “24 Hours in Wuhan” on YouTube
United States, 3M operates 80 manufacturing facilities in 29 states, and 125 manufacturing and converting facilities in 37 countries outside the US (in 2017).
50% of masks are made in China.
But Trump and Pence just said everything is great? Millions of masks and tests right? Right??? What a joke.
they said its great until they had sold their stocks! research it!
@victor mendez I made 1 million dollars online! Yeah!
Yeah, the sharpie master says keep America great. I guess it’s as great as it gets as long as he’s around.
@Holy Land Hey Holy Lips, it came from China remember that you Devil….
@ThePentadactyl Man no, they said it’s all fine – “we’re totally prepared” and “buying tremendous amounts of elements of medical” – WHILE and AFTER they sold stocks.
(in the case of burr, he sold 49 holdings AND he bought two in biomedical – that have since gone up. THEN he wrote an op-ed for WaPo saying how prepared US is and virus is low risk to americans _because_ of that. LIE)
Bering Danish, This is like watching Titanic speeding up while aproacing the iceberg. I feel so sorry for you. 😳
Mette Jakobsen
Good analogy.
Trumptantic takes everyone down to the bottom.
Mette,
it’s more like being on a ship with a captain going through a storm, like any ship, with a few crew members on board that sit in their quarters and do nothing but complain about how bad the weather is…. and throw water on the captain.
Mette Jakobsen… same sympathy from NZ.
So sad that America have narcissistic psychopath at the helm.
@BlackMuddyRiver dude, we’ll be okay- we are self-sufficient on everything but water. new york will most likely be okay. alaska will probably be okay. the other 47 are screwed.
Trump has decided THIS ISN’T AN EMERGENCY YET?!?
He sees this through the prism of his re-election; he will therefore gaslight, deny, lie and worse; I see him weaponizing this to hurt the states and cities with Democratic governors and mayors.
@Mainely I wouldn’t be surprised! I can totally see that happening. Narcs are truly insane, once you get on their “revenge list” you are done for! Most people don’t have a clue what they are dealing with or how to handle them.
Hasn’t hit his red states yet like Calif, NY and Washington State. Wait until the red states go red on the CDC Map.
You want it to really be one, and have martial law?
Typhoid Donnie would call that a “nasty question”.
NO MASK.. People in China were threatened with fines if they did not wear mask in public in January.. We’ve known about this since end of Jan. I really hope that all the people that voted to drain the swamp are very happy! They should of been working behind the scenes to get things done instead of selling their stocks and telling everyone everything is good.
Western medical people dont believe in wearing mask in public area they think its silly..
ships hurtling toward an iceberg with a orang utan at the helm surrounded by binobos
Not only protective gears that is lacking
Also ventilators and tube for intubation
Abolished the tariff against Chinese imports and declared i Donald trump was wrong in inciting trade war against China
Say sorry to the people of China asking for an apology
Stop bashing spreading racism against Chinese
Where’s Pense I only see him shaking his head yes. He was put in charge several days ago!
Trump: “I am not taking responsibility” – THAT says it all. Thats not a leader, that is a clown
