I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

The CBS Evening News will have a report on the market for fake vaccination cards tonight. I don’t know how exhaustive their investigation will be. I wouldn’t expect it to be more than superficial. But I figured I should pass that along in case anyone is interested. 

A lot of people:  "You can buy a fake vaccination card?  HONEY, HOW MUCH MONEY IS IN THE COIN JAR?"

He, whom I've never heard of, solidly acts out what the issue seems to be for some men: manliness. Like the dickwad harrassing the old woman in the subway, it's all about the strutting and puffing out your chest. 

These things are so insecure in their own manhood that they must make displays like cosplay soldiering, dismissing intellectual argument, and recording themselves ranting and cursing as though anyone gives a shit.

Chet Hanks is the poster boy for male insecurity.

Quote

Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey said Tuesday that the state would use federal Covid relief money to increase the funding available to public school districts only if they’re open for in-person learning and don’t require children to wear masks. 

To be eligible for the grant funding – $163 million in total – Arizona school districts must be open for in-person learning as of August 27 and must be “following all state laws,” including the ban on school mask mandates that Ducey signed into law in June.

Keep it up Republicans, keep driving people to vote against you.  Arizona Republicans apparently aren't done fucking around and finding out with their electorate.

So the schools that try to spread the most Covid around will get the money?

It’s really quite stunning. I think they’ve gotten high on their own supply for so long that they have lost sight of the line between being the grifter and the griftees.

Their base glorifies inflicting pain on those who aren’t part of their tribe.

So, The Party plays to that. Their sole purpose is to inflict pain and suffering….while their base gleefully cheers. That’s it. That’s all that’s left of The Party. Just gratuitous infliction of pain and suffering.

We are almost, what, 8 months into vaccines being readily available?  With hardly any adverse effects?  Any excuse for “vaccine hesitancy” at this point is just because you’re a fucking moron who has a death wish.

Why don’t y’all have vaccines. How did the government not lock any down? Or problems with people taking them?  Haven’t seen much of what going on down there other than crazy levels of lockdowns.

I think this is a mistake. Going for 0 Covid, which is the NZ, Australia, and China approach is a fuck up.

I'm not sure what is going on with NZ and OZ vaccination, but I think not having any production in one of them is a fucking massive issue.

we have lot of fed versus state issues. bet on the wrong vaccine (AZ). got the messaging all wrong. media made AZ sound liek it was going to kill you and your first born. no clarity at all to the medical profession. doctors here refuse to advise of AZ as they are afraid of lawsuits. nothing is digitalized. and in general the Super Boomers of Australia are scared of their own shadwow. oh and scomo is a W reincarnate of happless emotionaless drivel. 

and this culture makes greeks look like productive Germans. never seen anything like it honestly. so they have lik 90% vaccers (as opposed to anti vaccers) but the issue isn't not "muh freedoms" but rather "she'll be alright" and generally just not giving a shit to do anything proactive about anything. 

*zorba* the vaccines for tomorrow! *thegreek*

my family is on the run now in the west. we had to get out at. no clue when we will return. did a 16 day indiana jones journey to create "regional immunity" and now in the west where life is regular as its damn near impossible to even get here in teh first place. lucky AF we is

Taking federal money from schools that need it, because those schools are trying to stay open with masks. 

Yeah, that's going to go over well with the the feds and with the parents of the kids in those districts.

It's very stunning, and they are getting high off of their own supply.  They really believe the parents will somehow blame the masks, rather than the Governor who is bragging about withholding the money.

He's not "fortunate."  He is a member of The Party.  And The Party Elites, in any plutocratic kakistocracy, get the best of everything.  Growing up when the Soviet Union existed shoulda taught you that.

Oh for fucks sake. He’s got money, and access to great healthcare, just like any Democrat with money that gets Covid. He’s also asymptotic and VACCINATED. There’s a message there. If you know anyone struggling to get treated send me a private message and I will be happy to help. If they are unvaccinated, sorry about their luck, but I will still see what I can do.

The Abbott thread is also a good one.  

I’m so torn here. He deserves to get really, really sick. On the other hand he’s vaccinated and maybe comes out of this with no problems and passes that message along. I’m not holding my breath on the latter.

Believe it or not, this foolhardy concept predates COVID.

A few years ago, I was discussing pharmacologic treatment options for depression with a patient who was struggling with a crack addiction and would resort to prostitution to fund her substance abuse. I vividly recall her saying, "She wanted to stop sucking dick for $5 to get a fix."

She refused to take any prescribed medications despite her endorsing multiple depressive symptoms and meeting DSM-5 criteria for a depression diagnosis. Her rationale was that she didn't know what was in those medications and they could make her sick. Of course, I didn't have the heart to ask her if she really knew what was in the crack she had been smoking or the guy whose dick she was sucking for $5. I guess she wasn't worried about getting sick from those activities.

@SEC

still trying to figure out your problem here. Vaccinated people are much better off . Wealthy people have access to better healthcare. I offered to help.  Care to articulate other than just negging me?  Sorry those things bother you..

I completely get where you are going with that.

my experience with mental health issues with a family member though has been more like I don’t want to take this drug, because if I do I won’t experience the highs anymore. Bipolar for what it’s worth. It’s a shitty experience for everyone involved.

personally, I spent a ton of time in the hospital when I had my colon removed and not only did I take the drugs, I always asked for more. Experimental? Count me in.

This is where the message should be sharpened to help getting more people vaccinated...take it off COVID some and show that it is impacting them (besides the fact that more ICU use means higher medical costs which means higher premiums and taxes down the road....)

The reality is only about 1/3 of those beds are occupied by COVID cases, but that 1/3 is the normal "buffer" beds that are available to treat people for heart attacks, strokes, car accidents etc. I know you may not be concerned with getting COVID but how about you help keep your options open in case you have any other illness that might require you or your loved ones to visit a hospital and need one.

I'd be fine with hospitals having vaxxed/non-vaxxed ICUs right now.. I know which one I would put in the parking lot and the one that would likely fill up quickly leaving no space....I think we'd be ok with that.

At this point, the vast majority of them are not going to "get it", until they "get it".

Again, why can't this shit happen in front of me.   Would drop that meathead in 1 punch.  What a moronic cunt. 

Guys like that will act tough when faced with 5' female sales clerks. If there had been a 6'5" guy behind the counter or even as a customer, he would have had a different attitude. I read some of the comments and it was surprising how many people had the guy's back. not to mention how uninformed ignorant they were about private business rights.

I recall early on with the pandemic where Abbott would confirm that businesses have the right to require masks. I haven't quite heard him say that recently. I may be wrong about that but he doesn't want businesses to realize their rights. that confrontation is due to Abbott.
