She said in the beginning, they kept the COVID patients in their own wing, and staff were not assigned but could volunteer to be stationed there. Now there are so many COVID pts that they are spread throughout the hospital (which at least has private rooms, thank the gods). So she might have half virus patients, half something-else patients on a shift. They do get N95 masks -- but are expected to wear them for the entire 12 hours of their shifts -- and for four or five shifts. They re-use disposable PPE as well. What could go wrong?

    But yeah, it is what it is.

In our current political landscape, we only have two sides of a civil war, and everybody is either a lefty or a righty. I know what all the old political identifiers mean, but they are now meaningless in our polarized politics. It only takes a moment to see if a person is on the side of Marxism, violence, defunding police, BLM, violent protests accompanied by "peaceful" accomplices, fake news, welfare, and overblown pandemic panic to destroy the economy. When I hear a lefty who sounds like he is going to vote for this chaos, I know in an instant that he is effectively voting for ALL of it.
    Yet oddly enough, those ppl on the far left see YOU as the enemy. They see that you favor fascism, authoritarianism, racism, hatred, bigotry, the biggest wealth disparity in American history, corruption, bribing other countries to get our favored candidate elected, kowtowing to despicable dictators and America's enemies. You hate science, knowledge, intelligence, ethics, morality, and freedom. You want an all-white all-Xtian all-males-in-charge world.

    That's how many of you Reichwingers are seen. Even the most moderate and centrist of we lefties despair at ever being able to come to the table in agreement with the likes of you alt-rightwing nutjobs.

    Fortunately your side isn't all like you, nor is my side "commie Marxist" boogeymen. Only a low-IQ poor-quality mind would believe that. Do you have a poor-quality mind?

    Yea, I fully understand, our hospitals ran out of stuff & started making their own.

    One of my daughters mother-in-law just retired from that....... She was the head nurse of that section but they eventually closed it do to lack of patients...... I dunno if it is reopened or not as she retired 2 seeks ago...... Glad she got out of there, I was very concerned about them & grandkids

    Lefties don't know anything about me, they only know what they are told by the MSM. Either way, we are on opposite sides of the war.

    I don't doubt that. I am terrified for my youngest daughter, who is a special ed. teacher... with MS.

    We used to joke around in nursing labs -- where we learned to calculate and calibrate IV drips manually, among other dosage calculations -- that they were training us for employment in third world countries. For some reason that's not as funny any more.

    I only know you through your words here. You only know me through my words. It is clear that you are a RWNJ, alt-right, simplistic puppet of the regime. In addition, you are a troll. Thanks though, for livening up this discussion thread.

    No, it's not.....

    Imagine if CCP said sorry, we want to hold all are masks to insure our ppl are safe....... Sorry, no meds from China for a while, we are on holiday.........

    When I went in & my Dr had on just a face shield, that was what they had left & he said that w/in about 21 days they should have all their needs done in house...

    I didn't say anything, but was thinking, well that's great, as long as you can still buy most of the materials to make it......... Most of which are MADE IN CHINA..
