Random Thoughts

Governor Cuomo of NY intentionally sent C19 patients from hospitals to nursing homes, exposing our elderly to a pathogen they had little hope of fighting off.

Hospitals nationwide have been releasing symptomatic patients to nursing homes without a C19 test because they don't want to deal with them.

All of the above is a Crime Against Humanity, or flat-out premeditated mass murder.

There are so many people on social media screeching about staying home. Most of them receive a government check in the form of welfare, social security, disability, unemployment, whatevah. How many of these well-to-do screechers donated their $1200 check to the young man forced out of work and desperately trying to support his family? I would guess less than 1%. And that's probably optimistic. I've never seen so much narcissism in my life.

It seems that 1/4 of our country (and perhaps our neighbor Canada) are working their asses off during this "pandemic", a 1/4 are on forced layoffs, and 1/2 are sitting in their homes eating cheetos while life goes on just as it did before the lockdown.  Good things will not come from this inequity.

Trump is doing a fair job in an impossible situation. I don't know why he would want to continue funding WHO, but that was the skinny in today's news. I'll have to trust him I guess. I've lost complete faith in the WHO and the CDC. They should both be abolished, and we should start over.

When this "pandemic" has wound down, you will see doctors and nurses leaving the field in droves. We're not fucking heroes, we're regular people bound by our calling and our oath. We didn't sign up to follow the guidance of idiots like Fauci and his ilk.  His bullshit is getting too many health professionals killed. And we didn't sign up to wear the same mask day after day, or don PPE that is tissue-thin. Ridiculous! People will have to decide what kind of health care (or sick care) they want, and fight for it. Or live/die with the consequences.

We can do better. Much better.
