A Nashville nurse wrote an op-ed in the Scientific American detailing her experience as a nurse during the pandemic, saying the current wave of delta cases is much worse than what she experienced last year.

“It is so much worse this time. We all have so much less to give. We are still bearing the fresh and heavy grief of the past year and trying to find somewhere to put all this anger. But the patients don’t stop coming,” Kathryn Ivey, a critical care nurse at a medical center in Nashville, said.

“The numbers are higher now than they’ve ever been, the patients coming in younger and sicker. Death is at my shoulder again, as silent as he is relentless,” she said.

I reckon I’ll have to catch the reruns.

I thought Garrison looked Trumpish in one episode that I flipped past, while channel hopping.

This one is the migrant variant. Timed with the disbursement of illegals to the red states. May, June and July there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Everyone was vacationing again. Family was hugging again regardless of vaccine status. We all felt we were getting back to “normal. End of July, out of nowhere… BOOM - Delta pops up out of nowhere with Florida and Texas leading the way.

The two Covid specials are funny if you don’t mind raunchy comedy.

The last one I recall watching on purpose was the goat shipped to Afghanistan, where it was mistaken for Stevie Nicks.

Nurse, it’s going to get worse, a lot worse but not because there are more cases, but because Biden is requiring all doctors, nurses and staff at hospitals, clinics, rehab centers, hospice and nursing homes that are reimbursed by medicare or medicaid be vaccinated. There are employees who refuse and quit. So the same workload will be staffed by fewer professionals.

Already this is rule in New Mexico for all of the above medical facilities whether or not they accept government payments. Although vaccination is not required in Texas, some small town clinics supported by medicare or medicaid will be forced to close for lack of staff.

And it was a dark and stormy night.

In the distance a dog was barking his lonely song.

Travel nurses are now making $125/hour or more. Seems they’d applaud sickness.

I think I caught part of one on YouTube.

Was that the one with the dad dramatically saying he only had a 99.85% of living?
