It’s just the flu, bro.
Great to see Tom Brady, the Trump supporter, enter the stadium without a mask, not wear a mask on the sideline, and also not wear a mask post-victory. Each instance of going maskless was against league rules. Champions don’t wear masks - don’t ever forget it.

This might be harsh but it was ridiculous to glorify the healthcare workers at the Suoerbowl. Especially in New York, there was no group of people who were more filled with cowardice. They wore hazmat suits and failed to even give basic care to the people of NY who were hospitalized early in the fauxdemic.

Ping freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list
Champions don't wear masks

waiting for fauxi and gates to be tried for crimes against humanity
449 New York healthcare workers - most of them nurses - have died from COVID-19. Wearing personal protective gear is standard policy pretty much everywhere in the western world when dealing with an infectious disease. When dealing with a novel disease where the method of spread is unknown and the rate of spread is unknown and the outcome is unknown (particularly since China was feeding us BS data even as Italian hospitals were overflowing), maximum PPE is standard.
So yeah, that's a little harsh. For most people, if your job site started filling up with diseased people dying from a disease nobody had ever seen before, they'd probably stop going there. These people didn't. Faulting them for putting on a mask and gloves while in direct contact with the sick is a bit much.
Was the Super Bowl virtue signalling also a bit much? Yes. But we should remember that these people continued showing up to work to take care of people sick with something we knew next to nothing about early on.
Well my FIL and MIL (both approaching 90) have recovered fro their first injection. Both came down with UTI the day after the shot. My FIL bounced back after 4 days in bed with chills, fever and be immobilized. Now my MIL took a week to finally sit up with same symptoms. She lost her hearing and is almost blind.
But being the good FDR liberals, they are ready for their second injection.
I cannot understand people that can be so blinded by their ideology and so in lock step with our FERAL GOVERNMENT.
Texans we need to get out of this failed experiment ASAP. Support #TEXIT and HB1359 to allow us to vote on whether we should secede or not
I contend that they deviated to such a degree from what they were trained to do that they were negligent in far too many cases. I think you and disagree on what the proper protocol is for a novel contagious disease. And I think many health care facilities around the US and the world differed in protocol from the health care facilities in NY.
Whether the hospitals in NY gave appropriate treatment to patients is a totally separate issue from healthcare workers using PPE when in direct contact with patients who are sick with a novel disease. We can certainly discuss whether the treatment was appropriate or effective, but it would be utterly insane to not use PPE when dealing with patients who are infected with a new disease we know nothing about.
No medical association on Earth told people not to use PPE when dealing with COVID-19 patients. None have since either. Faulting them for using PPE around sick patients is unreasonable.
I didn’t say PPE..I said hazmat suits. And these suits had separate air supplies. A hazmat suit is not a mask.
What’s wrong with wearing full head-to-toe PPE when dealing with a novel disease that has an unknown method of spread, unknown rate of spread, and unknown outcome?
If this had spread like measles and killed like MERS 2012, hazmat suits would be required protocol everywhere. Early on in March, they had no idea what they were dealing with. Clearly what the Chinese were telling us was nothing but lies. There was direct observable evidence that the Chinese were lying to everyone. But what was the truth? There was no real info early on.
These people have families at home. Working with patients all day who have an unknown disease and then going home to your kids? Yeah, I’d want a hazmat suit too. What’s wrong with that?
Not sure why the Super Bowl was so masky. It was the last game of the year. So what if one of the players comes down with cold-like symptoms.
I didn't watch the game live, but did record it incase something interesting happened. Your post had me take interest on mask usage and social distancing at the game. It was a total farce on the sidelines and in the stands.
My fiancee was tested about 2 weeks ago: positive. Two days later at a different lab: negative. I’d like to know if they counted her first test as a “case”. She had no symptoms.
I was tested about 2 days ago, for work purposes. Negative test and no symptoms. The people at that particular urgent care place were nice, but they were typical of people I see working in conventional medical offices. Disinterested, not oriented to customer service. Not impressed. The clinic that my wellness MD works out of is the exact opposite: professional, interested, knowledgeable (I can talk to the receptionist about nutrition in general terms - every single employee is familiar).
I am not even a doctor and I knew it was just the flu. They could have asked me what kind of PPE was best for hospital use.
We knew at the earliest stages that this was a disease only for the old and weak. And it ceases to be PPE and ventured into negligence when you only briefly check on patients in order to avoid the sickness. It is like firemen refusing to put out fires.
