Front-line medical workers have been watching the ERs and ICUs fill with dying patients for the past year. They see only the worst of the worst from this pandemic. Some areas had to bring in refrigerated trucks to handle all the bodies.
It’s not the world-ender advertised by the media and the Democrats, but it’s definitely generated a lot of pain and suffering, and the front-line medical workers have every right in my mind to sit back and not run around telling people that it’s no big deal. They’re the ones who have to deal with the results of both the bad policies of the politicians driving infection and the bad behavior of individuals (”oh screw this covid mess, I’m going to visit grandma in the nursing home no matter what!”) bringing people to their hospital.
‘and the front-line medical workers have every right in my mind to sit back and not run around telling people that it’s no big deal.’
I said nothing about telling people it’s ‘no big deal’; I said medical practitioners could have provided some much needed perspective in the early stages and how to deal with it as adults...this, they obviously failed to do, and instead trotted out ‘experts’ who assured us that our best response was to damage our economy for years and forever change the social contexts that hae existed for centuries; and when they attempted to push back against the politically correct narrative, they were cancelled by their own peers...
thus, we have the likes of ‘Rachel’ Levine dictating how we should go about our social affairs, and other state political flaks providing ‘medical’ opinion on our future...sorry, but the medical profession will have to look hard in the mirror to determine how we climb out from under this...
