The city of Rialto is investigating paramedics who allegedly refused to enter a care facility to help a man who wasn't breathing, citing a COVID-19 guideline that doesn't seem to be in effect.
The 911 call came from the Rialto Post Acute Care Center at about 7:50 p.m. on Nov. 11. Video obtained by FOX 11 from a Rialto police officer's body camera shows two Rialto Fire responders at the open door of the center, wearing masks, but not entering.

Fauci is right. COVID will kill you
Paramedics should be fired period
Or their management.
If their management drilled the guideline into them that they couldn’t enter. And then update them after the guideline was no longer applicable, then fire the management, not the paramedics.
A couple of things .... I used to be an EMT.
Also, I attended a funeral service the 11th of this month. The pastor doing the service was the last person to minister to the deceased - gave him Communion the day before he died. The deceased’s daughter was to meet the pastor at the nursing home, but called to tell him there was a COVID case & maybe the visit should be canceled ..... this pastor said “no”, he was going anyway. Why? He had gone through the HIV epidemic and ministered to those afflicted then ... the vision that had him ministering during HIV and now, during COVID, was Jesus .... touching a leper.
As an EMT, I am well aware of surveying the scene, making sure it’s safe, being held off by police due to gunfire, hostage situation, armed criminal, etc. COVID? That’s the equivalent of Jesus and the leper. God Bless the officer who pushed the bed out & the nurse who did CPR to exhaustion ... they both can sleep with a clear conscience.
Mark 1:40-45. “And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, ‘If you will, you can make me clean.’ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, ‘I will; be clean.’And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
Wow! If they stepped just one foot into that building, they would all be dead!(/S)
Good thing they never took any sort of oath to preserve life.
And then they have to go back to the hospital where there are people with covid and 50 other kinds of horrible diseases.

Even if they did, they work for and are subject to a company. And both they and the company are subject to government guidelines. That presumably are designed to preserve life.
You can question whether the guidelines do in fact save lives, but the government has that authority.
The problem in this case is not the guidelines as they were apparently relaxed. It’s that the paramedics weren’t informed. At least I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. Because I seriously doubt any one who has chosen to be a parametic is afraid of entering a care facility.
—”this pastor said “no”, he was going anyway. “
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:10
Also very popular in Iraq a few years back.
This is what it is all about:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
I’m wondering if the real problem is that the paramedics didn’t want to risk getting locked up over the holiday.
If the paramedics were vaccinated, there should be no problem. /s
If there was a change in policy, I find it hard to believe that the company didn’t have all its paramedics sign something attesting in writing to the fact that they were aware of the change in policy.
If that didn’t happen, the company needs new lawyers.
I don’t think our default position should be to assume that government regulations should be ignored at every opportunity.
Admittedly there is a certain appeal to that.
It’s been a chaotic couple of years. And it’s probably hard for even the biggest companies to keep up with all of the policy guidelines.
No allegedly about it. Watched this video last night.
Pathetic.
I think that the paramedics might have been thinking they didn’t want to risk being quarantined over Christmas.
That’s why you have lawyers.
If you’re bankrupted by lawsuits or end up in the jug, you’ll wish you were prissier about the bleeping paperwork.
