Protests are setting off fears of a second wave of the coronavirus this summer.

The virus may be spreading during marches and also inside holding cells.

This will be the story if COVID spikes, that it was not the hundreds of thousands of people protesting, but the hundreds that were kept in overnight detention for looting, violence, or violating curfews.

Now they are worried about catching the virus? Idiots.

“You have drank too much of the media BS my friend”

There is no BS my friend. I live the pandemic everyday.

My wife wears an N95 mask everyday to the hospital. Comes hope every day, takes off scrubs in the garage, heads straight to the shower. Face has indentations from the mask wearing. We hope for the day when this pandemic ends, but it won’t be soon. Nearly every pandemic has multiple waves, this pandemic will likely follow.

I hear the cases of the 24 year old in the hospital “fighting for his life”, the pregnant women who tests positive for the virus when she comes in to deliver.

Austin cases have increased about 50% over the past week. We are expecting the worst is yet to come.

I predict 300,000+ dead by the end of the year. Today, only 109,000.

MY EYES! MY EYES! AAAAAAAAH!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY EYES?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

when they’d been raped by other Occupiers

Ah yes...the Occupackers.

[Deplorable American1776]

What the F is that? Looks like the winner (loser?) of RuPaul's Drag Race... 😋

[a fool in paradise]

Same people

I wonder if they get “tour of duty” ribbons.

[wardaddy]

Lord a mercy

That’s not What I hear from hospital folks I know at Vandy and St Thomas here

It killed their elective surgery business and the incidence and spread has been ten percent of models

They find it a nuisance

I just sat beside a nurse anesthesist Sunday at our rural pool club and discussed this

One of my 13 years olds buddies daddy is an orthopedic surgeon with Tenn Orthopedics and he and I sit and talk when we exchange kids frequently

He sat on my front porch last week and sounded just like most non doomer Freepers over this craziness

For clarification my ex mother in law aged 89 died in Boston two months ago from this as did my Uncle in Mississippi a wwii navy vet aged 94

Both were in nursing homes and neither got quinolones ....sadly

But as far as ravaging hospitals ..not here

And Texas and Tennessee have similar rates of infection

[wardaddy]

Yes

A serious weapon

[Chgogal]

Oh please! MSM was jamming about a 2nd wave before the looting and rioting began.

[Let's Roll]

Sounds like sow/reap to me.

[Real Cynic No More]

Oh, cry me a river!

[rrrod]

Let them die.

I never said Texas hospitals were “ravaged”. Sorry you invented that.

Couple of notes: Texas has the fastest growing covid cases in the nation now. Up 51% in the past week (https://www.axios.com/coronavirus-cases-spike-in-texas-and-arizona-1819ce9f-8565-483a-b367-b678a607154d.html)

As for physicians and other health care workers: Some are really on the front lines and others are way, way in the back. ER Docs are front and center. Ortho? Way in the back. They mostly do elective surgery. Their surgeries are postponed. They’ve been at home on the couch. Their salaries are WAY down. Of course they are upset at the salary lost. They aren’t taking care of the covid patients.

[SpeedyInTexas]

Another note on face masks. Many FRers say they are worthless. They are just wrong.

Do you know that hospitals actually do a face mask fitting for health care workers dealing with infectious diseases. The face mask my wife wears comes in multiple sizes. During the face mask fitting, a face mask is put on, then the health care worker is covered (in plastic I think). Then smoke is pumped in and the worker sees if they can breathe the smoke or the mask fits “properly”.

The mask is designed to protect from ebola, covid, etc.

Guessing your Ortho friend has never done a face mask fitting. Why? Cause he isn’t on the front line.

So if they voluntarily crowd themselves together to break the law, should we be too upset about their being involuntarily crowded together briefly after they’ve broken the law?
