    Because you are still wanting to engage in emotional, often hateful diatribe so you can continue to push your own personal agenda? That's the only thing I can think of.

    First, defending nursing home employees. In most cases (and personal experience), they aren't lazy - they're tired. Salaries for nursing home support staff average $15 an hour, and they are medical professionals in the barest sense of the word (most only having a HS education), though they do tend to be attending community college and working on a health care-related associates degree. They have to do laundry, deliver meals, feed, clean patients, assist with bathroom breaks (including wiping butts), and a number of other unpleasant tasks that no one really wants to do but need to be done. Then there are the RNs who work in nursing homes. They generally make less than their counterparts in hospitals, and though they have better shift flexibility they have to cover far more patients, almost all of whom are medically fragile. Then there is patient load - the average nursing home RN is responsible for 8 to 16 patients at a time, where a hospital RN is responsible for anywhere between 1 (ICU) to 6 (general ward).

    Nursing homes are businesses because our health care system is in the hands of the highest bidder. As such, they operate at the lowest margins possible, and the largest expense in a nursing home is always payroll.
    upload_2020-4-9_14-42-18.jpg

    So you go ahead and bash on nursing home employees. I'll make sure my grandchildren let your home's staff know how you really feel about them.

    Then there is the lethality of COVID-19:
    https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus-resource-center
    "Do adults younger than 65 who are otherwise healthy need to worry about COVID-19?

    Yes, they do. Though people younger than 65 are much less likely to die from COVID-19, they can get sick enough from the disease to require hospitalization. According to a report published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) in late March, nearly 40% of people hospitalized for COVID-19 between mid-February and mid-March were between the ages of 20 and 54. Drilling further down by age, MMWR reported that 20% of hospitalized patients and 12% of COVID-19 patients in ICUs were between the ages of 20 and 44.

    People of any age should take preventive health measures like frequent hand washing, physical distancing, and wearing a mask when going out in public, to help protect themselves and to reduce the chances of spreading the infection to others."

    So, even though statistically younger people aren't as likely to die, they still often require hospitalization. THAT takes medical staff to care for them, staff who are already overworked taking care of the older, more medically fragile those people infected through their insensitivity, carelessness, arrogance, and ignorance.

    So, take this information to heart, and the next time you piss up a rope make sure to keep your mouth closed.

    And wash your fucking hands.

    EVERY morning I get updates on everything Covid, from my medical director. He’s over the premier Covid hospital in Texas. I just got done with a 2 hour webinar on info., up to date to today. I can’t legally post the updated documentation I receive EVERY DAY. I’m not linking shit, nor am I pulling it out of my ass.

    Boom. You wanted facts folks... how about those, straight FACTS! Legally I’d have to kill you if you knew what I know about covid-19.

    That's the vaguest "I know more than you" I've ever read. It still means nothing to me.

    I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so you can believe me when I tell you that Covid-19 is from the 5g towers going up everywhere. I read it on facebook.

    Never mind that there are cases in countries with zero 5g. That doesnt mean anything. Microwaves transmit it, thats why it travels so far so fast. Microwaves are infinite.

    ^ I gotta call BS.

    The Holiday Inn Expresses are closed.

    Or is that just a front so that they can hold their secret meetings in the Holiday Inn Express banquet room?

    Maybe it was a smuggled 5g capable phone? They still have the ability to spread the virus if they were ever on an active 5g network. The government is trying to round them up but its hard ok a lot of countries. The only good news is they only have a 5-10’ infection radius.

    Depends where you are. We are in quarantine, but hotels are open. That’s the media that’s lying to make you feel safe.
