Me too! I’m also sick of watching nurses bitch about having to work with the patients. It’s your job! Shut up and get in there. Have I ever heard of a firefighter complain that the building is on fire and it’s too dangerous? Not once.
There is more than enough PPE available. I'm in healthcare in one of the busiest COVID zones in Florida. It's not an issue. I'm absolutely convinced all the videos you see of doctors doing crazy shit like wearing garbage bags are completely fake and I won't believe otherwise until I see it in person.
Firefighter going into a building where their gear depletes over time. They are low on water. And there's more fires coming in every day they must go to. And they have to do it 12 hours a day. The fire is blowing on them too. Then when they go home they risk igniting their family members without knowing. So when they do get home they are concerned about being near their loved ones. And while they're in there they see people die from the fire and many others can't breath. The whole time the entire world is talking about how dangerous the fire is to be around and the rest of the world stays in their house while they fight the fires.
I am by no means downplaying firemen and women, but you're comparing apples to oranges. If a nurse wants to bitch about how much it sucks to be a nurse right now so be it.
Ps edit: most firefighters would probably have no issue with doing what I described above.
My comment was not directed to you personally, so if that's what came across, I apologize.
My comment is directed to nurses, truckers, or anyone who can't handle the extra workload without complaining publicly or without virtue signaling their need to be worshipped as heroes. If they can't handle it, they should leave their profession because they don't have the necessary dedication.
I have zero respect for people who won't step up in the face of a crisis. It is un-American.
Thankfully, most nurses, truckers, and other critical functions (including our President and his team) are selflessly and tirelessly working to save our country. These people have my utmost respect.
My response to you was an overreaction, I just woke up when I wrote it. I was wrong. I apologise.
I just don't like seeing the comments about being sick of the "health care worker praise" (I know you didn't say that, the original person did) it gets me fired up.
Never has our nation been through something like this. Treating patients without proper protective gear and protocols is not what they should have to do but they do it anyways. It's no wonder why nurses (mostly female) would be worried. To my knowledge there is not an abundance of nurses not showing up to work, so who cares if they want to bitch about how much it sucks. It probably sucks more than any other job in the world right now. Patients are not always cozy thankful sick people. They can be degenerate assholes.
My wife had a covid patient spitting all over the room the other day on purpose, and she is the one who has to go in there. And she does. I had china virus myself (made in china, it was weak against my American immune system) We have to worry about our daughter getting it, and haven't been around our parents in nearly a month. So when someone says they are sick of the health care worker praise (not you) it pisses me off. A nurse coworker of hers, 9 months pregnant, tested positive and had to get induced and deliver the baby without her husband in the room. They go through so much shit, so when someone on the internet, especially on .win where I don't expect that nonsense, starts banging on their keyboard saying they are sick of healthcare praise, it pisses me off.
I think we're on the same page. My wife is a nursing student and two of my best friends are nurses, so I generally have total respect for the people in the profession. The nurses (and truckers, etc) who are currently saving our asses by stepping up and performing their work should be commended for standing up for their country in a time of need. People like your wife are what makes America great.
What I don't like are the people who are whining because they have to work long hours now that the country needs them (which will end up being temporary), or the people not-so-subtly letting everyone on Facebook know they are a nurse so they can use this crisis to reap a bunch of virtue signaling praise.
I was also a bit irritable when I wrote my previous comment because I'd just read some horrific comment written by a student on my wife's nursing school FB page. It was a long winded fantasy scenario about "having to treat some idiot who went to the beach" and hoping he'd have to go through the whole horrible ordeal but survive with lung damage after being ventilated only to be told his whole family had died because of his stupidity. The sanctimonious reek of it and the person's concept that there are patients who deserve to suffer made me want to puke. It's disgusting that someone who thinks like that would even become a nurse.
I hope your family will be safe. While I'm generally in the camp of the country getting back to business with everyone taking extreme care not to get infected or infect others, I'm well aware of the danger of the virus. My close friend in Seattle lost both of his parents to China virus last month. My elderly parents live up there and I've been begging them to stay home until this has passed.

Trying following the fucking context:
Truly sick of the "health care worker" worship right now. +92
That and grocery store workers!! +10
So I added the other group of workers that are getting a lot of praise in the current environment for the fucking work they are doing. Along with the exposure of the apparently overrated hospital and grocery workers that are subjecting themselves to a virus in order to keep dumb fucks like you with staffed hospitals and stocked shelves, I asked if those people that drive the trucks ALSO fall into the easy trashing that people on this site were gleefully up-voting.
Apparently you aren't intelligent enough to have caught that, "jack", and eaisly answered my question as to the level of hypocrisy people here openly engage in.
So let's see if you can "explain yourself out of that one".
What do you think you've been doing the last few posts
Apparently you aren't intelligent enough
You already inadvertently called yourself a dumb fuck (highlighted in my last comment)... ask yourself: why would I, a stable genius, care about what a self- described dumb fuck thinks regarding other people's intelligence?
So let's see if you can "explain yourself out of that one"
Listen if you don't want to accept that what I told you about why people were downvoting your bullshit, then don't. I didn't downvote or report you. However, if you want to get into some more psychotic kvetching, I will block you
I suppose I missed the part where truck drivers were being praised ...or any of them publicly bitching about working... ...or the part where the previous commenters called the other groups "hicks" ...or similar
keep dumb fucks like you with staffed hospitals and stocked shelves
Imagine 9/11 rescuers dancing and making fucking tiktoks at ground zero. I don’t care if you did this while on your lunch break. Have some damn respect and self awareness.
It is really unconscionable that people cannot get ordinary medical / dental care!
This travesty alone should force reopening, like today!
Like being conditioned to wait wait wait for socialized medicine.
First three weeks, no ordinary appointments, then SIX weeks, and some are calling for more??
it's bc of the shortage of ppe/masks/gloves, more than anything. i had a re-scheduled dental appt. last week, from mid-march when this started breaking. i'm not sure i'd want to be a dentist/hygienist and be up in people's faces right now, not without masks and shields.
dear dv trolls: do fuck right off. it's my opinion, to which i am entitled.
Amazing, right? Someone messed with the replenishment supply chain. Hmmmm.
PPE and masks are not rocket science. In the past six weeks you and I could have set up a factory. Just saying. ; )
Just saying, it is time for that reason to be done with, now that the peak has passed.
My niece a hygentist is laid off along with tens of thousands of other medical personnel and has no income coming in. Due to changing jobs she is not eligible for unemployment, so the states are saying.
Gotta be a lot of free time to choreograph these things, multiple takes because somebody screws up a move, etc. I use to fuck around during my years in the hospital field, but we weren’t ‘overwhelmed with a global pandemic’ at the time...
Imagine being a busy healthcare worker, getting a little down-time in the hospital, and then some faggot says you have to rehearse for a coordinated dance video. You don't want to do it, but do it anyway because of politics. Your supervisor is a virtue-signalling ass that will ruin your chance for promotion if you don't dance for him like a trained monkey. They are wielding power over these poor people, but not to improve work performance, or something else important. They are doing it to feed their fragile ego with internet 'likes'.
If you are the person organizing shit like this, just know that there are tons of coworkers silently seething over your retarded histrionic-narcissistic-BPD level of attention-seeking faggotry. If that is you, do the world a favor, and STFU for once in your annoying life.
It's absurd. I have friends who work at two different hospitals in the state who have had days from their schedules dopped because there is no need for them because bed count is well below normal.
My wife works in IT at the local hospital. She says the ICU has less patients right now then before the pandemic. Also they are hemorrhaging money because they cancelled all elective surgeries and routine doctor visits are all done via Zoom. They can only bill 1/2 the costs for video visits.
We are a few hours East of Seattle. So we were bracing for the worse. It really hasn’t happened. Most of the people testing positive recover at home. So the Local health care system is not currently over taxed. My wife has been working a lot though because she had to setup and train the doctors on how to do online appointments.
The hospital where I work is about 60% empty, so empty they have had to reduce staffing. No fear, the people they send home are still getting paid. This exaggerated event gets more bizarre every day that passes. We have now only seen 2 patients who were positive for CHINA VIRUS and presently have zero. The two we had went home within days of arriving. So much for the GREAT PANDEMIC we were in for.
This is like a leftist showing a photo of a safe neighborhood with kids playing outside and wondering why did some of you go out and buy a bunch of ammo and extra guns for the societal breakdown and looting sprees that didn't happen.
Be damn happy that we were grossly over-prepared instead of the "healthcare system collapse that people on our side were screaming we were heading towards in "two weeks" back in Feb and March....that most are now pretending never happened.
Truly sick of the "health care worker" worship right now.

I have firefighters in my family. (Retired) they complain about alot of things but never heard em complain about work

actually, we do hear it all the time.
As a health care worker, I don't want it. I want to work. I want my hours. We're rotating being cut because we're empty.
That and grocery store workers!!
You can go ahead and explain yourself out of that one jack

Lurk more you psychotic faggot

Should I go on, or are you going to still play stupid, you "really dumb bastard"?
Oh you missed this part again?
I replied using a similar example of snobby casual dismal of these people as just some "grunts" that should just STFU and SERVE us.
Agreed, I certainly appreciate them, but its time to tone it down a notch.
These videos are kind of insulting.
REACHING LEVELS OF SOY NEVER BEFORE DEEMED POSSIBLE
Imagine 9/11 rescuers dancing and making fucking tiktoks at ground zero. I don’t care if you did this while on your lunch break. Have some damn respect and self awareness.
I think we know who all of these nurses will be voting for. Democrats.
Not to mention all the nurses, docs etc. laid off and no one can get treatment unless they are covid.
Mayo Clinic system in MN furloughed 20,000 during a "massive" pandemic
Fucking lol, way to redpill the healthcare industry
I do not Reddit, it is China and China is asshoe
Hahaha.
...oh.

We gave ourselves the great depression, because of these "overwhelmed" healthcare "workers".
Where are all of the families that lost loved ones screaming and crying on the news? News loves to play to emotions. Where are the victims
I'm sure that's coming. As soon as any kind of a "reopen" plan is put out, those that only take and destroy will be using any negative they can.
The worse part of it all is these videos just aren't good.
Very low energy.
They're too stupid to know they are embarrassing themselves.
but but they need their likes and constant stream of attention
If we have to be laid off, they should too. Maybe it'll actually get someone thinking with their fucking head.
Gotta be a lot of free time to choreograph these things, multiple takes because somebody screws up a move, etc. I use to fuck around during my years in the hospital field, but we weren’t ‘overwhelmed with a global pandemic’ at the time...

Here let me do a video of my guys.. Oh wait theyre all busy working. But we aren't essential. Lmfao.

I don't even think this is the time to be playing on tiktok at work. Bad form
Omg... too funny!
Aw, I was hoping they were gonna do Thriller.
These guys can't even dance.
More virtue signalling over nada. Fu king off at work you must have a lot of time on our hands. Lay offs coming
This is like a leftist showing a photo of a safe neighborhood with kids playing outside and wondering why did some of you go out and buy a bunch of ammo and extra guns for the societal breakdown and looting sprees that didn't happen.
Be damn happy that we were grossly over-prepared instead of the "healthcare system collapse that people on our side were screaming we were heading towards in "two weeks" back in Feb and March....that most are now pretending never happened.
What are the point of these dance videos? Why do hcp think these are a good idea?
