my son had to go to his doctor office to get his required shots for being 11 yrs old.. we got there and there was a nurse posted outside and they did a heat scan on each person, nurse scanned us all and we had to wear a mask and was given a post it with a number on it to give the nurse inside.. once inside the nurse who scanned us went inside and another patient with her baby walked in to the office without being scanned and getting a fucking post it.. the inside nurse/clerk said nothing.. since there was a strict policy on only one parent going with the child i went to my truck to wait.. meanwhile it was getting close to lunch time and i can see all the nurses and doctors exit and pooling by one spot.. several of them were not wearing masks and hugging and high five each other.. ffs.. what was the point of getting heat scanned and wearing a mask when the medical front line can't ensure it's own frontline safety..

Texas instituted a medical board rule that I must wear a mask while we're seeing patients and the patient must wear a mask.

There is no clarification on this.

Seems fine on the surface but...
What if the patient refuses to wear a mask? The rule says that it's my license that will be dinged.

Are they allowed to take the mask off for a proper ear nose and throat exam?

This morning I saw several babies. Mom was wearing a mask but the baby was not wearing a mask. The baby is my patient. What do I do?

Interestingly the ruling does not clarify a procedure mask. It just says a mask. It seems a Halloween mask meets the definition.

As someone from a southern state, this kind of dumb shit (ambiguously worded regulations) is sadly all too common in the South.

At least someone had the balls to backup his claim. That's 5 year old data but I'll allow it

"In total day, CNN’s median viewer age was 61 compared to 67 for Fox. But in primetime the difference was starker; CNN’s average was 59 while Fox News averaged 68."
No newsflash that only older people watch traditional media. Who in their right minds watches CNN, Fox, BBC garbage in 2020? We still pretending it's factual news? They are politicians with a press-card and an ambitious agenda.

Fox News is by far the worst of them

The coronavirus can be found in semen, raising questions of whether it can be sexually transmitted, new research says
  • A new study from Chinese scientists found coronavirus particles in the semen of 16% of the male patients studied.

  • The virus was present in semen from both patients who had active infections and those who had recovered.

  • The researchers aren't sure yet whether the virus can be spread through sexual contact.

Coronavirus: France's first known case 'was in December'
So his kids were tested positive too, but his wife wasn't.
Has he not been french kissing her and sleeping next to her.
Maybe all fucking tests are full of shit.

Coronavirus News: Staten Island nurse accused of stealing credit card from patient dying of COVID-19

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A nurse on Staten Island is accused of stealing and using the credit card of a dying COVID-19 patient.

Danielle Conti, 43, a nurse at Staten Island University Hospital, is facing several charges -- including grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and petit larceny.

Police say she used the dying patient's credit card to buy gas and groceries. She allegedly stole the card while making her rounds at the hospital.

The victim, who lived on Staten Island, died on April 12.

A relative noticed the unauthorized $60.23 charge while going through the victim's finances after his death and called police on April 28.

The hospital released a statement:

"Danielle Conti has been temporarily suspended and faces termination in response to the felony charges. We are working closely with the law enforcement authorities and the hospital is conducting its own investigation. Ms. Conti has been an employee since 2007."
