Basically anyone asking for higher pay is being told they're immature and not being compassionate.
It's doing me in a treat, lovely. Can't compare to the US because I have no real facts but NHS workers in the UK are being asked to go into work and tend to patients without gowns, or at best to reuse them. It's damned tragic. If this all blows over I hope we learn from this and prepare for the next possibility.

You've been riding the coatails of day-to-day propagated idiots Splinty, and I've been PREDICTING, and BEING RIGHT.
I'm sleeping my way to the middle.

Hey, when you come back from your breather, can you reconcile that guys video and your current feeling with your old ones.

I mean it. You were somebody who felt that this virus was a real threat early on. I might be paraphrasing but it was something along the lines "50 times more dangerous than flu" and you posted regularly about how fast it spread. Essentially it's really dangerous.

You seem to still feel that and We have been agreeing with each other and several threads about said danger.

Now there's a video that you're posting that essentially says none of that's true. The whole thing's fake the virus doesn't spread really fast it's not dangerous.

How did those two opinions go together? I thought maybe you've just changed your mind which is fine. But here you're saying that you still were right. So how is it a hoax and being overblown but also you still feel the same way?

Come on. Okay, I did a police course with them which is one of my favourite things I've ever done and Norfolk is my favourite place I've ever lived but come on. How can anyone not like this?

No! It's fun! And seriously, the citizen police course I did, they did that out of their spare time. I loved it, they were all such nice people. I got to know them all so well, they were genuinely nice people.

This is troubling. I could definitely use my roots doing but I'm definitely able to do my own nails ffs.

Brian Kemp faces resistance over move to reopen economy - CNNPolitics

I kind of understand gyms

"Kemp, a Republican and staunch ally of President Donald Trump, on Monday announced Georgia would allow nail salons, massage therapists, bowling alleys and gyms to open Friday. In-person church services can resume. And restaurants and movie theaters can open Monday. His order also bars cities from imposing their own restrictions on businesses."

What is the "reopening" looking like in your state?

Here's a list also:
Here's when all 50 states plan to reopen after coronavirus restrictions

Kind of looking through Trump's federal guidelines:
"Phase one" calls on employers to telework where possible, return to work in phases, minimize non-essential travel and make accommodations for the vulnerable populations within the workforce. It calls on all vulnerable individuals to "shelter in place," and when in public, all individuals should continue social distancing. Large venues, including churches and gyms, can open if they operate under “strict” social distancing and sanitation protocols. Bars should remain closed. Elective surgeries can resume.

However, a critical piece to this is the "gating criteria" that all states and regions should achieve before they can move on to phase one. This includes a "downward trajectory" of reported "influenza-like illnesses," "covid-like syndromic cases" and "documented cases" or "positive tests as a percent of total tests" within a 14-day period, as well as the ability for hospitals to "treat all patients without crisis care" and have a "robust testing program in place for at-risk healthcare workers, including emerging antibody testing."

In "phase two," non-essential travel for employers can resume. Schools and organized youth activity can reopen. Bars can operate with diminished standing room occupancy. Large venues can continue under “moderate” social distancing protocols.

The third phase says all these venues -- bars, gyms and large venues -- can reopen with “limited” social distancing and “standard” sanitation. Employers can resume “unrestricted staffing of worksites,” so employees can physically return to work. The final phase also reintroduces visits to senior care facilities and hospitals.

It's interesting the choices for spelled out venues. Gyms warrant a special mention? Where are we at on hair cuts for instance?

If you are not working right now, where do you fall into your states'/federal plan?

Speaking of TikTok, Trumps senile antibiotic rant is trending.

I cringe when I see morons using masks like that, natural selection will kill em off.

Besides being immune compromised, that dude is clearly mentally compromised.

I'm pretty excited for their full show. they have been doing different festivals and conventions and their coverage is hilarious

Shinkicker @Shinkicker the guy that does you ABGs says you're imagining it
He is welcome to come here and help me figure out what is really wrong with these patients then.

Btw, our ICU is now all covid positive except one patient. But they say we have peaked and should see a decrease. It appears they were right on the mark with the peak timing so I'm praying they are correct about this, too.

But yeah, he's full of shit. He just hasn't seen any so it can't be real.

Just wedges under the hips when prone.

Prone is better. Position (due to shape of the lungs) makes the body use different areas of the lungs that may not be so effected. Some great vids out there to explain why. Here's a quick one that I liked.

Lukewarm Carl @Willthiswork

We learned by patient number two there is more to this.

It's a bit more in depth (a lot more) but I can send you the protocol if your interested.

Splinty @Splinty sparkuri @sparkuri
You guys seem to be at odds, and its affecting the community. Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken can't sleep at night with all your yelling and screaming. He blames himself.

You should both sit down and take a long, hard look at yourselves and ask these 5 difficult questions
The only thing worse than having a friendship in trouble is to have a friendship in trouble and be in denial about it.

Considering that at least one definition of friendship is that the security and well-being of your friend is as significant to you as your own security and well-being, then would you say that, based on results, you behave in a way that reflects that you are a friend with your friend? Why?

Using that same definition, is your friend a friend to you? Why?

Knowing what you now about your friendship, would you still get involved with the same person if you had to do it all over again? Why?

If you could break off your friendship or get a divorce from your friend right now without any inconvenience, legal costs, or embarrassment, without any undue hardship, would you do it?
