  1. People are taught to use PPE properly otherwise. Where is this logic now? If the COVID-19 patient is contagious, therefore, a person who is directly taking care of the patient is mobilizing the virus, right? So, how do the COVID-19 caregivers protecting their community without proper protection? Are they isolated with the COVID-19 patients in order to control the viruses from spreading? I need some help to understand how exactly the hospitals control the transmission of this pandemic? Something is inconsistent. I find something is not right, or it's just me has a wild imagination.
  2. That's a tough situation for the healthcare workers where you literally put your life on the line for the others. I hope that you have a place to rest your head so you won't infect your family and friends.

  4. When they don't read the entire content, I can't control how their mind works. I'm not responsible for what's going in between their ears. That's how they function in other areas of their life. They can read this one https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/health-and-wellness-articles/why-do-so-many-people-avoid-the-flu-vaccine People, some of them don't learn the easy way.
  5. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/faq-flu-season-2019-2020.htm Who is protected more from flu viruses, the person who gets the flu shot or the person who doesn't get it and/or people who are sick? If only the healthcare workers get inoculated with flu vaccines, how are they really protecting patients from people like family and friends? Do nurses make sure that those visitors show proof of current flu shots when they visit their loved ones? That is ridiculous to attack certain group of people like only nurses and other staff circulating the patients. The way I understood it, the flu shot receivers will be protected or lessen problems associated with flu viruses if people catch those flu viruses. The Flu shot is not mandatory for everyone because it's still an option. I'm not anti flu vaccine. I didn't do it for patients in the past. It was for me to cope with a new environment. I took other vaccines for protection from potential threats. I'm just throwing what I have observed how people can have a tunnel vision against people who aren't accepting it, and how hypocritical that is.
  6. A flu shot helps primarily the person who acquires it, not you or me. But, there is this faulty thinking of humanity that if we all get the flu shot; therefore, we don't get flu. I didn't get it before; perhaps, I was asymptomatic. Heck, I didn't miss flu shots for the past 8 years. I was sick from the flu. Those who have a weak or immunocompromised system should or need to get a flu shot. Not all people who have flu shots are absolutely free from being carriers of flu viruses. Again, everyone should take a risk of getting flu shot, but there are many people argue that a flu shot will make them sick. All in all, we're carriers of diseases.
  7. I've been receiving flu shots since I relocated here in the US (14years). Flu was rare where I came from because it was tropics. I had no flu until recently. It wasn't fun being bed bound for a few days and was about two weeks recuperation. Weird though because I had no runny nose or anything... but dry cough, fever, muscle and joint pains. It still made me miserable. Now, I wonder if I want a gallbladder attack again for an hour or two weeks of flu.
  8. I would check the mortality without a flu shot first then compare it to having some.?
  9. That's tough in medical field. Perhaps, you find a place where flu is not a requirement or mandatory. If it's not possible, an MBA is one of the best careers, too, as long as, you stay out of the healthcare industry where flu shot is a must.
  10. Ever heard this quote? "If there is smoke, there is a fire."
  11. Thank you for correcting it. That's just terrible that nurses who are like that you're describing will try to destroy other nurses.
  12. Perhaps, the other medical professionals don't work as nurses and doctors. How about you share with these people which medical professions don't get abuse? Well, I just saw an RT being chewed by a pt. Probably, you should thank your profession for not being threatened each time you make a mistake. Or, are you dealing with patients who need a pat in the back at the back of your facility?
  13. Why is it so many abusive patients and others to American healthcare workers? Wait. For people, you're subjected to abuse. It seems prevalent that many healthcare workers deal with this kind of people. Why are these people are not afraid to express this behavior with nurses? Is this because they're women? How do they behave around male nurses or male caregivers? It's undeniably they are scared or worried, but I wonder if this behavior is consistent in other industrial democracies. Sorry to hear that.
  14. It's dangerous when people engage in sleep deprivation throughout their lifetime. I used to sleep less because I studied or partied after work, but I didn't engage in any illegal activity. So, I was good, babysat some people who were older than me.?. Nowadays, I'm in my 30s, I mind my sleep time. I stay up late if I have to. If it's for partying, I go back home and sleep.
  15. Your 250mg is already mixed in the 100cc or 100mL solvent.
