When you consider: *The expectations: that we expose ourselves and our families on the regular to care for others...many of whom won't even wear a freaking mask to help reduce our exposure *The lack of consistent PPE supplies in many facili...

We are up... not to where we were in the Spring...but we went from virtually covid free for almost 2 months to seeing it regularly again. I sadly don't think it is just a temporary blip...but am hoping with fingers and toes crossed.

If you can take the time...comment with your city/state and which answer you selected.

Are there still hot spots out there?? I feel (knock on wood) lucky that we just aren't seeing it anymore.

Trump administration ordered hospitals to bypass CDC with coronavirus data

Is anyone at all concerned that the leader of the free world...against all recommendations...is taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure...despite having high cholesterol? Or that a doctor felt OK prescribing such to the leader of the fr...

Maybe...but the font looked pretty small...was just the colored bars that were ginormous. Go figure.

Yes....yes it is... ? ...and anyone that can watch this and NOT think there is cause for concern has cognitive issues.

These are YOUR words...now...in August. Trump announced his personal off label use and sang this meds praises from the rooftops in mid May. I put this side by side with his refusal to wear a mask and social distance. If you can't see the issue wit...

Enough's been said here and since I'm not a provider this discourse apparently has no merit anyway.

Just gonna throw out that not everyone wants to do the care being discussed....and just because the program for licensing requires clinicals doesn't mean that bedside pt care can be mandated to one and all. Statistics is mandated for all...but it d...

Ooooh. Ouch....rofl. My point exactly. It's still available for "off label" use (which I'm well aware of...thanks)....so there's really no problem....RIGHT? Which means it's on the providers to determine if useful...and if they screw up by rushing...

Just to be clear...the topic here is not hydrochloroquinine (and if you're going to rant about a medication...get the med right). The topic was that a man who appears to have narcissistic personality disorder and less self restraint than a small chi...

OK...I can't leave it alone. The interview with Wallace was HORRIFYING. It's basic math....and this whole thing is absolutely surreal. Our patients are well and truly screwed on a national level if covid gets worse...and I expect it will. Would l...

That interview with Wallace?.... stick a fork in me...I'm done.

That wage is insane...covid orno-covid. Don't know where you are but if that's the norm...I'm sorry.

I visit my folks outside... and social distance. When I have to go into their home to help with something I wear a mask and basically have a Clorox wipe in each hand until I leave. Anything that I need to touch is with a wipe. I don't go in often....

He really hasn't...which is maybe why Trump is now distancing himself from the criticisms....ya think? The smear campaign that aimed to discredit Fauci via misrepresented reality has likely been determined to not have been such a bright idea.

We've had a few of those negatives turned positives over the last few weeks as well...but have thankfully managed to escape a fiasco with regard to spread ....well...one little fiasco...but we are not innundated here right now either...so it was mana...

That's exactly what is done during flu season in LTC and prisons....start with those at the highest risk....and is how I would expect a new vaccine to be distributed. Having said that... effectiveness is still unclear.

Am sorry. ? Please remember to practice some self care...it's going to be really important.

Oh wait ..and are we also not concerned that his adminstration has now ordered that Covid data statistics no longer be reported to the CDC and instead go to HHS? No? K... I personally think it's insane.

2 things:. 1) Henry Ford Health System has acknowledged limitations with their study 2) my issue was never the med but the audacity of someone pushing for it without any consideration for science, concerns or possible negative impact. Meds have been...

I'm with ya and I'm pretty sure I just learned how to block a user...so hopefully that will help me stop responding to nonsense posts.

I think you also don't know how the virus or surges work. Let's look at the number of deaths in Texas 3 weeks from now.
