  1. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Rereading my own post, it sure sounds like I was ? It is possible that there was a subliminal component involved, affecting how I chose to describe my hypothetical hospital

  2. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t hate them. But I do find them problematic. Because deciding to not get vaccinated, doesn’t only impact them, but the society that they are a part of. I wish it was as simple as to...

  3. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Don’t you think that likely varies from person to person? I don’t think everyone posting is motivated by the exact same feelings or thought processes. But I agree with previous posters, I don’t...

  4. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I like this. I also want this hospital to be located on the opposite side of a very high mountain range from my own location. Preferrably a high mountain range with permanently closed passes due to...

  5. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I fail to see your logic. While I do agree that social media has had a huge impact on how a lot of people think and feel about the pandemic and the vaccines, it seems completely illogical for you to...

  6. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was specifically referring to posters. That means online. Not real life. In real life you most often know who are talking to and is a whole other thing. What do you make of a poster who...

  7. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry, me again. I really don’t think you understand what motivates me to post. I suspect that might also apply to what motivates some other posters who also express disdain, sadness,...

  8. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly JKL33, I think you understood what BostonFNP meant the first time they used the term pro-disease. I know you are intelligent and I was surprised that you couldn’t guess what the term could...

  9. Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    An individual can not achieve herd immunity on their own. They can take steps to promote their own health, but battling an infectious disease in a pandemic setting, does require that all members of...

  10. Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have no idea why someone thought it a good idea to only report cases, hospitalizations and deaths once a week, instead of daily in the middle of a pandemic. I enjoyed this article because the...

  11. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hi there and welcome.. Which of the Covid-19 vaccines used in the U.S., is the one that you are referring to as the vaccine? I suspect that they might get full approval sometime this fall,...

  12. Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    macawake replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You’re most welcome ? Even though I chose it because it offered a good general explanation of R0, I must say that I found the parts about the measles R0 quite

  13. Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    macawake replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There’s still much that we don’t know about the Lambda variant, but I don’t think there will necessarily be a linear increase in transmissibility (and hope that there won’t be). I could be...

  14. Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    macawake replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m sure many already know this, but since media often reports Covid’s R0, I’d like to talk a bit about the term. When I say ”a bit”, that’s probably a lie. I suspect that this post might...

  15. Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    macawake replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I took some liberties with the editing. Great video by the way ? And still I like you even when you’re being a pessimist ? Oh, I keep my eye on the entire Greek alphabet. Unfortunately there...

  16. Delta Variant as Contagious as Chicken Pox

    macawake replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We could all use some good news ? I am actually quite hopeful. We have a long way to go, especially globally, but there is definitely light at the end of the

  17. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is HIV an infectious respiratory disease? Are all people with HIV infections homosexual males? Is HIV easily or commonly transmitted from a healthcare professional to a

  18. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OP, I liked your post because I empathize with your frustration, not because I think that people who don’t believe Covid is real and who refuse to be vaccinated, should be made to wear a tattoo or...

  19. Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    macawake replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is in my opinion, so incredibly disrespectful. That person isn’t demonstrating any understanding or empathy for what you’ve experienced. It’s a pity you can’t offer them the grand tour of...

  20. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is that a typo? I do not believe that Robert Malone has won a Nobel prize. If you think he has, which year do you think it was? Or do you just think that this doctor is unusually noble? If so, why..?...

  21. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, not everything you have stated is factual. Can you link to a credible source that supports your claim that one to two years of testing isn’t enough to establish whether a vaccine is safe?...

  22. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    macawake replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That would actually have been a very intelligent question if Conservatism, Hinduism and Strawberry Daiquiris were infectious respiratory diseases, responsible for killing millions

  23. Future Nurse with a Purpose

    macawake replied to Nursing_Student's topic in General Nursing

    Hello again OP, I’ve been thinking some more about your post. I want to be careful about how I word this, because my goal isn’t to dampen your enthusiasm, but rather to try to help you have more...

  24. Future Nurse with a Purpose

    macawake replied to Nursing_Student's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Nursing_student and welcome to AN ? I’m not sure how old you are but I sense some youthful exuberance in your post? I don’t think I’ve ever felt so passionate about anything that...

  25. Nursing Profession Reputation

    macawake replied to LasercopyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    If one sex (males) automatically makes more than the other sex (female), doesn’t that result in a power imbalance, that risks making the sex with the lower salary dependent on the one with the...
