  1. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’m not sure who you feel is being disrespectful? Personally, I feel that people do not deserve more than the same level of respect that they habitually afford others. Anything more than that...

  2. Nurse Saturation

    macawake replied to implathszombie9's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps her username is having a subliminal effect on you? ? If there is a grand total of 100 people licensed in profession A in a certain geographic area and there is an expected demand of 100...

  3. Debate prep for both sides

    macawake replied to hppygr8ful's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    When I see posts like yours I always wonder if the poster is telling a deliberate lie or if they simply haven’t bothered to look for evidence that’s easily accessible and that proves the claim...

  4. 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US (so far)

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

    Post about Covid-19 on a nursing forum, where so many of us have witnessed the cost of the ongoing pandemic firsthand, you will get heartfelt replies ? I admit to feeling less than charitable when a...

  5. 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US (so far)

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

    Are you suggesting that the significant excess mortality we’ve seen in many countries on different continents starting around March 2020 is caused by people for some unknown reason starting to die...

  6. Living with a semi anti-vax husband.

    macawake replied to reedy22's topic in General Nursing

    Does your husband really want his immune system to learn how to fight off tetorifice the natural way? How much does he understand about the various infections/diseases that vaccines protect us...

  7. Checking visitor's vitals

    macawake replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is semi-ancient ? Any way.. When I read this I’m happy that I do my nursing in a country where I don’t feel I have to base my decisions on fear (of being sued). This entire matter...

  8. DOJ names New York City, Portland, Seattle 'anarchist jurisdictions' that could lose federal funding

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Sadly this is exactly what I expect from Trump and Barr. We all know how sanctuary cities have been a thorn in the Trumpian flank since day one. I wonder if New York and Washington state are...

  9. 200,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US (so far)

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

    I’m not sure what you mean that we all know that SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus? I don’t think that the virus is airborne in the classic sense (think measles). While there is still a lot that we...

  10. How things could go very wrong in America: Trump contradicts CDC Director over vaccines and masks.

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I watched the interview where he said this. What does this stupid sentence even mean? Let’s for one minute forget about the obvious lack of empathy for those who have died from Covid infections, how...

  11. CA Gov. Newsom On Wildfire Devastation: Impact Of Climate Change Cannot Be Denied

    macawake replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I didn’t miss the title. And it was for that exact reason that I expressed dismay that you chose the partisan Democrat-bashing route. OP didn’t blame Trump. The title mentioned the impact of...

    macawake replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Wattsupwiththat??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_Up_With_That%3F Is it accurate to say that you are quoting a blog that promotes climate change denial as support for your opinion that...

  13. Trump Health Aide Falsely Alleges Conspiracies and Warns of Armed Revolt

    macawake replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    macawake replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The west coast is currently battling multiple devastating fires. Many people are losing their homes. Some are dying. Why did you feel the need to introduce partisan politics into this thread? Must...

  16. getting bodily fluids on scrubs

    macawake replied to sami rognlie's topic in General Nursing

    Neatness? I’m sure that many patients appreciate a healthcare provider who doesn’t look like a complete slob. However I think the risk that healthcare workers pose to patients when they wear...

  17. Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

    macawake replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    I’m Scandinavian and you never see people in scrubs anywhere outside of a hospital/healthcare facility here. Healthcare professionals don’t buy there own scrubs. They are provided and laundered at...

  18. 2020-2021 influenza vaccine

    macawake replied to JVBT's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m not really sure what kind of information you’re looking for? I plan on getting it later this fall, as I do every year. Most of my coworkers, nurses and physicians, usually do as well. (It’s...

    macawake replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Tracking ICU hospitalizations and deaths is a much better way to track the impact of the pandemic than solely looking at PCR verified infections. But of course it’s also preferrable that the tests...

  21. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    macawake replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Most medical and epidemiological professionals around the globe believe that Covid-19 deaths are undercounted, not inflated. You’re definitely in a minority if you think the Covid related mortality...

  22. CDC states only 10,000 patients died DIRECTLY from Covid

    macawake replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Alternative viewpoints on hard scientific data are of no interest to me. I deal in facts. And only real facts. Alternative facts isn’t a thing despite some people trying to convince you otherwise....

    macawake replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I haven’t read your link because I have a good grasp of Covid-19 stats already and I don’t think your source has much of value to add. English is my fourth language but even I can easily see...

    macawake replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    macawake replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics
