  1. Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I personally wouldn’t use words like genocide. I seldom find language like that very productive when having a discussion or disagreement. There is no easy solution to the pandemic. I can’t see...

  2. Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What made the meat packing plants go kaput? Of course no one would accept 80% unemployment, ”Corona-obsessed”, or not. What do you think would happen if a country didn’t have quarantines or...

  3. Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interesting. I’m not sure exactly who the Corona-obsessed” are? Especially since the person who coined the phrase in these threads appears more obsessed than most? Any way.. How do you reckon that...

  4. Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While I agree that having the rally was highly ill-advised, I think that calling it a ”murder show” is quite hyperbolic. In my opinion it just makes the debate we’re having here even more...

  5. Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    macawake replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hmm.. I’m starting to wonder if you are actually scared and this denial thing is some kind of coping mechanism? Yesterday afternoon you were claiming that there were ”heaps and heaps” of...

  6. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

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

    You’re wrong. This has already been explained to you but for some reason it doesn’t appear to register. The spreading out of deaths over a longer period of time is just the ”by-product” of...

  7. 3 things I'll ignore on TV

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    You must be ? And you didn’t even know it

  8. 3 things I'll ignore on TV

    macawake replied to Emergent's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    1) Hmm.. Living room interviews? We don’t see any of those in my neck of the woods, but since I hate bad audio I reckon I agree with you on those ? 2) Don’t have those either, but anyone...

  9. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

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

    You lost me. Why should we judge a posters’ motivations based on a thread they or thousands of other posters didn’t start? You don’t know for certain that OP wouldn’t think a Biden rally...

  10. If Tulsa becomes a hotzone, I won't be volunteering there

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

    Honestly Emergent, why keep bumping this thread to the top of the page when it’s such a yawn/whatever? I wasn’t going to reply, but the thread keeps popping up ? If someone wonders about OP’s...

  11. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The reason I only quoted the second paragraph was that it wasn’t apparent to me that the first and third paragraphs were directly linked to the one I quoted and replied to. For context I felt I had...

  12. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Numenor, I do think I do see how this works. It seems to me that you are aiming for a bit of guilt reduction with the help of the Just-world hypothesis. Do you have any evidence that supports your...

  13. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    I agree, heron. I think it’s a deliberate strategy aimed at derailing the thread and bring in the moderators. Predictable and sad. And quite

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

    Oh dear. Perhaps an antacid might help..

  15. Coronavirus Second Wave?

    macawake replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was about to write some more stuff in the previous post, but took too long doing other things.. so I’ve timed out.. again... Well, I was just about to ask if perhaps you don’t consider millions...

  16. Coronavirus Second Wave?

    macawake replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This seems overly melodramatic to me. We’re not going back to the Stone Age. Not from this virus anyway. Where is this monochromatic view coming from? You appear convinced that the ”all or...

  17. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    she244, I don’t understand. Are you saying that people turned hateful and called you a racist for just saying that all lives matter? And that you almost lost your job because of that simple...

  18. Coronavirus Second Wave?

    macawake replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Covid-19/SARS-CoV-2 isn’t exactly like the flu. Is it an annual occurrence to have refrigerated trucks acting as makeshift morgues parked outside hospitals? Is that something you normally see? This...

  19. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    HiddencatBSN, I wholeheartedly agree with you. The discussion needs to take place and while I think a polite tone is preferable and often more constructive, actually having the discussion takes...

  20. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    No, unfortunately I’m not in the least surprised by the polarization evident in many threads. What you’re seeing here, is simply a reflection of what’s happening in society. Also, you guys are...

  21. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That was supposed to say *math*, not match. It’s a pain in the you know what to have autocorrect in another language than the one you’re typing in. Any way.. I’ve come this far, might as well...

  22. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @juniper222 Thank you for posting the link. Daisy made the claim that studies have shown that black persons in certain areas are more prone to violence. She asked the question if police are racist...

  23. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    On a more serious note. I don’t understand why this thread has turned so partisan. Why are we talking about Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Democratic social policies or even Trump? Granted, the Justice...

  24. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Daisy 4RN, you do write the most peculiar things. (Quote function’s acting up, but this is one of your rather strange claims) - -> Why don’t you link the criminological research that shows...

  25. Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    macawake replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ? Cannot fail.. Without fail? Why thank you kind Sir. We do try. Glad you think that we’re successful at arguing our viewpoints in a logical manner. Truth be told, I wasn’t expecting the
