    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    pixierose replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If one more person states, “it’s violence against all races!” or “brutality against all colors!” ... you just (yet again) outlined the problem. It’s not about COVID anymore, it’s not...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    pixierose replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You really are a black and white, no shades of gray kind of guy ... aren’t ya? I take it that no matter how many links anyone posts from any reputable post, you won’t read any of them ... you’ll...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    “The current study found that, consistent with prior research, black victims were substantially over-represented relative to the U.S. population, comprising 34% of victims but only 13% of Americans...

    Did social distancing collapse during the protests over the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis?

    pixierose replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/05/31/man-with-bow-is-expected/ So I looked it up again (as days pass, we always get more of a story, don’t we?). Not a looter, but definitely not a passive...

    Uh, OK. As a White girl ... nope, probably don’t have as much to fear from the police. https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6080222/...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The issue is that they do have their hands on the wheel. Thing is: as a white person, I don’t have to worry about being shot. Wouldn’t even cross my radar. Shouldn’t have to; but more than this...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    pixierose replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Racism is a public health issue. “Certain” members of the Reopen America crowd are indeed “covidiots.” ... “I need a haircut!” versus “I can’t breath” - Dare I say the two are not

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    There it is! The non black incidents rarely making the news blah blah blah. Here are some tidbits: * Cops may shoot and kill twice as many white people as black, but there about six times as many...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    pixierose replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’ve seen a lot already starting to address it (including the much bedeviled CNN)... Lets not make this a partisan divided thread. The political board is that way

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    After last evening’s fiasco with Trump ordering troops to tear gas and shoot rubber bullets into a crowd of peaceful protesters at 1830 so he could stand in front of a church ... there is no right...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    But my whole point? You can’t build a community if you have to worry constantly about being shot by the people who are supposed to protect you. So many communities are built under White privilege to...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Uh, OK? I’m a White girl and I agree: we certainly can’t experience this the same way. I won’t even try. That’s why I won’t denounce the looting. I work in an inner city hospital so ......

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It’s a very whitewashed perception, looting. There’s a lot of protesters that don’t agree with looting, and while I agree, I think this (from 2015) is an interesting and heartbreaking...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I read an article, and a quote stuck out - “People wanna say we’re destroying our own neighborhoods, we don’t own nothing out here!” The Civil Rights movement lost its war despite winning a...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    pixierose replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just commented on another thread, but this is literally life and death for POC. Racism is a public health issue. A man was killed, pretty much execution-style. We will see surges. But I get it....

    Can't find my mask that matches my outfit!

    pixierose replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OMG I LOVE those button ear saver headbands. I made myself a whole bunch and my ears thank me profusely. Plus they’re in fun colors to match my tops. Granted, no one can really see it with the papr...

    Riots in Minneapolis

    pixierose replied to TomPaine's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Amen. Hence, the damn silence. Every time it happens, oh the thoughts and prayers and “change.” But nothing.ever.changes. And it happens again. It’s damn powerful to see protestors take a knee....

    Did social distancing collapse during the protests over the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis?

    pixierose replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Think about this statement: “rioting and looting isn’t the way to disprove negative stereotypes against Black people.” There’s been a heck of a lot of white people rioting and looting. Hell,...

    Did social distancing collapse during the protests over the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis?

    pixierose replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Who’s got time for social distancing when POC are getting murdered ... in plain view. AGAIN. “A riot is the language of the unheard” - a quote made by MLKJ more than half a century ago. Half a...

    Did social distancing collapse during the protests over the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis?

    pixierose replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You mean like these guys? Or the ladies? They don’t look very silent to me. I can keep going? And if you consider me sanctimonious in protecting my fellow man, so be it. As an almost cancer survivor...

    Leave of Absence?

    pixierose replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    No FMLA yet. I’m doing OK, and have a strong support system. I work with incredible people, and my NM’s are fantastic (my ED, and now my COVID floor). My husband, he’s amazing. My in laws,...

    Could the police learn something from nurses?

    pixierose replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve been witness to and have intervened with security responses that have been highly aggressive with patient behaviors. In one particular incident, the security officer didn’t even “see” me;...
