It makes you wonder, doesn't it? I mean, some excellent news (conveniently delayed until post-election for max effect BTW) about vaccines and therapeutics, and you'd think if these were normal people, it might ... y'know, lift some spirits on here?Originally posted by Jeb2020 View Post
But no, same old same old. I've never seen a bunch so dedicated to clinging to their misery.
I mean, if the highlight of your life is 80,000 or so USCHO non-hockey posts, and the virus threatens your march to 100,000 sending you to the basement of your folks' pad ... that IS pretty sad.

People are leaving the profession. This was posted by one of the young nurses I know from a Nsg page. She is a traveling nurse- so was out in AZ, has been in a few places that were hot. She's stopped traveling. Pretty sure she is not working anywhere at present. Smart girl.Originally posted by Deutsche Gopher Fan View Post
"The mass exodus from bedside nursing will be of historic proportions" The 'Year of the Nurse & Midwife' has exhausted & demoralized far too many.
This was supposed to be a celebration year of the nursing profession. Instead we are dying, being put at risk, expected to work in horrible conditions taking care of people who are actively not taking care of themselves. It is not uncommon to run into people who make unwise choices that lead to bad outcomes for them and, in some circumstances, those around them. It is not usual to have large numbers of them putting themselves, those they are around and you, the nurse, at risk. Especially when you cannot remove yourself fromt eh danger when you go home. Even harder when they are out protesting they should have the right to do it and the Orange Menace is ginning them up.
The old nurses are far more resilient- the have the mindset that Nursing is a calling. They would do just about anything for a patient and they are loyal to the facility (even when being treated awfully). The newer generation has much less tolerance to that. They have (generally speaking) no loyalty to the facility. They will change jobs like underwear- no surprise- the facilities have no loyalty to them, try to avoid giving benefits, treat them as expendable. Not the kind of thing that will keep people laying their lives on the line.Comment

Nurses' working conditions reflect how our economy works.
The economy before capitalism was based on force. It was sex as rape.
Capitalism is based on mutual exploitation. That is better than what came before but it still means we treat each other as means rather than ends. We use each other, like resources. We dehumanize each other. It is sex as prostitution.
I don't know what comes next, or if we can get to an economy where we treat each other as humans and help rather than harm each other to advance ourselves. I suspect we have to overcome resource scarcity through technology before we can move there. Pre-capitalism reduced humans to animal power. Capitalism reduces humans to purchasing power. Post-capitalism, when we get there in a hundred or a thousand years, may just abuse humans in a different way, or maybe we will finally get to a point where humans are treated with dignity and not as a way for other humans to fulfill themselves. Maybe we can get to sex as love.Last edited by Kepler; 11-15-2020, 11:48 AM.Cornell University

You are one insufferable person.Originally posted by Deutsche Gopher Fan View Post
Go figure he is either asymptomatic (which is about 80 percent of the cases) or experiencing very light symptoms. Sounds terrifying.
In reality it sounds like another person who probably doesn't even have an active infection.
Gazelka said he is not experiencing any major issues or symptoms and his wife, Maralee, has tested negative
Oh and he seems to be spot on with his comment, "Our future cannot be prolonged isolation, face coverings, and limited activities. Our children aren't learning, our seniors deserve better than to die along, and the rise in mental health concerns cannot be ignored."
You would think if these measures worked at all, masks, distant learning, adjusted hours for business, big box companies all working from home since March (Thomson Reuters, Best Buy, ect.) we would see some sort proof in the pudding. But we see the exact opposite.
On a side note what is with your fetish with this Aaron Rupar? He is nothing more than a sensationalist.Last edited by Jeb2020; 11-15-2020, 12:28 PM.Comment

Apparently gazelka flew to Florida Monday. He also became symptomatic Monday. It’s not clear if he flew while symptomatic.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Or he will get real sick and post 12 tweets on Twitter about it and then ask for everyone to "take it seriously" and then when he gets called out it is the Left's fault for being intolerant.Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View Post"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

How much is it costing us to not do anything? How much has it cost to treat all those people in hospitals, the medications and equipment we've needed, the lost hours of productivity for sick or dead, or quarantined workers? How much has insurance been stuck paying for their treatment? How much are the long term costs of being sick?
As usual with Republicans, they'd rather not do anything at the moment because "it'll cost too much" but by putting it off or prolonging it, it ends up costing far more in the long run.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?Comment
