I wish Idaho would too. It sucks that people are not seeing the science behind it all. It is getting worse by the day 🙁

I work in the NHS here in the UK – the admin side of things. So I’ve worked through this since the beginning. I also rely on public teansport. I’m having to mix with a lot of people, and fortunately not brought the virus back with me and I haven’t caught it. It definitely irritates me though when you queue to get into a shop, or you open the door for someone and they either stand on top of you or barge right past. I haven’t been able to visit my baby niece who has been here now for over 4 months. These times are crazy and although I cannot wait for it to end, I fear it will take years.

In other words, it will not be the politicians who will save your life tomorrow, the doctors and nurses you are ignoring today will do it. And it’s sad.

It is ironic, because it is those people we turn to when our lives are affected by any kind of illness or convalescence, and it is these same people that we are not listening to in these moments of health emergency.

Interesting that cases didn’t begin to skyrocket until exactly 2 weeks after the protests and rioting started. Hmmm

We’ve been extremely lucky in Australia, so far. Infection rate is relarively low and was almost completely under control until a week ago where a second outbreak has begun in Melbourne. It’s being contained and treated, so hopefully won’t get out of hand.

I really feel for everyone in the US who is genuinely trying to do everything they can to avoid exposure. Sadly, it seems too many are still being ignorant or unwilling to follow advice. I sincerely hope that things improve over there soon. People like Jeremy are true heroes right now, and I wish him and all his colleagues the very best.

I’m not going to make this political, but I seriously believe (as does the vast majority of the world) that nothing less than a change in leadership in the US will start to turn thiings around for all of America.

Its so sad how everything in this country ends up being about politics. What should be simple straightforward science is being twisted into a political battlefield with our own citizens being the casualty of this war.

Thanks for sharing this article, Gen. It’s so important to hear messages from our Frontline healthcare workers, especially that they are quarantined from their own families!

I work in a hospital lab in Northwest Arkansas, and he’s right on so many levels. But I really agree about a mass exodus from healthcare. We are so extremely busy with not only running COVID testing for many hospitals and clinics, but because of what COVID is doing to the body, physicians are running a whole battery of tests daily for every patient in our full units. We’re stretched thin and we’re all feeling it. We all love what we do and love our patients, but some of my coworkers are breaking down at home a couple times a week from the stress.
