Lockdowns work.

You knew that was coming.

Even n95 masks are only 95% effective. The masks in those lines weren't exactly medical grade.
I'm angry and sorry for the people who were infected. We can expect ten times that many or more were exposed and took it home where it can spread to hundreds more. So, Wisconsin just paid an extra month of lockdown for that science experiment in how viruses spread. An extra month, that is, if those people who voted and live in rural areas actually stay home. They won't though. In another month, we'll be hearing about rural health centers being swamped.

It's too bad that some people don't think lockdowns work.

Many Rural Health centers are going or gone bankrupt and closing or closed their doors.
They relied on elective surgeries and out patient visits. No revenue so many many health care workers have been laid off, taken salary cuts and hours cut. More people are going to die because of this.

Rural healthcare facilities will be shut down not swamped.

The states that have experienced the most rural hospital closures over the last 10 years (Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, and Missouri) have all refused to expand Medicaid through the 2010 health care law.
I have no idea how the hospital I work at in Rural OK does their budget. They have acquired over 10 million dollars ,at least, of new imaging equipment this past year and Still open for business but now has cut jobs and hours. oil tycoon donations?
cant wait to leave !!!!!

That’s what I’m pissed about. I’ve done my part and isolated in good faith only to have imbeciles out and about making my effort a waste of fucking time. Yes lockdowns work if an actual fucking lockdown.
i love the idea of signing a waiver: i choose to expose myself to the virus and the hospital is not required to provide me any medical care now matter how much i beg for it. put that on file in every local hospital.

And if tested positive do we get to put a bullet between their eyes if they step outside their door? Just curious is all.

One way of solving the problem is to make sure they get infected quickly and either die or become immune, if they are immune, then no problem protesting or kissing each other when they do it. So rather than allow a pool of potential infection to linger and destroy the economy, a patriot with a fever might wanna mingle with them as part of a bigger public health objective. If you want the economy back up and running, then sacrifices have to be made, just make sure it's them doing the sacrificing. Immune people don't spread it, either do dead ones and since these people won't cooperate, social distance and want to protest in crowds... There is also the added benefit of reducing the number of Trump voters in November. These people are easy prey for anybody who wants to fuck them over and a lot of people do. They like conspiracy theories, someone should give them this one.

I recall you talking about a better offer in a better hospital but you were still on contract. Sometimes a contract is bought out by the hiring office. A friend of mine had a contract with an outfit that hired nurses who wanted to travel for to fill in work at centers that were short staffed. When she found the perfect job for her where she wanted to live, the hiring office bought out her contract. Something you could bring up the next time you are recruited or maybe that other job is still open?

I don't want to force the medical staff to be that brutal, although I'd be understanding if they were, but I'd rather say, everyone else gets treated for free, and you are dead last in the queue

I am currently experiencing work place harassment and they picked a great week to do it in the peak week of the pandemic here . I started a notebook and now know what I’m up against so better prepared to use some new survival skills to keep them at bay. I am taking it day by day and might get a lawyer if needed. I am aggressively looking for another job but am preparing not to pay anything back on my contract.
my last job I had a contract I broke and they tried to threaten me with certified letters and shit but they eventually just stopped following up. It’s a hospital sign on / relocation bonus bullshit. the first hospital I worked at fresh out of school relocated me from PA to WA and I was involved with watching work place racial harassment of my black coworker by our director and helped assist in getting his Racist ass fired . It was so traumatic as a new grad I wanted out and found another job, they begged me to stay but I left and they forgave my sign on bonus . I can see something similar in the works now and just want out and will encourage them not to peruse any type of payback.

In Canada it is legal to record any conversation you are a party too. What does the state law in Okie say about that? Cell Phone audio might be useful as would video, for legal purposes. Anonymously posting videos of legal or regulatory violations online could keep managers and supervisors pretty busy or even remove troublesome ones. Protect patient identity though and be careful to follow the law regarding workplace recording.

Something to consider, but contemporaneous notes are very good for bolstering your credibility. Making a video blog on Facebook about your work place, kind of a public notebook or dear diary after work every day is also a good way to get out of your contract. Lots of healthcare workers are making them these days and most management fears such things and might wanna let ya go.

Good luck in your quest to be free Amber! You have a lot of power if ya can get creative.
