It’s not. My rear end and my wife’s rear end are being run ragged because of it. I am glad my department will not allow 96 hour shifts without chiefs approval, but seeing as how today and tomorrow we have an officer out on sick leave due to CoVID, I don’t look forward to how it will look a couple months from now.

It should be the opposite. Don’t support a system that refuses to protect those that the system depends on. PPE for medics, armor for soldiers, healthcare and housing for workers. Anything less is immoral, especially if the free market is involved. The free market will never provide for this unless ordered to.

My wife made a great observation. All of the other countries that are hard hit, you see the medical staff wearing proper gear or at least as close to it as possible. Here the hospitals are going by CDC directives and NOT allowing protective gear because 'there is no proof it can be transmitted that way'.

Blows my loving mind.

My wife had to bring her own god damned PPE to work in the ICU. Her manager tried to give her poo poo about it and she told her to gently caress right off.

Bernie was leading in donations from active duty military a few weeks ago. Lots of the military is not white. Women can now serve in combat roles. It's not the 70s anymore. Or the 80s. Also the military is a socialist community, and when people get out now, they realize it's like leaving an uncomfortable couch in the living room of a decent little house to sit on a pile of tires that are burning in the garage of a capitalist society that surrounds the military. Throw in that touch of socialized health care (VA) and education (GI Bills) during endless wars and drat right you're going to have more liberal veterans over time.

Vietnam was a different time, different military. The wartime experience now is nothing like Vietnam. Old vets like to play the gently caress you got mine fiddle, that's why they're so republican bent, besides the decades of pandering to the military with giant budgets. They like to believe their health care, or any other benefit, has to be earned. And you know, living through the best decades in human history believing every bullshit John Wayne or Clint Eastwood or republican lip service line about manliness and sacrifice regardless of any of it actually applying to them.

I'm just rambling at this point, but the military now is definitely not the military of any prior generation.
I wish I could feel this was the case. There is an overwhelming presence of chuds where I am: not just the folks in this Texas military town and the Gen-X/boomer contractor/DA civilians, but the active duty Army instructors-typically younger Gen-X and millennials rarely seem anything but.

Perhaps the Air Force is another story. I hope so.

there is a difference between running into your neighbors house that is on fire to save someone without any protective equipment or an oxygen mask, and asking firefighters to run into burning buildings every day as their job without any protective equipment when its their own government that set the building on fire in the first place

also keep in mind that in this scenario the firefighter could possibly go home while still on fire and not know it, setting his family on fire as well

Where are you seeing this, exactly? As far as I know, the CDC and others have from the start been advising average people not to hoard masks explicitly because they are both more needed by and more effective with trained medical professionals.

Could it be just your lovely local hospital administration?

They don't but it's a few thousand people on a ship so yeah, poo poo spreads. There were a couple times I was about the only one not to get some form of gastroenteritis because I never used the handrails on the ladders and always washed my hands in the head next to the wardroom before I ate.

VA just called me. I have an appt on April 8 but the woman said the hospital has active cases of covid so they’re going to be doing phonecalls instead.

If you’ve ever been to the overcrowded zoo that is the DC VA, you know how scary just one active case is for that place.

That's like Schwarzenegger getting food poisoning when filming Predator so he brought along a personal chef to Mexico City when making Total Recall and was the only one on set not to get wiped out by a catering snafu that was so bad the director needed an ambulance on standby.

You’re being incredibly snarky in your responses and it comes off as incredibly condescending.

You just like to argue so you find stuff to argue about.

Doctors and nurses are being screwed by the same administration that is asking them to put their lives on the line.

People are allowed to be jaded by this. It’s hosed up.
