piL posted:Thank you for your service (industry). Those fuckers either have to work to live or are laid off/furloughed, and they don’t have their bosses trying to scrounge up any and all PPE for them to wear. They don’t get issued N95s - which WA state is currently out of, anyways. Those are the people I salute. Just fuckin bare faced, smile or get fired and good luck! Fire Departments here in my area are fuckin horse trading for PPE right now. Everett Fire gave their portable ventilators to Providence RMC to use, and are just bagging people manually. Welcome to the Wild West  Edit: Hell, my department traded Tyvek suits to another in exchange for N95s.

Old Boot posted:This is what our home health/hospice agency is doing with their additional ventilators. Trading them for securing more PPE if it's available. Yeah. We’ve already implemented the CDC’s new guidelines for N95 reuse, but there’s no way our stock is going to last even for a couple weeks. We have to wear N95s on all calls now, and if there’s anything respiratory involved, then we are gowned up as well.

As someone who really enjoys this thread and the birds eye view of what’s going on while my wife and myself are on the frontlines of the corona virus pandemic here in the states (as we both work EMS), I’d like to reiterate something that was said earlier by those who post more regularly here: SHUT THE gently caress UP ABOUT BIDEN AND BERNIE I JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WORLD EVENTS AND HOW hosed MY WIFE AND I ARE HERE IN THE STATES. gently caress

Pine Cone Jones posted:I honestly hate all of this and just wish it was a stupid dream. 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.

People can feel free to vent all they want, but they’ll be the ones who are hosed if we listen to them when they tell us not to do our jobs. Just fuckin laughing at someone telling me or my wife not to do our jobs because we got screwed. Yeah, we loving know it, but now is when we really loving have to do our jobs. This is the type of poo poo that’s why we became a firefighter/EMT and an ER Nurse. It loving sucks, it’s a grind but, it’s the whole concept of this is the poo poo hitting the fan, this is when you’re needed.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:This might almost mean something if the patients were the same as the government officials who hosed things up. They aren't, so it's just deranged sociopathy. And this. My wife wasn’t a huge fan of the hospital she was is working at before this, but now with the workload and high acuity of all the patients she sees, she’s feeling San though she wants to take at least a year off of healthcare when this is done - however long that might take. I’m lucky, my department has a shitload of Tyvek suits leftover from Ebola scare. The N95s are a problem though.

I appreciate reading about my job and my wife’s job and how we should walk away from taking care of our communities. This is dumb, move on.
