I won't speculate on whether he smokes or not or about his medical history. I don't even recall ever meeting him since he is not a regular visitor like his sister and her son. I do know he is taking up space in a hospital that could be taken up by, say, heart attack or stroke patients that he...

Three breakthrough cases at my facility as of this weekend. All from an outside unvaccinated pre-symptomatic family visitor and then a resident bingo party. All my Pfizer vaccinated residents are 80+, female, with a number of health issues, and asymptomatic. All are getting vit d and zinc as our...

Nurses are talking about quitting because of burn out and people's lack of concern about hospital workers, other citizens, and their own bodies. When people don't give a damn about themselves and the sick and elderly some nurses don't give a damn either. That may end up being our reckoning

One trend I of which I would like to make note is a lot of veteran nurses are talking about leaving early or changing jobs. So far it seems like it's just talk but if it becomes a walk away from healthcare we will suffer in the future. I've heard that census counts at the local LPN schools are...

I don't think anyone cares about your ethnic identity anymore. You're White in our stratified society.

My original post was deleted due to the Trump stuff. I will keep that to myself. Flu deaths are pretty high but nowhere near COVID deaths. This year it was lower than other years but not out of it's typical range over the past decade. At their highest it is about 1/10th the amount of COVID...

Most of our 50 deaths died at the local hospitals not at our nursing home. The same happened at all nursing homes in the area tying up space, equipment, and manpower. That's the difference between nursing home deaths in 2019 and nursing home deaths in 2020. Numbers (and they are way over last...

What. The. Fvck.

I work at one of the largest nursing homes in the area. We had well over 150 cases and close to 50 deaths. The local hospitals have been communicating closely with us because of how quickly it can and did get out of hand last year. So far they say their census is rising and resource usage is...

Most of us don't have to deal with our demons in front of billions. I wonder how well we would come across if we did.

No fall? No me.

Exercise, eat right, don't smoke, meditate, read, and make time for your family. The results will speak for themselves.

Probably because many of those tougher men abdicated their fatherly responsibility and left or let mom run the show so they can watch more sports and drink more beer.

I'm that 40 year old guy that sits at home with his wife and family and gets sh!t from my single friends about not coming out with them at night. Personally I wouldn't have it any other way. We get together to play disc golf and hike and even D&D over a beer or too but a life has to have...

Fellas women like sex just as much as men. And they will cheat for a big d!ck or an active tongue as much as any other reason. Sometimes I think guys learn about women only from other guys...and that's their problem.

I have multiple sclerosis and fatigue is a regular part of my life. Fall asleep while driving fatigue. Sleep for two days fatigue. When I started hiking and biking and bodyweights I started beating my MS. I can regularly stay awake until 9PM at night now (small victories).

Everyone has been exposed. But depending on the amount of time and masking the viral load might not have been enough to infect. You can always test for antibodies for proof though. I feel a positive test would be akin to a vaccination for healthcare workers. I'm glad you made it though but I...

None of that helps the American military win wars. Just recently tried it twice and got sent packing by sheepherders with bottle rockets. Intelligence, leadership, planning, and knowing your enemy AND your allies accomplishes the mission.

Do you work around elderly, immunocompromised, or otherwise unhealthy patients? I'm against employers requiring the vax in 99% of cases but, in my ltc facility, I had to fire 3 people for not getting the vaccine. We had 50+ deaths (and many more long term complications) because of COVID and I...

That is not the moral at all. That is. Police officers are tired of scooping boyos' brains up after pissing contests like this.
