It never was house arrest and anyone saying that knows it!

If you thought you couldn't leave your house, you are not very intelligent.

Are you a child who doesn't understand or do you just want to provoke people?

I don't believe any with this opinion are thinking rationally but just want to stir up riots and anger and all the hate they can.

Nice going in helping destroy any progress made, and also in representing the worst behavior you can. It makes most in our country ashamed as the rest of the world watches in horror, as most of us do too.

@Moonlady, I think you are a little confused.  I am the nurse that posted about those 2 friends. It wasn't @Kachina624 

Sorry, I am very proud of my fellow nurses out there and many of the physicians that I worked with along the way.  They are doing outstanding work and had to do so in the early days as if they were working in a third world country.

@Moonlady -

When anyone talks about first responders, they are not referring to these few you mentioned and you know it.

While you are trying as hard as you can to find something to denigrate about the first responders,

the rest of the world is praising them every day and night and thanking them for saving lives and standing by their loved ones side as they are dying.

Either provoking people or panic about the situation.

Those protesters are pathetic, but we've done good (as in we the people).   What we can do we have done.  I know it's true where I am, and other people here have said it about their areas, how there's a real community spirit going on.  So we get a pat on the back in my book!

My only hope is that the "freedom seekers" are Bots or agents being paid to further disrupt what's left of this country.  I am through reading because the disruptors never get tired.  I will try to live my life or what's left of it, without harming anyone else.

So my question to all these people in various states and counties around the country is, if your protesting and ignoring  the social distancing and wearing of masks would cause a second surge of this horrendous virus, would you give up your ventilator so someone who did follow the rules could have one? Think about that.

We now have a surplus of ventilators, and we're sending them overseas.

Even doctors are saying we overreacted, and the masks are actually not all that worthwhile.  One figure I heard was that 40% of the transmissions were through the eye, and since most gloved and masked people are still touching their faces, oops.

@Blahblahvampemer 

Since you know where there are surplus respirators, 

PLEASE call my Governor first thing in the AM, we 

are running very short.  Need PPE equipment too.

I know this for a fact, so thanks for your help.

*** BTW your statistics in this and previous post are ‘off’.

Night to all the real people!

The photos of the armed protesters in the Michigan capital were frightening.  I found it stunning that some "higher ups" in the Federal government praised their actions.

These were the same people that ranted and raged when some NFL players took a knee in protest during the National Anthem.

It is all about "rights" if it falls in with your beliefs but heaven help you if it is about an opposing view.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

Other countries must watch us in shock and disbelief.

Much of the world pities the USA now as our stats get worse and we get stupider.

pitdakota,

Thank you for your kind words regarding my friends who survived the coronavirus.   The husband had some underlying lung condition (I don't know what it is but his wife alluded to it).  They are each about a decade and a half younger than I am.  That's enough to frighten the dickens out of me!

I am so sorry to learn about the mothers who died not long after giving birth.  What a tragedy!   There are no words to describe the pain, sorrow and sense of loss that their babies will feel in their lifetime.  So sad.

You may have spoken to 2 nurses who were "disgusted." However, I and the rest of the public, have been treated to more than 2 nurses who were...disgusting.

Let's see...the nurses protesting while not, themselves, social distancing, the "Tik-Tok" nurses, who think it's amusing to pretend to be carrying a dead CV victim, the FL nurse who took a burn when she saw an elderly man's mask that his wife made for him, and posted on his account to be sure to wear it if he came to the ER, so that they'd know who NOT to allow to use a respirator, the nurses raising a public stink because they're "first responders," but weren't allowed to cut in front of other shoppers...

Hardly the ones I'd want to confer "hero" status on, even considering how low that bar has become.

Perhaps there Will be a First Responder there when You need one.
